Hi guys, really new to the forum and Skylines, they have always been my dream cars!

I just bought a really nice new r34 gt 1999, with 58,000kms on the dash(I know it probably was wound back).....

It is really smooth, the engine runs very smooth and all fluids are topped up, clean engine bay etc...

Today I was driving it for about 10 minutes, when i was doing about 50kph in 3rd gear, the engine light came on and the car lost about 50% power, still was running but the exhaust sounded like it was missing. I pulled over and turned it off and let it sit for like 1 minute, then restarted it and drove to the mechanic just down the road. When I pulled up he said it sounded like it was running on 5 cylinders, and that the coils might be going... Does this sound like a reasonable explanation? I restarted it and all was fine, running butter smooth again... Can anyone help me out here?

-I really drive it nice, I dont frag it too hard....

Thanks in advance to anyone who could help me out.

Second thing, could someone tell me more about the body kit that is on my car?

hey mate, the body kit is the optional nismo aero kit (much nicer than the series 2 stock kit)

and i've been chasing that kit forever! hard to get, either gonna get a copy or get an impul kit haha..

and the misfire that happened to me to! my car was misfiring that bad it sounded like a wrx :S (engine light came on once upon a time and it was baaaaad reset after a while though)

but anyway yeah, it's most likely coil packs, i'm having mine replaced as well as new ngk iridiums put in next week when i get back from site.

just visit this thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fi...view=getnewpost

:P

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
