hey guys!

just asking for trying to help a friend out!

the car is a 2000 r34 GTT.

ok the car was running fine before it got a service from ultratune. since the service the car on a cold start engine light will come on, slip light turns on, traction control light comes on, it backfires alot and runs really slugish.

we took it back to ultratune they said that my friend has no proof that it was them, what could be wrong with the car?

thanks

Probley better of taking it to a good name tuning shop for service because they will have diagnostics for these sort of things.

Any way could be wrong heat range / fowled plugs but i would say Very GOOD chance that the coil packs are gone.. Nice new set of splitfire coils (one of the best).. This is a very common problem for the R34 Skylines mate.

Good luck hey..

:shudders at thought of a skyline in Ultra Tune workshop:

What did Ultra Tune do exactly?

If it really was running fine before he took it in then it will be one of the things they did.

If not do a search about the problem.

But all the dash lights etc coming on is wierd and would not be caused by coilpacks or anything like that.

no offence femno but umm i do own a r34 and did have this problem and they are the dash lights that come on when there is a ignition problem as most R34 owners would know..

Probley should check up before you comment..

Ultratune... :)

Take it to a decent workshop and get them to look over the car and fix the problem.

You can go see Racepace, RE Customs, Chasers, Status, Le Mans Automotive, just to name a few.

They can help you out.

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
