Hey guys was cruisin round the city in Brisbane tonight with some of the boys and was stopped at a set of lights.. Lights went green and i put my foot down to go and it jus prety much sat there looked down and my A/T light was on...

felt like the car was constantly stuck in top gear just had no power wud hav it flat to the floor trying to hit 50klm's...

car was in tiptronic mode at the time and the display showed it was in 1st gear and i shifted to second third fourth etc didnt make any difference jus kept at the same speed and revs wud not climb...

anyway got it to a servo in time took like 10mins for a 5min drive lol stopped the car... started her again the A/T light didnt go out straight away it sat there flashing a few times then went out... so i stopped it and started again the A/T light went out as per usual this time..

I told my mates to get out of the car and check for any fluids ther was no leaks or nething so i started her once again and yet again the light went out as per usual so i risked it and drove it down the road for a little test and it shifted perfect didnt miss a beat...

what do you reckon just a computer malfunction or should i be worried??

Car is 1998 R34 (auto) 4dr... done like 80 XXX klms only

i had this problem with mine to ages ago!! (r34 auto). If you run a diagnostic i think it should come up as one of your solenoids is faulty or something along those lines? I'm pretty sure you'll have to replace it :down: then you should be sweet!

solenoids help the car go into gear and will crunch if faulty or worn (could be the issue but the gearbox light wouldn't come up for this. Its suspect an electrical problem. When you have a auto car and you put a manual gearbox in, if you don't change the ECU to a manual ECU and get rid of the auto one the car will go into 'limp mode'. The car is sluggish and cannot get over 50km\h. Its defiantly an electrical problem that your car is having because it has gone into limp mode. have a diagnostics test run on it (it my have just been a short and wont happen again).......

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
