Ok so i have been having a few issues with the 34 for a while now namely electrical/ sensors ect ect, and was having the fixed on thursday next week. but now i just started my car and it sounded....odd. 3x louder than usual, extreme loss of power and it sounds like my exhaust is below me feet. i checked underneath and found that i had exhaust comming from what looked like a loose connection in my exhaust setup. has anyone had this problem before? because i cant get underneath to fix it/ know how itt happned....can anyone help? or give a few ideas?

cheers....

I am not making sense of this ...

Your exhaust isn't attached in a place or is a bit or your exhaust missing? :S

Oh and it probably sounds like a rex because of your coil packs lol ...

a joint in a section has come lose, its not detached but i have exhaust leaking from it now...lol

i only had the coils put in less that 8,000 k's ago.... just tried to get to the coilpack/spark plug housing and now i find one of the bolts on the pipe above the housing is threadlocked......fail night lol

Oh I see, the usual things that causes this is becoming loss over time or hitting a bump etc ... It's an easy fix tho :blink:

Treadlocked = fail!

Sounds like the start of a long night lol ... Good luck with repairs :D

lucky! =P well i got under, and it turns out i have some shoddy workmanship. the weld that connects the other side of the exhaust has actualy come unstuck and is only held there by the bolts. so it seems it just have been what they used to seel the to parts.... kinda like this

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
