Hi All,

Anyone out there got the guts on what these CODES are that have been thrown up on DATASCAN 1.5 on my R34 GTT 1999?

CODE 16

CODE 17

CODE 46

As far as I can tell these codes do not exist???

I also have CODE 43: THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT - I am coming to grips with having to replace this expensive part, as it is not testing very well and the wirelooms are ripped ;)

sounds like you got the same one as me plus a couple. Your issues seems to be your TCS is not hooked up properly. I dont even have TCS and its getting code 16.

Well I am now down to just having to resolve CODE 46, TMS for R34 GTT, I have replaced and set TPS correctly, rewired loom, cleaned all connections points, redone all earth points what a job! Also replaced all fuses throughout car.

CODE 17 is cleared after getting my breaks overhauled, machined and all pads replaced with BENDIX from JustJap, must have been a sensor thing.

Now I just have a bad circuit in Throttle Motor Sensor CODE 46, $190.00 to replace OEM unit so WTH!

I am now very happy with the results, my car is going superbly. PHEW some work I have performed on this car, I feel like an R34 troubleshooting expert now!

I am new to skylines, how do I read the error codes?

I have put the car into diagnostic mode by shorting those two pins to test the o2 sensor (which was fine). Is it related to that?

Well...how about a code 37? I currently have my "TCS OFF" and "Slip" lights on as soon as I move it out of 'P'. That, I assume is a broken wire, as it gradually blipped in and out until giving up completely.

However, I once tried starting it in 'D', which gave me an engine warning light, this code 37. Engine Off for 4+ hrs, still there, so I cleared the codes, and it stayed away, until this afternoon, came back. no apparent reason.

What does 37 refer to?

Harey:

to read the codes, you begin with the ignition off.

-turn key to 'ON' without starting it. (should have about 20,000 lights lit on your dash about now, including the engine light)

-bridge the two pins for 2+ seconds: top row, last on the Right, of the diagnostic port using bent paperclip or similar. (top row, when plastic cover is at the bottom)

-the engine light will now flash the codes. Long gaps for multiples of 10, short gaps for multiples of 1.

-to clear codes, bridge the same pins for 2+ seconds again, then turn ignition off, and then start engine and check that light is no longer lit.

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
