hi!

A friend and I were trying to resolve a issue with missfire at 4.5-5.5k rpm and we tried a ecu diagnostic, coming up with error 34 (knock sensor)

we had already inspected the coil packs for cracks etc (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Missfire-Boost4500-5500-t32356.html)

so we had a look at the knock sensor sub harness and it was cut (intentionally by the looks of the cut) so we decided to solder it back together (both copper and outta shielding) and see if we could get that error code fixed.

now when we start the car, it idles normal (800rpm), but as soon as i touch the accelerater it splutters and sounds terrible / undriveable.

read around and is the ecu going into safe mode R&R? i wasn't getting this issue before i repaired the harness. still error 34 after resetting the computer (press brake 1 minute neg off battery)

so we revert to putting the knock sensor back to normal and cut it with plugs left in sensors/loom like before, but still same issue :D (obv not smart but worth a try)

would leaving the negitive off for 48 hours fix the issue? (advised by a friend)

buy genuine harness from nissan with 2 new sensors as my ones are prolly faulty?

are the knock sensors sub harness usually disabled/cut on standard or upgraded r32's for any reason?

my car is r32 gts-t 1989 stock boost 10psi / exhaust / walbro 550 / FMIC

any suggestions would be great thanks :woot:

I can't think of a reason to cut a knock sensor... I would probably try getting new sensors, or if possible, try and diagnose the condition of the current ones (if there is a way).

Leaving your negative off for 48 hours is doing exactly the same thing as dc-ing your battery and applying the brake - it means that there's no charge left in the battery at all, so there's no point doing that if you've already done the brake thing.

thanks for the reply, what has happened is the connector from one of the lines of the sub harness became detached when installing, so we fixed that and did another ecu test.. code 55 All OK !! :)

only thing is the symptoms are still occuring, is it just coinsidence that the knock sensor repair had given me terrible stuttering and when i rev it to 3.5-4rpm im getting vaccum the whole time, no boost?

We actually had changed the fuel pump to a walbro 550 hp pump that morning, so possible a faulty fuel pump??

so i hope that with the bigger fuel pump its pushed a lot of crap into the fuel filter so im going to get it replaced now.

anyway ill have a hunt around the forums since i think i know what the issue is now and get some ideas

one step at a time :D

cheers

    • 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
