I have had issues where the fuel pump looses its earth contact. Somewhere I read where a member had made up an earth kit for his 35. I have just done it for my C34.

Ok tah.

I'll suggest that to see if it may be a possibility in this case...

Hopefully its nothing to serious, or tedious

Nothing new as of yet..

Would it be worth trying to check the ECU Fault Codes for anything?

It couldn't hurt or make anything worse so I'd give it a shot. If something has died or gone wrong it may assist you in pin pointing where to look.

Well, I'm not going to get a chance to do it tonight...

We had our Mechanic friend come around and have a look, and they checked over everything, and fuel seems to be getting to the engine, and the pump is working fine, but it is something else.

Either way, we'll try and see what codes (if any) we can extract from the car...

I read another thread where the AFM had died?

Anyone think this could be the case in mine?

It seems like it's something stupid that died, because Dad got it started after putting fuel in, it was Mum who tried starting it later, then it wouldn't start...

It's up on dad's hoist at the moment, so we can check it all out...

May sound like a stupid question, but I'm not in front of my car, and I don't know them all that well, but where do I locate the AFM?

(yes I am car noob)

Going to go check it out in about an hour...

See if I can get any codes out or anything else...

Hi Guys,

Well we checked the AFM, didn't do shit.

Got the code out of the ECU, I cant remember as my memory is shocking, but it was either one of the following

P0120 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Malfunction

P0121 Throttle Position Sensor/Switch A Circuit Range/Performance Problem

Played round with a few other things relating to the code, but still nothing

Anyway, ended up getting it tilt-trayed to the Auto-Electrician, as its sorta becoming beyond our knowledge of what it might be...

f**k.

Try re-seating the plug on the throttle body? Give it a light tap also, in case the contacts on the tps are dirty. Then try resetting the ecu? Failing that I would have to suggest Nissan. :blink:

Scott....how do you have time to be on SAU!!! :)

where are my parts b**ch!!!!

Checked for blown fuses?

Yeah checked that. All appeared to be fine

Yeah gave that a bit of a go.

Bit lost and confused really lol...

See how the Auto-Electrician goes. Hopefully he find something silly that I've missed.

I would clear the codes and try again. see if it spits out the same code again.

It's in the hands of the Auto-Electrician now, so I cant do anything atm.

i have a spare throttle body if you need it!

I'll keep that in mind mate. Appreciate it.

No word from the Auto-Electrician at the moment...

I'm just hoping the issue is not something super f**ked up.

Just to let you guys know, the car has been fixed. It's running, driving all ok...

I haven't been told what the issue was yet, he was just doing some final checkovers, idling was down, so just waiting till its all working to find out.

I'll let you guys know what it is, for everyone else's future reference (in case its an issue no one has experience)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
