Hey guys,

Just yesterday after work i start my car (havent started the engine since the morning) while warming up the car, the rev automatically jump to about 3000rpm and stayed there. Normally it'll be about under or just above 2000rpm when the car is still cold.

Just today coming back to work from lunch, realise the rev jumps and drop automaticaly while i am driving. I mean i am only crusing about 40km/h rev jump up to like 6000rpm drops and jumps again.

Anyone experienced this problem before? What could be the problem?

Much appreciate it for any help.

Is the car hopping/stuttering? Could be AFM if that's the case.

Hi,

No the car is driving fine. The sound of my exhaust is not louder while the rev is jumpimg. I can see the rev jump in the corner of my eye. It happened this morning coming to work as well but i wasnt sure. I saw it again so now im certain.

Before all this happen, my car would just shut off with the revs dropping while i switch on the car in the morning for work. It would start on the second try everytime. Funny thing is, the car would start first time during the day even if i start the car after work which it havnt been starting since the morning.

Cheers

Henry

Do you mean you see the rev counter need jump out of the corner of your eye. Is the engine actually reving up as well or just the needle on the counter dial jumping about.

Hey guys,

Latest update. On the way home tonight, the rpm needle went ballistic. Its going past the redline it literally move all the way down like we are clocking our cars. I dont know how to explain it. The needle just keep moving up and down by itself while the car drives normal.

In need of help asap i dont wanna leave it for too long.

Thanks

Mate get another ign module and try that im 90% sure u have a bad connection in your current one causing ur rev guage to spike, my commodore done the exact same thing but i managed to re solder the dry joint. the rb20 ign modules are not repairable unless ur an expert!

also pull out both connections of the module and check for mousture etc blow it out with a compressor that could cause a problem like this

      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.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
