Do I have a fault in my system? Sometimes the orange light in the Power/Snow switch flashes more times than others. My car has always flashed it about 3/4 each time I turn it on, but lately it's been flashing alot more. Not always though, but I'm noticing it lately. Nothing seems to be wrong in the car otherwise though :D

I found this on the skylineowners forum.

Auto Transmission Diagnostics

----------------------------------------

Enter the auto transmission diagnostics mode

1 Have the car at normal temperature in Park with the overdrive on

2 Start the engine the power light will go out after 2 seconds

3 Turn the ignition off

4 Move the selector to Drive (you may have to use the push

button release)

5 Overdrive off

6 Wait 2 seconds, and turn the ignition on

7 Wait 2 seconds and move the selector to 2

8 Overdrive on

9 Move the selector to 1

10 Overdrive Off

11 Press the accelerator fully and release

Auto transmission diagnostics codes

The error codes are flashed out using the Power light on the

dashboard (R32) or the Power/Snow button (R33). The sequence

starts with one long flash. If everything is OK, this will be

followed by ten short flashes.

Errors are indicated by a long flash in the sequence of short flashes.

1st flash longer Revolution sensor shorted or disconnected

2nd flash longer Speed sensor shorted or disconnected

3rd flash longer Throttle sensor shorted or disconnected

4th flash longer Shift solenoid A shorted or disconnected

5th flash longer Shift solenoid B shorted or disconnected

6th flash longer Overrun clutch solenoid shorted or disconnected

7th flash longer Lockup solenoid shorted or disconnected

8th flash longer Fluid temperature sensor is disconnected or

the control unit power source is damaged

9th flash longer Engine revolution sensor shorted or disconnected

10th flash longer Line pressure solenoid shorted or disconnected

All flashes the same with no long start flash means Battery voltage low

or has been recently disconnected or control unit has just

been reconnected

Now mine is flashing when I turn the car on, not when I'm putting into a test mode. But I wonder if this information is still relevant. Will print it out and have it with me next time I start the car.

Cheers, yeah ill give it a go and let you know.....it was after i f**ked around with the stereo in my car and the car felt like it was dragging ass and won't go into 3rd or 4th at all (pretty much as soon as i finished with the stereo) only drives in second and if i get to about 80km/hr the revs are at 3000rpm and if i let the accelerator go revs drop to 1000rpm or sometimes lower...checked all the fuses, replaced them (non were damaged, but just as a precaution and went through all the fuses in the engine bay and connections with contact cleaner (no difference).

cheers

Worked a treat for me mate...the 3rd flash and 5th flash were longer so TPS is rooted and the Shift solenoid B is gone...cheers heaps for the post and hope it all works out..

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      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.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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?
