Not exactly minutes, but not too long if you know what your doing, ill do a write up, ill call nissan now and see if i can get the gaskets today, so the standard gaskets are better than the ebay ones yeah.

From what I can see you have major issues I may be able to help with a few things here:

tcs light / slip light stays on - This is common on R34's and is usually solved by putting in new coil packs (jjr, yellow jackets, splifires) this is what I did to solve this in my car.

Leaking gasket of unknown origin - take the heat shield off the turbo and grab a length garden hose put it to your ear and put the other end to the manifolds (turbo and exhaust) check it a section at a time, this is the easiest way to see what is blown (I had a similar problem with mine it was my turbo manifold gasket - replaced with ultra copper gasket maker and it has no problems now).

Boost gauge / controller issues - buy an electronic boost gauge / controller that is known to be quallity manufactured IE: Apexi AVC-R (cheaping out on these cars will really break the bank later on down the line)

If your car is still having issues with these things after this go see a mechanic that has skills with skylines don't take it to joe blogs down the road as they tend to have very specific issues.

also check for perished hoses on the throttle body ( I found 2 on mine and it was in damn near immaculate nic everywhere else)

Hey randomhero, well I was told that aswell but the car isnt missfiring or anything? and usually if its the coil packs doesnt the check engine light turn on or anything? well I put the new o2 sensor in and the fuel economy is awsome now, 400kms to the tank thats double of what i was getting :D, as for the idle, I cleaned out the afm with afm cleaner, went for a nice spirited drive and its back on 950rpm so I'm happy, hopefully if its not raining tomorrow I will be changing the turbo gaskets, as for the boost guages I found the problem, the T peice had blown a hole in the middle and was leaking there, i havent ever seen that happen before but yeah wierd haha lol, do you think its time I can put my front mount intercooler on? would I be expecting any power gains from a front mount? also what are the best brake pads that make minimal brake dust? the ones that are on there now are just horrible the whole car turns black after a few stops.

One more thing, is it normal for the rear bar to go black from the exhaust? is that just because its running rich?

Thanks everyone for your help.

Hey guys what do use think is better just geniuine nissan turbo gaskets or permaseal mls-r gaskets? ive read great comments about both, soon ill be running around 12psi like i used to untill these problems arised, please let me know asap please, thanks.

Hey thanks jez I've ordered the permaseal ones and I should receive and fit them tomorrow hopefully, the car still smells really rich from the exhaust, what else could be causing such a rich mixture.

Also I noticed today that when the car is idleing its at around 900-950rpm, when I turn the parker lights on it rises around 150rpm and then when I turn the full head lights on its only raised around 50-100rpm.

Also does anyone know about the black gunk on my rear bar and exhaust that I mentioned earlier.

Thanks to everyone for your help, I really do appreciate it greatly, thanks.

Are you selling the O2 sensors? Im only getting 300K per tank.

I had a similar problem..

My link my post

at the end my AFM was causing the problems, but after cleaning the AAC the idle is much better

Aac cleaning

Hey guys I installed a E-Boost 1 in my car and I'm having some problems, no matter how I set it the boost is never right, it keeps on fluctuating, say on setting 2 I put it to run 10psi it will boost up at 3000rpm spike to 14 and then at 4500rpm just kark it and go to 5psi, its not cutting out or anything just loosing the boost hard, I've played with the sensitivity and gate open pressure and it just wont work right, I'm using iradium plugs 1.1mm gap, currant mods are 3" cat back exhaust, pod filter, I'm getting a FMIC installed this week but i doubt that that will help with the boost, any help is much appreciated, thanks.

Hey guys, well I finally decided to degrease my engine bay, and I thought the coilpack cover should be sealed, well I guess not, and its been missfiring so i just left the car on to let it dry off because my aircompressor is at work and after about 20 minutes of driving/idleing it was ok, now it started again mainly on boost but sometimes on idle, have I killed my coil packs? or should i just wait untill i get my aircompressor back and dry it up? let me know asap please, thanks.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
