Hey Rolls, I have updated what I have done but here it goes again,

Replaced coil packs

Replaced o2 sensor

Resoldered afm points

Changed spark plugs, oil and oil filter

When I did all that the fuel economy improved.

I have since put a FMIC and then a week or so later it started using a lot of fuel again.

Now the only problems I have are,

Poor fuel consumption approx 220kms per tank of Shell V-Power.

TCS and SLIP lights are constantly on.

Sorry about all the confusion and thanks for your help dude.

Also I forgot to mention I have disconnected the eboost and all I have now is a simple turbosmart T piece running 11 psi.

Remove it until your problems are all sorted, running more boost could make it harder to diagnose.

Have you removed the BOV yet? Also run consult now and tell me what all the error codes are after you have fixed the issues you noted.

And yes it is a genuine o2 sensor, I'm not sure if I have reset the computer properly I disconnect the battery and leave it off for 10 minutes and press the brakes a couple times, is there another way?

Yep disconnect for say 30 minutes and put a weight on the brake pedal for a minute, pressing it for 10 seconds is all you really need but it doesn't hurt.

So after a reset and plugging consult in you only get error code 17 now? What does error code 17 say or indicate has failed?

You can plug your boost controller back in once you have diagnosed and fixed all your problems, it might not but it will possibly make diagnosing the issues more difficult and you want to fix the car don't you?

Hey Rolls, Of course I do I want to continue modding :D, well when I reset the ecu nothing comes up unless I completely turn the car on, so say I reset the ecu and only turn the reds on to connect to consult it tells me it has no errors, after I turn the car on code 17 pops up straight away like a whore on a corner, as per the workshop manual code 17 states

Code 17

ABS-TCS CONTROL UNIT CIRCUIT

DEFENITON: THROTTLE CONTROL UNIT DETECTS MALFUNCTION IN THE SYSTEM. (OPEN THROTTLE SENSOR HARNESS, ETC.) - TCS-ABS CONTROL UNIT DETECTS MALFUNCTION.

I know I say it a lot but seriously thank you for your replies, I really do appreciate any help greatly, thanks.

I honestly don't think that's an issue, sounds like your TCS won't work but most people would pull the fuse anyway, in fact check the TCS fuse, I bet someone has already pulled it to do burnouts as it sounds like some loser was the previous owner with the gay atmo BOV and everything else being broken.

Drive it now and see what your economy is like, and tell us how do you drive it, do you drive it with a few boosts now and then, or do you drive it like you are on a racetrack, as if it is the later it would explain the 200kms to a tank.

Also does it blow much black smoke? Get someone to drive behind you and take off hard in 1st and second.

It isn't really an issue but it shits me, if I want to do burnouts ill just flick traction control off and go for it haha lol, I would rather the car work as from factory if you get what I'm saying, plus I bought the car privately off a 84 year old in Japan with full log books and call, the bastard just bought a r35.

Umm not sure if it blows smoke but dayummm does my rear bar and boot get black quickly, like I said previously I mostly travel short distances with a boost here and there.

Hey guys before I start I would like to say sorry and please don't flame me, my computer has broken down and I'm on my phone and can't search and from what I have read it's all mostly for gtr's and for r33s and r32s.

I have a r34 gtt skyline series 2 2000 model manual with 69000kms on the clock.

I'm doing a completely full service to it and need to know what the best gearbox and diff oil to use.

It mainly gets driven really hard, thanks for any help in advance, thanks.

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
