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.

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
