Hello everyone

I have a R34 GTT and It has those 3 light on

I just replaced the coil pack and spark plugs but still the same problem

The car does not accelerate normally, the engine sound ok at low rpms

Reading at some post...some people fixed with an new AFM

Does anyone here have an AFM I can borrow or buy?

Thanks

try cleaning the afm first as it might have a light film of oil over it from blow by from the PCV system

If you know its a faulty AFM there are a few people wrecking r34's in the private sale section otherwise go to skyline spares in wetheril park.. cheapest place for parts and a top bloke

Could also be the coilpack loom, or an off chance that it's a faulty coilpack or plug. Have heard of both.

Actually heard a similar story to this a while ago and it turned out to be a fautty new plug! Hope it's something simple mate.

When you floor it above 4.5k rpm what does the boost get to? I thought mine was normal till I found out 12 psi isn't normal lol. Should be round 7-8psi, or round 0.5 kg/cm^2 which I think is the unit on the gauge.

Would be surprised if the gap was the issue on the 0.8 gapped plugs.

I think it is getting better

Got an airflow cleaner from Repco

and I can drive the car now and it feel ok, Thanks David

But I still have 2 lights on TCS and SLP

I have disconnected the battery for 24 hours to reset the ECO (Does it work?)

after the 24 hours the lights still on

I have a boost controller and I havent figured it out yet..may need to take it to someone who knows and can show me how it work

The factory boost gauge doesnt work..can it be because of the boost controller..taking the reading?

Thanks everyone

If the lights are coming on after a reset then it's a new fault code. You can detect the fault codes using this

but I'm guessing it's the usual ones. You can also reset using that above, which is way easier than playing with the battery.

Are you sure everything was plugged back in after the plugs and coilpacks were changed?

The boost controller may be the cause of some of these problems. Did you install it yourself?

All the light are off

Thanks everyone...I think the problems was the AFM, after cleaning it and a proper reset...(Disconnected the battery and pressed the brake pedal)

Everything seen to be working

@Galois

The Boost controller came with the car..and no instruction manual ..I need to find out how to use it..

Thanks again to everyone for your opinions

i recently cleaned my afm inside and out with electrical cleaner and in the process cracked a few dry solder joins and had your same problems,

was stressing for a few days because i thought i toasted it with electrical cleaner some how then found that, like my boost gauge sender device, the joints were cracked.

i think its a common problem for these particular joints to crack and open circuit because ive seen alot of people with this problem on the forums.

resoldered them and all is well :)

sorry im a bit late to post :P

Yes.. I saw this link in how to fix it

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/113284-fixing-your-rb26-afms/page__hl__afm

I will try to fix it and if it works I will have a spare one for the future

    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
    • So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them
    • I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
    • Good work to think to check that, and thanks for coming back to post up the outcome.
    • Given it happened suddenly, and when you come on boost, I'd check all your inlet - hose clamps in place and no split rubber or silicone hoses. Even the hard to get to ones near the intercooler. It's possible air that went past the air flow meter is being dumped out a big hole.
