hey guys i have a 98 R34 coupe with tiptronic auto. im having the usuall A/T light comin on n then being stuck in 3rd gear untill i switch the car off for a bit. the car has done 134,000km n has been doin it for about 4000kms off n on. i took the car to west coast automatics n had a new solenoid kit put in coz i was gettin error codes for the solenoids. they replaced shift solenoid a +b and the lock up solenoid n the line pressure solenoid as they came as a kit. 2 days later the A/T light came on and im stuck in 3rd again. this leads me to believe it either a fault with the auto ecu control unit, dodgy power supply or earth or the wiring. although it seems to b happening to alot of 98 model r34s with around the 140k mark so seems to be a wear issue or some sort. has anybony had this problem and actually pinpointed the cause and fixed the problem completely? i am going to check my earth leads and power supply leads and test the car then go from there and hopefully eliminate a few things off the list of possible causes.

its been a bit of a saga so far. the throttle position sensor was earthing out when the ambiant temp was hot which was triggering a/t mode. so i replaced that and it was ok for a while but its doin it again n the throttle position sensor if fine now so it has to be something else. the tcm still comes up with an error code for the turbine sensor although i hav replaced that sensor aswell. probably gonna get nissan to find the problem. they made the car so im sure they can figure out wats wrong with it. ive checked everything i possiblily can so either the tcm is screwed or theres a wiring fault. hav u checked what fault code its coming up with?

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
