Hi All,

Up for sale is my 2001 R34 GTR VS2. I have owned this car for the last 3 years and like most GTR owners, have barely driven it. I had big plans for this car when I first got it, but never got around to doing most of it as time and money constrained me I lost interest. Late last year it developed a couple of problems, outlined below:

1st problem: Originally thought this problem was turbo seals, but on further inspection it was low compression in 6th cylinder, compression test came out 150 150 150 150 150 35. I took the car to the mechanic in early November for him to diagnose and repair the issue, the issue was suspected as a burnt/chipped valve (as fuel vapor was being pushed out of the pod filters when throttle closes) and the plan was to get a camera and insert it into the 6th cylinder to check for scoring on the cylinder walls if the valve had completely dislodged, which would mean the block would have to be replaced. However almost 3 months later and he was unable to get a camera that would show enough detail, so because if the block was opened I would be forced to repair it before I could sell it, I decided I would simply sell the car "as is" to someone looking for a cheap vs2 they could build up easily. The car is currently drivable.

2nd problem: Airbag light flashing. I don't know why. The car has obviously never had a front ender, the airbags have never been deployed and there is no reason it should be flashing as far as I can tell.

What I have tried to fix the 2nd problem:

Manual reset through the door open/close button (didn't work)

Guy with Consult system try to reset (no idea if it was a Consult I or Cosult II) - from my understanding you need a Consult II for R34 GTR's post '00

Plug in standard ecu and connect laptop with "Conzult" (free 3rd party consult ripoff) through diagnostics port - software said it "couldn't connect to ecu" (as in the standard ecu - it didn't even get to try to read errors) which more than likely meant the software was junk.

What more than likely is required:

Trip to Nissan to have genuine Consult II system hooked up to diagnostic port and reset airbag ECU, which may or may not be possible with PowerFC installed, so borrowing a stock ecu may be required.

Other possibilities:

Airbag ECU needs replacing

Some fault in wiring somehwere (It's possible some wiring was partly damaged when headunit was installed, so problem didn't show up until later on but this is unlikely)

Faulty sensor somewhere

Fuse burnt out somewhere? (I have no idea if there is one for the airbag system or not)

haha JP! Can't believe you are selling the 34 gtr now. Should buy your old supra back man I test drove it, it went very good. Can't beat toyota's reliability bro :) Anyway good luck with sale :)

where were was this few months ago , would of bought it for sure , very nice car mate

quick question did you buy the car with the separator installed if not how much did it to get installed?

either way good luck with the sale! :thumbsup:

Thanks all for the strong interest in the car :)

Unfortunately I never really got to enjoy it, sitting in the garage, sitting at the workshop for mods or sitting in traffic in the few times I drove it around. So now it's time to get a nice runabout instead.

nice car ive seen it couple of times at paden shop =]

Thanks!

Cheers mate :) The seperator was already installed, but the hardest part of it seems to be the mounting, bit of creative bracketing and it should be fairly easily replicated!

this is good for someone wanting to do an rb28 stroker kit

good luck with the sale

Cheers mate, my thoughts & hopes exactly! Would love to see the car given the proper build treatment it deserves!

One point of relief for the new owner could be this:-

My previous R34 GTR also a VS2, had a airbag warning light that wouldn't go away despite the approaches you took.

I just needed to replace the airbag ECU under the centre console > Voila!

Make sure that the unit is the series 2 one; because the series 1 is different and the loom won't fit

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
