Hi Guys,

Before u flame i did search and was unable to find solutions to my issue.

Ok well i have just purchased a S1 R33GTST and noticed the following...

It seems like something electrical is causing my rev tacho 'OEM' to jump around like crazy, hopefully this is an common issue and can be sorted without too much fuss, i bang the dash a lil and goes back to normal but i dont like beating my car ahaha.

Also can some1 hook me up in Perth area with some strut braces to suit?

Much thanks,

Smitherines..

Also, check my job on restoring the headlights :-)

Pretty stoked on the outcome.

I originally intended to keep the lights on the car but found 1 had water in it so i baked and re-sealed.

I have coated the lights in 3 x layers of UV protectant to avoid this happening again.

Yellowing = GAY

Yes it is the throttle sensor, my car runs like sht when im mucking around and forget to plug it in!

you will find some broken wires somewhere unless you have some ecu that dont need it (doubt it)

Also see a vac line missing, there important for proper turbo/inducion operation

Next job's to fix...

Rev tacho has finally stopped working totally, so i will remove in the morning and suss out.

The hi-cas light comes on now after about 10mins and stays lit, i have searched around and found that it could be due to the after market boss kit, if anyone has pointers for this help me out please. Tried the diagnose function but couldn't seem to get it in that mode??? help...

But after re-calibrating the TPS the car runs like a hot curry :banana:

Also i will say that it seems i have had no help from many on here which is a little of a let down :thumbsup:

Thanks mate, i found this vid the other day and tried to go into diagnosis mode but it didnt do it, i've tried like 10 times... i've just bought the car so i might have a look around n see if the is a there is a tomei hicas lock unit on the hicas unit...

Any reason why no1 is helping me out?

Regarding solder joints, i had the tacho out this morning and couldnt see where solder is used, did you have a rundown of this??

Thanks again.

Oh and i think i know maybe why its not going into diag mode, the after market steering wheel????

iirc you may need to get a hicas adapter / boss kit..

it took me a few tries but you have to turn it quickly to engage it.. but if you have done that it could be the steering wheel.. the above video the guy has an aftermarket steering wheel so it may be something else..

the tacho may be a wiring issue also

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
