Hi all,

So I did a service on my R34 GT-R V-Spec (Oil, oil filter, front/rear diffs, gearbox, coolant & spark plugs) & fitted a Trust 13 row Oil Cooler with Re-locator. As I couldnt get the oil filter off (trying a few different types of universal oil filter wrenches) I ended up damaging it... now to cut a long story short I ended up taking the inlet manifold off & was then able to get it.

Now after all work was completed I had the car running to bleed the coolant and check for any leaks. At first I didnt have the rev issue, but as the car warmed up I noticed that I couldnt rev past 2,400RPM. Even when I go full throttle, It just missfires and doesnt go any higher. So I had a look around & noticed a slight leak from the oil cooler relocator plate...which ultimately led to some oil getting into the Ignition control module electrical connection. (If thats what it is called... I have attached an image for ref).

So I figured that maybe that was the problem, so I took the ignition control module off & sprayed it with some CRC Automotive Electrical Contact Cleaner (taking each individual pin out and spraying it), but that didnt solve the problem either :(

Would the AAC valve have something to do with it?

Cheers for any help guys!

(P.S - sorry for making it so long but just wanted to make sure we are on the same page)

Sounds like limp mode, possibly tps as you have been in there, or AFM's?

Sounds like AFM's

Well thats one problem solved! But I had the car running again and noticed there is still a little bit of oil leaking from 2 of the 4 earls' connections. It appears to be leaking from the 'skinnier' blue hex nut... in between the larger red/other blue one. I have attached a pic for reference.

How do I tighten this one?? :/

Thanks again for any help that you guys can give me. Legends!!

2 spanners

1 on the blue one, 1 on the red one, and twist both in their respective clock wise direction. (the will be away from each other)

So when you say the blue one, you mean the skinny one right?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
