Ok its not a Virus but it is plauging a lot of owners here in Aus and yes I know it should be in the Maintanace post but so far no one has been able to come to any conclusion why its happening and it has been happening for a couple of years. Any way here we go. There have been numerous posts of people having the type of cold start problem where there car starts fine in cold start mode then all of a sudden retards the motor until it reaches a set temprature and then is fine, they all state that they have changed all there main sensors ie/: ecu temp, o2, also checked and swapped AFM. so my plea is that someone in Japan knows a Mechanic that can say yep know that problem, it is --------- any way any help would be a god send .

Ok probably not explaining to well. OK hop in car start it, runs fine let oil pump up, drive off still fine a minute into driving car retards (like putting you foot slighly on the break) coughs splutters a little start to run fine in this retarded state this all happens while cruising, no power here just soft gentle 2500rpm cruising. I have had an RB30 it never ever done this, ran beautiful/same cold and hot. the magic of EFI. I wont go into it here all I am asking if someone could talk to someone in Japan who may have come across this or have the knowlege on these engines.

I have that same problem.

it feels similar to a hesitation....the reason for it is the SMART omputer in the skyline which detects lean rich mixtures. You have to wait until the vehicle is almost at running temperature before the O2 sensor can send correct data to the computer ie. the O2 sensor has to effectively warm up in a way.

the reason your RB30 didn't do this is because it ran a slightly different computer.

There are two sollutions:

you could stand there with a lighter and heat it up.....ahaha

or you could just let the car warm up before you take off...now that would be a good idea.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
