Yeah the back plastics on mine have plenty of cracks.

That's the reason it keeps coming back.

Tried to use silicone to seal up the cracks but it's not working.

I'll have another check this weekend and see what I can do before purchasing them.

Okay so the timeline starts again.

So after fixing the radiator, rolling the guards, getting the coilovers installed & putting on the rims.

It was here! NATS! WOOOO FARKEN HOOO KARNTS!

I hadn't slept in days because I was so excited.

Got myself a helmet and loaded up the car with some spares just in case.

I pulled up at the nats and found myself a little spot next to Mat Geeteetee and unloaded the car.

Met all my whores from whore town who I hadn't met in person.

Who knew Tailor Made was going to have such a homo haircut haha!

Got the car out on the track and had an amazing time! Didn't have any gauges so I took it fairly easily.

1-2 hot laps and then a cool down lap, this worked well for me and the car didn't give me any issues.

I walked away with a 1.26 which was an okay time for the first time ever tracking the car.

I participated in the track day and the airport drags.

The airport drags was the best fun I have ever had and I think I got like 10 runs or more.

My best time was a 14 seconds flat I do believe.

On the very last run I thought I would give it my all and spent a fair bit on the limited.

Got halfway down the track the battery light came on and the temps shot through the roof.

Popped the bonnet and coolant was everywhere.

After closer inspection I had shredded my fan belt.

Mat was kind enough to go pick me one up and help me change it on the side of the road.

Rob pulled over and had a chat while using his hazards to make sure we didn't get hit

This is where I would like to give a shout out to Rob for his amazing effort.

After getting home I found that we had driven off on Rob and he got back in his car and had a flat battery.

He spent a few hours on the side of the road waiting for the NRMA as we boosted off into the distance.

(Rob I still owe you that drink or 10 mate)

Big thanks to Matt, Carmon & Rob for helping out and keeping company.
I would have been stuck there without you guys.

Ohh and here is a model shot of Josh (Tailor Made) & myself inside the car.

So I cleaned my throttle body a few months ago.

Not thinking I actually cleaned off the sealant around the butterfly.

Could this be the cause of high idle?

How would people go about adding the sealant back and what would you use

I did the same thing and my car idles at 2000rpm now. Makes driving slow nice and easy as you don't have to accelerate.

The sealant is some special crap you have to buy if you really want to fix it. I'm pretty sure it's from tomei.

Source of your whistle?

could possibly be

This could be the reason that you only get it on a certain vacuum

Because it is in a certain position that causes the whistle.

Now just to find out what product I can use.

Some say gasket sealant but I don't want it to get sucked into my engine.

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
