My Car was originally a N/A Series 2 R34 (auto)

I was curious if anyone knew what temperature the warning lights for AT Oil Temp, and Engine Oil Temp actually illuminate at? I can't seem to find this information anywhere, even in the workshop manual. The workshop manual does mention the light comes on but only when the sensor detects variables which are everything except actual temperature.

Just curious before I bought gauges (which I will anyway) to see whether these can be relied on as actual warning lights, in a "It is time to immediately back off" kind of warning.

My google fu is clearly feeble.

I understand this, my car actually has it labelled as "AT Oil Temp" (thats the actual text of the lamp that lights up)

I also have an oil idiot light, as well as an oil pressure guage in the standard cluster with a LED on it from factory.. which lights up when oil pressure = 0 or extremly low - But there's also another one with the typical oil icon which doesnt appear when the pressure LED is on, but does appear when you turn the car on prior to starting it, etc.

Was mainly looking at the AT Oil Temp one if anyone knew, as the oil pressure gauge does a laymans job of telling me if the oil is hot or not just by going on how much pressure is there when it warms up... (20w-60 oil) and well water temp has the little needle which doesn't move until something is seriously wrong. Not overly worried about oil overheating as everything I've read seems to indicate oil and coolant tend to go into the 'too high' region at the same time.

I'd be getting proper gauges before any kind of track day, but curious through spirited driving through the hills what the AT oil temp actually is, because cooking a laptop to the transmission ECU to read it is rather cumbersome, and the AT Temp is apparently the first thing to get worried about. Was wondering mainly if the light comes on at 80C where it isn't 'that bad' a problem or whether it comes on at 150C or something in which case it's too late.

    • 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.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • 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
