Hi guys,

I've got an R34 Tiptronic and Non Turbo.

I can only reach 3500 rpm before feeling the need to shift gear.

Any higher than that, it feels like it's struggling.

It's never reached up to 4000 even when the red line is 7000 or 6800.

Just want to confirm if that's normal for these cars? I've owned 2 R34's and both are the same.

Anyone know?

:thanks:

Feels like the engine wont be able to take it if I go any further.

Also, I have another revving problem..

2nd gear at 42km/h

3rd gear at 65km/h or sometimes 75km/h

watch the video.. what do you guys think? whats wrong with it?

Thanks

It does struggle above 4000 on neutral and also on any other gears.

The loss of power or hesitation only happens with 2nd gear(42kmh) and 3rd gear (65 or 75 kmh)

I haven't tested on auto yet.. Will see how it goes tomorrow

Oh yeah.. Another problem..

Sometimes it downshifts back to first gear after already getting to second gear(tiptronic)

I rev for a couple of secs in second gear and it downshifts and I'm back in first gear.

I'll be having everything checked together with my next minor service.

So I'm looking for anyone who has had these problems and any other ideas!

By the way, if you agree with someone, post a +1 for them and thanks for the above posts and ideas :thumbsup:

That sounds like transmission problems, friends skyline does the exact same thing, goes to 2nd, makes a revving noise as if its slipping, then wil either stay in 2nd or go back to first. Again this is not on tiptronic as hes tiptronic doesnt work.

Based on past experience with my brothers n/a r34 tip tronic, it ended up being somethign wrong with the fuel pressure/fuel lines. (either fuel pump, fuel filter, or blocked injectors). Basically the car wouldnt rev above 5000revs in tip tronic (and neutral), it would simply just struggle. I cant describe the sound in words, but ill give it a shot. Sounded like feathering the throttle in 2nd gear going 100ks per hour, even though the foot was to the floor. Anyways that being said, it was fixed by the mechanic, he did something fuel related, i have no clue what though. He also reset the ecu (unplug the battery).

Note: he also had tip tronic dash lights flashing etc....but it never ended up being his transmission. It could virtually be anything, so its hard to narrow down. R34s show weird lights for a reason which isnt even related to that particular component of the car.

Hopefully i helped ya man, sounds frustrating =(

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
