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 =(

      Just as a thought, if it's in neutral, thats your drive line disconnect, not the clutch. Clutch slip at the dyno with pedal fully out, is actually adding a second disconnect. So it's not a clutch issue if you're in neutral. Just a bit of friction dragging the output around while in the air.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
