Hello, first time forum poster.

I have a R34 25GT Neo.
It's tiptronic.

A few days ago my car wouldn't shift out of third. It would just continue running in it and sound like a dying cow. the A/T light is on and flashes about 13 times. This happened for the last 3 days. Even if i switched it to tip and drove, it would still stick to 3rd.

But today I turned it on went to gym, I got back in it in an a hour or so and started driving again. The car drove in all the gears, fine. Then the A/T light came one and it just drove on 3rd. It's weird because everytime i shut it of and then on and drive it works fine on all gears for a little while and then goes and sticks to 3rd .

I switched it to tip and drove, it would work fine.. but after a while just go back to third. and I'd have restart to get it to run on all gears again.

I was able to thrash it as well, and it shifted smoothly..

some advice would be nice because i dont think it is a mechanical problem.

can someone also let me know what type of transmission fluid to get.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
