Hi All,

I am new to this forum and would greatly appreciate any help.

The Story...

About 3 weeks ago I bought an R34 GTT 2 door... finally... car seemed in good nick, I have done bout 1500km's since and is my daily driver.

Mods:

POD filter

cat back exhaust.

(As purchased)

Now the issue I started having was the engine light, TCS, and slip lights intermittently coming on, they would come on and go away on restart. Sometimes I wouldn't see them for days. After a search around the forums I put it down to coil packs as the car would have a very slight miss occasionally when the lights where on but apart from that it ran fine minus a little power. Now to the issue at hand, a couple of days go I went to the shops and spent about half an hour there, once I came back to the car it didn't want to start. It would crank about 3 times as usual but it was like it just barely wouldn't start if that makes sense. It would almost fire but just not enough. I let it sit for about 20 mins after cranking it a few times and hey presto... started like normal(the engine,TCS and slip lights stayed on for the drive but car seemed to drive normally). Got home and turned it off and started it again within a minute or two and no problems 3 cranks and off she went no engine light nothing. let it sit fir an hour or so and again no problem starting and no lights on the dash, so I went for a drive for about 45 mins or so and stopped to get some food, again car started no problem. This morning on a cold start as per normal no issues, drove half way to work and stopped to get a coffee(normal routine) came out and again car won't fire. So I let it sit for about 20 minutes and it started like normal...hmmmm... drove to work(engine,TCS and slip lights on) car drove fine. Went into work and opened up, came back out and started the car (no more than 2 minutes since the car was turned off) no problems. so at lunch I started the car again and let it idle for about ten minutes again no issues. Turned the car off and about 2 minutes after tried to start it and it didn't want to start again.... car now stuck at work :(

I'm a noob to R34's so any help would be appreciated. The car is in Kensington VIC if anyone can help it would be great because I don't have a car at the moment and unfortunately I do need a car.

Thanks in advance to anyone that helps.

Pete

Hi that was the first port if call i checked the main battery wiring and earths , all looks good as an uodate the car decided to start and run for a bit today then died and started again for a bit and died again. When it runs it runs perfectly as in I can put a cup of coffee on the motor and wouldnt spill a drop (smooth). Luckely I managed through a friend of a friend to have it scanned today while it was running and it came up with low voltage, ignition and cas faults. I have a new battery for it comming tomorrow as the current battery doesnt want to charge. Will see if that changes anything.

In the mean time if anyone would have a cas sensor to suit the rb25det neo that I could borrow to see if that fixes the issue before buying one I would realy appreciate it as my funds are low at the moment and I need to get the car going asap.

    • 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.
    • 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?
    • 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
