Hi All,

I've recently picked up an r34 GTR and have had a few minor issues (it's more annoying than anything).

The MFD screen intermittently displays some sort of error message in Japanese which I cannot understand and was wondering if anyone on this forum has come across the same issue in the past or know of what the issue is?

See the below photo of the message. It seems to just come up at random times but there is also a constant beep (pause) followed by another 2 beeps every 5 minutes without fail everytime I have the car running.

I should also mention that the car came with the factory sat nav upgrade which is virtually useless here in oz.

If anyone could help that would be much appreciated.

Cheers

No I don't think so. One minute if be running the gauges on the mfd and then all of a sudden the message pops up when I haven't pressed anything.

I highly suspect that it has something to do with the factory sat nav unit.

None of the buttons on my factory sat nav unit do anything when I press them so don't know whether that unit itself is buggered.

The beeping noise comes on as soon as I start the car and then every 5 mins thereafter. Have no idea whether the sound and the error message is related.

Thanks

Think what you want.

I can read all but one word.

You can assume what it is.

I would bet it is insert.

Anyway, whatever.

I don't care if you believe me or not I also don't care if you fix the problem.

Mate I wasn't having a dig at you or saying you weren't on the right track I was merely explaining the rest of the story so that I could try and see whether there was any link between the issues or whether they were completely unrelated.

Anyway appreciate your help.

Insert program boot disc is what it is saying. That unit cannot read its internal memory.

Quick fix, pull the plug on that unit.

Proper fix, convert to 2 DIN radio.

The mfd gauges are separate to the navi.

Shame you aren't in brissy. I would like a crack at fixing one of these.

Thanks all, much appreciated.

I've tried taking the disc out previously and nothing really changed.

Will definitely be switching over to double din in the future but have a few other things if like to do beforehand so will probably go down the route of unplugging the sat nav unit temporarily until I get around to the permanent fix.

Cheers

Regardless it's the initial interaction that will always give off the lasting stigma..have a look then PM me ohhh yeah... ;)

It's pretty hard to accurately gauge a person by what they wrote on a forum. No sarcasm, facial expressions etc...

Have a look then PM me? What?

Hey mate, never really ended up finding out what the actual cause of this was but I ended up just pulling out my factory sat nav unit and it stopped the issue.

Not sure whether you get the beeping noises at every 5 min interval? This went away as we'll for me as soon as I got rid of the sat nav. Strange you are getting the this issue without he sat nav? I think from what the guy have translated above, something related to an error loading the disc?

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
