Hi everyone,

Tonight driving I would pull up at the lights clutch in, shift to nuteral and the revs would stay at 1300 (ish) and never drop to the normal idle point of 700 or 800. SO driving at around 80km/h in 5th, coming to a red light shift into 4th works fine, shift into 3rd works fine and shft in nuteral idle drops to 1300 and stays there until i take off. This happens and doesn't fix itself. So I get to the servo eventually and pull up. go into nuteral, handbrake on. the second i do that the revs go from 1300 to 700 and i get perfect idle. i turn my lights off and the apexi auto timer lights up with the a/f ratio correctly and it actually starts showing it, norally it just says --- and flashes red/green. i saw it go between 17.8, upto 18.1 and upto 20 and down to 17.xx and back up agian, so it seemed to read it fine and correctly, light would go green for a while, then red, and back to green. Until i turned the car off to get fuel.

Refuel and turn back on and the idle problem is gone and the auto timer doesnt show the af again, it hasnt showed the af for a about 9 months now, last time it did work like this it just "worked" by itself then vanished again when the power to the car was turned off. I havent adjusted any wiring or anything so im really confused

Has anyone seen wierd stuff like that before? I dont know if theres something about to die or its just the ecu being wierd. Never seen the idle problem before. Car has just passed 100,000ks and the timing belt was done at 94000

Any ideas would be great - Im getting a consult serial cable this week so Ill check ecu errors and stuff but any ideas would be cool as a start

The problem occured again the other night (revs high, but no a/f ratio on the apexi timer). The revs would just stay at 1100 no matter what. I even tried to make the engine stall by coming up to a stop in 5th and just letting it go until it got to like 500rpm then clutch in, instant 1100rpm. if i turn aircon on 1400 odd and off again 1100. sometimes if i turn the series 2 spotlights off the idle would got back to 800 odd but not always only sometimes it would drop from 1100 to 800

i reset the ecu tonight and idle seems perfect at 720

Anyone else seen this wierd problems?

oh, and the 15.2 isnt voltage, its AF ratio, or 15.2:1. Stoich is around 14.5, under boost will be from 11:1 (or less if stock) to around 12:1

During cruise, the car should run a bit lean (>14.5) as this is how it improves economy. But note, if your O2 sensor is old, it may well be giving false readings.

Oh, and the O2 sensor voltage is in range between 0.0 to 1.0V.

not sure what the tps is currently, im getting a consult cable hopefully next week so will be able to post back then. The 15.2 is voltage from the apexi timer. the a/f is always --- and never works, its only ever worked twice. The o2 sensor is about 3 months old and i can see its values, goes from 0.00 to 0.20 odd and floats around there

yeah im not sure where the voltage comes from but it sits near 15.2 and is green

i noticed today i had my keys in the iginition cos i was packing shit in the car and didnt want the doors to keep relocking by them selves so i had it on ACC and the auto timer was displaying a/f ration as "---" like it always friggin does

after about 10 minutes it decides to show the a/f ratio, ffs!!!!!!!!!!!

so i start the car, voltage goes to 15 again and no a/f anymore

is the battery making stuff angry?

If it is 15+ volts that is way to high, sounds like a faulty voltage regulator on your alternator. If you have or can get a multimeter put it across your battery and see what your voltage is with can running and not. should be around 14V running depending what is on and 12V when not running. If it is 15V it could freak out a bunch of things.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
