hey everyone,,

my car was misfiring a bit recently,,,, so first thing i did today was run the ecu diagnostic,,

ran the engine for a few mins,, then ran the diagnostic,, and came up with error 17 & 46,,

thought it might have something to do with the car not being warm enough,, so i wamed up the car,,, but it still showed the same error,,,, while i was there, i ran the 02 sensor diagnostic,, that came out fine,,

wierd thing is,, last week i was only getting error 55,, i.e all good,, and now am getting 17 & 46,, and i can't find out what these mean,,,

car seems to be running fine,, i.e boosting,,,, had the plugs checked out few weeks back,, they r fine,, injectors are clean,,

anyone got any idea's?

, none,, except exhaust,,,

everything else is standard,,,

i also checked all the coils,, they all had about the same resistance,, can't remember how much it was,, but they were all the same,, so i figured it wouldn't be the coils,,,

i sprayed wd40 in all the connectors i could get to,, but still the error keeps coming up,,

its wierd,, coz the car seems to be running fine,, except for the misfire here and there,,,, but its the error codes thats got me baffled,,

hmmm,, my abs light isnt on,, fuse isn't blown either..

and still getting 17 & 46,,, just went and checked again to make sure,,

might try out my abs tomorrow to see if it makes any difference,,

ya,, its got me stumped,,,

How do you get into diagnostic mode to being up the error codes on the 34?

same way you do the other skyline,,, find the diagnostic plug,,,,

its under the driver's side dash... have a look underneath,, the dash,, alsmost inline with the accelerator pedal,,, (i think),,, there should be a small black cover,, take that out,, and on it will be attached a grey plug,, i used the paper clip method,, u get to diagnostic mode,, i'll try to take pics to show where the plug is,, but you should find it fairly easily,,

type in "paper clip ecu" in the search path, and i'm sure u'll come up with something,, if u get code 55, than all is fine with the ecu diagnostic

either way,, i still have the errors,, its so annoying,,, car is running perfectly,,,

thanks, i'm getting check engine light, slip and the TCS ;)

Which two sockets do I put the clip into?

Ed

have a read of this

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...=paper+clip+ecu

more for the r33,, but once u find the plug on the r34,, the process is the same,,

note,, diag shown for the plug pins is upside down in that thread,,

good luck

hey guys ....

done it to my R34 ...

code 55 .. :cheers:

.. i made a switch .. for it ...

dose it tell if there is somthin wrong with the coil packs ..???? help guys ... ( coz i have missfiring ... ) tel now i didnt know whats really wrong with the car ..

any body can list the code for R34 ... not sure if they r the same as the R32 ,R33

thanxx

Hi Afro

ylwgtr2 wasn't correct with his comment "bnr34 code 46 is an abs code,and theres no 17 listed."

If you have a R34 with a RB25DET (he might be using r33 data) code 17 means -

ABS-TCS control unit circuit

- Throttle control unit detects malfunction in the system (open throttle sensor harness etc.)

- TCS/ABS control unit detects malfunction

A 46 means -

Throttle Motor sensor signal circuit

- Throttle motor sensor input voltage is approx. 4.8V or greater (open circuit) or less than 0.3V (short circuit) for predetermined time.

So I'd say you have a throttle or electrical problem...

Hope that helps.

hmmm i would have to disagree with you on that one ian,and agree at the same time.....BNR34(GTR) code 46 Is definately an ABS code.....I understand that he has a ER34(GT-T) thats why i stated BNR and not ER....I posted the info as a guide as ER and BNR "may" be the same....Although i shouldve posted that part!!72 is the BNR 34 TPS code

Yep, I understood he had a ER34(GT-T) and for that car the codes are as I mentioned (it's the same car as I have:-). (44 on his car would be a coms problem with the ABS..)

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
