Now everything it out back together the car runs but the PROBLEM OF THE LIMP MODE IS STILL THERE !! I can't even rev pass 2000rpm, even when parked! Something must be playing up and I'm thinking it's the AIR FLOW METER. Ever since I changed the Pod Filter the problem started, but the thing is I changed it back to normal but it's still limping, I can't even hit 60Kms on the road :0

When my MAF was bad the car wouldn't rev past 3000rpm, it made my car run rich and when I changed the MAF it did not run right as the plugs were fouled. Thoguht I would share that. Pull the MAF sensor plug while the car is running, should make a difference on AFR's, idle speed etc.

Haha dam but did the problem happen as soon as you start the car up ?? And I'm thinking of buying a New AFM and replacing it. I've tried spraying it down with electrical and contact cleaner but nope seems the same when i take it for a drive. 

1.It would drive Fine past 60kms till it gets a little warmer or after 3mins and then BAM it just won't let me rev past 2000rpm and i'll be limping the car home on 40kms LOL ! 

2.Then turn off the car, and turn back my ignition on and i got my A/T light flashing :O !  after about 10mins, I start the car up and its back to Normal
 

Then repeat 1.

Weird problem, it could be the AFM because it previously had a BLITZ POD filter and i swapped it for a bigger K&N POD filter. After I changed it that night i went out for a quick drive and climbed to 100Kms safely while going hard and after a RED light ( car was idling fine ), when i accelerated it wouldn't let my Rev go past 2000RPM, i thought at that moment my car just died on the spot !

 

After that went home changed New Spark Plugs and Coil Packs cause I thought that was the problem but NOPEE. Still happening ):

So I got a scanner and got what says : A/T CVT Fault & ABS/VDC Fault, I believe it's the AT because my transmission is jerky and pretty clunking and it puts the car in Limp mode so it doesn't damage the car from what I heard. Any thoughts ??

Car starts up now, sounds perfectly fine but at occasions after 10mins of driving when on idle or when driving the rpm drops slightly and starts to shudder like the car is about to die and the rpm goes back to normal sitting at 1000rpm. any thoughts ??
CHANGED : Spark plugs, Coils, New AFM, Fuel Filter. No visible vacuum leak, cooler hose or tight with clamps. I'm lost :(

Took it to the mechanics and there clueless, went to 3 different places. They got the same code but are clueless why it's having trouble starting. Have to push the pedal in every morning start up. Am randomly car struggles with revs then shuts down when at a red light. Car idles perfectly at 1000 when warmed up no hesitation or shaking only until when it's warm up it will randomly just drop revs like it's about to die on me

Went mechanic today, turns out my transmission hose was bent too much and stopped the fluid from going through so he replaced it, and did a clean on the idler valve. Car has been running beautifully, no stall or any random vibration, that's probably why the A/T fault was on the OBD2 scanner. Brilliant.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • 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?
