Hey guys my car died the other day on the highway just cruising at around 70mph. It lost engine power and and as soon as I pulled over I was unable to start the car again. The exhaust overheat light came on which I now know is the same as a check engine light. I towed it home and jumped the pins to reveal a code 21 ignition circuit. After replacing a blown electronic parts fuse I tried to start again with no luck. I jumped the pins again and now I'm getting fault code 34 engine knock sensor as well as code 21. I just ordered coil packs and figured that was the problem but just realized that 1 bad coil pack and the car would still start am I correct? Now I'm worried because of the knock sensor code. I couldn't find much info on the code 34. Does this mean the sensor is bad or detecting an actual engine knock? The car has new ignitor and new coil pack harness. I'm hoping new coil packs will remedy my problem but I'm now thinking it may be worse than that. I'm going to spin the CAS now to see if the injectors are clicking to make sure it's not the problem. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Wouldn't think knock sensor would stop you starting. Maybe try to figure out what made your fuse blow (has it blown again?).
Since I tried to start it it has not blown but I think I hit a bump in the road and then it happened I dont think the fuse is even related honestly because I think it was the fuse for my dash clock because after I replaced the fuse it was working again. Do you know if the knock sensor is bad or if that means the ecu is detecting engine knock. I'm just trying to rule out engine failure at this point because I'm a worrier. After removing the coils I see 2 of the leads are very loose and wobbling around. I hope maybe it's just coil packs. They are the original ones so I knew they would cause problems eventually. Let me know if you know about the code 34 if that means actuall knock or just a bad sensor.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
