do you want to make sure the car cannot be started at all, or do you just not want someone thrashing it?

because i think i read somewhere that you can set the pfc to a certain setting then disconnect the hand controller, and the car will shut down if revs reach over 3k.

i'll see if i can find it.

You will find that after that amount of time the PFC will drain of all residual memory and you will be left with any base mode that it came with.

You are better off removing the coil ignitor or something like that. If someone really wanted to start your car, it would not be hard to get a battery into it. With the ignitor, I don't know of anyone who just carries one around with them so the chances of anyone stealing it or driving it are virtually nil.

Have you experienced this? Manual states that memory of PFC settings is not effected by battery power, or lack of it.

I'd recommend having your car started for you every week atleast. If you can find someone trust-worthy then you might want them to roll it up and down the street so the tyres don't deteriorate (if that happens?).

My car is awaiting engineering and un-reg'd but I still run the engine and roll it around the driveway.

Yeah I had a friend that read the same manual. He disconnected the battery when he went to Japan for 6 months. Lost his tune when he cam back. We dunno why.

There are still more effective ways to prevent people from driving your car like I suggested above. This would be a far better option than disconnecting the battery. Also with the tyre thing. Pump all your tyres to 50 psi before you leave and you will not have that problem. My car sat for 8 months and the tyres are still perfect.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Rusty roof repair

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
