that looks awesome. I've got this little ass laptop from when i was a at school, Toshiba Portege, small as anything (cos everything is external) but would fit in the glovebox, so the Nissan Consult thing looks awesome...

Troy, as far as i know, car has never been jumped... oh wait, the compliancer did say they had to change the battery cos the original one was flat, so if they did that, that means someone would have had to discover the fact it was flat and maybe jump it at some stage. Why do you ask if it's been jumped?

and do Manuals have coil packs? all the coil pack stuff i've been reading at in regards to 34's seems to be with auto's???

i'll take the car out again tonight and see if it does it again.

Coz it could have the flat battery code stored in the ecu....GTR's are famous for losing there 4WD intermittetly coz of this code....and chinny coil packs are on all engines that dont have a distributor cap

ok, took the car out last night, and the got the f*cking lights come on again :)

i'll do a search for entering diagnostic mode soon, and get that going.

So is this Error 21 a coil pack relating thing?

it's nothing major as far as i know, and hasn't seemed to be a major problem for other ppl, but i don't know yet if it's the coil packs or what... (not that i know even what a coil pack is! :D) - all cars are going to have problems with them. You buy a wrx and you might lose the gear box and clutch. Overall, a R34, i think, is a very reliable choice if you find a good condition car.

I drove the car 900km's from Syd to Melb and it ran smooth as anything. I just don't having the car not being driven weeks at a time is doing it any good.

ok, how do i get into diagnostic mode???? i found this link...

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...t=diagnostic+34

for those who can't be bothered reading the thread, here's the explanation i found...

gaki.....the vehicle has an on board diagnosis function.....it is activated by earthing one of the wires in the diagnostic connector ....you will see a little door/panel that unclips from on the lower steering column trim....thats where it lives....i cant remember which wire it is but you just switch the ignition on and earth it momentary and it enters diag mode.........to check which one it is....just check for positive power and you know its not that one.....you cant harm anything from earthing something thats not live....anyway once it enters diag mode the lamp will start to flash....to exit just switch the ingition off

i know Troy you've explained it properly, but i have no idea how to do what you've described.... could someone possibly break it down for the dumb ass here :D

cheers.

Oh ok so it is the only problem you have had so far? How about others? I have had experience with Nissan coil packs before as I had my old 180sx since '98 ( i had to replace a few), but thats gone to a new home now. BTW the coilpacks sit on top of the spark plugs, which are located between the 2 cam covers under the cover that is there. Not so easy to see on a 34 due to the big NEO cover there but on R32/3's etc easy to see.

Omp: I've had no problems whatsoever in the 8 months I've had my car. Check engine has not come on once.

The traction control is good in the wet, but its not much use in the dry as it tends to be more of a hindrance to spirited driving than a help.

well i've JUST sorted out how i'm going move the bloody thing around.

Shannons will insure the car whilst it's not rego'd, which means i can get a temp rego and drive the car legally to your workshop, or whatever other workshop. So let me get that sorted, but i have a mate working at a workshop bout 10mins from my house, so i'm going to get him to do a diagnostic thing, see what the problem is and see if we can fix it.

Also, i'll go drive the car out to Dietmar's joint and see what he says about the spoiler holes, and if he's not going to do it properly, i can drive the car to your workshop.

i'll let you know how it goes.

f*cking shannon's.... :D

anyways, had a sneaky trip to the servo last night to put some petrol in the car (fuel light was coming on... at first i'm like, not another f*cking light!) - take it down, still get the TCS and check engine lights, only seems to happen once the car has warmed out too?? - but now a new twist... at idle it's dropping it's revs and almost stalling, but the computer will jump in and raise the revs a bit, but yeah, came VERY close to stall quite a few time on idle... does this indicate anything?

this morning it happened again, im with you mate, what the hell is going on!!! - TCS/SLIP and check engine came on after about 10mins of driving - for the past couple of days it hasn't come on at all. - i was thinking of taking it down to the local Nissan dealership but i doubt they would have clue so does anyone know of a japanese forum that i could post this question to?

i just don't like the idea of 'shorting out' something.....

When will we start seeing competent people over here (expecially out here in the country areas) that can service imports.

That by shorting it is connect two wires together that puts the ECU in diagnostic mode.

Anyway, it is up to you. I don't have this problem with my 34 anymore.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
