Of course it's a problem!

Try a search - this problem happens nearly every week.

It never fails to amaze me the negativity of some of the people in these forums. Its too much trouble to assist someone with an answer but its not too much trouble to send a DO A SEARCH post.

FYI I did a search and could find f**k all otherwise I wouldnt have posted at all .

Maybe Im not as computer orientated as others on the forum but as I said I did a search and found nothing to help me

I apologise for jumping on you, but it is a common question. I'll admit that the leaves a bit to be desired in its ability to home in on the key words.

But it never fails to amaze me that someone would question if a warning light indicated a problem. It's not so much a problem that you shouldn't drive the car (like an oil warning light), but it is an indication that the car won't behave as it is supposed to.

The usual answer is that you need to check the fluid level in the reservoir located in the rear RH corner of the boot (behind the side panel). Check the level with ignition "ON". But there may be some other cause that I have "no-eyed deer" how to diagnose and fix.

you can extract a code from the ecu by putting it in diagnostic mode.....you do this by earthing a wire on the diagnositic connector under the dash.....then the light will flash a certain amount of times....i put my money on a low voltage code....this is corrected by fitting a new battery......if you want to clear out the ecu memory,take the battery terminal off overnight

Funny you should say that because I recharged the battery about a week ago because it went flat because the car isnt a daily driver.

Most common problems have been covered above....if the 4wd light is on the ATESSA computer will be flashing the error code for you. Details of each error code are in the 32 gtr manual, not sure if they are identical on the 32.

Make sure the car is charging for one. Im sure if the car sits for weeks on end, without being started - it would only be a matter of time before a new battery get to the same level as your current battery.

Best thing I have seen to fix this is a 900milliamp trickle charger from k-mart, just leave it hooked up whilst your not running it. Will keep your battery happy and also will keep your alarm happy.

Oh for shame. GTR not the DD?

You must be busy Al as we haven't seen you about, and you haven't posted much.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
