Pull out the consult connect that is under the dash on the driver side of the steering column.

Look on the back of the connector and find 2 wires on their own in one corner.

Turn the car to (I think) accessory.

Get a paper clip and short out these 2 wires.

Watch the check engine light for flashes.

I think the first number of the code is long flashes and the second number is quick flashes.

5-5 means end of codes.

2-1 = flaaaaaaaash flaaaaaaash flash

if you get a 21, then it is something with your ignition. Most likely coilpack has died.

Ha, apparently all 34GTt does that, my mate's car does that every freaking time as well. Got PFC, tuned by Melb top tuner and still. Mind you nothing wrong with the performance, everytime it does that thing we just rev the shit out of it and it fix itself LOL.

Maybe should consider Slitfire system.

It will blow a bit of black smoke cos ' stock ECU trigger alarming so shit load of fuel goes through.

We now had PFC installed and the fcuking thing still happening, if it was really a coil pack then it'll goes to that safemode ( TCS and shits lights up ) for good, why it only come on once in a while?

i wouldn't be driving it mate the car felt pretty fcked and rough when it was happening. As for revving the car till it owrks i wouldn't be doing that either.

Id garage the car till you get it fixed.

but serioulsy when my car was doing the exact same thing it was just a coil i changed it and it worked fine!!!

You're talking out of your ass mate.

The car is over fueling because the coilpack isn't working.

Thus the sparkplug is not firing so the unburnt fuel goes out the exhaust.

It still happens with the PFC because the coilpack is dead.

If you don't know what you're talking about or are uncertain, please don't spread it around like it's factual.

Why does it only come up once in a while?

Because they get faulty when it's hot, run them like that long enough and the coilpack will not work even on cold starts.

i had a similar problem with mine except car was running fine, the check engine light came on intermittently and when i revved the car a little it would go away. Brought it in to my mech who had a consult machine and found out it was a faulty O2 sensor. replaced tht and fixed the problem. I believe tht would be West's problem as the O2 sensor on the 34 have been known to play up. But if your car is running like shit and misfiring etc........then I would suspect the coilpacks. Nevertheless bring it in to a mechanic...most mechanics have the scan tool nowadays...good luck!

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
