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!

Well guess what, today and now that i remember most of other days as well on me mate R34, that stupid thing HAPPENED when the car is COLD so tell me, when the car is cold, the coil pack is HOT? :lol: :lol:

Well thanks all for the help, i got a replacement coil pack on thursday ( thanks ed ) and have been driving the car alot since then and no signs of any trouble at all, so fingers crossed the rest of the coil packs can hold out till i can get some splitfires cheers

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
