My r34 GTT auto transmission is slowly letting go, slipping every now and again, tiptronic deciding to not keep it in 1st / 2nd when flooring it, taking longer to shift so I’m going going flush it and replace the filter and hope it lasts a bit longer. I’ve got 10L of Penrite ATF FS at home and I’m going to use it for it unless ye completely recommend against it. Penrite list it as compatible. i understand I should be using Castro Transzmax however it’s quite expensive and I already have 10L of the ATF fs. Has anyone here used atf fs for there got or heard of anyone? Or am I silly for even considering anything other then Castrol Thanks for your advice

Im close with the people I bought it off and they reckon the fella they bought it off didn’t touch the ecu or didn’t revert it as it was a financial emergency sale. But as you said wont know till i know. Wonder if a simple tune is needed? If it’s on the stock the stock ecu tho im not sure how the map could have changed. ye not a bad idea w the leak just not really sure where to start in terms of diagnosing a leak. Been told by a few that it doesn’t sound like a leak that it sounds natural so I’m gonna hold onto the hope it’s a high flow 😂 side note not sure if you’d know or anyone that’s reading this but the fact my fuel cuts when I hit 180kph means that I 100% have a stock ecu right?

I bought an r34 gtt sedan maybe about 6 months ago now and its been a daily ever since. Its been a dream and I'm in love with the car but its got a couple off issues my main concern being its fuel consumption , I had previously owned an NA r34 sedan which got about 13.33L to 100kms and when i sold my na for my new turbo 34 which gets 19.50L to 100kms i thought it was a bit heavy but its turbo so what can I expect? but now after reading a few posts here it seems i should be getting at a minimum of 15L to 100kms out of a tank when im lucky to get 19L per 100km especially considering how stock it is and my fuel consumption is on par with 400kw rb's Only mod is a blitz return flow fmic which was installed prior to me purchasing the car and a decat. - Stock op6 , haven't pulled it off so haven't had a chance to see if there's any play or if its been high flowed I have replaced/changed all the easy stuff, spark plugs , oil change, fuel filter , new 02 sensor Not really sure where to go from here. The people I bought it off told me when they bought it it had a full exhaust system , screamer pipe , the fmic and a pod filter. My theory was that it was tuned and then when I put everything back to stock the ecu didn't know what to do as it would be alot more restrictive? But then I hit 180 and it cut my fuel which then makes me think its never been tuned and is still running the stock map? Its a stock head to as Ive done the rocker cover gaskets and there was absolutely nothing special there. Im thinking its either leaking or bad injectors or possibly something to do with the fmic as it could be taking in a lot more air? Any suggestions or ideas greatly appreciated On a side note my house mate who has a very similar dead stock 34 GTT’s turbo barely makes any whine or spool noise vs mine is loud as f**k compared. We put this down to the fact mines auto and his is manual. And when we went to a drag and raced side by side we were both neck and neck no difference in power at all

ah what a shame then. Guess ill keep my eye out and will just use the pod filter until I find a suitble replcement Theres an ex welder at my garage who offered to size up and cut a custom heat resistent sheet metal box sorta thing to keep it hidden. Im thinking if he can do that then I shoullllddd be ok depending on where air is let in through the front. IM not to sure tho Im also kind of considering running some pipping with pod filter from the intake manifold down to the bottom left of the bumper wheres theres an open bumper vent for clean fresh air however I havent had the car back in almost 2 weeks now and havent had a chance since thinking of this to go in and see if there would be room to fit a 3 inch pipe down through/around the ac and radiator area sorta thing What would you say about that ? Thanks for your help man

Hi, I recently crashed my r34 GT into a kurb then tree sadly. Ive done all the mechanical myself ( making it driveable for the panel shop ) and will be getting it back within the next week or 2 The bottom half of the air intake box was completely smahed up ( The MAF unit and everything above is undamaged ) I have purchased what I am hoping ( but am unsure ) are the right parts ( K-N universal pod filter + Maf unit adapter ) as to make the pod filter work so my whole intake is back up and running as a whole . As Im a 1st year apprentice mechanic with nissan so the knowledge isnt there just yet so any help is appreciated. https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Spare-Parts/Filters/Air-Filters/K%26N-UNIVERSAL-POD-FILTER/p/PE45411 - POD Filter https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Shop-our-Full-Ranges-by-Brand-|-Autobarn/TFI-Racing/TFI-Racing-Filter-Adaptor-Compatible-with-Nissan-Toyota---9096-/p/PE01742 - Adatper ( There was an r34 specific adapter on another site for the same price however they wanted to charge 60$ for shipping and I cant afford that with the body shop repair costs haha and it would be pretty easy to take back to autobarn if the adapter doesnt fit ) IN terms of performance and heat should I be worried or should I do anything else in order for everything to be back to how it was? Do i need to get a heat shield for the pod filter Do I need to get it tuned professionally ? I have a rb25de Thank you !
