That seems logical, as the car coasts fine whilst in neutral. To be absolutely certain, I will take it to be checked out, and tell you how it goes! Thanks for the insight.

Its actually funny that you mention that. I'm not exactly sure what a seized calliper entails however.. my front left wheel squeeks about twice per rotation WITHOUT any brakes applied, this may be the problem area, this could be some point of contact? Once i begin to brake the squeak dissapears (I assume its not a brake pad problem since squeeling you hear from the wheelswould occur WHILST braking, but this isn't the case for me) Other unique feelings I have when lightly pressing my brake say at 60km/h is a subtle back and forth motion, maybe indicating that the brakes are grabbing/letting go, grabbing/letting go (case of warped disc brakes?) Once I apply more pressure to the brake the pads come into complete contact with the disc and the feeling of braking is smooth. I have NO vibration in my steering wheel while braking, just to clarify. So I now might have two problems. Do any of these symptoms sound familiar?

I have owned my N/A R34 4 door for approximately 11 months now and in the past 1 month I have seen a significant change in how my car is running. I have noticed that when completely letting go of my accelerator on a flat road, the car begins to brake quite quickly without any coasting sensation you would expect. Even when going down a hill, (for those of you on the north shore in Sydney, the big dipper on the F3 near Mount Colah) I need to have my foot on the accelerator to keep it from dropping below 110km/h (whilst having momentum GOING DOWN A STEEP HILL) The only modifications which have been made over this time period (and or 2 months before noticing a problem) was the installation of a 2.5" catback exhaust, and replacement of coilpacks and spark plugs. It is obviously a very uncomfortable feeling and uneconomic when my foot needs to be left on the accelerator when otherwise, I could simply have the foot off and be coasting. In the meantime I have been shifting to neutral (I should have noted the transmission is tiptronic) to attempt to save fuel. The uncomfortable and annoying "self-braking-problem" seems to be due to the revs not dropping instantly when taking the foot off my accelerator, it will instead drop from whatever revs i was on to 2k slowly creep down from 2k - 1.1k and feel asif a great load is on the gear. When changing to neutral immediately after letting off the accelerator, the revs drop to ~1.1k, 1k and obviously not being in gear, I can coast comfortably. the only reason I am posting is because I know that my car was performing differently with the ability to simply coast, without going from 60km-40km in 2 seconds on flat road and momentum. I would REALLY appreciate any insight or help into what the problem may be! lack of backpressure to the engine? limp mode for some reason?

Spotted a dark blue v-spec r33 gtr on pacific highway between Asquith and Mt Colah. I was the N/A r34 chasing you down and giving you a wave from behind.

I've just recently encountered a similar problem with the M80 immobiliser. The range at which I could open my car (Since the remote serves as both arming/disarming the engine aswell as opening/locking the doors) significantly decreased over time, indicating a fade of battery life. Sure enough, it eventually stopped working however, luckily I was at home and I was able to get my spare remote. After reading this thread I was intruiged as to what "key" you are speaking about? Is it not simply a change of battery and away you go? I was simply given two remotes with a safety card and pin incase I ever cannot use the remote. Unfortunately I cannot send PM's yet (since I roam the forums and never post ) - Hoping someone can help

I've been a member on this forum for a few months and never really found a moment to post anything so I thought: what better place to start? I'm studying Electronic Engineering and am fascinated with how things work! Have spent many hours on the forums reading about people's projects and build ups inspiring stuff. I was lucky enough to buy my first car around 4 months ago. It is a 1998 r34 25GT tiptronic 4 door skyline! Not the most conventional skyline, I know. But I love it While I'm here, I might aswell ask for some opinions! Would you personally prefer a bootlid WITHOUT the chrome SKYLINE emblem (bare bootlid)... or WITH it? I currently have a bare bootlid and I think I'm leaning towards buying the emblem! Unfortunately it looks like the good thick large emblem (as opposed to the newer smaller and slimmer emblem on the 350gt's) is going to set me back a hefty $132!
