I also have an R34 GTT. I've had it since just before chrissy and this has only happened to me twice since buying the car. I know that the slip and tcs lights were definately on, but can't remember if the malfunction one was lit up as well. I just kept driving and noticed that they switched off after 15 mins or so by themselves on both occassions... i didn't notice if the exhaust was sounding weird though...

I'd also like to know why this is, if anyone can shed some light on it???

I have exactly the same fault on my wifes R34GTT Tiptronic. It used to be once a month or so when it would play up and by turning the ignition off and then restarting it after ten seconds would clear it.........untill the next time. Now sometime it plays up on starting from cold and you can restart it ten times or more, before it will run cleanly without the lights coming on.

I have checked the fault codes with a consult and get "Ignition Signal - Primary"

Suspecting the Cam Angle Sensor, I swapped that for a known good one and..............it still plays up.

Any ideas?

Its the coilpacks guys, happens to every R34 that still runs the standard coilpacks. The thread starter mentioned it sounds funny from the exhaust......im guessing it sounds like a WRX? Reason for this is it has dropped a cylinder due to a coil not working.

My advice fork over for some splitfires and never have the problem again.

Well 6 new coil packs and it has run fine for the last two months, thanks for the advice :(

Wow, must be the coilpacks then... I have exactly the same issues with my R33 GTS-T ... if you read my thread you will find out that I have nearly exactly the same issues... I think I'm running standard coilpacks and hence this issue....

What brand do you recommend and how much?

No worries mate glad to help.

Spunkmonkey everyone here that replaces the factory coils uses Splitfires as I mentioned in an earlier post on this thread. Not sure what the price is on them but I know Nengun sell thm plus check the group buys.

Cheers

      AC Compressor

      You don't need an AC mechanic to fit it. You do need one to vac the system down and fill it. That's how you get refrigerant.

      Anti Squat Kit

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, it's actually probably worse than you think. I think you have to (minimally) install GKTech's spherical bush replacements to the lower arm's inner ends, because you absolutely cannot subject the original (or poly) bushes to that much misalignment. The better option being to replace the whole lower arm with GKTech's unit. This brings sphericals to the lower inners either way you do it. And are you aware that the kit is weld in and you have to take the subframe out of the car to get it fitted? It's a fair bit of work. These issues both drive my ongoing dithering about doing this to my car, for the last couple of years.

      AC Compressor

      The website said you need a AC technican to swap it in. Is that true? How did you fill the refridgerant? Was it easy to install?  If i just got the bracket and the new smaller AC compressor, would the other components be compatible with R134?

      Anti Squat Kit

      By ianp · Posted

      Hi All Finally getting back to work on the R32 this weekend and had a quick question about the GKTech anti squat kit (https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=39&_fid=eb6b5077e&_ss=c) So, this straightens out the rear LCA and increases the roll centre by 20MM which is great BUT I also have MFR roll centre adjusters (https://www.rhdjapan.com/moonface-super-lap-rc-joint-roll-center-adjuster-bnr32-ps13-rps13.html) which gives a +15MM lift. My question is whether they can/should be used together or if its going to massively effect the geometry? In my mind, I can't see that they work together but was hoping for some feedback on someone who has done this before deciding which to use or if both?   Thanks

      Rb25 into r31/wont idle

      Agreed. Thing has to be running absolutely pig rich as well. I would worry a lot less about your idle and start going through all your electrical before the car burns down.
