My R34 Needs Help!


Recommended Posts

Hello guys,

Having a really big problem with my ride (R34 GT) and I dont know whats wrong. :pwned:

Everytime i step on it before it reaches 3000rpm its sounds like a WRX(brbrbrbrbr..) and car shakes a bit and very poor acceleration no go at all. sometimes when its on first gear its alright sometimes not but mostly when it comes to 2nd to 3rd its really bad. by the way my car is Auto tiptronic.

can anyone help me and tell me what the problem is?

at least i might have an idea when i go to the repair shop so they wont rip me off.

Can someone recommend me a good mechanic to have a look at my car and knows about skylines.

Oh btw Im in Brisbane

Thanks in advance!

could be a few things, but i've had this happened to me before. check your spark plugs, timing belt, intercooler pumping, transmission and even check your battery. it's hard to say, but obviously something is limiting its power and not allowing it to reach its potential. no a serious thing i don't think, but get it checked out by a mechanic that knows about sports cars not any mechanic as they will rip you off and the reality is, sometimes they might not even know what to do.

good luck mate.

Coils .. change to spit fires .. from what i heard wrx sounding skyline = one coil is gone and not lighting a clyinder

do you know roughly how much will it cost to change it? and where can i get it?

is there a cheaper alternative for spitfire? $600 is a lot for me atm >.<

Genuine Nissan ones are more from memory and don't even bother with 2nd hands as you will end up back where you started...Splitfires are the cheapest option pretty much.

Thank you for all the input guys! helps a lot!

please check ur spark plugs before going out and spending $600 on coil packs. it could be one dodgy plug. pull them out, clean them and check the gap using filler gauges (or is it feeler gauges???) if not plugs check conection on coils and also clean coil contacts (remove plug end and clean right down) remember electricity is like water it flow to easiest route first, so if bad contacts on coil.....u know whats going to happen.

    • The two diagrams are equivalent. The R32 one is just one sheet out of about 3 showing everything in the whole car all at once. And without knowing the functionality that occurs in the modules, they are both equally opaque.
    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
