Hey all need some help with my R33! I have been sifting through threads on here for last week and haven't really came across anything definitive yet!

Problems; my speedo started stuffing up about 3 1/2 months ago fairlly common problem but cant seem to solve it- checked gearbox end; all is good checked cluster for solders/join/plug problems and cant figure it out? I realise I need to take it to a instrument repairer but as I am five hrs away from a city centre I havnt been able to as yet!

Next problem the battery 'Dry optima' has been going flat sparatically; it went about 11 weeks ago then about 3 weeks ago and then this week: have checked fuses and wiring for battery drain but cant find anything?? I did have an earthing problem just over 12 weeks ago that I solved some what with a new earthing cable!

Another Problem when I have been starting the car lately I have been getting a delayed response to the starter: ie I turn the key and it takes about 1 second to get a signal to crank- 'not sure what this has to do with problem'!

Another thing all of the times the battery has died and I have gotten bad delay in ignition I have left car outside at night for some period in fairlly cold weather- "Im also not sure if this has anything to do with problems"?

Major Problem- went to turn car over yesterday and wouldnt start: Battery was giving plenty of power to starter etc 'heard crank over' but it seemed as if there was no fuel or injectors werent firing? Fuel pump 'checked' working fine, all hoses were checked! Checked coil packs, checked spark plugs everything appears good!

1. Could this possibley have anything to do with Instrument cluster probs ( I dont think so)?

2. What should be my next step? I have booked an autoelectrician to come out- but as Im in a small town it has already been three days with no show, and im not convinced he is experienced in my type of vehicle!

3. Does It all sound like it could be earthing problems still? Im convinced that loosing charge, delays, and now the car not starting has something to do with faulty wiring somewhere!

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Dan

      Feedback on Carbonetics: R34 GTT cooling panel

      By IM-32-FK · Posted

      @DraftySquash @Duncan he's not talking about the part that sits against the radiator support, he’s talking about the lip that sits towards the front outside of the car. anyway I had a look at other cooling panels and came across this one https://justjap.com/products/carbing-radiator-cooling-panel-plate-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-t?variant=37829684134087&currency=AUD&utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Advanced feed&utm_content=Carbing Radiator Cooling Panel Plate fits Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T (Coupe)&srsltid=AfmBOoonzPDKqe9NgKi5U0AkFc2XvbXETGmNWvfNcyBT5DUZagMYHg9DZ70 if you take notice it’s the same shape.  well thankfully the justjap listing has a description and it says : - Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T Coupe (M/T -07/2000) this means it’s specifically for a s2. S2’s have different front bars to s1 so that lip with the 3 holes are *probably* mounting points for the s2 bar. im not 100% sure but im almost certain it will still fit a s1 bar

      Everyone is too used to learning from places like HPA "how to tune" and what to expect at what point, rather than being able to see "The computer says I'm in cell with Row = 8, column =4, and I can see my fuel is lean, so lets add more" Everyone wants "real units", which helps for someone picking it up for the first time and seeing how bad the tune is if they're not used to touching it.   However, I think for most of us who want to play with it, you're 100% right, we're only needing to learn about it for OUR CAR. Which makes it great, and we don't need to care what the real values are, we just need to know which cell it is, that's causing the lean or rich point, or that we want more ignition timing or less. But again, everyone wants everything super you beaut and nearly self tuning, with VE maps, and a billion compensations...   Though then there's me over here when I'm doing reverse engineering work just reading data in hex format that most people couldn't work anything out from. Yet I can see what's going on.
