Hi guys need some help. my engine warning light was on for about five minutes today and it has me really worried.

I have a 1998 R34 GTT it has done about 98 and a half thousand k's and have had no trouble with it what so ever.

from what i can tell all the oils and coolants are at max and it never heats up over half way.

Runs great and cant work out what would cause it to com on. has me a bit worried because i just had the valve body

Sent off to mv automatics and had a new shift kit done which im really happy with. Only thing is a couple of days after i got

it done i realised the engine light was on for a little while longer than it should be. do you think it has done something

to my motor? i was also thinking maybe it has some thing to do with the fact that im almost at 100,000 k's i know some cars

are programmed 2 have the light on 2 remind you to get a service.

any help would be really, really appreciated

lee.

hey guys,

my engine light comes on once (i think when i hit the break pedal) almost every time i drive. Only comes on for about 3 seconds than turns off. How do i check what 'error code' it is?

I'm thinking o2 sensor so will buy one and replace it just incase.

- Anyone know where to buy one on the gold coast?

Any other ideas?

BTW my car is 98 34 gt-t

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that ne side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D

      Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.

      I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.

      Don't assume the AC relay signal from the ECU is +, some models including Stagea use an earth trigger.

      Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
