Engine Warning Light

[Rucker34]

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

have you checked with your local mechanic?

Best to just get it checked out. Better to be safe than sorry

take it to nissan. thay should have one of those error reading things they hook up and it reads your errors

I've seen the same problem in mates r34. Best thing is to get it checked out by the mechanics. Although i heard that it could be a number of things depending on how long the light is on? Whether it is intermittent? how many flashes etc

did the car feel like it lost any power at all? do u have an aftermarket exhaust? if u do did the sound of the exhaust change????

possibly could be a coilpack as well, just depends, really cause the coilpacks are known to go in the 34's - i should know i lost 3 in 6 months!!!!!!!!!!!

but defintley get the ecu hooked up to find the error code.

im not sure what light comes on in skylines.....but often if your O2 is failing it will come on..... yer as they said...just take it to nissan....they plug it into their computer thing....and it will come up with a fault code....better not to take it to a private mechanic, coz they rnt goin to have the nissan program

thanks guys.

no have had no loss of power, and got a stock exhaust.

I called Nissan and they sed they cant help me because its an import and cant do anything about it.

so im going 2 take it 2 Sik Em Wrex on monday after work. Tim thinks its most prob nothing to serious

just a lose wire or a dicky sensor maybe (i bloody hope).
