also wen you turn on the reds there is a seperate red A/T oil temp light but the one that is always coming on is same amber colour as the check engine light.

when i used to start up mine the check engine light would come on and my car would shake badly and other times it would be fine then after a little bit the light would come back on but still seem ok. it ended up being the coilpacks i bought some splitfire ones and its all good now.

99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999% it's the coil packs.

Upgrade to Splitfires (check the Trader sections here for people selling them for very good prices)

VERY, VERY common problem on R34's for the coil-packs to go. Thankfully though, it's an easy fix

Does it only happen when the car warms up?

Could be your car going into limp mode if your afm is playing up.

I just changed one on a mates R33. Was fine when car was cold but as soon as the computer had allowed time for the element in the afm get to temp, if it isnt getting any reading or an incorrect one from the afm, it would go into limp mode. It shuddered and carried on. It also put out a fair bit of smoke.

If you can get someone with the same afm to come round just try theres on your car. They have a coloured sticker on them, just make sure they are the same colour. Theres a pink one and another colour.

My mate who was having the problem had a R33 had a pink sticker afm, we put my mates afm from his R34 GTT in it and the car went fine.

He got a replacement form Just Jap.

its afm - air flow meter. Follow the airbox (where the air filter is), its the first thing bolted to it with a plug attached to it. You'll see a nice fine wire running accross the diameter.

r&r will retard ign and richen mixtures. It'll run like a dog, blow lots of smoke, have little power, and not let u above a certain rpm

If it is the coilpacks, u can fix this easy if you have an a/m ecu by increasing the time they fire for. You could also try reducing the spark plug gap to 0.8mm

ild take it to nissan and get it onto consult

    • Coming home late at night and driving past the police is the only reason i need one haha And yeh, definitley needs a switch to quickly enable it, dont have time to be getting my phone, opening an app, waiting for it to update etc before being able to make the change
    • Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?
    • Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example. 
    • I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary   
    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
