any engine will knock, whether it is PFC or stock ECU........ i would worry too much about it, a friend's R34 did that as well and he never mention anything about being worried about it, but if in doubt get it checked out by your mechanic/dyno dude :rolleyes:

lol no, only a PFC will trigger the CEL for engine knock, the stock ECU will not display the CEL if there is any knock detected....would be great if it did :rolleyes:

If it was a brief flash 9/10 it's the O2 sensor, if it goes on an remains on, most likely coil packs..run the diagnostic to be sure.

Paper clips at the ready!!!!!

As the document says, turns the ignition to "on" short the two terminals indicated on the consult plug (clipped covertly on the underside of the dash near where your right knee lives), count the flashes, look up the code

diagnostic.docFetching info...

Thanks Dan lol

Hi all just to clarify... This happened to me today. The engine light turned on and stayed on after 10 minutes of driving. I didn't feel any change in the engine etc. car felt as usual no hesitation, shakes or missfires.

I pulled over waited a few seconds and restarted - engine light was off and never came back on.

I guess i'll have to drive the car more and observe if the issue comes back.

My car is an r34 non-turbo auto btw.

What is the consensus on this? Bung sensor or coilpacks about to give out or ecu glitch (if that even happens)???

Definately coil packs, fitted Splitfires and iridium plugs to mine today. My engine light had been on for a week and a half but like yours had not yet shown any signs of hesitation or missfiring yet. Just ran the engine, no engine light on and appears to be running much smoother and cleaner than before.

Splitfire coilpacks, part# SF-DIS-008, Brought them from CRD in NSW for $510 delivered, awsome service as they arrived a day and a half after payment.

NGK Iridium spark plugs BKR5EIX-11 $90

Also have NA R34 Good luck, Nath.

this happened to me, engine light came on and it dropped a cylinder, car would shake quite a bit, so i unplugged the coilpack plug, replug back in and the shaking went away.

pin pointed it down to the one SOB coilpack so i replaced that.

hopefully its fixed now as i only did it 2 days ago but so far so good, the light would come on intermittently, sometimes it would last a week without issues or maybe a day... but then in future if more packs let go, its time for splitfires.

My engine light came and and I got a service they hooked up the Nissan computer but they couldn't find the problem. I rang Power Road car sales where i bought my R34 Gt from and they identified the problem by just me explaining it over the phone.

I just got a new coil pack installed by them today, costing 240, (130 for the coil pack form Nissan) They also claim to have a machine that tells them which coil pack is playing up.The car runs smooth now, but my engine light is still on. I was told that the computer needs resetting, but I would have thought that the light would switch its self off once the problem is solved.

Does any one know how to reset computer or do i need to take the car to a specialist?

^ dc the battery, step on brake a few times to compeltely drain the power.. wait a few mins, connect battery back up & thats it.

but after u change the coilpack, u turn it off and then turn it back on and the engine light should go away.

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

      I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha.

      Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
