Hey guys was cruisin round the city in Brisbane tonight with some of the boys and was stopped at a set of lights.. Lights went green and i put my foot down to go and it jus prety much sat there looked down and my A/T light was on...

felt like the car was constantly stuck in top gear just had no power wud hav it flat to the floor trying to hit 50klm's...

car was in tiptronic mode at the time and the display showed it was in 1st gear and i shifted to second third fourth etc didnt make any difference jus kept at the same speed and revs wud not climb...

anyway got it to a servo in time took like 10mins for a 5min drive lol stopped the car... started her again the A/T light didnt go out straight away it sat there flashing a few times then went out... so i stopped it and started again the A/T light went out as per usual this time..

I told my mates to get out of the car and check for any fluids ther was no leaks or nething so i started her once again and yet again the light went out as per usual so i risked it and drove it down the road for a little test and it shifted perfect didnt miss a beat...

what do you reckon just a computer malfunction or should i be worried??

Car is 1998 R34 (auto) 4dr... done like 80 XXX klms only

i had this problem with mine to ages ago!! (r34 auto). If you run a diagnostic i think it should come up as one of your solenoids is faulty or something along those lines? I'm pretty sure you'll have to replace it :down: then you should be sweet!

solenoids help the car go into gear and will crunch if faulty or worn (could be the issue but the gearbox light wouldn't come up for this. Its suspect an electrical problem. When you have a auto car and you put a manual gearbox in, if you don't change the ECU to a manual ECU and get rid of the auto one the car will go into 'limp mode'. The car is sluggish and cannot get over 50km\h. Its defiantly an electrical problem that your car is having because it has gone into limp mode. have a diagnostics test run on it (it my have just been a short and wont happen again).......

defiantly needs a diagnostics test.

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.

      Blue slip

      By Stringycheese · Posted

      Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?

      Should have asked what is the car?

      Blue slip

      By PranK · Posted

      I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
