Gearbox Missing?

Hey guys, in the last few days i just got back my R34 back after it being converted into a manual.

Yesterday i took it for a drive and i noticed a slight note change in my exhaust and it started "putting" and the only way i can logically explain the sound is the car started to sound like a Subaru engine?? You kno the classic Rex sound??

I looked straight down and a light with a picture of my gearbox was illuminated... turned the car off checked all clutch fluids etc nothing was wrong turned her back on and it went fine agian..

today i woke up took her for a drive about 15 min away... first time i got into 3rd gear the car started putting and making the sound like a Rex again and the light came on... The light stayed on but every now and then the car would slip from the putting noise to a normal nexhaust note then i would drive say a few min up the road and it would start putting and the car would sound like a wrx again... so forth so forth.. not that i dont mind the wrx note.. the car jus goes a bit sluggish aswell loses a bit of power :)

just wondering what your takings are on this?? could it be that the gearbox has a slight miss... or what would cause the breaking down??

Are you sure it's a picture of your gearbox and not the engine check light?

Engine check light is orange in colour and looks like an engine with fan on front.

There are no such lights that look like gearboxes. If it used to be an Auto, there will be an A/T light but that's about it.

Retrieve the error codes and it should tell you the fault.

I would say the problem will be ignition circuit

oh okay yeah the check engine light came on sorry about that guys..

i know that while it was at the shops... they did a compression test and he said it tested at 160 across the board even... but tahts all i know other than the gearbox taht they touchedd and it wasnt doing it before i took it to them...

and yeah the A/T light stays on all the time coz i just used the auto ecu when converting it to a manual...

      I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
