R34 Gtr F/torque Not Working On Display

[K33P UP]

Hi guys,

Just curious if this is a common issue with the R34 GTR's, but the F/Torque is not showing anything on dash display... it just sits at 0 at all times....

I even done a skid to see if it kicks in after it looses traction but still no good, is there something i can check to see why this isnt working, possibly a broken wire harness? the car seems to be pretty tail happy so i wonder if there is any power going to the fronts at all hmm....

Check the boost sensor hose. Mine developed a split and started leaking.

Theres an MFD diagnostic you can do (search and you will find). It will tell you if a sensor is faulty first. Failing that, try and ECU diagnostic assuming its standard. The Nissan error codes are pretty good.

hey, thanks just wondering if it affected u in performance wise ?

i done the MFD diagnostic and it came up in the green, so I'm assuming the connection is working fine... which make me think there is an actual problem with the running gear?

As well as the vacuum hose running to it splitting, the MAP sensor used for the boost gauge on R34's is a known item to fail - typically with a dry joint (or three). There is a thread on how to repair the dry joint (crack open the sensor, heat it up with a soldering iron).

If the gauge is intermittent, rather than just always gone, I'd be putting my money on a dry joint rather than the vacuum hose.

The thread you'll probably want to read is: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...-F-t259107.html

However, there are a number with pictures, and information etc as it's a very common issue.

actually, for some strange reason i done the diagnostic test again and it started working... odd...

thanks heaps for your help guys!
