Hello everyone

I have a R34 GTT and It has those 3 light on

I just replaced the coil pack and spark plugs but still the same problem

The car does not accelerate normally, the engine sound ok at low rpms

Reading at some post...some people fixed with an new AFM

Does anyone here have an AFM I can borrow or buy?

Thanks

try cleaning the afm first as it might have a light film of oil over it from blow by from the PCV system

If you know its a faulty AFM there are a few people wrecking r34's in the private sale section otherwise go to skyline spares in wetheril park.. cheapest place for parts and a top bloke

Could also be the coilpack loom, or an off chance that it's a faulty coilpack or plug. Have heard of both.

Actually heard a similar story to this a while ago and it turned out to be a fautty new plug! Hope it's something simple mate.

When you floor it above 4.5k rpm what does the boost get to? I thought mine was normal till I found out 12 psi isn't normal lol. Should be round 7-8psi, or round 0.5 kg/cm^2 which I think is the unit on the gauge.

Would be surprised if the gap was the issue on the 0.8 gapped plugs.

I think it is getting better

Got an airflow cleaner from Repco

and I can drive the car now and it feel ok, Thanks David

But I still have 2 lights on TCS and SLP

I have disconnected the battery for 24 hours to reset the ECO (Does it work?)

after the 24 hours the lights still on

I have a boost controller and I havent figured it out yet..may need to take it to someone who knows and can show me how it work

The factory boost gauge doesnt work..can it be because of the boost controller..taking the reading?

Thanks everyone

If the lights are coming on after a reset then it's a new fault code. You can detect the fault codes using this

but I'm guessing it's the usual ones. You can also reset using that above, which is way easier than playing with the battery.

Are you sure everything was plugged back in after the plugs and coilpacks were changed?

The boost controller may be the cause of some of these problems. Did you install it yourself?

All the light are off

Thanks everyone...I think the problems was the AFM, after cleaning it and a proper reset...(Disconnected the battery and pressed the brake pedal)

Everything seen to be working

@Galois

The Boost controller came with the car..and no instruction manual ..I need to find out how to use it..

Thanks again to everyone for your opinions

i recently cleaned my afm inside and out with electrical cleaner and in the process cracked a few dry solder joins and had your same problems,

was stressing for a few days because i thought i toasted it with electrical cleaner some how then found that, like my boost gauge sender device, the joints were cracked.

i think its a common problem for these particular joints to crack and open circuit because ive seen alot of people with this problem on the forums.

resoldered them and all is well :)

sorry im a bit late to post :P

Yes.. I saw this link in how to fix it

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/113284-fixing-your-rb26-afms/page__hl__afm

I will try to fix it and if it works I will have a spare one for the future

    • Have you put an aftermarket oil pressure gauge on and verified your oil pressure?   Noise being on the block, on exhaust side, how high up the block does it seem to be? It could be the VCT system getting cranky, especially if it's mainly at idle, and when warm, as that'll be your lowest point for oil pressure. Could be showing that oil passages / VCT solenoid are blocking.
    • Well, hydraulic lifters will get noisy if they are dirty/fouled in some way, and exactly how that manifests will depend on exactly what schmutz is where. There is a procedure on here somewhere for dismantling and soaking/cleaning them. Replacing them with new is about 50% of the work and about 5% of the money!
    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy this is is a hydraulic lifter engine. Yea right i did not realise the lifters were supposed to be compressible while installed. I could push them down but i had to lean almost my while body weight on them.  I have never heard of a lifter/ lifters ticking only at hot idle and getting worse the hotter it gets. I have owned a few jdm cars with noisy lifters. This noise is slightly more subtle, it is more of a sharp gentle metalic tic than the solid and more loud tapping I've heard on lifters. I have used a metal rod, alloy tube, hose and stethoscope and could not find the source of the tick. But it appears to be loudest on the actual engine block behind the exhaust cam gear and next to the oil filter. I had mate (40 year old mechanic) go over it with me and he couldn't find it either..  Could it be a cam seal issue of some sort?  Cheers  
    • This seems problematic and unlikely at the same time. Vanilla RB2Xs have hydraulic lifters. They do have "zero" clearance, but only when running with oil pressure inside them. When not running, you should be able to compress them and obtain heaps of clearance. RB26s and Neos have solid lifters. They should have ~0.3mm and ~0.5mm on the inlet and exhaust respectively. If they have zero clearance then bad things are happening. With nothing else being wrong, it would mean that the valves would be held slightly (ever so slightly) open when they are supposed to be closed and it should have all sorts of problems when running, caused by leakage in/out through the valves. Or, zero clearance can indicate severe valve seat recession. None of it is good. Have you used a piece of hose as a stethoscope to try to localise the noise?
