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

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

    • Only thing I'd add...is on recommendation from a good diff shop, I've used mineral oil in my diff including the race car for years. The synthetics can be too slippery and glaze the gears
    • 75W90 GL5 is fine. If you aren't sure about the type get one with LSD additive. 
    • Because you're effectively rushing the shift and forcing it to go in - with greater leverage against parts that don't _want_ to go together. Short shift = forcing the gear in harder. Also Redline Heavy Shockproof actively says not to use it in anything with Synchros. Well, it says "not recommended" which is basically as far as anyone will ever say in a product statement to "Do not use" Generally the Redline makes the gearbox feel great... until it fails faster. https://www.redlineoil.com/heavy-shockproof
    • 99.9% of them are viscous diffs. The 0.01% are helicals. They were only option-able in the series 2, as well. I have redline heavy shockproof in my helical. It seems... fine? I don't think anyone is ever going to know until something really breaks and at that point I'm not sure anyone will blame the oil. I just chose it because it's extremely heavy duty and my car will see not-road-legal duty for it. I've also had sadness with various diff oils in the past sweating out everywhere and/or other 'fun' things, with clutch diffs. Given you have a 1.5 way on the shelf, I'd not even bother with the diff in the car and just get to tinkering with it. I would spend the $90 on oil toward the labor of someone else putting the diff in if time poor even lol.
    • I believe mine is helical and not clutch type. During drifting one wheel was spining as if it was open diff so bought kazz 1.5 way and has sat on my shelf for the past 5 years as I want to learn shiming process and do it myself   in meantime thought I change the diff oil hence post here. So any 75-90?   i am pretty sure r34 are helical not clutch lsd as standard . That is gtt ones
