hey guys i have a 98 R34 coupe with tiptronic auto. im having the usuall A/T light comin on n then being stuck in 3rd gear untill i switch the car off for a bit. the car has done 134,000km n has been doin it for about 4000kms off n on. i took the car to west coast automatics n had a new solenoid kit put in coz i was gettin error codes for the solenoids. they replaced shift solenoid a +b and the lock up solenoid n the line pressure solenoid as they came as a kit. 2 days later the A/T light came on and im stuck in 3rd again. this leads me to believe it either a fault with the auto ecu control unit, dodgy power supply or earth or the wiring. although it seems to b happening to alot of 98 model r34s with around the 140k mark so seems to be a wear issue or some sort. has anybony had this problem and actually pinpointed the cause and fixed the problem completely? i am going to check my earth leads and power supply leads and test the car then go from there and hopefully eliminate a few things off the list of possible causes.

its been a bit of a saga so far. the throttle position sensor was earthing out when the ambiant temp was hot which was triggering a/t mode. so i replaced that and it was ok for a while but its doin it again n the throttle position sensor if fine now so it has to be something else. the tcm still comes up with an error code for the turbine sensor although i hav replaced that sensor aswell. probably gonna get nissan to find the problem. they made the car so im sure they can figure out wats wrong with it. ive checked everything i possiblily can so either the tcm is screwed or theres a wiring fault. hav u checked what fault code its coming up with?

      Turn signal wiring question

      Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
