Hi All,

Up for sale is my 2001 R34 GTR VS2. I have owned this car for the last 3 years and like most GTR owners, have barely driven it. I had big plans for this car when I first got it, but never got around to doing most of it as time and money constrained me I lost interest. Late last year it developed a couple of problems, outlined below:

1st problem: Originally thought this problem was turbo seals, but on further inspection it was low compression in 6th cylinder, compression test came out 150 150 150 150 150 35. I took the car to the mechanic in early November for him to diagnose and repair the issue, the issue was suspected as a burnt/chipped valve (as fuel vapor was being pushed out of the pod filters when throttle closes) and the plan was to get a camera and insert it into the 6th cylinder to check for scoring on the cylinder walls if the valve had completely dislodged, which would mean the block would have to be replaced. However almost 3 months later and he was unable to get a camera that would show enough detail, so because if the block was opened I would be forced to repair it before I could sell it, I decided I would simply sell the car "as is" to someone looking for a cheap vs2 they could build up easily. The car is currently drivable.

2nd problem: Airbag light flashing. I don't know why. The car has obviously never had a front ender, the airbags have never been deployed and there is no reason it should be flashing as far as I can tell.

What I have tried to fix the 2nd problem:

Manual reset through the door open/close button (didn't work)

Guy with Consult system try to reset (no idea if it was a Consult I or Cosult II) - from my understanding you need a Consult II for R34 GTR's post '00

Plug in standard ecu and connect laptop with "Conzult" (free 3rd party consult ripoff) through diagnostics port - software said it "couldn't connect to ecu" (as in the standard ecu - it didn't even get to try to read errors) which more than likely meant the software was junk.

What more than likely is required:

Trip to Nissan to have genuine Consult II system hooked up to diagnostic port and reset airbag ECU, which may or may not be possible with PowerFC installed, so borrowing a stock ecu may be required.

Other possibilities:

Airbag ECU needs replacing

Some fault in wiring somehwere (It's possible some wiring was partly damaged when headunit was installed, so problem didn't show up until later on but this is unlikely)

Faulty sensor somewhere

Fuse burnt out somewhere? (I have no idea if there is one for the airbag system or not)

haha JP! Can't believe you are selling the 34 gtr now. Should buy your old supra back man I test drove it, it went very good. Can't beat toyota's reliability bro :) Anyway good luck with sale :)

where were was this few months ago , would of bought it for sure , very nice car mate

quick question did you buy the car with the separator installed if not how much did it to get installed?

either way good luck with the sale! :thumbsup:

Thanks all for the strong interest in the car :)

Unfortunately I never really got to enjoy it, sitting in the garage, sitting at the workshop for mods or sitting in traffic in the few times I drove it around. So now it's time to get a nice runabout instead.

nice car ive seen it couple of times at paden shop =]

Thanks!

Cheers mate :) The seperator was already installed, but the hardest part of it seems to be the mounting, bit of creative bracketing and it should be fairly easily replicated!

this is good for someone wanting to do an rb28 stroker kit

good luck with the sale

Cheers mate, my thoughts & hopes exactly! Would love to see the car given the proper build treatment it deserves!

One point of relief for the new owner could be this:-

My previous R34 GTR also a VS2, had a airbag warning light that wouldn't go away despite the approaches you took.

I just needed to replace the airbag ECU under the centre console > Voila!

Make sure that the unit is the series 2 one; because the series 1 is different and the loom won't fit

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
