3 weeks ago the car looses complete power (twice). After a little rest, it started back up again. The first time I was doing 120km/hr and the 2nd 60. After that didnt happen again until...

Yesterday, heading from sydney to canberra the same thing happened. This time it didnt start back up. Trying to start the car up again, the battery drains dead.

Had to get towed back to canberra from mittagong.

NRMA guy said it may be the fuel pump, but was not sure. Does this sound like the problem. Would I have damaged the engine in any way?

(on the bright side.... on the way to sydney, had a great time with a Merc compressor. Doesnt have the accelration like the r33, but got me at the top end. I hit 180 limiter and he kept on going).

You should be able to hear the fuel pump (not) working, so that makes it a bit of a no-brainer.

Possibility is the ignitor module (back of the engine on the rocker cover) - they pack up when they get hot - although you'd expect it to cause trouble more often than you've reported.

Best way and this works every time. Recharge battery and drive around until car plays up again. if it doesn start get a block of wood and hit underneath the tank and the acr should start. This will tell you straight away if it is the pump. The jolt along should start the pump again. usualy pumps start to die slowly and intermittently.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
