Skyline R34 engine light

Hey everyone,

Recently on my skyline r34 non turbo 4 door my engine light as come on twice within a 1 week period and am unsure of its cause.

First the car is fine and then the engine light comes on (this is happened twice), no problems occur untill I stop at a set of lights and it starts to jitter back n four over 6 beats (this has only happened twice and I've stopped many other times with no jitters). I pull over and turn the engine off and wait a couple of seconds and then turn it back on and the engine light is gone. 

I believe it is just a ecu problem but I wanted to ask if anyone else had experienced this and how to fix it? 

Thank you for your time.

You can run a auto diagnostic on it via the consult port. You just need a paper clip. There's a write up somewhere on here that will tell you how to do it. Other option is to get a consult device to read the codes.

Quick little update; 

The car only seems to display the engine light 3 minutes ish after driving, after I turn the engine off and on it goes away for the rest of the trip (drive for an hour or so). 

It only seems to appear when the engine is cold.

Will be running a diagnostic in a couple of days to see whats happening. 

Thanks for your advice it will definitely come in handy :)

    • That would be interested if it's the case as seems like it would make the job a lot messier but subaru sells OEM gaskets so seems it might of had it.
    • Fuel tank is out. Looks pretty bloody good under (ie above) the fuel tank.  Amazing how good the factory e-coat holds up in the hidden areas.  No where near as much body deadener to get rid of as the front but still not looking forward to it!  Shit of a job.  I'm thinking I might grab a needle scaler and give that a go before I attack it with the angle grinder and wire wheel which is how I did the front 2/3's of the car.  Feels good to be working on the car again but who knows how long it will last!  Hopefully I can get it further forward than where it was prior to this last block of work when I decided to go back 10 steps further down the rabbit hole from where i already was! The problem is, I'm realising how hard it will be to repair and paint the bumpers, which cannot be put back on the car, and have a good paint match. There are also areas where it would be VERY hard to hide the new paint where it transitions from old paint. Like this- There is only one way to do that perfectly and I really dont want to have to do what that means I would have to do... 🤦‍♂️
    • Pretty sure the factory assembly doesn't have any gasket at all, just RTV.
    • I will get a couple cans for sure thanks, I do have 2lt fish oil to spray around the car already.
    • Thought I’d post pics of the packages for those interested. The premium package is #16. Remote start, security with tilt sensor and remote and backup battery, auto fold mirrors and door illumination.    Can post up pics of all the factory options and images from the factory options brochure if people are interested. I have all the dealer books etc for all rv37 models.
