RB25DETT r34 gTT auto cruising along at 100km/h

take foot of accelerator and engine revs down to idle 800-1100r/min

apply the accelerator and car revs upto 3k before any power is produced 
 

this happens for about 5min a day interminable but most days 

I have pulled over turned the engine off and on then it鈥檚 fine 
 

Anyone  experience this before? 
what was the problem?

Torque convertor is not locking up. Check your ATF level and condition. If level and condition good, Torque convertor probably cactus. If ATF is low or dark and dirty, get it serviced, punch self in face.

Two months ago I asked them to check that said it鈥檚 fine when I got a new timing belt and water pump 

You don't need a mechanic to check the colour/quality of the ATF or to check the level. Do those things first.

As previously suggested.Last chance check lock up solenoid is working. Have codes read,the TCU will store a lock up solenoid fault code.

Wow look at these bitches if I wanted to see mean girls I would put on Netflix 

 

after reading everyone鈥檚 response it saddens me  that this community isn鈥檛 for me 

I was looking for enthusiastic group that is looking out for members, being said there aren鈥檛 too many Trusting mechanics That are worthy of touching a skyline 

being ripped off or troubleshooting in the wrong direction wastes time and money, that in my experience most mechanics thrive on especially in this economic situation, the only reassurance that one may get is maybe a forum of likeminded people do steer you in the right direction, how wrong I was

And by the way bro, all of the responses have actually been helpful , you pretty much ignored them just chasing the answer you are after, which I assume is that it is an easy fix that you can do. You can't fix it.

Heu man have you true turning it off and on?

Yes?

that fixed it?

well keep doing that. Problem solved.

 

Literally what I did with my R31 when it was auto.

The fluid was old, would lock into 2nd (limp home mode).

Was scared it was solenoids, but luckily fluid change fixed it.

Permanent fix: manual conversion.

Told you what to check, then you chuck a hissy fit. WTF.

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 馃槷 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
