Hey guys, first time posting here.

I've had my m35 stagea for about 6 months now (250t rs our) and i absolutely love this car. ever since about the start of last month it decided to enter limp mode on me. since than i have replaced a lot of parts. Started with plugs and coils and that fixed it for about a week, then i moved onto cleaning the intercooler piping and tb, same thing happened as it was fine for about a week then started going into limp mode again. then replaced the throttle body, maf and accel pedal position sensor and did all the relearn procedures. car ran good for almost 2 weeks! and well this morning on my way to my morning college class it wouldnt even leave my driveway without entering limp mode. I'm honestly at a loss with this car and not sure where to go next with it

Can anyone think of anything else to diagnose? i dont have a scanner of my own to check the dtc's when it enters limp mode but im working on getting one.

to clarify, my stagea is a 2001 with 124000km on it. always maintained properly in my ownership as well.

I had the same problem just recently, going into limp mode  with an nm35 2003 model but is was limping  once a week or 3 times a day .( 149,000k)

There was no perceived pattern.

The mechanic swapped two relays around . one relay was the lights and unfortunately  I can't recall what the other was . PM me if you haven't resolved the problem then  I will visit him Wednesday  for you, as I don't come onto the forum very often. Obviously the relays were interchangeable if that helps.

He mentioned that perhaps there was some moisture or a poor contact. sorry I can't be more useful

Previously when this happened  a few years back, a throttle body was replaced but you have done that already

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      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

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
