13*: engine coolant temp. sensor circuit. This is in the very front of the engine on the coolant hardpipes. It is usually blue or yellow. (http://www.z32photoguide.com/images/3sensorloc.jpg)

34: detonation sensor circuit. This is rather common code just google it and you will find many work around since its not the easiest thing to replace. Its also called a knock sensor. Check this out (code-34-detination-t489988.html)

51*: injector circuit. This means you have at least one failing injector and will need to replace it. Just remember when one goes the others will follow soon after. heres a thread on #51(ahhh-error-code-51-t479746.html)

Next time just search it is your best friend.

And most of all welcome to NICO.
