sometimes the TCC, SLIP, and engine symbols come on...

does any other gtt out there have the same problem???

i was thinking about taking the lights our for the symbols....

How do you know nothing is wrong with the car...that's what the warning symbols do..warn you!

Do a diagnostic check by pulling out the consult plug under the right hand side change pocket thingo. Turn the ignition to ON, short the two pins that are on the right hand top side of the plug on their own (for 2 seconds) remove the short and count the amount of times the check engine light flashes = error code.

Sounds like you've got a problem with the boost sensor or unplugged TCS servo motor

Is your car running fine?

I had that problem once after a service (changing the plugs). Car was absolutely fine though. The next time i started the car it went away. I then also resetted the ECU though just in case, no problems now.

I remember reading that those lights are usually a sign of coil pack failure. As 666Dan said, you need to find out from the error codes what the problem is.

However if the car is running fine, I am guessing its nothing and that itll prob go away.

Cheers

You need to do a search for error codes

If I recall correctly, 2 long flashes followed by 1 short one means 21

And 21 = iginition problems = usually coil packs?

I'd say give resetting ur ECU first to see if that clears any errors, and see whether the error pops up again.

Those lights would usually indicate something to do with the traction control or throttle position sensor. Check the plugs in that area are all firmly plugged in for a start.

Easy way to test if the TPS is adjusted right is using a consult cable but you could manually reset it if you know what you are doing.

mine had these similar lights come on intermittently some time ago...car was running fine...got it checked at mechanic with a scan tool..and it was a faulty O2 sensor...replaced tht..all good. Most reputable mechanics have the scan tool now so it would be much better to just bring it in if ur not too sure bout shorting things.

This is definitely not a good thing if all the lights are going on... after my SAFC2 install, this was happening as well (intermitantly - maybe 1 time a week).

Car would run really crap and required a restart in order to get it good again!

Double checked all the wires from the SAFC2 and tucked the loom back very very neatly, problem solved. This was my solution, may not be yours!

I have had a problem with the hicas light coming on when its raining and the sytem goes dead. I refitted all the plugs and sprayed them with lanosol, fixed the problem for a year when it happened again I resprayed them and it worked straight away. I dont think this is your problem though, just a heads up on nissan looms.

I dont know where i would start on this problem anyway.........

Would reseting the ECU effect the settings on the SAFCII?

I dont know anything about the wiring on the SAFCII so id be lost on this one.

Guess ill just follow the wires back and check all i can.

ahehaehahehaehahe

i still have this problem...

i tried to restart the ECU but it didnt work....

it normally comes on when it just starts to get warm, usally when the water temp goes up.....

i did a diagnostic Check when i brought it to the machanics and he scanned it and it read's 21

Ignition signal circuit - No consecutive ignition signal while the engine is running <-------- WTF????

the machanic dosent seem to have a clue either.... so as i have check im going to bowwor a friends coil pack to see if it the problem... or im going to do a service this week anyways so sparkie will be changed so i hope everything will be fix from there onwards.....

yeah sure i will let you know of the outcome...

it dosent really effect the performance much but i cant tell theres somthing wrong with it....

like for eg it takes more time to boost well not that long but compared to what it was before...

and when i change gears when i let go of the clutch its like a sudden jerk!!!

i dunnoo maybe its be or my heads plaing games....

r32_Gts4

yeah you cant resett the ecu urself really easy...

just take out the negative from your batt...

turn on you lights, high beam and all

then let it sit for 30 mins and then put the Negative back and then there you go its resstted...

but didnt work for me... well it did for like 1 or 2 hours it didnt come back then after it came back again.

Edited by ZERO

ok i had a full engine services on the weekend...

such as oil, and sparkies

anyways... the problem still comes up and its pissing me off... cause i knoe i have to spend $700 on coil pack when it could go towards to something else.

anyways im going to check if it coil packs and i will then again let you know it the problem still continues....

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
    • meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
    • I can donate $100 to your upgrade fund. So long as you can donate the IC7 my way....
    • I'd love a Haltech ECU, and Haltech 10 dash. Was having a chat with Rob and Andy @ Haltech when Rob put one in his MR2. First one I'm kind of interested in too, as you can dim it RIGHT down. Andy was saying bright dashes is one of his peeves too!
