You've got a problem and more than likely a big one. Chances are it's your coilpacks but best bet is to take it to a nissan dealer so they can plug in and see what the problem is.

R34's have switchable traction control its on the lefthand side next to the steering wheel. When the TCS is on the "SLIP" light will come on when it senses wheelspin. When the TCS light is on and it displays "TCS off" the slip light will not light up at all, but the car will do burnouts and whatnot.

I don't beleive any of the R33's have traction control, maybe the one's with an A-LSD do but i'm not sure, all other ones do not have traction control at all.

TCS & Slip light normally means there is a problem with the plug that attaches to the secondary throttle butterfly under the bonnet, unplug it and plug it back on see if the lights go back to normal.

Run a diagnostic check to see what error code comes up

can i take it to any nissan dealer?

i swear i just got the car...and im already havn probs lol

If u just got the car, bring it to a mechanic or nissan who have the scan tool and get it checked out quick smart. If the car was from a dealer it should be covered by warranty.

This is a common problem with the R34s - a lot of owners have come across this at one stage.

For me it was as simple as making sure the wires were connected correctly and firmly at the ECU. This was after the SAFC2 install where we hadn't tucked all the wires back neatly - it could be a range of other things too but that was my case.

Since fixing the wire arrangement, I've never had that problem again.

Nope none of the R33 range comes with traction control, not even the ones with the A-LSD, my mate has one and his doesn't have it

I am mistaken ><...nyways the secodary trottle, is that how a TCS works? the secondary valve automatically cuts off the air when the car senses slip?

so if I replace the TB to say Q45, will the TCS still works?

    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
