R34 Problems

[R34NRG]

okai so i jsut relised wen i turn the car on. on the dash is says "SLIP" and "TRC OFF"

wat does slip mean....

i no wat the TRC OFF means...but the thing is...i got a button under the wheel to turn it on...but wen i press it it still says OFF....isnt it suppose to be on at all times unless i press the button which means it goes off?

[R33TOM]

well the SLIP i think is talking about your LSD, is TRC traction control? do R34's come with traction control?

R33 N R34 comes with Traction contro,l..however R34 ones can be turn off....I think...

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

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.

where is the secondary throttle butterfly under the bonnet located?

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.

well i fixed it guys.....for some reason THIS time wen i pressed the TRC button it all went off....ahhha....phew

Zero, looking at the bonnet it's the throttle that looks like it has a big cylinder/motor coming out of the side...there is a cut-out in the engine cover to accomodate it.

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?
