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?

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
