tcs = traction control system? :wave: how do you turn it on? :(

is your r34 4wd? the slip light comes on when the road is slippery/wet :D

try this regarding the airbag light- have your drivers door open, turn the key on to ignition and within 5 seconds press the door light switch 7 times. should make the light go away :)

Sounds a bit dodgy..the airbag light could be coming on because it's been in an accident, had it go off & hasn't been reset properly? The other things..I dunno

If I'm not wrong if airbag went off and not fixed properly, the car cannot start at all...but the car do sound dodgy yeah...

check if the throttle body in your car has 2 or 1 wire. Also try look from behind the car and see if there is a short bar attach relatively close to the suspension which is aftermaket (generally colourfull)_..

check if the wirings in the middle is done properly..I have't done this yet..but I'm pretty sure to get to the triple gauge you have to use a screwdriver to pry out the air conditioning vents (under the tipple gauge) from the side. after it's out there'll be two screws holding the gauges from the front....there is this DIY site for R34 I forgot what it's called....

Took the car to my mechanic and he reckons i need to do a diagnostic test and re map the computer or something like that..... He seems to think because of all the mods sometyhing may have been re-mapped which would cause the slip light tcs light and the airbag light all to be on. I got NO idea where to start and how to fix this problem is really givin me the shits. I got the car from auction last week so i got no idea really whats been done to....

1. what computer are u running ???

if u are piggy backing then the factory computer is probbly just chucking a fit cuz not wired / set up right.

2. is the tcs still inplace?

if u are running factory plenum etc then probly yes

(tcs is nobby looking thing that comes of pipe crossing over head and sits into the neo cover)

3. airbag light flashing cuz seat/dash removed at some stage

(either to fit pigyback as under passenger seat is common place or dash removed / replaced)

4. centre guages - nfi ?

not sure if there is a fuse for these or not but would look in drivers kick panel if there is

else the guage panel is pretty easy to remove so open her up and check wiring

else get someone who knows shiz to take a look and if cant figure it out ...

... good excuse to buy some new guages :laugh:

i'm no mecanic/auto elec guy but i hope this helps,

otherwise go see someone who specialises in 34's and they should know the score.

john.

Well that may explain the tcs because the neo cover has been removed.,id say because of the intercooler piping. So than maybe tcs has been removed all together. Im getting a guy to look at the guages today he reckons its no big drama as heaps of shit has been played around with. thanks for the replies

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2

      Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
