Hi all,

I would like to know what the issue is when the "slip" and "TRC off" lights on the dash stay on??

and sometimes the orange light on the right hand side comes on also (dont know if it indicates engine or transmission)

there were never any issues with the way the car ran when the slip and TRCoff ligths came on - but ever since i got my spark plugs changed, on the second day of driving the car started running on 5 cyl. - I havn't had time to take the car back to mechanics.

the next day i start it up its running on 6 cyl. again with the warning lights all on (slip, TRCoff, engine/transmission lights)

then the ABS light also came on.....??? at this stage i was like WTF?????????????????

so i tested the brakes/ABS and ABS kicked in ok - then, all the warning lights turned off and car was running fine......????

to me its sounding like something is loose, a sensor or something..... all the above still happens intermitantly...???

anyone have any suggestions on what to check....or had similar issue????

Its your coils one of them is playing up causing it to run on 5 cylinders. If you replace them with Splitfires you wont have to worry again. Its happened to alot of people on here with R34's.

Probably replacing the plugs was too much for your factory coils.

Check the group buys on the site and also the traders you can usually get the for around 500 I think. Um yeah they can go that early I had one let go awhile ago at around 60,000 too.

Double check your plugs just to be certain but if your getting the engine light come up with your TCS etc im almost 100% sure its a coil.

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
