TCS & SLIP lights came on whilst i was just driving for about 1 second or 2...What does this mean? is something wrong?

BTW: The TCS was on, and i wasn't slipping just driving normally...and just for a whole second the TCS OFF and SLIP lights came on for nothing and went back off.

Anyone know wat it means?

Cheers thanks in advanced.

Ive just put in a GFB Blow Off Valve spring adjusted to flutter if that is related by any chance?

Yep.

No doubt your car nearly stalled due to the ATMO BOV.

Put the stock one back on will fix it.

Otherwise fork out for a ECU, and a tune to get it fixed.

One is free, one will cost you.

Last thing you want is the car to stall going around a corner, you'll end up in a tree

Never stalled yet but, will a SAFC piggy back ecu help ??

Will BOV make car run rich?

BTW: Not all lights came on like when you start up the car...Just the 2 SLIP & TCS OFF

Nah the CEL didn't come on all together...Only TCS OFF and SLIP light came on for like 1 second and went off whilst i was driving on TCS ON BUT i swear i didn't wheel slip at all and why would the TCS OFF come on as well if i did slip.

mate it might be one of those diagnostics codes, something might be up with the ECU.... I'd do a bit of research on that and see if it turns up anything... I got an atmo bov on my GTT and i have no problems at all except a bit of a flat spot, but I don't think that has anything to do with it....

Hope that helps :rofl:

Mine only does that when I'm at DECA on the skidpan, all crossed up, MASSIVE wheel spin and the computer craps itself trying to figure out what the hell you are trying to do to it :P

Like this.

Really? So the "TCS OFF" and "SLIP" light came on ONLY at the same time for a second or so and went off and you found out the Coilpacks were causing it?

Maybe my coils are going then?

Yeah confused the shit out of us for ages. Got it scanned with consult, came up with ignition fault. I think the lights come on as a fault code. R34's have a full body control computer the whole lot.

Any mechanic or auto sparky with a snap on scanner should be able to scan it to.

Id say you have a dodgy coil. If i was you, get a set a splitfires and chuck them in.

Bad coils wouldn't cause backfires or popping sounds from exhausts will it?

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      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 🍻
