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.

lol sorry just used to posting up on this link so often.

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.

my wifes 34 did the same thing. Coilpacks are probly on the way out. Get it scanned with consult and will tell you straight away. Hers did it on start up and whilst driving, 2 coil packs where stuffed.

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?

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
