Tcs & Slip Lights Came On, What Does It Mean?

[Wayne_J]

ive got coilovers and if i drive with TCS on it kills power all the time randomly... just cause of the stiff suspension

Interesting, never thought about the coilovers...

I've had the same thing happen to me, definitely no noticable wheelspin and not much acceleration for that matter, but the slip light comes on (along with the engine being throttled back). Hmm.

So you reckon the coilovers? Anyone else get this minor problem?

BOV and nearly stalling seems like a very realistic idea. its the only thing you have changed and if you go close to stalling your engine both will flick on. go out and try it... let the clutch out just enough to nearly kill it and push it back in quick, both lights will come on.

probably the most likely thing i think

As for the coil overs, yes they do effect the tcs... but only usually on tight corners or over bumps. so it doesnt sound like this was happening when the car nearly stalled?

I always switch my tcs off because the coil overs do cause abit of havoc with it. only at low speed though ive noticed

sounds 99.9999999999999999% like the old R34 coil packs issue to me. VERY VERY common for R34's to have 1 or more coil packs to give out.

Splitfires are getting stupidly cheap these days, not sure if they've even cracked the $400's??

Anyways, had the exact same problem, got Splitfire coil-packs, problem went away Good upgrade to do anyway, and is actually cheaper than buying brand new OEM Nissan coil packs

check the trader sections here for cheap Splitfires.

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

Your atmo BOV will.
