im trying to figure out whats wrong with my r34 gt-t

when im driving it after 15 mins 3 lights come up

engine light, slip light and tcs light

and the car dosent run the best when the lights come up but when i switch the car off and on again they stay on appart from the engine light

does anyone have any idea's?

do r34's have ignitor moudle's?

thankyou

THIS EXACT THING HAPPEND TO ME FEW MONTHS AGO, mechanic told me ECU was farked, but searched on sau,

bought new spitifres, fitted myself and Bam havent seen the issue since :P

and saved myself like 2000 bucks lol

  • 1 year later...

Hi I have been getting the occasional TCS and SLIP light coming on on startup. Fix it by switching off and starting again. Last week I got the problem when I was driving though and immediately after that it followed by a CEL which caused the idle to be irratic and do drop to about 500rpm, looked as if the oil pressure was dropping as well as becuase of the irratic idle. Luckily I was around the corner from home and got her back and decided to check the problem online to see if anyone encountered it. Low and behold it is a known problem with coilpacks so I decide to scrp the center cover and have a look at the coilpacks. I am currently running Iridium 7's with a gapping of 1.1mm that I regapped to 0.8mm. I was never confident on the manual gapping and decided to swap out the Iridiums for some NGK coppers with a 1.1mm gap as well. Now I have a huge Oddesey battery so I know the power is not the problem.

I swapped the plugs out and inspected the coilpacks thoroughly same time and they all look like brand new so I put them back in and refitted everything and started her up. After a couple of seconds the TCS and SLIP came on and the CEL a little later as well. On some more reading I heard to first check my timing, this car came from Japan with a Blitz Access ECU and a Pivot ACS-M controller to adjust the Air/Fuel Mixture, I had a wideband attached and made the fuel adjustment for our octane. This is a temporary measure until I can afford a proper standalone setup. Anyway, I followed advice and checked timing, bringing the car to operating temp and then connecting the timing light and unplugging the TPS harness as this is an RB25DET Neo. Checked the timing and it is at 10*, I know it suppose to be 15* so I adjusted the CAS and got it to be at 15* then reconnected the TPS harness and rev the car and checked to see that the timing advances accordingly and then switched the ignition to the OFF position and then restarted clearing all the logs. Now when I start the car there is no TCS or SLIP light and thus far the CEL is not there. I am yet to take the car for a spin to see if it has gone away but I am still getting a slight miss, hoping that it may clearup with a couple of spirited trips but if the lights come back I will be pulling the codes off the consult connector to see what code it is throwing, I should have done this initially but it slipped me. What I also found when I clipped back in the TPS harness is that the timing began to fluctuate and it was difficult to see where the timing was at with the gun, is that normal?

I pulled the codes from the CEL as they came up when I started the car tonight. Here is what I got

17 - ABS/TCS Control Unit Circuit. Throttle Control Unit detects malfunction in the system/TCS/ABS Control Unit detects malfunction.

21 - Ignition Signal Circuit. No Consecutive Ignition Signal while the engine is running

43 - Throttle Position Sensor Signal Circuit. TPS output voltage is either higher than 4.7V or lower than 0.06V for predetermined time while parked/neutral position switch is OFF and vehiucle speed is less thank 4Km/hr or higher

Could it be that the coilpacks are causing the other errors to come about? When I started the car the idle was about 2000rpm and then very abruptly it dropped under to about 500rpm and then the idle sounded all weird. Any ideas or should I change the coilpacks and work from there?

+11ty trillion for coilpacks - Splitfires, all the way

very very very very very common R34 problem. The reason it's not running right is that's it's actually dropped a few cylinders... any bets your car sounds like a WRX when it happens?

no major issues really, plug and play Splitfires and you'll be sweet for a long long time

hi

+1 for coil packs.... I had the same problem and just last week i bought some yellow jackets and hasnt missed a bit since.

Hope that helps!

Also I checked the resistance on the primary side of my GTT coilpacks and I have found the culprit. Here are my readings,

Coilpack 1 - 1.686

Coilpack 2 - 1.683

Coilpack 3 - 1.546

Coilpack 4 -

Coilpack 5 - 1.581

Coilpack 6 - 1.671

My Part Number for these coils are MCP-1440 as stated earlier. I got a set off a Neo but not sure if it was an RB20 or 25 as they were off in a box, the part number is MCP-1340. Does anyone know if I can use them? Here is the primary side resistanc eon the five I got,

Coilpack 2 - 1.440

Coilpack 3 - 1.385

Coilpack 4 - 1.423

Coilpack 5 - 1.424

Coilpack 6 - 1.556

Now my next question is is the lower the resistance the better and the higher the resistance? Wondering if I can put it these five and the lowest resistance one from my bunch to make a set? Your thought?

Any way, I got a replacement coilpack and swapped number four and refitted my setup, rechecked timing and started the car. CEL has gone so far but the TCS and SLIP lights are still there. Ran an ECU diagnostic and came up with 17 only this time so the coilpack so far has cured two symptoms. I decided to erase fault codes and start again, so far no codes are appearing, no TCS, SLIP or CEL light. My idle is a little lumpy at times but I am yet to drive her. Maybe with some driving it will clear up. I have since found some other stuff to do to her in the mean time before putting her back on the road; leaking upper rad hose and thrashed steering rack rubbers. Does it ever end.

Drove the car today, no more dash lights but after a couple of spirited runs the breakup is happening at 5000+rpm. Can it be the gapping, I have BKR7E-11 copper plugs. The idle is getting back what seems to be a miss again. Gonna try and run it without the coilpack cover tomorrow in the night and see if I see any arcing. None of my coilpacks have any sign of arcing whatsoever. What else you can suggest besides getting Splitfires as right now I cannot afford to get them and I don't wanna park up my car :blush:.

Talk about bad luck, parked by a traffic light this morning and an old guy runs into the back of me. The car is actually pulling much better after I replaced some of the stock vacuum lines with some silicone replacements. Now I am down for the count. Thinking about fixing her up and selling her and getting me a GTR if I can afford one.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
