Hi all,

I have notice a couple of times now that when i initally take the car out sometimes while ur driving for a few minutes, the "TCS OFF", "SLIP" and "Engine" lights come on and stay on? It only happens from cold start. i dont even push it hard cos its still cold, i found turning the car off for a few minutes then turnin it back on it disappears? and someone shed some light on this maybe... Thanks guys

That is the fault code for the Ignition system/Coil packs mate....

Get ur self a nice new set of Splitfire coils R34 GTT model number: SF-DIS-008

Hope that helps.. Anyone correct me if i am wrong but i don't think so..

Thanks for the reply, that is very interesting, i only just got the car like 2 weeks ago, lol Splitfire coils R34 GTT not so cheap, but if it fixes the problem then good. can anyone back this up??? Thanks guys

Hahaha this is like the most common problem for 34 owners. myself i've had this for a while...I should probably replace the coils soon. Most other 34 owners have found replacing the coils to do the trick.

Is there any long term damage to the car if we dont replace the coils asap?

It is a common problem because of the plastic cover over the motor.. this traps the heat in a bit more so the factory coils tend to die sooner...

I would not leave it to long to replace them because if a coil is not working obviously that cylinder maybe getting no spark.. so may only have 5 or less cylinders getting spark.. or maybe only a weak spark. :thumbsup:

Splitfire coils may be expensive but they can increses power by giving a better spark and the can hold up to high power and engine heat better and if you use slitfires you should only ever need to do it once.. :D

By the way midnite34 welcome look forward to seeing some pics of ur car.. R34 Pics Have a look here.

    • Oh dear. The panel beating needs to be done before the filler work. Do you have a photo of the dent before you started? Hard enough to not flex and only hit the high spots?  What do you mean it was just temporary? 
    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
