Hi guys,

Was wondering if anyone knows what is wrong with the SLIP light on my dashboard, it blinks on high speed and i also lose power everytime it does this.

The car is a r34 gt-t and the SLIP indicator is related to the TCS (traction control system?). This happens only on straight road and high speeds ( 3th n 4th gear mostly).

Took to the mechanic and he reckons its some g sensor on the car. Does the r34 gt-t have a G sensor?

Any help will be much appreciated. THanks!

uber wheel spinning at high speeds :D ... i have no idea sorry sounds very strange, not sure if the tcs runs with wheel speed sensors check each hub ( if they have them ) maybe could be a issue but i just stabing in dark =]

I have the same problem. Same tyre sizing, same power and I have noticed that it happens more with more weight (people, cargo) in the car. I'm worried that the plates in the tranny are slipping. I'll admit though, it's more prone at higher speeds than you stated and when revs are between say 4000rpm to 5500rpm.

I have the same issue on my 34 GTT (running on 34R wheels). I have this issue at high speed and I drop down a gear to overtake or sprint off.

My solution is turn off the TCS. Its now a normal start up procedure for me. Haha.

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
