Slip Light Blinks On High Speed

[lcy]

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!

what size tyres and wheels are you running front vs. rear?

[lcy]

235 18 and 265 18

350hp at the rears

I dont think my whale is floating at 100km/hr

what profile?

i meant the rolling diameters are probably different so the car things the wheels are spinning

[lcy]

235/40/18ZR and 265/35/18ZR

or opposite for the 40 and 35. they are toyos t1r if that helps.

[Mr. Oizo]

weird

im running the exact same tyre sizes on 8" front, and 9" rear, and have no issues

im all out of ideas

sorry

[lcy]

Yeah its 18x8 and 18x9

no worries.

Seems slow on replies... No one knows whats happening with the car....

This doesnt happen when the TCS is turn to OFF. hmmm maybe the car is telling me not to speed.

The TCS is really sensitive on the R34 GTT.

uber wheel spinning at high speeds ... 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 =]

That is really weird. How fast are you going? Is it when accelerating or just holding speed it does it?

[lcy]

Normally 100km/hr. when i put my foot down on 4th gear it always does this. SLIP SLIP SLIP.

my Z does the same thing. Have you checked to see if your toe alignment is alright?

[lcy]

Will give it a check.

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.

sorry to bring up an old thread but did anyone end up figuring this shit out? my r34 gt-four does it too when accellerating at a fair rate of knots

[MrFijiGold]

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.

[HGHOON]

yeah i dont think i have the traction control on mine as its a gt-four , it feels like it was cuttin power too when flashing, is there anyway to turn that shit off on gt-four?

[darksky34]

is it possible that your clutches are slipping? mine is slipping (for sure) and when i go full throttle the revs will jump and the slip light comes on a bit too..

[MrFijiGold]

My NPC clutch is fine and doesn't slip at all.... so far (touch wood).

[HGHOON]

mines auto too haha
