is the car modified?

we have done one with a Plazmaman plenum which requires the stock throttle body to be changed

which in turn throws the same lights as your car

still trying to figure out a work around for this issue

The TCS/Slip & Engine indicators lights during normal drive, can anyone tell me what causes that and what I need to do to diagnose exactly where went wrong?

thanks heaps

I'm having the exact same issue lol :)

I got my R34 GT-T not even a couple of weeks ago and this happened to me for the 3rd time just earlier tonight. Driving along, car seems to go a little funny for a moment, but keeps traveling along just fine. TCS Off, Slip and Engine lights come on. Pull over, turn off car for a few secs and restart it and it's fine again.

I checked the ECU Fault Codes (shorted pins on consult connector), engine light flashed Code 21. I've been reading up on this over the past few days and yeah .. Pretty much what JI34GT said. Err 21 pertains to the Ignition circuit and is well renowned for being problematic coilpacks. The general consensus is to replace them. That's what I aim to do over the next few weeks. Do a search and you'll find other threads on the topic.

The only question I have now is why Nissan made it so it lights up the TCS/Slip lights .. Bit misleading isn't it?? :ph34r:

Fingers crossed it'll fix things up, might be good for current/future power gains and possibly also bring up fuel economy a bit if it's been crap.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
