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.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
