Hey guys,

A couple of months ago I bought an r34 gtt. But lately it has developed a new trick.

Within 10 mins of the first drive of the day the tcs off and slip signs come on, as well as the malfunction indicator light. It usually just takes a few stationary restarts to get it back working, but i was just wondering what the cause could be?

I had a look round for similar topics but most people seem to have permanent tc problems, whereas mine is only in the first 10mins of driving and temporary.

Any clues?

Thanks heaps

its getting worse. yesterday the error light came on, tc turned off and the car ran like shite for a while. 2 restarts later and it went back to normal. i guess this is some ecu problem?

It may pay to check if a previous owner has put in a TCS modifier this reverses the switch function (so you have to turn it on not off after you've started the engine) and is hard wired in near the tcs control unit in the boot.

I was going to put one in but decided against it for no particular reason after I'd bought it.

It may have been poorly installed or removed and have damaged the wireing.

Just a thought.

Mine does the exact same thing mate.

It' will slowly get worse, to the point where the lights will only stay off from startup until you put it in gear, then straight on, and stay on.

I've found that occasionally nailing it (wheelspin) can turn 'ON' TRC again (ie, lights 'off'). Rare. I think it's simply a broken wire, possibly transmission tunnel area, as I pulled the carpet up to dry it out*, and the lights went out for a day and a bit, but came back.

I'm certain it's not a broken wheel speed sensor, as ABS still works fine.

The ENG light occasionally (rare) comes on, and gives code 28, I have no idea what that refers to, I simply clear the codes, and it's fine. The first time I got this code was when I tried remote starting it in 'Drive', and the sensors denied start procedure. Other times haven't had a pattern.

If I park facing downhill (only) and it rains heavily, the cabin air intake/front rain gutter area overflows near the driver's A-pillar and leaks into the driver's footwell (*hence \drying the carpet above :blink: ) Is this a common fault?

thanks for the info mate. how do i see the error codes? and does anyone know where a key to the codes is?

lol ill answer my own question for anyone who may have been awaiting an answer:

error codes can be checked using this method

lol, being a newb is a little tiring sometimes. i'm yet to do a search for coilpack problems, but it sounds like that's going to be the problem

cheers

You might want to invest in a console cable, i got mine for $60 off ebay. Invaluble tool for getting stats/error codes and running diagnostics on all older pre OBD-II nissans.

i will do that sometime in the near-ish future, but atm slightly conservative on the mulahs.

just wondering tho, why would coilpacks bailing cause the tc to fail?

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
