I was driving along not long after purchasing my r34 and out of the blue the engine just cut out, the turbo timer was still running the car but i had to press the immobiliser button the start the car again, all the lights on the dash came on, slip, ect (by the way what does slip stand for) and stayed on, once i turned the car off and restarted it later everything was back to normal and it hasnt happened again since. Always wanted a skyline but very new to this car, only had it a week, any advice would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

The slip light is your traction control.... when it senses loss of traction and kicks in, the light will usually flash a few times then go away.

As for your other problem, no idea, but it could be something weird happening with the turbo timer? At least it hasn't happened again >_<

ok cool, thanks so much for that, i actualy wondered if it may have had something to do with the turbo timer cause it seems to be doin a few weird things, i have no idea about them though, still new to actually owning a turbo car, its a greddy, maybe i should look into it abit.. Thanks again

    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.

    • They have said food will be limited. Mainly meat pies and sausage rolls from memory. But they have a coffee van!
