Hey all :)

I own a 1998 Nissan Skyline R34 25GT with auto transmission, and whenever i tried to do wheel spin, it just can't get it up.

I have been told that traction control is on, so is there a way to turn it off? like there a switch i haven't seen? or yeah, someone please help me.

xx Ben

Should be a on/off switch by your left knee under the steering wheel. Pic is from my Manual 2000 GTT, im assuming the auto is no different.

yeah i have that switch, when i flick it, it comes up saying 'snow', is that the same as yours?

There might be a fuse box that can access and pull out the fuse for traction control..? Try losing traction at a wet parking lot by making slow doughnuts, I think a light should blink in the dash to indicate that the traction control is working/not working.

oh yeah i guess i could try pull out the fuse for traction control. i just thought there was a switch like other cars, may be wrong tho.

On R34s traction control is organized by modulating secondary throttle plate inside the throttle body. Look at your engine. Locate throttle body. There is no secondary plate actuator in there - none of N/A R34 have them from factory. Hence there is no traction control.

Yep, thought NA R34's didn't have traction control, what on earth would they need it for? This thread is a perfect example for why they would never need it. The OP is TRYING to get wheel spin and can not achieve it.

Maybe you should try to induce some wheelspin using tallspeed of your auto box? press both pedals, it should rev up to ~2000 or 2500, then release brake pedal. If that does not help, then either you'll have to live with no wheelspin or put on some narrow tires or add ridiculous amount of camber to the back.

Note that stallstart heats up ATF pretty fast, so don't hold both pedals for a long time and don't repeat this exercise very often.

Added: according to factory manual, stall speed for RB25DE is 2350-2550 rpm. FSM does not recommend holding throttle pedal for longer than 5 seconds and also says to press throttle gradually. It also says to release throttle as soon as stall speed is reached, but you should release brake pedal instead and floor your throttle :P

go to a parking lot

right/left hand down full lock

floor it and see if the orange T/C / SLIP blinks in the middle of the dash?

what you mean by 'right/left hand down full lock'

and what if T/C or SLIP comes up?

You won't see it, as R34 N/A's do not have traction control. At all, period. It just doesn't exist man.. I.E it is always off.

ohhh okay, thanks man :)

i have a 34 GT-4 (the non turbo 4 wheel drive model) and im wondering why i have a TC button on my dash if i dont have TC? i dont have the on off switch so im just guessing that they made the same cluster for all manual non turbo models but why would they take the turbo gage off and leave the TC on?? im confused

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
