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.

ohhh thanks, i'll give that a look and see what i can do. :)

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.

well that sucks, i would have been nice if i could get wheel spin, maybe not then :P

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 :)

thats all i wanted to know

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

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
