R34 Gt-T Auto Problem

i recently just brought a r34 gt-t auto and it seems to have a few little faults.

When on the highway every now an then the accelerator will stop working so its like you cant go up in speed it just slowly drops. Some times if you put your foot flat it will kick back in but lately the only way in fixing it is to put it into 3rd and wait a few seconds then put it back into drive. Does anyone no what this could be?

Also slip will keep flashing on the screen?

Hey MissR34,

No need to stress, I had the very same problem when I just got my R34 GT couple years ago.

The "Slip" light indicates that the traction control is kicking in, which will be restricting you.

I'm assuming your Skyline has aftermarket wheels, likely larger lower profile rims.

The traction control in the Skyline are rather sensitive & aftermarket wheels can effect it!

I only really had problems when going up steep inclines...

The best way to resolve this is to just turn the traction control OFF!

Located down below the left side of the steering wheel.

Another light indicator will show that traction control is disabled.

I very rarely use traction control, don't really need it in a Skyline.

But if you every get to happy on the peddle and get bit sideways...

Either keep goin or take your foot off and it'll straighten back up!

Also if your going to use gears, when in "Drive" push the gear stick left to engage manual shifting.

This will make the gearbox feel more like a manual transmission just without a clutch peddle.

I normally cruise in Drive but when I wanna go hard I use manual shifting...

There's also a on/off button with a steering wheel on the center console above the gear stick.

When engaged this will allow you to change gears on the steering wheel...

These buttons ain't the most practical feature but are pretty cool...

Anyways hope this helps...

I would imagine different rolling diameters front to back would cause this issue (much like it would with ATESSA) as the traction control system uses the ABS sensors to read wheel speed and looks for a difference front to back.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
