Tcs & Slip

[chwkevin]

I got an Automatic 4-dr GTT and it sometimes engine sounds like subaru then the TCS and SLIP lights come on simultaneously, and it's getting worse. It happened like twice a week and now happens almost every time I start the car. Have the ECU scanned and it results a 6c engine system fault code. Does anyone know what would lead the the subaru sound and the lights come on and what the 6c fault code means?

Thanks

Coilpacks failing

Or tcs is

Seems to be the end of life for r34 gtt tcs i know of at least 5 failures in the past months including mine

Some say coilpacks but mine had been replaced with shitfires ( no better then any other brand and cost a butt load)

Ended up the tcs was sensing slip and confused the abs as well , cheaper to grab a used tcs complete off a wreck , they seem to be not happy for rebuild once removed the switch fails

Auto gtt work fine on 5 spd

5 spd wont work on auto need extra plug that 5 spds dont have , many years have many part #

they changed parts a lot from 98-2002 so pointless to find exact part #

Nissan is a goldmine cost wise for that part

Buy a gasket for throttlebody and expect to have to order it from japan nissan has few if any In Country , do it fast yours is close to leaving you stranded with only 2000 rpm available max

Reset the ecu afterwards and reset tps it will be off a bit

dont waste a bunch of cash chasing codes because its not the fix , check coils but money is on tcs failure imminent

Google sau its been covered a bunch lately

Had the same issue with my R34. It sounds like a Suburu coz its not running on all 6 cylinders. Its not running on all 6 cylinders coz a coilpack is stuffed & that is why the traction control light & slip light is coming on. I changed my coilpacks & problem is fixed. Only difference I had was my engine light came on too.

My engine light came up as well ^^

What coilpacks did you get and how much are they?

I have splitfire but one failed at a year and they refused warranty , i got offered a group buy of red superspark type for about 300 a set ? Splitfires vary between450-600 for gtt

The best option MSD chevy ls truck coils and some mods to run leads to sparkplugs , cheaper , way more power , dependable long term

Drawbacks a lot more work to setup

Room to put the 6 coilpacks besides on top of cover , even a a dual pack like a 6 cyl commo uses takes room

Overkill unless your boosting it up a fair bit

Damn msd should make replacements grrrrrr

what should i get if i want a cheaper one but longer lasting one, I mean on daily basis, what is suggested?

From a electronics basis , all of the coil packs are similar , any aftermarket one will have a bit more spark then factory but most are exactly the same internally and the laminated windings are the same thickness , so any brand

update the grounds to the coils and clean up mounting area improves life and power

I have a daisy chained 4 ga ground and that stopped mis fires on splitfire using iridium's

So for a daily any brand , just watch out you need the ones for neo gtt on r34 they dont interchange

I put in Spitfires & issue went away. They were $500.00

Iv read many good things about them & most ppl on here say go OEM or Spitfires.

OEM is more expensive
