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?

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.

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

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
