Hey guys I have a r34 gtt... this morning when I turn the ignition on the slip light turns on... when I turn the car on it goes away but I can't turn traction control off... well I don't think it's even on as it let's the wheels spin but I can't manually turn it on or off... what could it be? Thanks for any help in advance.

Forgot to mention that I took the throttle body off last night to change the rocker cover gaskets... although after a quick test drive last night it was fine... I checked the TCS motor and it's working fine... umm only other thing I can think of is the sensor on the other side of the motor, on my power fc I think it's under THRM what should the value be?

Well I've checked all the plugs everything is plugged in, it's reading the throttle motor sensor and tps fine, I'm farken stumped, traction control sometimes kicks in sometimes doesn't, slip light is on before turning the car on as soon as I turn the car on it goes away although when I press the traction control off button nothing happens at all.

Through my own fun and games (installing aftermarket TC) the ECU in the boot handles wheel speeds and all that jazz (which the ECU needs). If everything is well and truly plugged in, its time to be checking wiring, manuals, and wheel speed sensors.

Bust out that workshop manual and the 'ol multimeter and swear a lot.

I'm out with this stupid workshop manual lol... could that ecu be fried? I just remembered it done it before and then a few hours later it was completely fine... I plugged my standard ecu back in took it for a drive same thing... checked error codes nothing came up... tried grounding the number 4 to do the self diagnosis but that didn't work... dunno why some things pulling me to around the throttle body because it happened when I removed that sprayed a shit load of throttle body cleaner and put it back together.

Unlikely the ECU is fried - It is where the wheel speed sensors wire to (this also controls your ABS) as the ABS and TC ECU are the same thing in the boot.

Could be the car ECU but again, unlikely for it to mysteriously die.

Just going to have to over the thing from top to bottom. I'd wager if its bringing up lights... it's bringing up error codes... OR it thinks you're slipping and TC is cutting in when it isn't.. or one of the many other things that can f**k up :P

Not the car ecu I've ruled that one out... I've read that if it were the wheel sensors it would also bring up the abs light correct? If that's the case it's not it's only bringing up the slip light on its own with ignition on and when the car is on no warning lights are on what so ever.

Can someone do me a favour, I think I figured it out lol, if yous have a r34 gtt can you please do me a favour and turn your ignition on when ignition is on do your slip and tcf off lights stay on or do they turn off after a second or so.

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
