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.

      Oof. One of my mates has an R34 GT-R that he initially was a "I want to go twins for response and convenience" on his stock 2.6 with Kelford 272 cams, but his friends are pests and were always in his ear about their place being in the bin.   Eventually one of the 2860-5s decided to add it's own input and force his hand, so he conceded and went for a Pulsar 6262G ("G35 900") with T4 0.85 hotside.    Here's an overlay of the results, same cams, same stock bottom end, same boost, same fuel, just from a pretty tidy 2860-5 install to a Pulsar turbo on a 6boost maniifold on BP98.   Worth mentioning here, it may seem like a dead horse thing but the dyno plot doesn't tell the story of how much better it is to drive - transient response has completely changed the car, he used to have flat foot shifting to stop it having to wind up again on gear changes even at >7000rpm... now it builds boost faster than that even short shifting.   It's 100% transformed the car before you even consider how much better it holds on: Pulsar and Garrett aren't the same, but from our experience if you're just looking for a better drive and the ability to make the same or more power I think the divided G30 770 would probably be the smallest I'd go to.

      Sweet, yeah hoping stock gears will hold up. May use the transbrake feature on hill climb starts so that will test it.

      Been down in Tassie for 2 weeks (a cruise, not a race for once) but spent a little time on her when I got back. I worked out the injector settings in the PowerFC were not correct for nismo 555s, set those to 66% +10ms and added a little air at closed throttle, set the timing (approximately, because it has some weird non 15o cells around idle) and now she starts and idles properly. She purrs like a kitten (ignore the co2 alarm in the background, I did  ) 20250518_171052.mp4 Next step, off for run-in, tuning and alignment!
