Hi guys,

This fault engine warning light has been on together with the SLIP (VDC warning light) since yesterday, I restarted my car and the VDC warning light was off and the car drives like normal. Does anyone had this problem before? please share some experience and let me know where to fix it. in Sydney.

Thanks Nathan, No I haven't taken it to a mechanic yet, anyone in sydney that you recommend? Thanks

your best bet to get it fixed without getting charged heaps on diagnostics it to performed the procedure to read the cel code off of your dash the sequence is in the link I posted for reference. As for a mechanic most should me able to fix the issues once diagnosed so perform that diagnostics first. I usually address all mechanical issues myself so can't really recommend one of the top of my head.

Here it is!

Ensure accelerator pedal is fully released

Switch ignition ON. DO NOT start engine

Wait 3 seconds(A/T light will go out to to signify this)

Within 5 seconds, repeat the following 5 times:

> Fully depress accelerator pedal.

> Fully release accelerator pedal.

Wait 9 seconds.

Fully depress accelerator pedal and hold.

After approximately 10 seconds CEL will start flashing.

Fully release accelerator pedal.

Trouble codes are now displayed by CEL.

Count CEL flashes.

Compare to trouble code table.

Each trouble code consists of four groups of one or more flashes.

Ten flashes in a group indicate '0'.

The first group of flashes indicate the 'thousands' of the trouble code.

The second group of flashes indicate the 'hundreds' of the trouble code.

The third group of flashes indicate the 'tens' of the trouble code.

The fourth group of flashes indicate the 'units' of the trouble code.

A short pause separates each trouble code group.

A long pause separates each trouble code.

Switch ignition OFF.

ERASING:

Ensure accelerator pedal is fully released.

Ensure ignition switched OFF for at least 10 seconds.

Switch ignition ON - DO NOT start engine.

Wait 3 seconds.

Within 5 seconds, repeat the following 5 times:

> Fully depress accelerator pedal.

> Fully release accelerator pedal.

Wait 9 seconds.

Fully depress accelerator pedal and hold.

After approximately 10 seconds CEL will start flashing.

Fully release accelerator pedal.

Trouble codes are now displayed by CEL.

Fully depress accelerator pedal for more than 10 seconds.

Fully release accelerator pedal.

Trouble code 0000 should be displayed.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
