Hi guys,

Driving to work this morning (and yesterday morning) several of my warning lights come on whilst driving.

It’s a combination of TCS OFF, SLIP and CHECK ENGINE, or TCS OFF, SLIP and ABS.

I’ll slow down, turn the car off, turn it back on again several times and that seems to clear it. Sometimes it takes a few times to do this. It’s as if they only come on once I reach a certain speed and go off once I go below a certain speed and restart the car.

As far as I can tell the car drives just fine, and the traction control works well.

I have been removing my starter motor fuse from under the hood whilst I am waiting for my upgraded immobiliser and alarm installation. I wonder if I’ve dislodged any other fuses during this constant removal and replacement? They all seem fine to me.

Anyone else experienced this? Would an ECU reset 'clear' this?

Cheers,

David.

Common problem in a lot of R34s that have been "tinkered" with...

Most Common Solution:

Opent up ECU Compartment

Double Check ALL Wiring and make sure it's all connected

Make sure the loom is securely fastened and neatly tucked away.

The above sorted my instance out after having exactly the same problem as you described.

More common if you have installed something like a SAFC or AVCR.

Thanks

Mine is stock as a rock though!?

Well, I just added a K&N Panel filter.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out. I'll also re-inspect all other fuse connections as there are fuses for these exact systems right next to my starter motor fuse.

Embarassing question of the day... where is the ECU Compartment? Is it on the passenger side?

I'm also going to give the ECU reset a go.

Failing all this, I'll be taking it to a Nissan Dealer for a service. $250 for a 'minor' service... but at least they can check it with CONSULT.

Easiest way to check it out is get it scanned at a garage. any with a scan tool will work

Got it scanned. Thanks Godzilla32. Code 21 - Ignition problem. Was related to this misfiring problem. Some good suggestions at this thread.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
