R34 Questions

[lasy05]

Just need to know where i can go to fix the problem i have with my r34 or if anyone can tell me what the prob is.

On the dash it says tcs off and to the side it says slip, how do i fox that??

And my air bag light continously flashes?

None of the 3 centre guages work..fuse? any feedback appreciated

tcs = traction control system? how do you turn it on?

is your r34 4wd? the slip light comes on when the road is slippery/wet

try this regarding the airbag light- have your drivers door open, turn the key on to ignition and within 5 seconds press the door light switch 7 times. should make the light go away

Im not sure if its 4wd i dont think so i think its rwd how can i be sure? And there is a swicth that says tcs below the steering wheel and im flicking that but its not doing anything. i bought the car from an auction last week and just noticed s few little problems

Sounds a bit dodgy..the airbag light could be coming on because it's been in an accident, had it go off & hasn't been reset properly? The other things..I dunno

If I'm not wrong if airbag went off and not fixed properly, the car cannot start at all...but the car do sound dodgy yeah...

check if the throttle body in your car has 2 or 1 wire. Also try look from behind the car and see if there is a short bar attach relatively close to the suspension which is aftermaket (generally colourfull)_..

check if the wirings in the middle is done properly..I have't done this yet..but I'm pretty sure to get to the triple gauge you have to use a screwdriver to pry out the air conditioning vents (under the tipple gauge) from the side. after it's out there'll be two screws holding the gauges from the front....there is this DIY site for R34 I forgot what it's called....

Meh, I've heard that if it's gone off there's always funny things going on with the light..it taking ages to turn off once you start the car etc..thought it may also stem to it staying on constantly etc.

Took the car to my mechanic and he reckons i need to do a diagnostic test and re map the computer or something like that..... He seems to think because of all the mods sometyhing may have been re-mapped which would cause the slip light tcs light and the airbag light all to be on. I got NO idea where to start and how to fix this problem is really givin me the shits. I got the car from auction last week so i got no idea really whats been done to....

1. what computer are u running ???

if u are piggy backing then the factory computer is probbly just chucking a fit cuz not wired / set up right.

2. is the tcs still inplace?

if u are running factory plenum etc then probly yes

(tcs is nobby looking thing that comes of pipe crossing over head and sits into the neo cover)

3. airbag light flashing cuz seat/dash removed at some stage

(either to fit pigyback as under passenger seat is common place or dash removed / replaced)

4. centre guages - nfi ?

not sure if there is a fuse for these or not but would look in drivers kick panel if there is

else the guage panel is pretty easy to remove so open her up and check wiring

else get someone who knows shiz to take a look and if cant figure it out ...

... good excuse to buy some new guages

i'm no mecanic/auto elec guy but i hope this helps,

otherwise go see someone who specialises in 34's and they should know the score.

john.

Well that may explain the tcs because the neo cover has been removed.,id say because of the intercooler piping. So than maybe tcs has been removed all together. Im getting a guy to look at the guages today he reckons its no big drama as heaps of shit has been played around with. thanks for the replies

Check the "TCS/ABS" fuse under the bonnet. mine was blown and that caused the warning lights to come on in the car.
