I also have an R34 GTT. I've had it since just before chrissy and this has only happened to me twice since buying the car. I know that the slip and tcs lights were definately on, but can't remember if the malfunction one was lit up as well. I just kept driving and noticed that they switched off after 15 mins or so by themselves on both occassions... i didn't notice if the exhaust was sounding weird though...

I'd also like to know why this is, if anyone can shed some light on it???

I have exactly the same fault on my wifes R34GTT Tiptronic. It used to be once a month or so when it would play up and by turning the ignition off and then restarting it after ten seconds would clear it.........untill the next time. Now sometime it plays up on starting from cold and you can restart it ten times or more, before it will run cleanly without the lights coming on.

I have checked the fault codes with a consult and get "Ignition Signal - Primary"

Suspecting the Cam Angle Sensor, I swapped that for a known good one and..............it still plays up.

Any ideas?

Its the coilpacks guys, happens to every R34 that still runs the standard coilpacks. The thread starter mentioned it sounds funny from the exhaust......im guessing it sounds like a WRX? Reason for this is it has dropped a cylinder due to a coil not working.

My advice fork over for some splitfires and never have the problem again.

Well 6 new coil packs and it has run fine for the last two months, thanks for the advice

Wow, must be the coilpacks then... I have exactly the same issues with my R33 GTS-T ... if you read my thread you will find out that I have nearly exactly the same issues... I think I'm running standard coilpacks and hence this issue....

What brand do you recommend and how much?

No worries mate glad to help.

Spunkmonkey everyone here that replaces the factory coils uses Splitfires as I mentioned in an earlier post on this thread. Not sure what the price is on them but I know Nengun sell thm plus check the group buys.

Cheers
