Hi all,

I would like to know what the issue is when the "slip" and "TRC off" lights on the dash stay on??

and sometimes the orange light on the right hand side comes on also (dont know if it indicates engine or transmission)

there were never any issues with the way the car ran when the slip and TRCoff ligths came on - but ever since i got my spark plugs changed, on the second day of driving the car started running on 5 cyl. - I havn't had time to take the car back to mechanics.

the next day i start it up its running on 6 cyl. again with the warning lights all on (slip, TRCoff, engine/transmission lights)

then the ABS light also came on.....??? at this stage i was like WTF?????????????????

so i tested the brakes/ABS and ABS kicked in ok - then, all the warning lights turned off and car was running fine......????

to me its sounding like something is loose, a sensor or something..... all the above still happens intermitantly...???

anyone have any suggestions on what to check....or had similar issue????

Its your coils one of them is playing up causing it to run on 5 cylinders. If you replace them with Splitfires you wont have to worry again. Its happened to alot of people on here with R34's.

Probably replacing the plugs was too much for your factory coils.

Check the group buys on the site and also the traders you can usually get the for around 500 I think. Um yeah they can go that early I had one let go awhile ago at around 60,000 too.

Double check your plugs just to be certain but if your getting the engine light come up with your TCS etc im almost 100% sure its a coil.

      You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time.

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
