ive got coilovers and if i drive with TCS on it kills power all the time randomly... just cause of the stiff suspension :banana:

Interesting, never thought about the coilovers...

I've had the same thing happen to me, definitely no noticable wheelspin and not much acceleration for that matter, but the slip light comes on (along with the engine being throttled back). Hmm.

So you reckon the coilovers? Anyone else get this minor problem?

BOV and nearly stalling seems like a very realistic idea. its the only thing you have changed and if you go close to stalling your engine both will flick on. go out and try it... let the clutch out just enough to nearly kill it and push it back in quick, both lights will come on.

probably the most likely thing i think

As for the coil overs, yes they do effect the tcs... but only usually on tight corners or over bumps. so it doesnt sound like this was happening when the car nearly stalled?

I always switch my tcs off because the coil overs do cause abit of havoc with it. only at low speed though ive noticed

sounds 99.9999999999999999% like the old R34 coil packs issue to me. VERY VERY common for R34's to have 1 or more coil packs to give out.

Splitfires are getting stupidly cheap these days, not sure if they've even cracked the $400's??

Anyways, had the exact same problem, got Splitfire coil-packs, problem went away :blink: Good upgrade to do anyway, and is actually cheaper than buying brand new OEM Nissan coil packs

check the trader sections here for cheap Splitfires.

cheers,

      @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed

      All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?

      It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
