R34 Problem

[jackdanielz]

There somthing wrong with my R34 (GTT-no engine modification)... It began long time before I was cruising down the freeway, and then some dude went to change the line, so i just released a bit of my gas pedal then when he moved lane i tried to accelerate again but all of a sudden the engine, TCS off, slip lights came on, which apparently results in my car wont accel like it should do, the sound from my exhaust is somehow roaring and coughing.. and it does vibrate more when u tried to boot the gas pedal... But when I pulled over, and leave it for a minute or two, its completely back to normal, but u can smell like rubber burning from near the rear wheel... Keep getting this kind of problem but not too often, anyway my 5000k service is due in 2 weeks anyway, i thought so ill just wait..

Anyway I brought my car to 5000k service over in down under auto who also imported my car.. ask them bout the problem, but after the service they said nothing's wrong with ur car

Well the problem still came occasionally and will be gone if u leave it for a minute or two, went to the auto tune once and they said u gotta go to a garage who has the computer shit for R34, so it is easier to find, just plug it in and u'll know where did it go wrong...

I havent had a chance to do it though since i dont know which garage has one.. and the problem didnt pop up lately...

But around 5 days ago the problem came again when i actually wait for my order in mcd drivethru without anyhing to do with the gas pedal or clutch and another one came yesterday when i waited my friend with an engine on like exactly happened in mcd drivethru?

So has anyone overcome this problem or have any idea about what it is? Help me guys!!?

Thanks alot for reading it anyway...

Could be a whole multitude of things rather than just one problem...

Any Nissan Dealership with a service department should have a CONSULT which just plugs in to the ecu port underneath your coin slot

It will check for any error codes recorded by the factory ecu.

Sounds like it could be one of your coilpacks is dead/dieing which might explain why the problem is intermittent,

I haven't checked for awhile... but I think the TCS,SLIP, and ENGINE lights come on when your call stalls or is close to stalling(I was teaching the g/f to drive manual and I *think* I saw those lights on the dash come one when she stalled, was a while ago), which again could be related to a shagged coilpack

If it turns out to be that I'd recommend buying a set of splitfire coilpacks off one of the traders here in the For Sale section of the forums, Splitfires are just like nissan ones but much cheaper to buy compared to genuine

Good idea to check the condition of your Air Flow Meter,

other than that I'm out of ideas...

Goodluck mate!

dude your tire slipped, and traction control was on hence engine cutoff to save you from spinning out, turn off traction control theres a switch somewhere and then you wont have the problem again but more prone to spinning out if it ever happens

hey my r34 had the engine , slip and tcs off light come on aswel, consult says primary ignition(( my car was at mechanic for 3 wweeks after he told me my ECU was f**ked, before he came back and said its just ya coils..

if you do a search there is a few others had the identical symptons

all were fixed with replacing coil packs.

(( however my mechanic jsut put a new earth to mine and they have lasst an extra month, but im replacing them next week.

i might be wrong, but like i said, exact thing happened to me

Recently my engine light starts popping up...only the engine light though...it pops up and goes away and comes up again. Car drives normal but i am abit concerned. The engine light on can't be a good thing. recently had a service also...Any ideas on what it could posibly be?
