is the car modified?

we have done one with a Plazmaman plenum which requires the stock throttle body to be changed

which in turn throws the same lights as your car

still trying to figure out a work around for this issue

The TCS/Slip & Engine indicators lights during normal drive, can anyone tell me what causes that and what I need to do to diagnose exactly where went wrong?

thanks heaps

I'm having the exact same issue lol :)

I got my R34 GT-T not even a couple of weeks ago and this happened to me for the 3rd time just earlier tonight. Driving along, car seems to go a little funny for a moment, but keeps traveling along just fine. TCS Off, Slip and Engine lights come on. Pull over, turn off car for a few secs and restart it and it's fine again.

I checked the ECU Fault Codes (shorted pins on consult connector), engine light flashed Code 21. I've been reading up on this over the past few days and yeah .. Pretty much what JI34GT said. Err 21 pertains to the Ignition circuit and is well renowned for being problematic coilpacks. The general consensus is to replace them. That's what I aim to do over the next few weeks. Do a search and you'll find other threads on the topic.

The only question I have now is why Nissan made it so it lights up the TCS/Slip lights .. Bit misleading isn't it?? :ph34r:

Fingers crossed it'll fix things up, might be good for current/future power gains and possibly also bring up fuel economy a bit if it's been crap.

      It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in

      No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.
