R34 Gtt Need Urgent Help

[18RZZ]

Hi guys,

Yesterday i bought a 98 model R34GTT and i got a pre purchase inspection done on it from a well trusted performance shop, on the way home from a drive last night my wife noticed while she was driving that three lights had just come on in the instrument cluster.

Me not be of a mechanical mind i was wanting to know how to fix it and what the problem is that caused these lights to come on...

the lights that come on are:- TCS off / SLIP / ENGINE

when i turned the car off after we got home i turned the ignition on again and started the car and all lights went out as per normal.

any help would be greatly appreciated as i have been waiting nearly 2 years to get this car and now i finally got it i want to make sure it is in good working order.

Thanks for the hand.

Could be the coil packs, they throw these lights up, normally accompanied with a rough idle though. Poor 5v feed to the TPS, TCS and Turbo pressure sensor can cause it also. Have a fiddle with all the plugs at the top of the engine.

Failing that run the diagnostic with a paper-clip (5 second job) and check the error codes that are stored-

ive had my car 4 months now, it did that once, during a very big storm, no chance in idle tho.

it was co-indidently after putting in premium fuel at a local small servo...(had no choice), runs on ultimate every other time and has never had the lights come up.

so make sure its got good fuel in it

my car was doing this for a while, I found out when that combination of lights is on the error is most likely "primary ignition fault". My problem turned out to be coil packs, bought some split fires and changed the plugs and it went away.

Hi mate,

congrats on ur purchase. I have the same lights on my r34 too. After some research I can say it is most likely be the coilpack, as realor said, change the coilpack and it will fix it.

I have been meaning to change my but due to money I have left it for now.

Hey thanks for the help will have a look at coils, i know from the inspection i got done that the plugs are the wrongs ones so will change them when i go the coils.

i drove it around all day and the fault did not show up again so i have filled the tank with VORTEX 98 is this a suitable fuel or would you recommend another brand?

cheers once again and sorry for all the newb questions.

Also just quickly is there anyone who has had a problem with the factory disc player and screen not working i was told by the people i bought it off that iit would cost me about 500 to fix but if i know what to look for i can have i fixed by me at work for nothing?
