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.

KINGY

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. :P

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?

    • How f**ked am i? what would happen if i leave the magnet inside there? 
    • I'll update you guys when i get home from work, im going to try to fish it out.  I just realized that i can't even drop the oil pan. The whole front diff and axles are connected to the oil pan... is it even possible to drop the oil pan without taking out the motor?  
    • So recently at the track had experienced a loss of throttle after a period of WOT after installing the emtron ecu, recently did some logging to troubleshoot the issue and found the ECU was cutting due to a low oil pressure issue. Going over the log can see that while accelerating at 4k rpm will see 100 PSI of pressure and holding steady at that level until getting off the throttle which then after can see as low as 25 PSI at 3-4k rpm and will recover back to a normal level after that.   Wondering if anyone has an idea what could be the cause as it just feels abit strange and i dont feel like it could be a sensor issues just due to it clearly sitting at a good pressure until off throttle, in the attached can see a 3rd and 4th gear pull but can even perform great through 3 and 4 gears of WOT but still once off throttle and getting back on it will see pressure drop.
    • There are a few different ways of doing it. I'm currently running two 1000cc pre-TB nozzles and PWM the pump for control. I'll be moving over to a constant pressure system and direct port. I'll run the pump off a regular relay, have it cycle on roughly 5psi before I start injecting to build pressure and then PWM a WMI solenoid (It's basically an injector that can take a lot of pressure and not corrode with water and meth.) The solenoid feeds the 6 direct port ~200cc nozzles. I'll also keep one ~250cc pre-TB nozzle to help keep IAT's in check.  Safety will be a little different as well. I used to use a pressure switch but will be moving over to a pressure sensor between my solenoid and nozzles. I'll trigger my solenoid and if I don't see specific pressure within a specific timeframe (e.g 100psi within a second, 175psi within 2 seconds), I kill it and revert back to non WMI maps the same way I did it before with 4D in Haltech. I was just figuring out the timers in my ecu last night. They made that a little more complicated than I would have liked... I wish Haltech offered a larger set of logic/math functions like other ecu's do. I can't do very much with just AND's and OR's.  I've been asked to do fuel/ignition mapping on a medium bore engine at work in May (192L V16). Being the only programmer in my region and having went and opened my mouth about knowing the ins and outs of fuel/ignition mapping, I have now been deemed an expert. Fun fun. The entirety of the logic and algorithms are programmed in C on a PLC. As I spend more time figuring it all out, I like what I see and eventually I may consider doing the same as a pet project to replace my ecu.   
    • This would be interesting, would you feed it via a 2nd row of injectors? Or just usual WMI nozzles?
