Over the last few weeks gradually getting worse my R34 GTT has had an issue where I'll be slowly accelerating/cruising along and the car will hesitate for a second. It feels like when the TCS system kicks in and cuts the power but for a shorter time.

At first I was thinking it could be the CAS or something like that but last night whilst driving (with TCS turned OFF) it did it a few times and then the SLIP light came on and stayed on until I turned the car off & on again. I'm wondering if the TCS is for some reason malfunctioning.

(The car had splitfires installed approx 50,000km's ago as well as new platinum plugs)

Any ideas or similar situations?

Sorry for hijacking - this could help u if its not TCS related -

I had that infamous flat spot between 4700-5400 rpms, the car would also hesitate for a sec in fifth gear around 3rps when booting it, although my TCS doesnt work at all - no light on dash at all.

Changed to 0.8mm gapped NGK copper plugs, left my standard coils in. No change to above problem.

Then yesterday after reading a few bits on SAU, I reset my ECU - take off the battery terminals, stab the brake pedal a few times (brake light on/off) to drain off all the charge, then re-connect and go for a drive.

I'm just amazed to say after the ECU reset - the flatspot is almost completely GONE, not only that, the car feels so fresh, crisp and very quick to rev and GO!!

Took it to a workshop yesterday who pulled the error code for the AFM.

It was cleaned etc, drove it this morning and I didn't really feel the hesitation but the SLIP light once again came on.

Is it a symptom of a dying AFM? It just seems like two very different systems?

    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
