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?

    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
    • yeah, there's a country that recently started importing Skylines, I blame them.
    • I don't have a printer, but could at least attempt to make a printable model.
