Hey guys,

It's been a while since posting on this forum but I'm glad SAU is always there for you when there's a problem. As stated in the topic title, the SLIP light blinks occassionally (but not for very long) even with the TCS is off. I didn't think too much of it until one day my car just stalled on the highway whilst driving normally. I thought it might be either the spark plugs or the coil packs, but I want to be more certain with the help of your opinion on this. By the way, I did not feel any missfiring yet. To me, it sounds more like the coil packs because I didn't think the SLIP light would blink if it was the spark plugs. But I could be wrong as always...

Thanks in advanced guys!

I was just confused with theslip/tcs flashing threads that were posted previously. My TCS was turned off when the SLIP light flashed, however, TCS light was steady and not flashing with the other. So would this be a different case or is this circumstance exactly what the other threads were talking about but I just misunderstood?

I just didn't get any of those rough idling or misfiring so I thought maybe it might just be bad spark plugs (which would of been a cheaper fix than the coilpacks).

      Short shifter r34

      Don't do it if your gearbox box has already having syncro issues. The short hifter will put a greater load on them. If you must I remember Nismo did a shorter shifter, with the top part being physically shorter and the part that went into the gearbox was the same as stock. In saying that I've had a C's short shifter (I think) in mine for many years, which was given to me as the previous owner was not sympathetic to the gearbox. Thus forwarned I was careful and had to modify my normal changing style. You have to be super accurate with your clutch and shifts

      Well, after a week of daily driving and having to crawl out between the wheel and the side intrusion bars. I got myself a quick release setup. I went with an NRG short hub and Quick Release with some cute heart cutouts on the pull tabs. Nice and matchy matchy with the rest of the interior accents I have going on.  The only downside is the total stack height even with the short adapter is longer than the old HKB boss kit. Luckily I had some adjustment left on the column so move the wheel away.

      stock shifter with new bushes, springs and cup will improve it. Gktech do all the bits. The opinion as the years have gone on is the redline is not great in old gearboxes.

      Hi all   what short shifter do you use on your skykine r34?   my synchronous does have a problem and i was getting huge delay and grinding sound between 2nd and 3rd, did put shockproof red heavy stuff and it is great now/ no issues   would in your view short shifter screw this up?   people seems to suggest/ use cube short shifter and there is standard and premium. Seen review of premium as much better and less play. Thoughts?

      R34 oil and timing belt change

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, there's a bit of a density and friability difference between pebbles and any of those other things. Silicone will definitely float in oil and so will be mobile enough to move around. Although, again, if it is upstream of the filter it really shouldn't go any further. I would only ever worry about silicone when it is in places downstream of the filter. Upstream of the pickup is a whole 'nother matter. We've all seen what that does. I have seen the most abominable crap settled out in industrial gearboxes, trunnion lube systems and the like, without any sign that any of it has touched anything in the machine. Just chilling in the bottom, waiting for the inevitable operator error that causes the whole machine to need to be dismantled for repairs.
