if anyone wants xenons in the r34, contact Nathan at Grey Imports, 9519 5150, he converts most of the r34 headlights from xenon for compliance, and I'm sure he can help you out.

so have ur 'TCS Off' and 'SLIP' lights sorted themselves out? - i just took my car for a spin (after about 1 week) and got engine light and the 2 TCS lights, ran like shit for a while, pretty lumpy and rough, but bout 10 mins more driving and it was smooth as again. I was doing the whole turning off and on thing as well. Didn't work but then after a few mins driving, tried it again and the engine light went off.... bit more driving, off/on - and then the TCS lights are off.

According to the manual, when the 'TCS OFF' and 'SLIP' lights are BOTH on, it means the Traction Control is 'temporarily unavailable'.

My car is a manual by the way... so you've had no more TCS light problems?

yeah mines all sorted out...it was a wrong fuse in place....stereo installer stuffed up...causing the ecu to register all kinds of errors when hooked up to the nissan consult machine. With ur problem, definately bring it in to a nissan dealer, let them hook it up to the consult machine and go from there.....

been in Malaysia for a week and a bit, just took the car out then and i couldn't get any of the TCS or Engine lights to disappear, sounds like it's missing a bit.

With the 'bring it to nissan dealer' there is slight problem as it's not rego'd so i can't actually drive it anywhere. I guess i could get a temp rego, but then the drive to the dealer, the car wouldn't be insured... a little risky. A mate of mine told me to disconnect the battery terminals overnight... so i'm going to try that (gotta search for how to do that) - but yeah, if not... will have to get Nissan to take a look.

how do u get into diagnostic mode for 34's?

cheers,

daniel.

You need to short the circuit for 2 of the pins in the diagnostic port.

Do a search you'll find all you need to know about it.

Sounds like your coil packs are on their way out.

Run the diagnostic and see if it says ignition circuit failure.

i don't know if the problems simular but TCS, Slip and Check engine would come on randomly when driving long distances (about 15km), i checked out the engine with the car running and found a huge leak in a vacume line running to the vacume sensor (the little thing tucked away next the brake cylinder). After a quick repair job, the boost gauge now shows vacume but most importantly the TCS problem seems to have gone! I can only suggest checking every vacume line in the engine bay, since a vacume leak or low revs can trigger the 'check engine' light.

i really don't know much about engines, so a vacuum leak i'm guessing it's not going to be leaking a fluid anywhere... what exactly are the steps involved in checking the vacuum lines? where do i look? cheers...

Well i disconnected the -ve terminal over night (should i have disconnected both terminals?) and took the car out bout 1 hour ago, so prob got about 20 hours of having the -ve not connected. Ran smooth for a bit, no lights, then after about 5 mins, TCS and Engines lights both came back on and then the car started to ran a bit rough, lumpier idle, not sure if it's missing a bit...

coil packs? my car is a manual, does it still have coil packs?

not from Malaysia, just have family there. born here, half australia, half chinese.

hehehe, well i did some searches, and from some threads here it just said 'negative'...

fine, i'll do both :)... try this again... :rofl: - dude, i'm a total newb with this car thing, i wasn't sure how to disconnect the terminals! just happened i had a spanner to fit the nut on the terminals...

what do you think about this whole pumping brake thing?

and if disconnected both terminals doesn't fix it? Take it to a dealer?

i left the engine running and happen to hear a whistle which turned out to be the vacume leak, i was lucky to hear it but some leaks you can't here and would need to visually inspect the hoses and their connections. However the bad news is that it didn't exactly fix the problem, it still does it but not as regulary as it did.

well took the car out a little while ago for about 15-20 mins, after having BOTH terminals disconnected over night, and she ran fine. No lights at all, no scooby moments, ran smooth.

I don't know if it because of both terminals being disconnected, or just happened to run ok... but it's fine for the moment.

that looks awesome. I've got this little ass laptop from when i was a at school, Toshiba Portege, small as anything (cos everything is external) but would fit in the glovebox, so the Nissan Consult thing looks awesome...

Troy, as far as i know, car has never been jumped... oh wait, the compliancer did say they had to change the battery cos the original one was flat, so if they did that, that means someone would have had to discover the fact it was flat and maybe jump it at some stage. Why do you ask if it's been jumped?

and do Manuals have coil packs? all the coil pack stuff i've been reading at in regards to 34's seems to be with auto's???

i'll take the car out again tonight and see if it does it again.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
