Tcs Off And Slip Light Both On

[AcoustiK]

Guys,

I have a problem with the TCS off and SLIP light turning on and the engine shuddering (sounds like a WRX and goes jerky as like the TCS system is engaged) on my R34 GTT. This happens on only a more rare occasion 1 in 10 starts and usually you would turn the car off and leave it for some time and start and the problem would go away. Would anyone know what is kind of the problem?

Just wondering if anybody else experienced this before on their car.

Cheers,

Where abouts is the coil pack within the engine bay and whats the best way to find out which ones gone bad. Is it worth taking to a garage to look at, and how much was it to replace?

the coils are situated under the coil cover in between the rocker covers. if you arent mechanically minded or capable take it to a garage as it is a bit of a hastle to get to with the r34. But if you know your way around a skyline engine bay it is a 1 hr job.

To find which one you have to disconnect each and every one separatly start the car and see which one has no effect when you disconnect it.

ie the engine still runs the same if you find the faulty one and runs even rougher if you disconnect waorking one.

Yeah i think i know where it is, Need to get unlucky when starting the car to get that problem happening, otherwise it will run as fine.

How much was one coil to replace anyway?

1 coil brand new costs about 200 from nissan. You can get a second hand one for between 50 - 100 from a wrecker. Ulitmately getting a set of brand new splitfires would be the best around 600 from nengun i think.

the problem is only intermitant at the moment thats how mine started off soon it will happening all the time. sounds heaps bad hey??

nengun only sell coilpacks for r32/r33 s1 rb engines, modyourcar.com has them for about $900 or theres a group buy going which would bring the price down to about $750.

Question, why does this problem only really seem to happen to r34 gt-t's?

[mad34]

are you sure that nengun only sells splitfires for 32/33?

email them and ask i am sure he will source some for you. other wise try greenline.jp

i dont know why its just r34?? could be because of that stupid cover keeping the heat in or maybe because they bolt straight onto head rather than a plate like with the r33? and that heats up more i dont know but it sucks

[RyanN]

if nengun had them for $600 that would be awesome, however i just double checked and the site has them only for 32s/32 gtr/and r33 s1. i will email and ask if hes got them for r34s at a decent price.

Cool, let me know how it goes for the R34, hard finding second hand ones, I rang up RevZone down at nunawading and they reckon they have it and sell it for 110.

If worse comes to worse then i'll get it from them.

If you're in Syd, I have some stock coilpacks.
