So It Begins (the Mods)

got the car back today.

first, Its much much louder than stock.

2nd. I ran vdc in R mode and I couldnt apply much more than 50% throttle in 1st gear and 80% throttle in 2nd gear. VDC kicks in.

then with vdc off its pretty much the same deal.

I cannot get more than about .8 Gs in first gear.. 2nd gear i managed to get .9 before vdc.

3rd. I get a warning light on the dash after about 20 mins of driving... reset ecu... warning light again in 20 mins.

thoughts? ideas?

to taclke the vdc issue im thinking of getting wider/softer tyres. Im a little annoyed I cant even get the standard 1g in first gear like a stock gtr..

guys, any particular things to keep in mind when trying to run with VDC off. sounds like there is more to it than switching it off at the panel from the above post?

I will be running the latest COBB stage 2 tune at the track with 20 inch toyos tomorrow (which are on their last legs I reckon) and was going to run VDC off as I think it is occasionally cutting in more frequently than previous when giving it a bootful on the street

Did you sort out this VDC issue (traction control with VDC off) because if yuo are saying you have issues with VDC off and 50% throttle, something is very wrong, i have never heard of this before. Would like to know the cause/outcome. Almost sounds like mismatched tyre diameter.

edit: this didnt arise on the dyno?

hey,

No.. there were no problems on the dyno what so ever.

The guys called martin (willall) and we did a sequence of turn car on, vdc off, car off. bla bla.. cant remember.. I dont know if its a coincedience but it seems i can go full throttle now with no issues with vdc off... it still kicks in when its on and sometimes it will kick in when in R mode. also tested in wet and the wheels spun without traction nicely.

other issue is o2 sensors are gettign too hot, causing error on dash.. HKS have heard of this issue a few times and have made a fix.. getting this sorted this week.

car is completely stock apart from gt600 kit, bigger fmic and trans cooler (stock rims etc)
