First off if this has been mentioned or answered somewhere else im sorry I wasnt able to find it.

But here is my problem, I have a 1995 R33 GTS4. Lately as I go over 60km/hr or if i accelerate hard the slip light will go on and my car will whine and pull to the left. This happens on anything from windy to perfectly straight roads and seems to happen worst when im turning right. Its not a constant thing it just happens on and off but relatively frequently over 60k's. To me it feels like the traction control is just fighting itself and just always wants to turn left, but that being said I know very little about cars and could be horribly wrong, Someone please tell me whats up! :P

Cheers

So no one got any ideas? Im desperately trying to find out because whatever it is destroys my front diff slowly and im not really keen to run with poor handling and forking out for new difs every now and then. so if anyones got a fixable option going on id love to hear it!!!! that I would be fine with putting money towards

You've probably got a dud sensor. I'm not sure if the TCS system use the same sensors as HICAS (or even if the GTS4 has HICAS), but if it does, then you could have a situation where the steering angle sensor is broken (or maybe you have an aftermarket steering wheel on it that doesn't drive the steering angle sensor properly) and both systems are going into panic. Or maybe it's a G sensor fault. Or one of several other sensors like the wheel speed sensors. What you need to do is look up the procedures for putting all your systems into diagnostic mode and find out what codes they think they have. Hopefully you get a nice clear code out of one of them and can then go fix it.

Other simple things can be oil level in the ATTESSA system.

cheers

Well for anyone out there wanting to know, I am an idiot. After recently buying a set of 4 brand new tyres and putting them onto my car, the problem has solved. When I bought the car it had 215 65 R15 at the front and then 205 65 R15 at the back. I bought 4 205 65 R15's and now that theyre all even no slip light, no handling problems, no weird noise, no pull, nothing. it works like a normal car
