A computer won't find it, I assume the metal ring the sensor picks up is damaged. If it's the front, it isn't the same as the awd Stagea pickup, this is your rwd sensor, the front one seems to be built into the wheel bearing.

I see. So this sensor will correspond to the brakes applying on cornering?

Ill be thorough and get the computer check regardless to rule out the ABS system and i will get them to check the sensor. It does it to both wheels though, not just the left one.

Those sensors and pickups are the only feedback the ABS computer gets from the wheels. If a front wheel has fallen off and the hub dragged down the road, that is the side I would be checking over thoroughly.

Back to square one!!

Scans came back clear. Front radius arm bushes are shagged but he said doesn't cause my problem. Speed sensors and steering adjustment AOK.

Just putting the feelers out...can you guys attack corners and sweeping bends in a spirited run?

My other friends V35 does very similar but not as often as mine.

Apparently the yaw control kicks in when the front wheels are about to go.

My friends VE had loose brake pads up front and his did the same thing as mine. That is my next step, new brake pads. I will also switch back to the old wheels and then see how i go.

I remember when i first bought this car and drove chain of ponds in SA, i could thrash it, no steering problem.

Very frustrating!!!

Anything that could cause the car to turn more or less than it should for the steering input will trigger VDC.

Compression rod bushes could do this is they are bad enough.

I've competed at Collingrove hillclimb numerous times in a 350GT coupe - factory springs & shocks & whiteline swaybars - and never had anything like what you are describing. I reckon you could call it a spirited run.

I do turn VDC off before each run - tried it once with VDC on and it cut power as I went into the first corner.

SOLVED!!!

What year is yours?

I think the problem may lie with aggressive VDC in the 03 models. There is a Yaw sensor underneath the cup holders. I unplugged that after a bit of research and WALA! I just drove through the hills with no problems what so ever! Slip and VDC OFF remain lit up, but if that's all it takes then I'm all for that.

I will mock up a little rocker switch for on and off control soon.

It is amazing to be able to drive "spirited" again.

Wow!

Well it depends on what the mechanic means with 'front radius arm', I am assuming he is talking about the lower control arm or compression rod?? Since you have had the lower control arm bushes changed, I can only assume he is talking about the compression rod bushes which are also a common problem on these cars.

VDC on my 05 will not bother me unless a wheel actually slips. It is quite sensitive and as soon as you get even the slightest bit of slip it will kick in and correct it. However, I have never had VDC kick in without first feeling or hearing some slip.

That said, the rear on my car is a bit too happy to kick out, especially in the wet and the VDC often has to catch it.

Traction control is not the same as VDC, although some do confuse the 2.

TC only keeps your driven tyres from spinning when excess throttle is applied.

VDC monitors steering wheel angle, individual wheel speed and a Yaw/G sensor attached in the middle of the car, and if it detects any loss of control it can cut engine power and apply brakes to individual wheels to correct it.

wow learned something new today lol

    • I just got to work and skimmed through 61508 and 61511. I was surprised the CSA adopted both, but neither are enforced. To recap what I read, it states that in a perfect world, they should be segregated but they acknowledge that this is not industry standard and clearly mention that they allow mixing of safety and non-safety. 61511 also mentions software segregation like AB does in their safety PLC's.   Now if only I could go back to control, let alone safety over comms. In my current line of work, we're only allowed monitoring and basic control over comms. Everything critical must still be hard wired as much as possible. 
    • I've unfortunately never been as they're on the complete other side of the continent and another country that isn't currently letting us in as easily as they use to. I even heard their stop signs over there actually say "Stop" instead of "Arret". If I decided to trek the 48h drive, I wouldn't know when or where to stop haha. Whenever I order parts from UP Garage, I order from Japan as it's cheaper. Same with GKTech... oddly enough, it's cheaper shipped from Australia then it is the US.  UP Garage Japan operates their US leg though, unlike Tomei. If Tomei JPN had the power to close down Tomei USA, I'm sure it would be done in a day. They're two completely separate entities. Tomei JPN messed up somewhere originally agreeing to its creation and got sacked big time. 
    • I asked someone about this and he told me about the Audi 1.8T engine. But I think it would be difficult to swap
    • I don't know that machine specifically, but I'd personally go for something with a little more kick than 130amp. Around up to 180 would be good. At the 6mm range, you're really pushing the machine hard and don't have a long period you can run for with out needing to give it a rest. Lots of MIG machines come with a regulator and hose. A lot will come with a starter roll of wire too, but it isn't too expensive to buy. I'd recommend NOT buying a massive roll too, as you don't want it sitting around FOREVER in the machine between uses and potentially going to shit. For thin sheet metal, get a roll of 0.6mm if you're doing over 3mm and above, switch over to 0.8mm wire. Even by 2mm you'd probably really want to switch. As for gas battle, it's all swap and go style now. You'll pay a bottle deposit, and then X amount to swap for a full one. I think it's like $200 or $300 for a D Size bottle upfront as "deposit", and like $110 to $150 per swap. My D size CO2/argon bottle lasts a fair bit of welding on the MIG. And I run an E size bottle on the TIG. For DIY MIG, stick with a D size bottle. If you really start to get into a LOT of welding and doing it really regularly, then upgrade. If you're like most DIY car guys, one D bottle will last you 2 or 3 years easily. I think I've been on my current bottle about 5 years. It is starting to get low, but I've been smashing it a lot more the last 6 months.
    • SR20s came with cars like the Bluebird and Primera, but the RB20 never came. The ones in Turkey were either brought in specially or from abroad. That's why RBs aren't as common as SRs. And if a part breaks or I need to replace it when doing maintenance, it's harder to find parts for RBs.
