Hey guys I've just bought myself a 98 R34 GTT. Not I found a few little problems with the car but nothing major. The one thing that's got me is the TCS system doesn't seem to work at all???

I've checked the boot for and mods to the ECU , checked the plug and it's plugged in. I'm just lost at what next. The car breaks traction all the time and I have no slip light at all on the dash board. Not even with ign on

All the plugs are plugged up to the butterfly near the TB.

Please any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

The traction control system sucks hard, and just slams the throttle shut. Disabling it is a smart thing to do.

Making it work again is a waste of time.

Get better tyres, drive better.

How much power is it making?

Please check your ECU fault codes and report back. Instructions here, scroll down for a pic of which pins to short: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/266512-reading-nissan-fault-codes-ecu-fault-codes-how-read-them/

I'm currently getting Code 17: ABS-TCS C/U Signal. My TCS never worked since the manual conversion but the ABS is fine.

TCS and SLIP lights are on in the dash too, along with A/T and HICAS because they no longer exist...

Should also state that all it really does is put a 2nd throttle to 60% max throttle. I was able to break traction pretty easily with stock power with the traction control on

Fresh avatar Greg? And yes you're right it's not the most sophisticated system is it...

No. Fault codes are read from the dash light. I don't know what light they use in a 34 - it could be a dedicated CEL. I have my Neo in an R32 so I have the cat light as the CEL.

The best way to read the codes is to use a Consult scanner plugged into the Consult port. More to the point.....the best way to read codes on any of the control units in the car is through the Consult port. If you have a buggered sensor (say the steering angle sensor) then you cannot execute the routine required to put the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode. So you can't find out that you've got a buggered sensor. See the fault in Nissan's logic with the silly dances you have to do to enter diag modes? Scanners cut right through that crap.

Resetting the ECU is a simple case of leaving it without power for a while.

A lot of people actually remove dashbulbs to mask hardware faults that bring up the lights. ABS/TCS, being as optional as they are, would be the biggest candidates.

      Certainly. It is probably broken under the wire style clamp. At least that one is easier to get at than the front one.   Sounds like it isn't a major leak, I'd start with backing off the the water feed and return banjos into the turbos half a turn then tightening properly. Hardlines can still crack over time, either in the tube (particularly when turbos are changed if the banjo is siezed in the the tube) or at the brazed joins between the lines and the banjo fittings. A coolant system pressure test will reveal all. BTW you'd be able to get a sump without exchange, it will just cost more as they will have to source another stock one for the next customer. If you want to address the sump a much better option is something like this https://www.hioctanedirect.com/hi-octane-racing-sump-extension-nissan-rb26 that you weld in locally (and add the oil return fittings at the same time)

      Pretty sure you are thinking of the throwout bearing there (which you should change when you change your clutch), when they are worn they will get quieter if you put your foot on the clutch. An input shaft bearing is turning/noisy at all times.

      I’ll have more of a look into Recaros over the weekend. It’s taken me 2 days to figure out which Bride seats suit my application haha.

      I am aware of their presence, but the product page looked like that conversion will eliminate the AWD capability. Fact remains it's kind of a hassle to send my oil sump halfway around the world and buying an extra one is expensive and unnecessary. Before I go hat route I'd explore more local options.    Would you recommend I just pull the engine and renew as many things as possible since I'm already having problems with some leaks? Would have to get an engine crane first though.

      Are there any indicators that the vehicle is in limp mode?  Any dash light, or something.  Or is it just lack of acceleration?
