Well when you have a switch like that it ussually is two driving modes, didnt know the 34 came with it but basically tunes the drive down in snow, or off in off, or launch mode if you have that option too.

Nothing fancy, most cars ive driven have that feature.

is it an auto??

snow mode in auto usually locks in a 2nd gear takeoff to try and prevent wheelspin

^^ what he said

on another note, if it's a n/a, I don't think it has traction control. hmmm wondering if anyone ever drives on everyday roads with TC off..

[GMan]

nope na doesnt have traction control. the snow button changes the gear ratios and said above, prevents wheelspin.

yup i drive with tc off everyday....don really like traction control much

from what i know non turbo came out with snow mode and turbo has TCS. dont think auto or manual made a difference. snow mode turned on only works on take off, in 2nd or 3rd (not sure which one) like said above to prevent wheel spin. U shud have a 'snow' light on the dash panel. TCS monitors a bunch of inputs and works continuously. shud have 'TCS' light when turned on and 'slip' light when slip is detected and starts working.

i dont think snow mode wud actually change gear ratios cauz thats like a teeth on gears. but it does sumhow manage to bog the engine down so power is cut a great deal.

correct me if im wrong, im a new onwer of a r34 so im also finding out alot of new things on the car.

thanx

Hi guys

Ive some questions pertaining to the AT snow switch. I have discovered theres no light on the dash to show if AT Snow when i flick the switch. Anyone knows what is the problem? How can i fix it?

Can I check what is the position of the swith when AT snow is switched off?

Secondly, i think the previous owner drove the car with the AT snow turned on as it was pretty sluggish till i toggled the switch. Will prolonged driving in AT snow mode damage the vehicle?

Thank you

thats one of the things i'd like to find out about also, prolonged driving with switch on, also is there any sort of speed limit u have to follow with it on.

turn ur ignition to reds and u shud see 'snow' light up in the right hand side cluster of warning lights (above engine temp gauge), regardless of the actual switch position. maybe ur globe is buggered behind there.

I think the globe has fused in my car...but do u know what is switch position when the AT snow feature is turned off? Thanks

[jvs007]
