Hey guys/girls, my traction control system cannot be turned off... The switch below left of the steering wheel will not turn on and off!!!

The switch itself pushes back when i press down on it so it won't click into another mode

What should i do?

Thanks in advance

before you go thinking it is the switch.. maybe you should check the light isnt blown in the dash first!!! when you push the TCS button it will go back to the same position.. it doesnt click over.. which is stupid casue then TCS is on when you turn on the car.. as Howie has said PM 666dan and he has the controller box to have TCS off when the car starts.. however this will mean you cannnot turn on TCS if you wish.. assuming the switch is gone.. but first i would check/replace the bulb first (also 666dan can help with these too lol) as it will be cheapest to check

ok, so this is my understanding so far... At the moment i think that the switch is playing games, however, the slip and tcs light come on when i either launch the car hard or take a coner too fast. (this is after i've pushed the switch)

so, possibly the TCS is turned off, but i don't notice any difference, the car still oversteers and wants to correct itself

the TCS and Slip light comes on when i start the car up

Any other coments are welcomed, Thanks guys

If you've pressed the tcs off button but no 'tcs off' dash light comes on, then when you go for hard driving and the slip and tcs lights flash then I'd say it's just your button rooted and your tcs system working fine, your button is not letting you turn it off.

You TCS and SLIP lights are designed to light up when you're in ON on your ignition barrel before you start the car, just like the check engine lights,abs etc. so no problems with the bulb.

Once TCS is off your car behaves incredibly different, I think the TCS is 'too' effective for my liking, it will suck your power at the very hint of wheel spin rather than cut in when you really need it.

Although it does help in the rain when you take off, I don't launch my car like a d*ckhead but even in heavy rain when I just want to take off you're sitting there for a second or two spinning the wheels before it takes off, not a drama with TCS on :(

yeah i've got a brass button clutch (will get rid of when i can afford) and it doesnt help at all in the rain.. i need tcs off in the rain to get moving lol

if your tcs and slip lights come on maybe you should look into why they come on.. i think this is caused by faulty coil packs.. try a search as it was covered when i was looking for why my slip light kept goin off.. although my prob was just the clutch me thinks..

when tcs kicks in you should have limited power and ur slip light should flash.. my tcs light never came on when it did this.. others who had tcs and slip come on and was given the advice to get coil packs replaced.. once again search to find out..

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
