hi guys, my tcs switch doesn't work, when i press the switch it doesn't turn off the TCS.

I just got my car back from mechanic as my car couldn't start guess some sensor broke down. The mechanic rewire sth so it could start but then when i push the TCS button the TSC OFF light is not showing up on the dash. I wonder what's wrong with it.

Also, i got this TCS off , SLIP and Engine warning light on and the engine seem to crank and keep misfiring. But when i turn off the car and start again they gone again. I wonder what's the problem? Is sth wrong with the coilpack? as i feel the engine cranks so much n keep misfiring when those light on.

Need advise from everyone. THanks!

rewired what exactly? i cant think of anything needing re wiring to fix a break down on a 34. what was the cause of the breakdown...

because my mate's car got smashed at the front and cause has not spark to start up his car. When he turned on the car the engine just cranking and no spark to start it. Therefore the mechanic rewire sth to make it start. Perhaps i should get him to talk to mechanic.

I do not think my TCS switch is working in my car either. Although mine hasn't had any rewiring done or anything. From reading this thread looks like there is a fuse so I'll go check all that now.

One question i have is how is the TCS Off switch meant to work do you just start the car and press the switch and then TCS off will come up on the display?

Also is the switch meant to be like a light switch wear you flick it and it stays there or like spring loaded kind of switch wear you press it and then it comes goes back to it's original position after pressing? Just asking as mine is like the spring loaded kind of switch

    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
    • Hmmm, interesting. Makes me wonder whether there is bias as well. It's the cheapest fuel, so it is used for all kinds of ill-maintained shitboxes which are bound to have issues regardless. Nicer cars tend to require higher octane rated fuel and can't use it anyway. FWIW, the official NSW E10 facts page is decent.
