The ecu controls the throttle, that is definitely traction control. I wish I could rip mad skids like the rb guys. :(

Your tyres aren't worn differently or the pressures different? Do you have a spare set of wheels you could try? Could be diff windup.

You bloody do mate!

it did it on the other wheels too (the other stock wheels :D) yeah i guess there is THAT traction control which we all hate :(

same tyre pressures! i cleaned - well, sprayed the TPS - today so ill see how it goes on the way to work tomorrow.

ive never experienced any vibration in mine as the 4wd motor is f@$ked and the 4wd light has been on since day one.

so there is a good chance what you are experiencing is transfer or front diff related.

apparently there is something inside the torque converter that can cause a vibration when its worn out. commodores and other such cars suffer it a lot im told.

im HOPING to take it to be fixed either this week or next

Dominator had never seen a converter like mine before, ther wanted $1500 to make me a replacement high stall. I hope you are taking it to a professional Iain.

im taking it to the dealer where it came from (for warranty) and they are taking it to an auto transmission place. the guy at the trans place sounded like he knew what he was on about so i dont feel worried taking it there.

Isn't it basically the same as the 350Z auto, with a transfer case stuck on the end? Or maybe even more similar to the Model Year 2000 odd Pathfinder, as their 4wd is ATTESA like ours..

I guess not too many 350's putting out that many ponies run the auto box. The valve body had to be imported too, although I have heard they are available here now.

The issue was they were just built too lightweight so cant be machined out at all to open the vanes. How much are they covering Iain? You putting a shift kit in while you are there?

no idea as yet, i have to speak to the boss man. and he doesnt like paying for things.

this was originally diagnosed within the 3 month warranty before the extended warranty. they just never fixed it for the 4 times they 'fixed' it.

so ill fight to the death with this one.

shift kit? no. at this stage i just want the car fixed. i can do the shift kit later. i dont want to complicate things further

    • +1. Good thing is people wont tailgate you for a while
    • If you have a RB25DET NEO AWD motor, you will need this: https://www.hioctanedirect.com/ASR-RB26-RWD-Street-Comp-6.5L-Sump-Suit-R32/33/34-and-VL It is made for the AWD motor, but makes it fit a RWD setup and gives you a new pickup. Just one thing, the pickup sits quite forward, compared to a conventional RB25DET RWD motor. This may or may not have contributed to my previous AWD -> RWD shitting the bed at the track.
    • My car is also flex tuned. It's worth mentioning it (the LS1 ECU) has a 1D table for E85 addition and just uses the ethanol stoich part as the second point of reference. It also as a 3D timing map for Ethanol adjustment. You would think this isn't enough but it works pretty damn well. That said, I wouldn't want it in turbo application. It's like lifting non-natty, or taking meth. It gets you unrealistic results that break down more things going forward. If people used it to make the same amount of power they do on 98 then it'd be one thing. But people use it, crank it up to eleventy million PSI, it doesn't knock - but it pushes the point of failure to another, more expensive thing to break. Every time I see someone make 280kw on 98 and 350kw on E85 on the same equipment I just cry a bit and really wish they would just stay on 98 in that exact scenario. It's bad for you. 
    • This is kind of what I was thinking but the temp sender wire and the two pressure switch wires run through the starter subharnes and I eliminated the two pressure switch wires completely.  @GTSBoy I have a can gauge with unusually bright warnings should the oil pressure fall so the factory light isn't needed. I need to dig out my wiring diagram and see if I can sort this out.
    • It's a valid point. And it is doable with the Nistune. But I'm not inclined to flex it the way Nistune does - certainly not on a Neo ECU. They're already pernickety enough to tune just one one fuel. And of course, I'm not that interested in putting in a Link or similar, on a daily. With the stock ECU, stock looking turbo, etc etc, I still stand a chance of surviving a run-in with the plod. Last time it went over the pits (which was for the transplant, for because of a run-in with the plod), the Nistuned ECU did not even raise an eyebrow. They want to see a stock ECU running the engine, and they are happy to see it do so without the check engine light** on. Never mind that the Nistune is necessary to make the stock ECU work in a different chassis without ABS, TCS, etc. **And they actually provoke the CEL to come on by disconnecting the AFM, to prove that the globe hasn't been pulled!
