Hey guys, I am hoping someone may know what is causing my issue. On occasion which is becoming more frequent the engine light will light up followed by the Traction control and slip lights. They stay on until i turn the car off. I have recently noticed a slight loss of power just before the lights come on but after that it runs fine. I get it serviced regularly and this is the only weird thing it does. Should i be concerned?

Checked for fault codes?

There's a diy thread about how to check them either in the general maintenance section or diy section. I would find the link for you but I'm on my iPhone. Shouldn't be too difficult to find!

I'm not sure of actual name of it but it appears next to my traction control button and has previously come up when i have lost traction (slipping). I have done some searching on google and some suggestions is it could have something to do with coilovers? I think i will just have to suck it up and go to the mechanic. I did look at the section for fault codes but i'm really not good with the technical side of stuff. Not to sure on if i want to play around with that. Thanks for the help.

    • 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.
