Just recently bought an 1995 GTS-4 which is going well except the slip light likes to come on from time to time even whilst going straight and try to pull the car left. I dont mean to sound ignorant but what's going on and how can i fix it. its a bloody pain :P Am i able to disengage it or fix it?

Its AWD, the slip light means its enabling FWD because it thinks the rear is losing traction. The pull to the left could be torque steer?

Check the yuor front/rear and side to side tyres are the same dimensions and your wheels are aligned correctly.

Hey cheers checking the tyres, but what confused me the most is that the light will come on and it'll steer to the left even at 50k when im not speeding or accelerating just driving normally?

Cheers I put it in neutral and it will sometimes go away but not all the time? ive been hoping on the DIY method but I have a feeling im not going to get very far and should just get it checked well in a garage to save it!

If there was a problem the ECU in the boot will flash a red L.E.D when a fault is found, check in the boot under the rear parcel shelf. The thing is the slip light is not a warning light for a fault and the 4WD light is your warning light for the system. If it is it will flash a series of slow 1 second flashes, pause for 2 seconds then followed by a series of fast 0.5 second L.E.D flashes.

E.G. 1..1..1..1..1..1..1 .... 1.1.1.1.1.1 76 means Throttle Position Sensor fault.

Because its the slip light it wont bring a fault up. I think it may just come down to a wheel alignment and balance, It is a very sensitive system and something like uneven tyre pressures can cause the slip light to come on.

Well my front diff has recently blown itself, after some heartbreaking talks to the mechanic it will live and it looks like the new diff may also solve the problem aswell meaning that it was the diff that had been playing up to make the weird sound? haven't yet got it back so i can't prove the theory but would be nice to know I could fix the too problems in one. I may have stumbled upon the answer to this ridiculous slip light problem

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
