First off if this has been mentioned or answered somewhere else im sorry I wasnt able to find it.

But here is my problem, I have a 1995 R33 GTS4. Lately as I go over 60km/hr or if i accelerate hard the slip light will go on and my car will whine and pull to the left. This happens on anything from windy to perfectly straight roads and seems to happen worst when im turning right. Its not a constant thing it just happens on and off but relatively frequently over 60k's. To me it feels like the traction control is just fighting itself and just always wants to turn left, but that being said I know very little about cars and could be horribly wrong, Someone please tell me whats up! :P

Cheers

So no one got any ideas? Im desperately trying to find out because whatever it is destroys my front diff slowly and im not really keen to run with poor handling and forking out for new difs every now and then. so if anyones got a fixable option going on id love to hear it!!!! that I would be fine with putting money towards

You've probably got a dud sensor. I'm not sure if the TCS system use the same sensors as HICAS (or even if the GTS4 has HICAS), but if it does, then you could have a situation where the steering angle sensor is broken (or maybe you have an aftermarket steering wheel on it that doesn't drive the steering angle sensor properly) and both systems are going into panic. Or maybe it's a G sensor fault. Or one of several other sensors like the wheel speed sensors. What you need to do is look up the procedures for putting all your systems into diagnostic mode and find out what codes they think they have. Hopefully you get a nice clear code out of one of them and can then go fix it.

Other simple things can be oil level in the ATTESSA system.

cheers

Well for anyone out there wanting to know, I am an idiot. After recently buying a set of 4 brand new tyres and putting them onto my car, the problem has solved. When I bought the car it had 215 65 R15 at the front and then 205 65 R15 at the back. I bought 4 205 65 R15's and now that theyre all even no slip light, no handling problems, no weird noise, no pull, nothing. it works like a normal car

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
