Hey guys I've just bought myself a 98 R34 GTT. Not I found a few little problems with the car but nothing major. The one thing that's got me is the TCS system doesn't seem to work at all???

I've checked the boot for and mods to the ECU , checked the plug and it's plugged in. I'm just lost at what next. The car breaks traction all the time and I have no slip light at all on the dash board. Not even with ign on

All the plugs are plugged up to the butterfly near the TB.

Please any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

The traction control system sucks hard, and just slams the throttle shut. Disabling it is a smart thing to do.

Making it work again is a waste of time.

Get better tyres, drive better.

How much power is it making?

Please check your ECU fault codes and report back. Instructions here, scroll down for a pic of which pins to short: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/266512-reading-nissan-fault-codes-ecu-fault-codes-how-read-them/

I'm currently getting Code 17: ABS-TCS C/U Signal. My TCS never worked since the manual conversion but the ABS is fine.

TCS and SLIP lights are on in the dash too, along with A/T and HICAS because they no longer exist...

Should also state that all it really does is put a 2nd throttle to 60% max throttle. I was able to break traction pretty easily with stock power with the traction control on

Fresh avatar Greg? And yes you're right it's not the most sophisticated system is it...

No. Fault codes are read from the dash light. I don't know what light they use in a 34 - it could be a dedicated CEL. I have my Neo in an R32 so I have the cat light as the CEL.

The best way to read the codes is to use a Consult scanner plugged into the Consult port. More to the point.....the best way to read codes on any of the control units in the car is through the Consult port. If you have a buggered sensor (say the steering angle sensor) then you cannot execute the routine required to put the HICAS CU into diagnostic mode. So you can't find out that you've got a buggered sensor. See the fault in Nissan's logic with the silly dances you have to do to enter diag modes? Scanners cut right through that crap.

Resetting the ECU is a simple case of leaving it without power for a while.

A lot of people actually remove dashbulbs to mask hardware faults that bring up the lights. ABS/TCS, being as optional as they are, would be the biggest candidates.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
