Hi,

I got a problem with my GTS-4 and I'm hoping someone out there might know whats going on.

Its a problem with the cars Traction Control System.

Basically, when i go into a left hand corner at speed and the traction control is required, there is a shudder when the atessa system kicks in. The car shakes a bit and it can be felt through the steering wheel, it almost feels like the left wheel is seizing up or something.

The car has just had a major service, i told the mechanic about the problem and he seemed to think that changing the fluid that the traction control needs and bleeding the lines might fix it. It didn't.

Anyway if anyone knows of such a problem a reply would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your time. :burnout:

Thanks for your help everyone!!!!!

I went to Advan and they weren't even sure what it was but i suggested changing the diff oil like everyone here was saying and its now all SWEET!!

What would i do without skylinesaustralia or my Skyline for that matter!!

Thanks Again....

Simon

Don't know what type of oil it was that was used, whatever Advan use i guess, it came up as high quality diff oil on the reciept.

The car took 1.5 litres.

The cost of the oil and half an hour labor from Advan was: $68.00.

It didn't work straight away, it took a day to get the oil through the diff, but now the traction control feels better than ever.

Thanks again for your help everyone.

Cheers,

Simon

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
