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

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
