I'm assuming you're tuned on Ecutek? Did you have the adjustable traction control map installed?

JARblue · 08-20-2019, 09:36 AM

$350 for a new starter motor

think it's safer to save up at the moment vs spending.

Yes, I am not sure on traction control. I just turn off the factory traction control and let her eat. I am trying to learn all the Ecuteck features.
Haven't really needed it.

The factory traction control sucks, kills all the power. My 2017 didn't have enough maps available for the Ecutek ATC. I'm planning on having Seb set it up on my Nismo but I'm not sure how it works either. I think Hotrodz utilizes it, I'll have to ask him about it (if he remembers, it's been a while since he's driven his car).

Turnboff vdc and you can use your speed control button on the steering wheel to hijack the oil temp gauge to set the specific percentage of t/c you want. I have mine at about 75% right now. Helps when doing launch control.

I came from an age where I didn't have anything. It's not bothering me much just turning it off all together.

That's simple enough. Thanks for the info.
