RCZ's 370Z Journal.

Now my TC light and the TC Flicker light are turning on on the dash when I drive the car hard. The TC seems to be turning off completely on its own. I have a feeling its got something to do with my BRAKE light coming on when the cars weight shifts...as if it had low brake fluid in the res. Im going to order my rotors this weekend and have the brakes redone to see if that gets rid of the issue.

And I need to retighten everything in the exhaust. Seems like some bolts are loose. Lots of rasp/rattling and its hitting the cross member on bumps. I am sure I have an exhaust leak.

Yeah when the TC light stays on and disables itself, in my experience the TC has given up because some inputs seem mismatched to it. I've had it happen under two different conditions so far. Once when I re-attached the steering shaft incorrectly (steering wheel wasn't centered when wheels were centered), and another time when we forgot to turn off VDC before hitting the dyno (front wheels not moving at 100+ mph

). I can't imagine what could do that related to brakes though, unless there's an issue with one of your wheel-speed sensors.

Don't let it go very long, or you'll burn out a gasket like I did. If the gasket is still good retightening can save it.

Yeah, I'll get everything checked out next week when Im getting some stuff installed...

RCZ, check this out. Even though they have not reported yet after adding brake fluid, they have hit the same snag as you on the brake lights. You're not alone

.

Same as G37, the rebound is slightly different though.

You're going to need this sticker on your car after you lower your iy.

DannyGT · 05-27-2009, 03:26 PM

Nice! I would have liked to have purchased those but there was alot of confusion at the time and whether or not it would fit our cars properly....I am happy with BC tho, they made a good bang for the buck suspension, no doubt about that!

Good luck and ofcoarse, update us!
