LarryR Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hello all, I have not had my 350z a week yet however, I took her out on a long corner which tightens and kept it at a constant speed but all of a sudden the front left wheel (I was turning right) starting to break by itself. the T/C was on so I thought maybe this is it? am I right or is there something I should be worried about?

marzman Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/4061-has-my-350z-got-esp/ Sounds like your ESP. In fairness though, in almost 6 years of Zed ownership, my ESP only kicked in once - when i was on track at Donnington. So either you were seriously pushing on or you've got crappy tyres??

As Marzman said it was the stability control kicking in not the traction control. Turning the traction control off using the button on the dash does NOT make any difference to that. That only limits the power to the rear wheels when slip/wheelspin is detected. The Traction control is very intrusive on the Zed and for that reason I had mine off all the time. The Stability control is not and will only kick in when it is really needed. As has been said, you must have been pushing very hard, or have poor tyres and/or hit a slippery patch on the road for it to kick in. I used to drive my Zed pretty spiritedly. I only ever got that once, on track, and I had over cooked it and was about to understeer off the track - it saved me. If your getting that kicking in on the road, I'd either take a look at your tyres or slow down. Either way, it probably saved you that day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88 Zed Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Mine dose this with the traction control on, but I had different make tyres front and back and put it down to this. Saying that, aren't there a few different types of traction / stability control fitted to the different spec zeds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
