MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Ian, TC has many functions, braking one or more wheels is one of them… Useful info here… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system Quote
IanS16 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 Cheers CS but i meant in the Zed specifically. Quote
DJsickboy Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I am pretty sure with the Zed the TC is ignition cut and the DSC uses that and braking individual wheels where needed... both are crap IMO, too eratic and inconsistant. The DSC has nearly had me off when I beat it corrrecting a slide before the TC kicked in. I am sure someone who knows beter will be along soon with a more definitave answer.. Quote
Chris`I Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 I'm with DJsickboy. Thats what I've heard before. TC is ignition cut and ESP uses brakes. Quote
IanS16 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 Cheers guys, the reason I ask is I have noticed the rear brakes have began to smell after driving for the last couple of days. It must be the ESP correcting my snow wheelspins. Just found this, quite interesting actually. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/nissan-350z-design3.htm Quote

IanS16 Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 I think thats just the US Zeds mate, pretty sure the UK and JDM ones dont. Quote

If I remember correctly it's a legal requirement in the US after some idiot successfully sued after they had a tyre blow out. The cause was found to be incorrect tyre pressures but the idiot managed to win the case because there was no warning system to tell him the tyre pressures were incorrect..... Bloody yanks.... Quote
jamesyj Posted February 7, 2009 Posted February 7, 2009 Ho hum, thought I'd discovered something new there! Quote
