Thread #19865
i dropped my q yesterday on insurance springs, after doing the front i noticed the abs, tcs, and slip lights on on the dash. they never came on before. any quick possible ideas as to what it could be?
Not sure if it is the same for the Y33 as the G50 but could be Your relays acting up. Obviously it could be the car was lowered. Did you get an alignment afterwards?
not yet. finished late last night and had work all day today. probly won't be til this weekend. its weird for the relay to act up at the exact time i lowered it. also, i've never had lights appear from simply dropping a car. i guess i need to find someone with a diagnostic machine
haven't posted on this site in a while... but just an FYI it happen to my car too, but my car is fully stock. I think it's the relay acting up. havent attempted to fix it yet.
Did you switch your ABS sensor to the coils??
no. i used springs, not full coils
Oh, my bad. Did you maybe break a sensor, or harness clip that connects them together?
don't think so, but will check when it ever stops raining down here.
how do the springs ride, i have insurance down springs sitting in my garage that i gotta put on. mind posting a pick of the before/after ride height?
I would almost guarantee that you damaged one of the ABS sensors. I did the same thing.

[QUOTE=jeremys14;289028]did you ever change them out? if so, how much did it run?[/QUOTE] Nope, just left it alone, because for now I don't care enough to have any of them functioning. It's fun getting this big bitch sideways in the rain sometimes. :D
Same here, no need for that anyways. Makes the car funner.
good to know. i don't like the traction control in the first place.

If you're plannin not to fix the error, and plannin to drive the car with no TC orABS just do what I did to fix it, pull out the bulbs behind the cluster. You'll never see em lit again :biggthumpup:
i thought about that, but the lights dont bother me that bad yet

am i the only one who had no difficulty at all taking the abs sensors out? fuck. guess i'm lucky haha
Nah, I got em off easily too, but with the S13 conversion, there's no way to put em onto the S13 hubs. Don't need em anyways, takes the fun outta driving

lowered a couple inches. just springs, still stock struts.
It's amazing how ridiculously high they were at stock height. How is it that a bone stock Mercedes or BMW can be sitting flush w/ tires, yet an Infiniti Q needs 4" between the tire and fender? Crazy. Height looks so much better now. As for the TCS, if you don't want it to be on, there is a switch you can push you know? Personally, I love TCS, launching in the rain with it is so much fun, you can blast off the line while other people are spinning their tires. On my car, ever since I changed tires last year, the TCS light will come on above 85 randomly, and then the car thinks its slipping, threfore no power, so I have to slow down to around 70 until it goes off and then manually turn TCS off. Does anyone know where the TCS relay plug is?
