TCS = Traction Control

It's the button just above your left knee when sitting in the drivers seat.

Putting it simply; TCS is a safety system that detects when the front wheels are not spinning at the same speed as the rear wheels (in such instance it cuts the fuel/ignition making you lose power/momentum)

Turning this off enables you to drive a little differently without the car cutting out on you (e.g. burnouts, drifting, violent gear shifting...)

• Awesome for the track, no need to remember to press 'that' button

• Mismatched rims sizes (people who put R34 GTR rims on and find the TCS triggers)

• Upgraded valve bodies, hassle free driving without TCS kicking in every gearshift

• Manuals, chirp gears without losing power between shifts and boost dropping off

Now available on e-bay, tell you friends search for 'R34 Skyline TCS'

I'll discount the price for any friends of SAU members, they pay the same as you guys and not the advertised $35.

while leaving the throttle wide open and actually leaning out the engine.. bit like a rev limiter.

Kind of, it actually drops fuel from 3 cylinders as well as closing the second throttle, turns the car into a 3 cylinder for a second or so.

I got mine on Friday. Simple and quickly installed.

Works a treat. Start the car and BAM! TCS is off. No more fiddling for the switch as you approach interesting corners bends or taking off at the lights. I can finally sleep better knowing that the car isnt going to want to go limp on impulse.

    • Yes there is a front and back insertion point on each side, each point is tubed with supports into the car and tied to the cage/ floor mount point
    • Is the jack stand system tied into the cage somehow? Upgrades look goooood 😍
    • Big updates, tons of work and $$$ 
    • it takes so long to get things done but ... they are nearly there and we hitting the track soon again  So - at Perth Festival of Speed the car unfortunately had a decent off, wasnt me driving, wasnt the person drivings fault. Long story short car got sent very fast towards the wall without the control on throttle from the driver input and a disaster was averted but there was damage that needed to be fixed - carbon busted and alot of bent bits The splitter got munched and had to go back to get fixed - took a bit to get it there, fixed and back but got a surprise package when a new double element higher DF splitter came back - nice surprise !  and first person to have one     At a car show I took the car too some punks stole one of my carbon indicator blanks and stomped on the other so had to get a new set of headlight / indicator combo from tops stage so got front fender vents as well to put in the order     While all this was happening the new MCA golds turned up and did some fiddling around with those   Put in the flappy paddle system and clutch lockout wiring/ system   We have also put shorter gearing in top top it out at 300 kmph in 6th gear  where previously I held 5th to 282 at SMP and 277 in Perth   Looking for better control and faster acceleration     I wasnt intending on doing pedal box I was managing with the brake master replacement system I had going on and adjusted std pedals but on applying the clutch switch to the old system we found the *insert technical word here * bar that goes from the pedal to the master was bent about 40 deg and about to snap = lucky find otherwise be a bad bad time - discussion was had about getting a custom bar built to withstand the load but in reality it was time      making any suspension, wheel or anything adjustments to date has been a nightmare - aero off, adjust, check and repeat - time consuming and hard - short of going full airjack system we fashioned some external manual car lifts this will make life a million times easier     All the bent framing, some intercooler pipes and other has been fixed and replaced and after 6 months I finally have the car back at home in my control so its get to work on it, set ride heights, wheel align and will start track testing again soon   So ultimately other than a few flashy bits nothing actually looks likes its been done but in reality alot has. Typical   We'll see how all this goes
