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.

:laugh:

    • You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.
    • 98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.
    • Anyone know alternatives to powerplus tungsten? Can't find an alternative online. 
    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha
