b2barker Posted December 13, 2002 Share Posted December 13, 2002 Yeah posted by me. When I first found it 6 months back, I noticed the was R33 wiring diagram on their FAQ, so someone has one on a 'line. The only that has stopped me trying one is that I intend to try and make a controller that can do this, amongst other things (ie. AFM intercept, boost control, data log, and maybe traction control) Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7398-launch-control-device/#findComment-108656 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hicks Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 "If you thought your 1.8 sec 60 footer launch was good, wait till you try launch control. A friend has it on his talon, lets just say you'll need a neck brace after a couple of launches." 1.8??? Thats shit.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 Hi Guys, Launch control, flat shift and anti-lag can be found in some of the more advanced engine managment systems around, the Autronic SM2 has all three. They are definately cool features, but tend to be for serious drag racers, in the 9sec or less bracket. That's not to say that they wouldn't make a difference to a Skyline, but I think it would remove some of the fun. b2barker, If you manage to make one of these I'm sure we'd all be interested in the results. Good luck See'ya:burnout: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7398-launch-control-device/#findComment-108680 Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSIKO Posted December 14, 2002 Share Posted December 14, 2002 he was only joking skyzerr I think these things are only about $290 or $300, which imho is pretty good compared to the few grand you'd need for ems which supports it (even though they obviously carry many more benefits)...in fact I'm thinking of scrapping the tyres idea and going straight for this one has anyone had any experience with these? either this box or from their ems functions?

JH32 Posted December 14, 2002 Author Share Posted December 14, 2002 From the website, think it might be predominantly designed for 4wd cars, though apparently it can be used on any EFI car.

Jay95R33 Posted December 15, 2002 Share Posted December 15, 2002 If this is what I think it is, it's just an optional rev limiter. Hold a button in and it limits revs to a pre set level (ie. 3500rpm). The E6K on my mates GT4 has it and it allows you to have very consistant launches. Neck snapping launches actually Pretty sure that it could be used on RWD cars too, like I said, it just limits revs. J Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7398-launch-control-device/#findComment-108967 Share on other sites More sharing options...
