  1. You are assuming I have not already done it a few times. Im not speaking from inexperience here I have set up a couple of track cars with it before and seen the results. I suggest you try the haltech with traction control setup you will be suprised at the results. If you set it up right you barely feel it. If you just boot it and let it do all the work then yes you will feel it, If you come off a corner and are also trying to control wheel spin you dont actually notice it working in the background. you just dont get those flares in wheel speed anymore as you are feathering the throttle. I agree the std traction control is way to aggressi ve in its settings and does kill the car, that is the way its setup in the computer not the fault of traction control itself. Is it worth it on the street well I guess that a choice every one has to make I think it is for when you are doing a mountain run or something like that, ie helping with power down off a corner.
  2. Clearly as I am talking about programing % of wheel slip then I am talking about adjustable traction control as alot of aftermarket ecu,s have built in to them. please re read the thread You can choose how much slip you have off the line ie the amount of tyre spin you will accept.
  3. Traction control measures wheel speed of all 4 wheels or of two wheel depending on which ecu you use Top end ones measure all 4. It then calculates the amount of wheel spin of these figures and reduces the power output to stop or to reduce wheel spin depending on what % of slip you have programed in. Its a great advantage for getting power down off turns. Much like when you are trying to accelerate away in a hurry say in a 0-60 time. Its not legal in a lot of forms of racing due to the great advantage it gives you on lap times with huge power down gains. On the street these is not those rules and so it can be used and will make a massive difference to getting you off the line. If you choose not to use it thats fine and your choice. If you think your awesome enough to drive your car in the wet then thats great and I have no issue driving a high power car in the wet either, but I would like to still be able to accelerate away from the lights quickly and cleanly , this is why I will be using switchable traction control. Oh and I said 400whp not 400wkw
  4. Thanks for your input, your awesome and clearly a person of great intelligence
  5. How about english do you find that useless as well read the post I said adjustable so i can limit the wheel spin if I wish to. I plan on making around 400 at the wheels, speak to anyone that has that sort of power and they will tell you its touchy in the wet to say the least, clearly I dont want that to be a problem. Maybe if I could drive as well as you then it wouldnt be an issue
  6. Ok fair call Im not sure if there is a nistune for the r34 and if there is , if you can adjust the traction controle I have an r32 with an 26/30 going in it and this is getting traction control so I can get home if it rains. But will also be able to help it get off the line If I feel the need. But its going to be switchable incase I need to make some smoke
  7. Actually traction control measures the difference in speed between the front wheels and the back wheels You can program the amount of spin you will allow and how you want to cut the power back. You can still have wheel spin but not to the point that it actually bakes the tyres We use this on the sports sedans all the time it works very well. On another note its not there to stop you spearing into the trees etc, they have installed a steering wheel for this purpose if you look hard you will find it just to the left of your keys
  8. Easy switchable traction control Turn it on to piss off in a hurry turn it off when you want to bag it up
  9. Im on the gold coast Im not a time waster. I have cash , let me know what you have 0410665701
  10. I dont see a stratergy here against Mark I believe its just the way it panned out As far as Schumi just let him get back up to speed, he will be fine when he gets in the right car
  11. damn those diesels are fast. Who would have thought I wonder what rpm they pull 2700 ??

  13. I will take that airbox off you Im on the gold coast. Please pm me your number and I will call you
  14. Thats awesome Where is the paper you read that said that or are you just figuring they did it for that reason I know they built the skyline to win the group A class, was it part of the class they were not allowed to move the intercooler I haven't read the rules but I am sure they were allowed to relocate the inter cooler for group A
  15. Im interested but I can buy a new pfc for 1239 with hand controller can you move on the price a little
  16. My point is they didn't believe that the side mounted inter-cooler was enough for the engine to survive at the hp figure it came out with and still allow a safety margin that would allow them to not have warranty issues. So I woyuld say that about 200kw is about the limit I would be happy to run with a side mounted inter-cooler
  17. oh so you think they put a bigger intercooler in the skyline because it wasnt holding them back or pushing there engine close to the point of detonation.
  18. I will have that loom for the coil pack Please pm me a number to contact you on
  19. I will take that front bar subject to price of shipping to the gold coast
  20. Nissan felt the need to go for a front mount on the gtr at 206kw
  21. Where abouts are you I would be interested in the guards
  22. I may be interested in the tank Whats your best priced shipped to the gold coast
