Do you find it annoying to constantly turn your TCS off?

Do you wish it defaulted to 'TCS Off' the second you started your car?

If you answered yes to either of those questions, this is for you!!!!!

The device when fitted to your car will instantly turn off the traction control, you now have to press the button to turn it on! (reverses the factory setup) The circuit can also be wired so that it's selectively on (great if your girlfriend is going to drive the car and you want TCS to come on the second she turns the key!!!!!!)

Easy to wire with only 3 wires to the ECU in the boot:

Only $30 + Postage

Actual unit may vary slightly from picture, new improved wiring version only has 3 wires!!!

Not that im that lazy,, im not to bothered presing the button, but, if it automatically turns off, does this mean the ""TSC OFF"" dash light is always on????

And isnt it just as easy to remove the fuse :)

Awesome work on finding it though

Yes 'TCS Off' is the default.

It's not as simple as removing a fuse, I wouldn't recommend taking a fuse out, this actually buggers up a few of the other systems that rely on the TCS and will give the SLIP light as well as the car detects an error. You also can't turn it on if you decide you want to, you'd have to mess around replacing a fuse.

The other benefit is the switch still works, just in reverse...you press to turn on. This circuit just reverses the operation of the switch

It took me a while to build these a fair bit of trial and error :)

Yeah its a pain in the ass turning tcs off, or sometimes i forget and try to light the wheels and it stalls :) were bouts you located? i'll take one...

Exactly what I mean!!!! I find I get owned on corners where the car *thinks* it would be a good idea to drop engine power.

I'm located in Brisbane, PM your details and I'll get one on it's way.

Wiring is fairly simple, much like an SAFC or similar, except it's only 3 wires to the ECU in the boot, the unit mounts behind the panel alongside the HICAS computer.

Only $30 will prevent you from forgetting to press your TCS button and looking like a chump as you get flogged by a barina and your car is still thinking about giving 3 cylinders back to you.

Not with anything over stock power, slows you down by kicking in all the time. It sucks!!!

Or if you have a valve body upgrade :laugh:

I bet I'll still be beaten by a Barina

Also Dan, missed your MSN message the other night - I'll take you up on your offer :rofl: Cheers!

Installation will happen tonight - will post up results tomorrow morning! Now it's just a matter of turn the key then slide; instead of turn the key flip switches like you're in a fighter plane then slide :)

On the topic of the ABS though; what happens if your car does not have ABS or it was removed?

    • Hey guys I have a 2001 Nissan stagea vq25det, I don't have any engine lights and not really any issues running but I was curious to see if I could use my obd II scanner to find anything that was hidden and I plugged my scanner in and it just said "Low voltage cannot scan" does anyone know how to fix this or what this could be?
    • Sadly we have something in common, our Skyline's like blowing up electrically 😢
    • So, no videos, but, the FAB9 Elite manifold and 68mm Bosch throttle bodies are in stock, but, not the rear part of the air box The FAB9 rear airbox thingie is made with a 3" intake pipe, to suit the 3" intake pipe size of a 68mm throttle body  When they get some more in stock is currently unknown as I'm waiting for FAB9 to reply with a ETA on resupply, my assumption is they outsource their plastic printing stuff to "china", and with the current "tariff war" going on in 'Merica it could be on hold for an undisclosed time Should I pull the pin on the Intake and throttle body, and wait for the airbox?????, that's what I'm thinking... 1. Would the standard 2.75" OEM intake on the air box really be that much of a restriction compared to the 3" naturally aspirated?????? 2. If I don't get the 3" FAB9 airbox fitted at the same time as the intake and throttle body will it need a retune, when/if it eventually turns up?????? As I'm impulsive, to a fault, decisions will be made within....."what's the time now"???....let's say 12 hours......LOL
    • yeah its just so expensive nowadays and its easy to lose motivation very quickly when you start adding up the costs. I acquired the car from a collector in Melbourne and was lucky to get the opportunity to buy something already completed.  I looked at a proper resto and your paying over 300-400K for a proper one (nut and bolt) so this one to me seemed like a much better option! Car is in private storage and for serious buyers, welcome to come see it/drive it in person (photos don't do it justice).
