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?

    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
