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?

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
