TCS = Traction Control

It's the button just above your left knee when sitting in the drivers seat.

Putting it simply; TCS is a safety system that detects when the front wheels are not spinning at the same speed as the rear wheels (in such instance it cuts the fuel/ignition making you lose power/momentum)

Turning this off enables you to drive a little differently without the car cutting out on you (e.g. burnouts, drifting, violent gear shifting...)

• Awesome for the track, no need to remember to press 'that' button

• Mismatched rims sizes (people who put R34 GTR rims on and find the TCS triggers)

• Upgraded valve bodies, hassle free driving without TCS kicking in every gearshift

• Manuals, chirp gears without losing power between shifts and boost dropping off

Now available on e-bay, tell you friends search for 'R34 Skyline TCS'

I'll discount the price for any friends of SAU members, they pay the same as you guys and not the advertised $35.

while leaving the throttle wide open and actually leaning out the engine.. bit like a rev limiter.

Kind of, it actually drops fuel from 3 cylinders as well as closing the second throttle, turns the car into a 3 cylinder for a second or so.

I got mine on Friday. Simple and quickly installed.

Works a treat. Start the car and BAM! TCS is off. No more fiddling for the switch as you approach interesting corners bends or taking off at the lights. I can finally sleep better knowing that the car isnt going to want to go limp on impulse.

:laugh:

    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
