Hey Dan,

Great little unit! Thanks for all the assistance you provided me when I had problems with the install.

Yoi helped out whever I had a questions.

Great product!

Kev

Here's a challenge....

And a question....

And a statement....

No particular order ;)

Firstly.... Is the second throttle body a simple on/off thing or is it variable allowing a 0 - 100% position?

Secondly, if the throttle body is a variable douvalacky, you could adjust the voltage going to it to allow a series of different throttle positions.

Thirdly, could you bend the signal that goes to that throttle body to allow a 'slowing' of the power delivery more so than a 'forehead meets steering wheel' stopping of power delivery.....

6-10% slip is the best for traction.........

Motec can do it.......

Yes it is variable, yes it can be fed a progressive voltage...but the killer is the fact the car shuts down 3 injectors. You'd need a way of preventing the car from doing this, it'd be a pain to get around as you'd need to disable whatever drops the voltage going to the inejctors...I think it's in the programming wizardry :S

So what you are telling me is that yes, you can do it.......

YAY!

Reckon you could make it cut spark instead?

You'll be waiting a while :) I think you're the only person who would be keen for it :D

hi guys. ive just upgraded to an r34 gtt from an r33 gts t, now lets talk serious stuff.. why is the traction control so strong on this model, i had my r33 going sideways without any issues and still had traction control working ?? i tried to throw the 34 into a corner ysterday and it droped power displaying SLIp????

Bloody hell Dan, I just bought new globes for my dash then I see you sig. lol. SO hard to find the right globes for the 34's!

haha Adz, they're not hard to find - you should have just asked me - I've had blue hi-intensity LED's in my dash for 2 years :ninja:

Had enough of the blue now... time to put a new Nismo 320km/h dash in :rofl:

You may need to check your error codes and see what the issue is, so you're saying the TCS is still working even though it says Off????

This unit won't be able to help you as it relies on a functioning TCS and ABS system.

my stagea has a similar problem but without the engine light, just the TCS off and slip light come on when the car is turned on sometimes, it's done it maybe 15 times in 12 months,

it goes away if the car is turned off then back on.

im not worried

yep I would be keen for one of these as well .... would be significantly better if we could 'program' how much slip the TCS allows - like Bass said you actually only need around 10% - whereas I would think the oem TCS is around 50% when activated.

Also, another challenge for you - can you make up a similar module to the TCS thingo that makes the steering wheel gear controls 'On' by default when you start up, rather than off? I have no idea why they even invented such a switch - why the hell would you ever want it off? Even if you don't use the steering wheel controls then it still wouldn't hurt to have it come on every time you whack the gearknob into tiptronic mode. I assume you could do it by relay off of one of the wires to the switch in the centre console?

I did look at the unit for the Steering wheel, I got stumped by it using some bizzare logic to trigger, may need some time back at the ol' drawing board :laugh:

Hey, i just bought a R34 and the switch TCS switch does not turn off the TCS, do you have any idea why this is the case, it acts like a push button rather than a actual switch is this correct? i tried taking out the fuse and it worked but i was reading the forums and i think someone said it can stuff around with other systems, so i have put the fuse back in for the time being. Can you get back to me and let me know whats the go. Also do R34's come with a radio, i assumed they did but when i recieved the car and tried to tune in a radio station i could not get a signal, i previously had a 33 and there was an aerial but none on the 34, any ideas?

Thx

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.

:)

if only u could stop other things from going limp on impulse.....

oh yeah bump + 1 sold if u get it to do ignition cut instead of fuel cut!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
