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.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
