R34 Traction Control Cancellation Circuit!


Recommended Posts

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

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:

hey i have a problem my tcs off, slip and engine light are always on.But i know that my tcs is on.Can this device

help me anyway?Due the fact that the tcs off light is on i cant turn the tcs off.Any help!

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.

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!

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
