hey franks,

do you know anything further about what this system actually does?

I thought they just hold the revs at a preset limit eg 3000 where you guess is the right revs to launch? not very scientific....

eh? same link as before ed....

I'm wondering coz it really seems to be a very simple function, just hold revs at a certain level, is it just a gimmick or can it really help?

And a q to go with that, the site says

"On a turbo car, if the launch control is active, and full throttle is given for two to three seconds, the boost pressure will build up before the clutch is released, resulting in stunning off-the-line performance. "

Is that correct? I thought you don't get boost just revving at idle?

Duncan,

A mate has launch control on his GT4 with the E6K.

Pretty sure it's just a rev limiter set at 4000rpm etc.

But yeah, he can press the button, hold the acclerator flat to the floor, tacho swings to 4000rpm and sit's there while the boost rises to 7psi in about 2 seconds !!

Launches in that thing are amazing !! He has now broken the diff, gearbox, and engine mounts !! :)

Ed, in most cases that is correct.

I've heard that there are different types, but I'm not clued up on how the others work - maybe they are like anti lag etc.. Not sure.

With the PFC Pro, it uses the speed signal (wire 53?) to determine if you are moving or not, once it sences that you are moving it reverts to the normal rev limiter (eg. 7500rpm).

I think it's a handy little feature with the Pro, and worth the extra $150 bucks or so.

guys, the racelogic system is definately not a simple 2 step rev limiter.

it is an intelligent system which uses the abs sensors on existing cars to calculate the precise amount of wheel rotation the car needs for an optimal launch.

afaik, it does this by cutting spark to the engine which in turn does not effect engine rpm...

the racelogic system is definately not a cheap system. the traction control + launch control module for cars with abs costs around 700 pounds...

my friend bought his racelogic system for ~$1700 from the australian distributor - i think its chiptorque?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
