GTM Traction Control NA

Z eliminator

I got it yesterday .
The first thing that you notice is how well it is packed in the box and how well the box is taped up for good safe shipping. It takes longer to get it out of the packaging box, than to install it. The instructions are perfect and it takes about 5 min to install. (so easy even i can do it).
Its plug and play.
My car is a 7 AT. After i ajusted some peramiter on the unit i went out to see how the car drives with this unit. You have to turn the nissan VDC off.
It did a few 0 to 120km runs in "D" and it felt just as quick as when i take it to the track. The wheels spin when it shifts at 7800 with out the TC on and with it on you can hardly tell that they slip its only a little blip that you feel.
There is no contest between the Nissan VDC and the TC unit.
Im still finding out which setting are best for my car, its hard to tell the differenece between the stock sport tires and my 305 35 18 drag radials as the aceleration on the street feel just as fast as at the track.
It pulls really hard on street tires, It feels much faster.
According to Sam i should have my GTM SC in a 2 weeks i will post on the the TC unit with the SC.
It should give me perfect aceleration with the SC as the car will be pushing 500+ rwhp compared to my 322 that i have now.
It going to rain here tomorrow and i can not wait to test it out in the rain as Sam says that it will be increadable on how it will acclerate and go aroung corners.
The car is going to the Ontario Z Drag day this weekend and i will post the times with the drag radials using the TC unit.

I'm stooked to hear how it does in the rain. I want the unit before i go FI as well
Do you have any pic of where you put the adjustment knob? Do you also track or just drag race?

i do not track the car as i can not drive well enough.
right now i have it on the steering columm under the tack. I just placed it there as i have not done the pererminant in stall yet. I think that i will have to put it in the area where the nav system would go my car does not have one,

Let us know how it performs

This is on my "to do" list

Hmm I guess I was assuming that kit used its own wheel sensors, throttle control, etc and would take some serious install work. Are you saying it just hooks into the stock ECU and works with the stock sensors, and adjusts the throttle through the ECU as well?

yes . it hooks up to the wiring harness on your ecu. It goes between the ecu and the factory wiring harness.
The workmenship on the GTM harness is outstanding.

did you manage to hide all the wires and TC box under the dash near the ECU? i haven't really looked at mine yet. No clue where to put the controller.

very interesting. Looking forward to it.

Awesome! Are you going to make any runs with just the Traction Control (before you get the SC)?

Glad you received the unit and are happy with it. Was hoping you could expound upon the above comment. I just want more technical detail on why this unit is so much better than the factory traction control. I realize that it may take some time for you to fully appreciate all the benefits of the new TC.

Pics of the control unit?

You can read up on the basics of the RaceLogic traction control system here: Racelogic - Experts in data logging, video logging & GPS. Assuming it works as advertised (and I have no reason to believe it doesn't), it's vastly superior to our stock VDC for high performance driving. Very expensive though, ~$2k-ish?

So, question z eliminator: Now that you have Launch control, tc and automatic transmission...exactly which part of driving your car do you do?

Also, I dont think you're going to make 500whp.

Love this TC unit though, you should try and take your car to a road race track sometime so you can really feel it working through the turns! You better catch jnaut now!

Push the paddle shifter for the next gear?

So, question RCZ: now that you have synchronizer gears in your transmission, SynchroRevMatch, power steering, power-assisted ABS brakes, a safe electronic rev limiter, a rear view mirror, an awesome suspension dampening system, and amazingly advanced tire rubber compounds... exactly which part of really driving your car do you do?

Don't hate on technology, or we'd all be driving these:
