Z-tech traction control module + brake boost + burnout

SeeThruHead

So I'm sure plenty of people have wired this all individually but I stumbled across a thread over here https://www.350z-uk.com/topic/121590...e-with-memory/

That thread eventually spun out into this site https://www.cs2000-z-tech.co.uk/coll...disable-module

Basically it looks like a momentary switch => microcontroller (assume for memory feature?) => 2 relays one for yaw and one for brake switch (i think)

Anyone ever heard of this? I'm thinking I might order one.

No need for it. You can do it all with ECUTEK for the most part. If you want a motorsport grade unit, Motec is the way to go. Not cheap though.

I wasn't aware you could turn TC entirely off via ecutek. Or that you can do burnouts/brake boost. I don't see it mentioned specifically on the site but that's interesting. Thanks

one day on the motec, ecutek looks like it has configurable TC which is nice actually didn't realize that

So If I'm looking to disable TC entirely for track days I just need ECUTEK? or ecutek + yaw sensor power switch?

Ecutek does most of what you need. But you need the yaw switch, too, if you want everything off.

You need to get on the track first before you start doing all these mods for the track.

Have already been once! But I'm preparing for a busy 2021 season. Stuff takes so long to order and install these days have to plan ahead.

You’re doing it all backwards. Put the money in seat time. Gradually mod the car the faster you get.

I think he must be kin to JChammond. LOL

Both! What's the point of reading every thread in the track section if I can pre-empt some of my issues using the knowledge and experience of others.

All that is subjective. One track day can’t justify experience others have had. You just need pads, brake fluid, oil and diff cooler and maybe a surge tank. Once you start out running your set up change things accordingly. What a professional driver told me, you change to many things at once, it’s harder to tell what isn’t working properly and diagnose the issue. You will have a huge reality check when a 140hp miata runs circles around you.

Yeah, it's all subjective. You have to tune the car to the way you drive, and you can only know what to tune when you know the car through time.

I've had mine for 8 years now, and I made some big changes this year to it. First outing at the track, I went off (full 360'd it, it was sweet) because I just wasn't expecting some of the results of those changes. It's always best to learn, and make incremental changes.

Good to keep other experiences in the back of your head so you know what to do if your own experience matches up, but ultimately you won't know what to look for if you don't baseline it. And keep in mind your baseline that you establish can change even day to day - temperatures, track conditions, what you ate that day, your mood, etc. An installed part can't fix that.

yeah i agree for the most part. I know though there are going to be things I will do regardless. Like yaw disable. I will do it if only because I want to be able to experience it.
Not everything is about track times as well. I like modding and adding gadgets to my cars/house/etc because I find the process fun. Not everything is purely driven by practicality. That would be incredibly boring.

I know I'm going to get an ecutek tune so probably a hardwire yaw switch + that will be fine and I will skip this thing. I was more hoping if anyone had used it before, i'm curious why someone went through the trouble of making it vs using ecutek and a switch on power for the yaw sensor.

I have a need to know about every option. And to extensively research and gain knowledge about everything to do with the stuff I try out. So that means tracking down information on every esoteric part and mod, and asking questions and shoving as much knowledge into my head about this platform as is humanly possible. Sure maybe lots of that information doesn't apply to me, but I still have the desire to acquire it and understand it as much as I am capable at any given time.

It was made for a 350Z. There are better options for the 370Z. That's why you don't see any info about it on this forum.

The stuff on this forum is tried and true for the most part. So if you don't see it here, chances are there are better options or it's been found to be more hassle than it's worth and you'll have to be the guinea pig.
