yes but it's not teh nissan s14a specific one, just a general fitment guide, thanks for the reply though

Followed the guide and got it all installed today
Had a slight panic about which injector went where but then realised it didn't really matter as there was no set order on there.
Have got a slight issue with slightly different wheel speeds as I get up to higher mph. might be cos rear tyres are almost bald and front ones are fairly new looking. perhaps thats it.
But all works to teh point that I know it just needs tweaking as and when I get time. Thanks for the 'How To'
Can anyone tell me if i can still use this on an S14 that i have removed the ABS on. The car is running an S14A ECU loom but not sure about the ABS Loom. The ECU and all wiring to it (the entire loom that runs down the passenger side) has been removed along with the ABS pump but the plugs that go into the ABS pump are still there at the moment along with the sensors on the hubs?
Thanks
as long as teh sensors are still on the wheels thats all it needs really
Just wire it up, don't think it really matters if you still have teh abs ecu
cooli guess its just a case of finding the correct wires at the plugs
cheers
Any chance of a re-up of these pics - they seem to have gone awol.
You don't really need pics TBH. As long as you're confident with a soldering iron, you won't have any problems. The ABS ECU needs 4 wires soldered to 3 wires and the 4 injector wires get cut and connected to the two cables left. It'll take about 2/3 hrs if you do it all neatly.
I was just thinking about this fitting.
Do you need to wire the traction control to all 4 corners of the car, where the ABS sensors live,
or can you just connect it all up at the ABS ECU where all the sensors must connect?
I was wondering the same with the injector side of things, can you connect to them in-car, or is that
under the engine bay only?
I am just missing the whole point, and getting totally the wrong end of the stick with regards fitting?
ABS wires just tag in where the abs ecu is in the boot. The Injector wires go by the ecu and the go "through" the traction control, i.e. you cut the wire to an injector and you stick the traction control in the middle. It's a really easy job tbh. I did it in no time at all using this guide.
Oh and there are only actually 3 ABS sensors so two of the sensor cables from the abs loom go to the same place
Where can this traction control system be bought? And how effective is it?
I bought mine from Jez, and yes its very effective, well it is once you set it up right
Get it with launch control....

Since no-one seem's to be buying the 14, i'll not be getting the 15 so i'd be as well to buy bits for the 14
Yeah, H dev... was about 550-600 quid with LC.
Remember to set it up right yourself you really need a laptop with a serial port, as it has software that comes with it.
You can use a digital controller though but i still think the software is the best way to configure it.
I bought mine from a member on here
Jez was selling his own set for not too much recently, might be worth asking if he still has it.
It's racelogic traction control, check their website and google for more info
It's the same system the Gumpert Apollo had on top gear season 11 episode 6
What's a serial port?
I'll look at h-dev just now, i actually think i really need traction controlI bought mine from a member on here

If you do buy it get someone to fit it for you then as its quite technical...
I think i'm more than capable of wiring in a traction control unitIf you do buy it get someone to fit it for you then as its quite technical...
Ben - All the wires connect to either the Engine ECU or the ABS ECU. The digi-controller needs power too, so I wired it into the fuse holder for the RLTC control Box.
Edit - S13 ECU and ABS ECU pinouts. Tried and tested
The ABS ECU has 4 wires to be connected to it. Red, Blue, Yellow and Green, one for each ABS Sensor, BUT as the S13/14s only have 3 sensors, two of the wires need to be connected to one sensor. In this case, the Yellow and Green wires are connected to the rear sensor.

You deffo need a laptop though, not all teh settings are available in teh digital controller, I use a pc with a usb - serial cable as most laptops don't come with a serial port anymore. As for being quite technical...I don't think it is as long as you are used to playing aroudn with things. If you are a total no go and don't even know how to change your own oil etc then best get somebody else to do it. You at least have to be able soldering iron really.
No offence, but you have just asked about networks in the other part of the forum and asked about serial ports.I think i'm more than capable of wiring in a traction control unit
It requires about 15 cable splices into the main ecu for the injectors and other bits and bobs, it also requires connections at the abs ecu.
Then you have to program it with the supplied software.
If i were you i would get someone else to do it, i have a background in IT and it still took me a wee while, and mine is still not 100% as i have tweaks to do to the wheels speed sensors.
