Forged Performance: rcdash's twin turbo G35

I'm telling you Mike, the Haltech has 95% of what you need for full fledged, timing, boost, and auxiliary (brake, throttle) based traction control thanks to integration with the stock CAN system. Working on getting that last 5% which is dependent a little bit on Haltech and some clever wiring on my part after that . Goal will be to fine tune a system that may be traction limited but at least will be independent of "driver limitations". It will be my project between now and May.

I know it works great on the F-car....I am hoping it will do the same on this new setup You car dial in the amount of slip you want and there is a display showing how much you will get...will test and let you know.

Which modules are you using for control - brake, throttle, timing - combination? Tire choice will still be very important since ultimately traction will determine your maximum acceleration.

EDIT: www.racetronics.net is the site? Or am I looking at another product - lol.

Well I imagine there's no such thing as a PNP harness to tap into the ECU wiring. Not too much worse than hooking up your CAMP2 I suppose... Except without any plug and play connectors. Especially if you use all 3 modules. Actually I just read through their different modules and I think you are supposed to pick 1 - not all 3! I think I would only get the brake control module. I think it would be the fastest to effect control. The prices are not bad at all. I am dubious that the GPS sensor is as fast as the actual wheel sensors so I'd still go with the old school sensors.

Hmmm....Not sure ...this is the one....Digital version ...NOT Analog https://www.woodhouse.com/viper/racelogic.htm

Hey there i LOVE what you did to the trunk, was it custom made at a shop or did you do this your self?
Thanks guys. Traction is usually ok at 12 psi, but it's still too cold out for these summer tires.
The trunk has all space available - everything is installed where the spare tire used to sit. Lexan is cut out to the exact dimensions of the trunk (used the carpet as an outline) and wooden posts are bolted in for support along with the MDF subwoofer cabinet. It's very solid.
For the longest time, I had the spare inside, audio equipment around it and the subwoofer taking up space inside the trunk - the whole thing looked like crap. I then decided there was no good reason to do that. The car sees long trips infrequently and I could always throw the spare in the trunk if needed! That made much more sense.

OMG !!!! So sorry RAJ.... Sorry....that was bad.....I bet I told Terry TTg35fort the wrong info also.......Forgive me Raj ....I have the racetronics in another car ( not traction control)
Terry if you read this
Terry if you read this

Why thank you. I did that myself. Very easy to do and allows alot of flexibility with component placement, etc. With a dremel it's very easy to cut two panels of Lexan using the carpet as a template. Then you just need to place in your amps, subwoofer, equalizer, carPC etc - bolt them down using the stock posts that are sticking out along with a few pieces of timber - finally cover with black stain cloth. Most of the time I have the G35 carpet over the Lexan so it looks completely stock to anyone looking. If I took the black cloth out of there, it'd look like one big science experiment. There must be close to 50 cables/wires running everywhere thanks to the carPC.

No worries - this one from racelogic looks like a fuel cut associated with wheel slip. Hmmm... Not sure which is better but I think I like the racetronic brake control better. Have you talked to some racers running the racelogic. There apparently is an expensive unit out there that can potentially damage motors... Not sure if this one is it - but I would get firsthand experience from someone (more than 1 customer) running the racelogic.
