I was going to wire a clutch switch to my ECU for launch control/flat shift.

Found there was already one there in the clutch bracket.

Any one know what this is used for?

I could put another switch there but that would involve making up some brackets etc. If I can use this existing one I'd be stoked.

If it's not used for anything I could wire straight off it, or if it is used - I could wire up a relay to repeat the status of the clutch to the two circuits.

If anyone has a circuit diagram that would even be better.

Thanks,

Aaron.

Excellent, just what I wanted to hear - thanks for that.

Did you cut the existing wires off and rewire?

How's the Gizzmo? Find it useful? Is the flat shift more a lil more beneficial than the launch control in a RWD?

i have had my clutch switch hooked up to launch controll (gizmo launch interface) in my r33 gtst and had no issues with Hicas.

So i dont see how you will have any issues if i did not :(

I never actually set it up properly yet.. lol... I kept showing off pop pop bang bang and it cost me a gt35r so I leave it turned off now :D

Ouch...how long did you have it before it went? Maybe not such a good idea then...

Did a search and some guy had one for sale a while back and wired it like this, looks like you got this one :D Hope you don't mind me pulling this pic up:

Thought i had this sussed but what is that rectangular object all taped up in the pic with the terminals coming out?

hahahaa thats in my car atm :D

It was in there for about 2 months.. i gave it a little workout but not as much to wreck a perfectly good turbo, my turbo was flogged for years before this unit came along.. it just speed up the process.

Its a relay, the mafia hooked it up because the switch is the reverse of what is needed he made the relay setup for it which worked well

Ahh thought so - all sorted now.

That makes sense now, I need a normally closed contact, I'll test the switch tonight to see which it is and whether I need the relay.

Thanks for the help :)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
