Sort of worked...

Aaron and I went for a squirt today, he looked at the gauges while I drove. We found my ecu definitely opens the throttle 100% at launch, but only if the brake was off for a second or two beforehand.

I looked at the ECU diagram and found the brake pedal input wire, not knowing if it would put the car in limp mode or if the brake lights would work, I snipped the wire and backed the car out.

The brake lights worked, and now I had 100% throttle at stall. A drive told me the abs still operated and the takeoff was much better, with the car hitting the 4000 rpm stall limit off the line with little effort.

I will let you know how the car drives over the next few days and if there are any side effects but for now it looks like Pipster pointed us toward the holy grail. :cheers:

Yep and can't believe how simple It really was obviously scotts is running off a built box which means I'm also testing it out for the next few day on the stock box to see if it handles. Scott now has an advantage with the high stall.. On my gbox it's improved a little but because I have a 2000rpm stall I can't do much ATM. But In saying that I can now boost up to 8-9psi on stall with 100% throttle and launch the bastard much better than before. I cant believe we did it, hopefully this will save us over $1000 each by not having To go gzone or nismo anymore!

Woohooo, that's brilliant !

I'll give that a go myself. Will do the before & after tests under same conditions of course, to try & take the 'subjectiveness' out of the equation.

I love low (or zero) cost solutions that give great results. No one can be dissapointed hey

If you want to try it, its pin 55 on the ecu. Its a pink wire with a blue line.(around the middle of the plug.) Just make sure you tape up both snipped ends well. :thumbsup:

(Dont hold me responsible if you damage anything please.) lol.

i rekon the nismo already has this out of the box thats probably why we have better throttle response........

but this is a shit loads cheaper lol

can you confirm this by getting hold of an informeter and stalling it up, before chopping the wire?

would be interesting to know, as i know andys impul is only doing 36% on stall as standard

his is KNOWN to have the throttle limit.

are you guys 100% sure there IS a performance increase?

heres my theory, the informeter is reading the throttle input from your foot. the ECU limits THAT signal to 38% (or whatever) due to its programming.

i have an informeter mate, ill be driving to work tomorrow so ill check it out in the back streets. wont be chopping any wires yet

yeh because before when scott would stall, it would hold him at 2000ish RPM,, now it limits him to his high stall converter.. which means the extra opening has increased, i also noticed a 5psi increase from where it was before for mee..

im sure he did lol

im glad we all worked together to get past this problem :)

now craig and i cant son of rajab our nismo all over you guys :(

Does that mean if this works out everyone gets membership to the awesome forum? :nyaanyaa:

im sure he did lol

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
