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

Nismo awesome is still awesome; but free awesome is the awesomest kind of awesome.:thumbsup:

'Cept for boobies...:thumbsup:

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
