I always thought that slot was actually for the kick down cable used by the automatic transmission... then again, what would I know, I have a manual skyline.

I know with 'many' older automatic cars, e.g. camries, commos, etc.. have 2 cables coming off the throttle, 1 is the accelerator cable, 1 is the kick down cable

It's true that some older autos used an extra cable connected to the TB to control auto kick-down function (ie WOT selects lower gear for acceleration). Popular on older Fords, whereas Holden used a switch triggered by the accelerator pedal (hydramatics and trimatics + T series from memory).

AFAIA older Nissan auto's never used cable for kick-down and certainly their auto's from the late 80's (eg Series 3 R31) have been fully electronic (ie full ECU control via solenoids).

I'd say the cable on the OP's car is for cruise.

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
