I have a throttle pedal adjustment box which also does basic cruise control and was wondering if anyone knows where to find the speed signal wire in a M35. It may be a yellow/blue wire on a four pin plug....somewhere.... I am trying to get the japanese instructions translated but was wondering if anyone knows.

The device is a Pivot 3 drive AC in case anyone was wondering.

There is no speed signal I can find, its certainly not going to the ecu as it all goes down the CAN line. Perhaps there is a plug under the dash near the speedo? or there could be one off the auto ecu? It would be good if you could translate the instructions and let me know too.

There is a four pin plug under the steering column on the left side or in the left front footwell kick panel area. This is what a workmate's rudimentary Japanese has told us so far.... and it's not the yellow/blue wire- that's for the brake signal.

As soon as I know more, I'll post it up.

Here's a scan of parts of the japanese wiring instructions and also the engrish manual. The plug I am looking for is N-d on the first page of the pivot 3 drive ac pdf. The middle page shows the location for plugs in the car's cabin and the chart on the last page gives you an idea where the brake plug and speed sensor wires are.

If anyone can point me in the right direction it'd be most appreciated!

Looks good, what did it cost shipped?

Andy told me it was about $320 delivered. That makes it a pretty good deal if it does the whole cruise control thing well. I don't particularly care about the throttle sensitivty control, although it could be an interesting toy to play with for a while.

I'm still investigating the integrated 'factory look' cruise but it won't be as cheap as that. Maybe it's not worth worrying about.

Re the speed wire and CAN; there must have a separate speed wire somewhere cause my info meter doesn't display speed (or anything using speed to calculate like gear position etc) yet all the other info is gathered via the CAN bus (after I reconnected a critical wire in the OBDII connector). I'd be keen to know where this wire is also.

yes its a brown plug. it also has accessories power and the optional extras plug into it. i have something plugged into mine for the remote starter etc. ive seen other stuff that use this plug too

Excellent! I'll have a look and see if mine's been tampered with. Maybe I just need to extend a wire down to the OBDII connector somewhere to get the speed to register on the Info Meter. I'll be in touch...

I have a cruise control fitted to my M35 & took speed sense from the ECU . If you can scan the instruction manual of your pivot 3 Im sure my partner could translate it for you.

Hey Brett, does that include one that I've got? I scanned a few pages to try copying sections into an online translator but it didn't work. Can I send it to you?

Cheers, Leon.

Jeez you guys are awesome. My workmate showed the instructions to his Japanese wife last night and it's "brown plug taped on the car harness" in "back left hand side of the steering". Spot on.

Looks like I'll be busy later on tonight when I get home- I'll let you know how it all works.

Thanks again.

Oh, and I looked up my IM account and the unit cost $321.63 delievered. I think it was 18001 jpy which is a pretty good price for the harness as well...

I think the cruise version (AC) is the up-spec. It's only really a throttle sensitivity controller with the added bonus of cruise function in this variant. I saw it whilst browsing and bought it on a whim. If it works as cruise above 110 then the wife'll be happy and I don't imaging we'll use it as a throttle controller.

The throttle control works but the cruise doesn't. Don't have time to look into it any further at the moment so will try to firm up which of the pins is the speed signal- the diagram shows pin 3 of 4- but doesn't say if looking from behind or infront. Sigh

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
