so is this wire that youre all cuting coming directly from the brake switch?

similar to andy's theory, just hook the park brake line directly up to the ECU brake activation so the park brake activates it instead

This would work fine but harder to implement since you now have to find 2 wires & afaik the handbrake doesn't have a connection to the ECU. Also, the handbrake wire is prob an earth but what is the one we cut? It could well be a feed from the brake lights, ie 12V, so one of it's purposes is to let us know when the brake lights are out, not just kill our launching fun :P .

I think a simple switch to reconnect the circuit is simplest & possibly less problematic in long run. It can be mounted close to ECU (even in glovebox or top cubby near DVD) if you don't want to run wires across to driver's side.

+1 on that.....I ran the momentary switch down in the slot below the Cig lighter.

did you notice a difference in drivability at all though craig?

assuming mines shown a light i dont think ive noticed any change at all

nup....noticed nothing...nothing at all!....could still do a stall and launch at 20PSI bagging all 4's right through 1st!

yeh i dont think im gonna bother with a switch..

my AFR's seem fine, i havent noticed any drawbacks over the past few weeks ive had it.

i have noticed the car seems to be pulling alot harder, but thats probably coz i just serviced it.

meh...

whats your stall at?EDIT: actually whats everyones stall at? if they were to sit on the brake and accelerator, what to the revs read(before spinning)

at 3000rpm I cannot hold it any longer.....I have to let it go....that's at 19-20PSI.......if it's in 2WD I need to let it go a lot earlier!

yeh mines at around 2500-2700.. my tires wont spin up at stall even at 10 psi.

if its when or really cold we have another story but that might be the brake bias or the pzeros

Jethro, can you confirm and let me know.. i have a feeling all(some) the stall converters are varied now..

Yep, around 2700-3000rpm, mine is slowly churning both rear tyres and sliding the back end to one side in the lane. LSD FTW!

Let it go; solid chirp and it f**ks the f**k off out of there!:banana:

do you have four pot fronts?

do you have four pot fronts?

In a box under my workbench? Yes. On the car? Not yet.pinch.gif

Too many projects going on ATM, will have to get back to my Big Brake conversion soon. Do have to stand on them fairly hard too, and no wire snipping yet.

I'd certainly like a bit of Jetwreck's turning all 4 in first though...

Shouldn't make a difference from standstill should it?

yours wont because you have rears..

but the brake bias changes with the four pot fronts(mainly GTR32 conversion)

I think anyway.. im sure cam will come and correct me.

looks like it will make it easier to spin up the rears at stall as you dont have to stand on the brakes as much to hold the front.

Aaron try this.

Stall up in 2WD......when it starts spinning let it go and then flick your attessa back on and it should lock up the fronts launch like a mofo!

I did a couple of back to back tests with a mate the other night on a private road and this was by far the quickest way to launch my car.....sub 5's!

Edited by Jetwreck

dont have a switch yet.. and surely thats not good for the attessa system right??

and as i said, these tyre will JUST start to slip but wont spin at stall, they're still new and really soft and sticky.. sometimes i wish i had nankangs lol..

i reckon i'll get em spinning once i do the brakes, i wont have to stand on em as much

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
