Umm, I know I'm a bit Jonny-come-lately, but, which wire is it that people are cutting/switching? Sounds like something I need to do.:thumbsup:

Yeah Andy, you do! Everyone with a M35 should do this. Then crossing a busy road won't require such a big gap.

It's pin 55 on the ECU, but run it via a switch so you can "cut" the wire at will (& reconnect it also). If the ECU doesn't see the brake switch every so often (days normally) it will eventually throw a code. Good news is the code disappears if you switch the wire back into circuit & put your foot on the brake.

For more info have a read of this thread from about here (or even a few pages before -it's very interesting): http://www.skylinesa...ost__p__5832870

I found out today, after months driving with the wire cut, it will eventually go into throttle limp. I was driving when I suddenly noticed the throttle wouldn't go past 24% on the informeter. A quick roadside ecu reset didn't clear it, unplugging the ecu did as I couldn't get to the wires.

I have a switch in the dash now... :)

>_< I'm getting DTC 1805. In theory once you flick the switch and press the brake does it go away? Or do you need to clear the code?

If its like other error codes Ive experienced in the M35 (eg dead AFM) the code wont clear automatically when the problem is resolved (ie plug the new AFM in and its still showing you a CEL - but the car is operating fine). If its no longer in limp mode, I would suggest that it will self clear over the next couple of days; but if you're feeling pedantic you can clear the codes manually thumbsup.gif

Funny thing is that I haven't noticed a drop in power, although I wasn't giving it much this morning. Better take it for a drive at lunch and see what's up.

If the limp mode caused by the wire cut is the same as the one with a blown AFM you'd definitely notice, even when not giving it much. Basically theres a ~2100 RPM rev limiter in place and it bounces off that once when you try and move your foot much more than 1/4" on the pedal.

Pure weirdness then. I'm sure it's 1805 but I would have revved it higher than 2100 RPM this morning. I know I was tired this morning but surely not that much! :rolleyes:

If its the wire cut you just have to reconnect the wire and press the brake, you will be good for another few months. If you leave it the car will go into limp mode eventually and limit the throttle.

I just read Andys first post in this thread, he suggested that the limp mode imposed was that "Under hard acceleration = reduced response" which is a bit different to the rev limited limp mode. So, given how tired you were Jase you mightnt have noticed :P but as Scotty said - flick that switch you put in and see if it seems normal now?

The above could be true as in my experience when the light came on (from the brake wire cut) I didn't notice any drop in performance or rev limit being imposed, but I also wasn't doing anything considered 'hard acceleration'. As for resetting the code, for me it was as simple as flicking the switch back to normal & pressing the brake pedal. Maybe it is different if the MIL has been on for a long time.... Also, I don't know how Scotty got a months driving between resetting. I got about 500km before my light came on.

Edit: just thinking about this - it's probably because Scotty has a light on permanently due to the Emanage. He is probably talking about a proper limp mode, which is quite on the cards if left for an extended period.

^lol.

It's just 12V that needs to be applied to the ECU pin to clear the code. Can get it from anywhere. Of course if you don't use the original brake wire & switch in some permanent 12V, you'll have restricted throttle all the time.

I'm starting to think of a good idea for a "valet mode"....:whistling:

Yeah I get coming on around every 500km. Ive never noticed any difference, but its usually when im just cruising along so just press the brake slightly with my left foot while holding the button and the light goes out after a couple of seconds

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
