Geez mate, now your testing my memory, lol.

I think initially I had to go digging up top like you, near the high mount stop light. I ran a wire down the passenger side & in behind the side panel where my TV tuner is. I used this to power the reverse camera as well as switch the display input.

Then, more recently, I connected into this same wire for the Pin55 reset, so didn't actually see the reverse light wire as such. I could look at the manual to see what colour it should be, but pretty easy for you to test it by probing it with a pin.

Hey guys I might have a solution that's a bit easier than running wire from rear camera. I only did the brake wire cut today so ill have to wait till the engine light comes on to test it properly.

Months back I installed some LED strips to light the footwells and I powered them from the key barrel ring light which must be triggered by door switch/module. I haven't got my multimeter on me but I'm pretty sure it's a 12v feed as the lights needed that supply, so I was thinking piggy back that wire to the pink/blue brake ecu side and every time I'm chucking the kids in the car/loading groceries/driving with my doors open, that should reset the light automatically. And it's easy to run just across bottom of dash.

So ill wait till warning comes on to see if it will work and will post results. Cheers mates.

Hey Dave, sounds perfect since you've already found that wire.

Of course that will preclude you from launching with the door open for that fully sic Youtube video :w00t:

Hi all,

Got to test out my setup today, ECL came on in morning and I hooked the wire up to my interior light circuit to see what would happen. Light cleared after about 3 seconds, happy as.

So to anyone wanting a relatively easy way to do this mod and make it automatically reset itself, carry out the following:

Run a wire from the positive side of the ignition key light (ring) - easy to access just pull off a few trims, run it down behind stereo area (straightened coat hanger helps to feed through) across under glovebox to ecu side pink/blue wire.

Job done.

*NOTE: This mod will only work successfully if you occasionally have your car running with the doors open. Also it may still bring the light on over long distance drives, so not perfect but just another way of doing things. Cheers!

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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.
