As im not one for cutting up factory wires and get plug in parts. It has come time to bite the bullet and do the brake cut mod. I am looking at doing it another way than what has been discussed previously. As my car has cruise control im looking at finding the wires associated with the on off switch on steering wheel cutting and terminating wire on the body side of ecu and connecting ecu wire to whichever cruise control wire becomes active when switch is turned on. If that does not work i have a switch i can solder in and run it to glove box

Just did it with a normal switch. On thinking about cruise control on off switch i would be limited to 30% throttle for the whole duration if i used the cruise control on a long drive may have been good for fuel consumption but i will never know

So have you done a test launch yet?

Watched the mighty car mods episode 12 of the double unicorn build. It touched base about the throttle restriction due to the atessa system in the wc's. I wonder if it's the same for us as we use that system? It was along the lines of g sensor and voltage sending info to the atessa which would tell the ecu how much power to send to the tranny etc..

There may be a big smile on your face. There definitely was on mine. Takes a while to stall up but it does happen.

Till about 3 weeks ago I didn't bother stalling up for more than 1-2 seconds , have been and still am very happy with general pedal response coming of the brakes. However bout 3 weeks ago I was waiting at a very tricky roundabout and stalled up for longer with foot flat ...... damn!! the grin I had! back end lost traction front scrambled for grip and the darn thing shot off like never before.

Car is stock except constant high boost, brake mod and trans cooler. This of course has resulted in a special kitty being formed for serious mods to happen. It is (to me anyway) exceptional how well these things get off the line.

Yep well worth the back cramps leaning in to the firewall, cutting and connecting the wires.

It's surprising how lazy Nissan tuned this car given the weight of the thing.

At least they gave it decent factory boost.

Even my wife loves it more now after she drove it through the forests of Durras lakes with the brake cut switched off.

Good little spot here for a switch, in the passenger side utility compartment.

Towards the back of the compartment , there's plenty of clearance behind for the mech.

Very easy piece of trim to remove, 2 screws then jiggle out.

Better than glovebox I think , less chance of getting broken.

I think my tyres are wearing out quicker all a sudden ;)

Dragging an old topic up. 

FYI, I have an AR-X that is 100% standard and I can get it to stall up on the brake to 3200rpm no problems, to the point that the rears start to spin. To my knowledge the mod hasn't been done as there are no CEL codes. 

Not too sure on how much boost its making but it leaves hard off the brake with no hesitation.

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
