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 wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
