Once you go DBW, you don't look back. Great idle quality, AC doesn't cause idle quality to degrade.

The factory air leak valves are so slow to react, with bigger cams your motor is very inefficient at lower RPMs the compressor engaging is enough to stall the motor.

Nissan should have used stepper motors like JZs or 4Gs, instead they installed a two slow reacting air leak valves lol.

Have you seen the rats nest of hoses under the intake manifold of an RB26? Stepper motors for idle control is far too elegant. On the bright side at least the power steering idle up on these motors isn't a physical valve that can start leaking power steering fluid into the intake with age.

Used up everyone single DPI, AVI. Even sacrificed the power steering input lol.

DBW uses up 4x inputs.

How many extra i/o’s does if use.

The fact they fitted 2 of them always confused me

Drive by wire uses 4 AVIs and the 2 dbw driver wires 

brake and clutch pedal use one each

Thanks Looks like I’ll need an i/o expander. May as well get a can button panel as well. No clutch pedal on mine. So I saved one there

To free up some AVIs you can cheat with the temperature sensors and use them on SPIs and change the scaling of the sensor to suit 

the drive by wire AVIs must be on the ecu and can’t be in the i/o box

Did you not already fit a brake pedal input when going to dbw as fail safe if something goes to shit? 

Is that even a thing?

I’ll have to move some other stuff to the I/o box then. Probably auto controls

Try doing a brake job in a modern car with a factory ecu 

That's a different story.

In relation to aftermarket ecus with dbw I have never seen them need a brake pedal input as part of the safety system.

When you select drive by wire in the haltech ecu it pushes you to set up a brake pedal input so that if the pedal says be closed and the brake pedal is saying you want to stop but the throttle isn’t closed it will put it straight into limp mode

Interesting. Link ecus definitely dont do that, nor do motec from my experience.

 

 

it deosnt make sense, because all that matters is the pedal and the throttle relationship. If the pedal is lifted and the throttle is still open it should go to safety conditions straight away, regardless if you push the brake or not. Can't see how it helps at all. 

 

Also I am assuming you mean  a mismatch between the pedal and throttle and foot on the brake makes it go into safety mode, otherwise you wouldn't be able to do burnouts and that would be dumb!

 

 

Anyway I looked it up and it is optional to have the brake pedal as part of dbw safety with Haltech, and it doesnt relate to a failsafe function really anyway compared to having to have a primary and secondary position sensor on both Pedal and throttle.

 

Brake Pedal Check  Enable if a Brake Pedal Switch has been wired and configured. Enabling this function will enable the Max Brake TPS Setting. This setting will override all other commanded throttle values.

 

 

 

 

From

https://support.haltech.com/portal/en/kb/articles/drive-by-wire-elite

can't see why anyone would actually do it.

The brake input is optional on the Haltech, I personally don't use the brake input.

I'll post up my IO assignment tonight, unfortunately using SPI for temperature sensors are not recommended as you lose resolution.

I hooked up both my brake and clutch pedals into the ecu all my temp sensors are on AVI except fuel 

So are you using a lower throttle plate max opening with brake pressed?

using a brake pedal override seems like a nightmare for left foot braking/trail braking, and burnouts for that matter

Sounds like a great excuse to have a “hoon” “race” button on the CAN keypad

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.

    • Our Southern Highlands Cruise is proudly registered with “R U OK?” Day.  Sometimes the best way to check in on your mates is by getting out for a drive together. Sharing a common passion like cars creates the perfect space to chat, connect, and support each other.  A simple “R U OK?” can make all the difference. Let's enjoy the drive, the company, and look out for one another. PLEASE WEAR YELLOW FOR “R U OK?” DAY Sunday 14th September 2025 9:30AM Meeting Crossroads Homemaker Centre 10:00AM Cruise Departure Via Old Hume Hwy 11:45AM Arrival at Mittagong RSL Club Meet Location: Crossroads Homemaker Centre Final Destination: Mittagong RSL Club *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • Yep, its been down for a while, as I understand it it will be back soon.
    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
