What Is The Switch On The Clutch Pedal For?

[BANGN]

Was wondering what the switch on the clutch pedal is meant to do on my R32?

[Curmi]

switch? take a picture of it

[Mister25t]

Its similar to the brake light switch on the brake pedal. My R33 has one too.

My guess is it has something to do with idle control?

[blind_elk]

You don't have cruise control, do you?

i'd be curious to know too, probably something to do with idle control as mentioned...........

it is however also handy to use for full throttle upshift ignition cut

would be there for cruise control im guessing....

i know we have different cars but my r34 has a switch on the clutch aswell , what it does is stop you from starting the car unless you have your foot on the clutch (clutch start)

its good if you want to put a kill switch somewere in your car so no one knows how to start it

Its a 32.. never seen a 32 with cruise control :S

I was going to use it with my Bee*R limiter as a setup for antilag that I could turn off via a rocker switch, but wasn't sure what it could be for

its nothing to do with starting the car, not on r34s either

Awsome idea

i beg to differ i can show you anytime my car wont start unless the clutch is in (thats why its called clutch start)

if you push the button in by hand (very awkward but i tryed it lol) and turn the key hey presto the car starts !!

take a pic please.. if so that must be an option as mine doesnt have a switch.. and doesnt clutch start.. interested..

[snozzle]

i have also wondered what the switch is there for also!

[maddowse]

did you want me to take a pick or the poster ?

if your clutch start is not working and it has a switch may be because its got a aftermarket computer ?? of its been pemanant ly connected to allow you to start the car with out the clutch start , my mate has an r34 98 model that does not have clutch start or the botton , hope this helps

it maybe something totaly different in r33s or it could be just that series 2 r34s have it i dont know

[heller44]

I don't know why... but according to the wiring schematics the clutch switch is wired in to the hicas module, pin 13. For r32 that is...

hmmm, interesting setup on ur r34 with the switch maddowse

ive driven plenty of r34s and never had them hooked up like that, not any skyline for that matter, evos and rx7s + various others have this. urs may have been hooked up that way aftermarket(?) for some odd unknown reason

Yeah I wouldn't know because it's been like that since I got it . It is a series 2 if that makes a difference ? Unless it was a factories option in japan ! But I'm happy it's there because I pan on hooking up a switch somewere so even if someone gets hold of my keys they can't start it
