I have a throttle pedal adjustment box which also does basic cruise control and was wondering if anyone knows where to find the speed signal wire in a M35. It may be a yellow/blue wire on a four pin plug....somewhere.... I am trying to get the japanese instructions translated but was wondering if anyone knows.

The device is a Pivot 3 drive AC in case anyone was wondering.

There is no speed signal I can find, its certainly not going to the ecu as it all goes down the CAN line. Perhaps there is a plug under the dash near the speedo? or there could be one off the auto ecu? It would be good if you could translate the instructions and let me know too.

There is a four pin plug under the steering column on the left side or in the left front footwell kick panel area. This is what a workmate's rudimentary Japanese has told us so far.... and it's not the yellow/blue wire- that's for the brake signal.

As soon as I know more, I'll post it up.

Here's a scan of parts of the japanese wiring instructions and also the engrish manual. The plug I am looking for is N-d on the first page of the pivot 3 drive ac pdf. The middle page shows the location for plugs in the car's cabin and the chart on the last page gives you an idea where the brake plug and speed sensor wires are.

If anyone can point me in the right direction it'd be most appreciated!

Looks good, what did it cost shipped?

Andy told me it was about $320 delivered. That makes it a pretty good deal if it does the whole cruise control thing well. I don't particularly care about the throttle sensitivty control, although it could be an interesting toy to play with for a while.

I'm still investigating the integrated 'factory look' cruise but it won't be as cheap as that. Maybe it's not worth worrying about.

Re the speed wire and CAN; there must have a separate speed wire somewhere cause my info meter doesn't display speed (or anything using speed to calculate like gear position etc) yet all the other info is gathered via the CAN bus (after I reconnected a critical wire in the OBDII connector). I'd be keen to know where this wire is also.

yes its a brown plug. it also has accessories power and the optional extras plug into it. i have something plugged into mine for the remote starter etc. ive seen other stuff that use this plug too

Excellent! I'll have a look and see if mine's been tampered with. Maybe I just need to extend a wire down to the OBDII connector somewhere to get the speed to register on the Info Meter. I'll be in touch...

I have a cruise control fitted to my M35 & took speed sense from the ECU . If you can scan the instruction manual of your pivot 3 Im sure my partner could translate it for you.

Hey Brett, does that include one that I've got? I scanned a few pages to try copying sections into an online translator but it didn't work. Can I send it to you?

Cheers, Leon.

Jeez you guys are awesome. My workmate showed the instructions to his Japanese wife last night and it's "brown plug taped on the car harness" in "back left hand side of the steering". Spot on.

Looks like I'll be busy later on tonight when I get home- I'll let you know how it all works.

Thanks again.

Oh, and I looked up my IM account and the unit cost $321.63 delievered. I think it was 18001 jpy which is a pretty good price for the harness as well...

I think the cruise version (AC) is the up-spec. It's only really a throttle sensitivity controller with the added bonus of cruise function in this variant. I saw it whilst browsing and bought it on a whim. If it works as cruise above 110 then the wife'll be happy and I don't imaging we'll use it as a throttle controller.

The throttle control works but the cruise doesn't. Don't have time to look into it any further at the moment so will try to firm up which of the pins is the speed signal- the diagram shows pin 3 of 4- but doesn't say if looking from behind or infront. Sigh

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
