Umm, I know I'm a bit Jonny-come-lately, but, which wire is it that people are cutting/switching? Sounds like something I need to do.:thumbsup:

Yeah Andy, you do! Everyone with a M35 should do this. Then crossing a busy road won't require such a big gap.

It's pin 55 on the ECU, but run it via a switch so you can "cut" the wire at will (& reconnect it also). If the ECU doesn't see the brake switch every so often (days normally) it will eventually throw a code. Good news is the code disappears if you switch the wire back into circuit & put your foot on the brake.

For more info have a read of this thread from about here (or even a few pages before -it's very interesting): http://www.skylinesa...ost__p__5832870

I found out today, after months driving with the wire cut, it will eventually go into throttle limp. I was driving when I suddenly noticed the throttle wouldn't go past 24% on the informeter. A quick roadside ecu reset didn't clear it, unplugging the ecu did as I couldn't get to the wires.

I have a switch in the dash now... :)

>_< I'm getting DTC 1805. In theory once you flick the switch and press the brake does it go away? Or do you need to clear the code?

If its like other error codes Ive experienced in the M35 (eg dead AFM) the code wont clear automatically when the problem is resolved (ie plug the new AFM in and its still showing you a CEL - but the car is operating fine). If its no longer in limp mode, I would suggest that it will self clear over the next couple of days; but if you're feeling pedantic you can clear the codes manually thumbsup.gif

Funny thing is that I haven't noticed a drop in power, although I wasn't giving it much this morning. Better take it for a drive at lunch and see what's up.

If the limp mode caused by the wire cut is the same as the one with a blown AFM you'd definitely notice, even when not giving it much. Basically theres a ~2100 RPM rev limiter in place and it bounces off that once when you try and move your foot much more than 1/4" on the pedal.

Pure weirdness then. I'm sure it's 1805 but I would have revved it higher than 2100 RPM this morning. I know I was tired this morning but surely not that much! :rolleyes:

If its the wire cut you just have to reconnect the wire and press the brake, you will be good for another few months. If you leave it the car will go into limp mode eventually and limit the throttle.

I just read Andys first post in this thread, he suggested that the limp mode imposed was that "Under hard acceleration = reduced response" which is a bit different to the rev limited limp mode. So, given how tired you were Jase you mightnt have noticed :P but as Scotty said - flick that switch you put in and see if it seems normal now?

The above could be true as in my experience when the light came on (from the brake wire cut) I didn't notice any drop in performance or rev limit being imposed, but I also wasn't doing anything considered 'hard acceleration'. As for resetting the code, for me it was as simple as flicking the switch back to normal & pressing the brake pedal. Maybe it is different if the MIL has been on for a long time.... Also, I don't know how Scotty got a months driving between resetting. I got about 500km before my light came on.

Edit: just thinking about this - it's probably because Scotty has a light on permanently due to the Emanage. He is probably talking about a proper limp mode, which is quite on the cards if left for an extended period.

^lol.

It's just 12V that needs to be applied to the ECU pin to clear the code. Can get it from anywhere. Of course if you don't use the original brake wire & switch in some permanent 12V, you'll have restricted throttle all the time.

I'm starting to think of a good idea for a "valet mode"....:whistling:

Yeah I get coming on around every 500km. Ive never noticed any difference, but its usually when im just cruising along so just press the brake slightly with my left foot while holding the button and the light goes out after a couple of seconds

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.

      GTR R34 Limp Mode

      By steven7270 · Posted

      So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?

      Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!

      That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
