Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has had brake switch as an error code come out of their V35 350GT-8 before.

The transmission service has been fully completed and computer reset but she is still not changing gears and we are getting brake switch error coming out of the tranny.

Have been corresponding with CVT NZ and Nuwan but we are all at a bit of a loss now.

Cheers

Erggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sorry to tell you champ, but once you have a problem with the GT8 trans that is it - you will fix one, develop a new error, fix the next, develop a new one etc etc etc ...... go read all the threads and nightmare stories .... most end up getting parted out ... didn't I warn you on here before you bought the car?

Unfortunately I had already bought the car.

The general consensus from all who know a thing or two about them is our issue isn't the transmission. Appears we have a wiring issue with communication going to the transmission. So looks like the transmission isnt the bad guy this time.

Check that the ecu is getting it's brake signal to the engine ecu, pin 101 I think. That would throw an engine light though. I don't think there is a direct brake signal to the gearbox but I haven't played with the cvt's at all yet.

If it is in the box you will need to get it on a consult 3 unit for diagnosis. What unit did you use to read the error? Do you have the code number?

The mechanic used consult 2, I have just asked if we can get a consult 3 to hook up to it.

In the G35 manual it appears that the brake switch is apart of the vehicle stability system and the switch most would classify as the brake switch is in fact called the vehicle stop light switch. So we are seeing what we can find in relation to the wiring for this ASCD Brake Switch to see if it could be this.

Hopefully the consult 3 gives us some more information.

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
