I'm looking at putting a push button start and kill switch in a track car(so security isn't a concern) just wondering if anyone's done it? I want to eliminate having a key to start it, and have 3 stage switching for acc, on, and then the start button with a kill switch, any help or diagrams I could get hold of?

Cheers

So you still want a key to turn it to acc and on?

If you still want a key, is there any reason in particular why you want a start button?

And you want a start button and a kill switch to stop the engine or to isolate the battery (remove power from everywhere)

you could consider something like this:

Ebay Link

If OP says what exactly he wants I might be able to make up a little wiring diagram

This.

Does the OP want a single push button that starts the engine as well as stops it, similar to most modern keyless style vehicles?

If so this is far more sophisticated and complicated than a race car warrants.

Yeah thats why the one ive linked is probably better. Can just hook on/acc up to the rocker switch and push button straight to the starter so you can kill it with the rocker switch and then have a few switches for anything else like launch control, anti lag, intercooler sprayer. Whatever you want

If you want a push button on off switch then yeah that will require a specialised unit or some sort of circuit to be made up

With the start button, if you have provision for an oil pressure switch you can even wire it up to inhibit start when the thing is running

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
    • I should video mine, will prob do it tomorrow    Between 1st and 3rd, you could fit another two gears. That is how loose and wobbly it is   horrible:(
