It's a V35 Skyline pedal, ie same as the 350Z without the alloy pedal. I did have a 350Z one but wanted one with a rubber pedal.

Where'd you find one of these pedals I can only find the metal foot with a massive top covered bracket area?

Whoops, meant to say G35.

This might be easy for you to access in your part of the globe.

Hahaha Na mate True blue! 

Did you make your own harness for that vq35 pedal to throttle and what ECU did you run it to? I was reading over the haltech DBW diagram last night I have a pnp elite 2500 in the 34. They say to signal ground any linked grounds near the ECU so individuals signal grounds run from each throttle and pedal back to the ECU then you just splice them in before pinning into the plug right?

 

Yes I did, in hindsight, I should have just bought a fast, modern car like a M2 or 3 instead of modding this shit box.

I ran a new patch harness from pedal to ECU. The power and sensor ground goes from the ECU to the pedal, then it is spliced from there to DBW TB.

If you hop on IG, I have photos of my shit box, @nhbautomotive

That's one tidy boat! :P

Had a few 33's back in the day yours looks like it rips I think it's definitely far opposite of shit box haha

It's slow for today's standards, does ok around the circuit compared to most boats lol

I would sell this shitbox in a heart beat if someone offered the right money. Will straight away go buy a M3 and let everyone on this forum make fun of it lololol.

What could potentially be done to bring it up to today's standards and do you just not like the chassis or the heart? 

Hey hey hey can't talk about that euro stuff in here! :P

I was looking over that forum posted earlier from the fella that did the DBW on the factory plenum and noticed how he didn't delete the idle air control and cold start valve?? Also why didnt they mount the DBW throttle straight to the plenum and invert it or can they only be orientated that way. It stopped him using his tower brace 馃

Would need a big list like adaptive cruise, lane assist, DCT or ZF, keyless start/lock/entry, adaptive suspension, better sound deadening, more airbags, better ABS system, traction strategy, etc. I'm pretty much describing a M2 or 3 or 4 lol.

Probably due to cost, I believe he just paid a shop. If I were to approach that, I would take off the top plenum and get the flange welded on and then get all the crappy OEM leak valves, emissions crap shaved off.

  • 9 months later...

Ended up completely forgetting to keep tabs on what's been happening so 10 months down the track and with much guidance thanks to Dose Pipe the semi finished dbw build ended with 300rwkw flex tuned on E85. 

Here's some photo spamming.

Changed seals and gaskets as I went here and there. Bypassed the heater core for the moment until I pull the motor and aircon to do new heater lines and core fittings.

Replaced spigot bush and added a NPC pull button clutch.

Sorry for the wack order of photos...

Got some powder coating done and ceramic coating on the manifold and turbine housing for the Hypergear High flowed stock turbo.

 

After some mucking around and a message to haltech managed to chase down and fix an issue where the dbw wasn't receiving enough voltage.

Hypertune 100mm thick cast end tank cooler welded up and sat right at home. 

DBW flange welded to the Rajab upper half plenum then plumbing through under the battery tray.

45mm external gate fitted up and plumbed back into the down pipe.

Got her home safely.

Just have a few more things to fiddle around with and change but I'm very very happy with the end result and I'd like to thank 

 

Dose Pipe (NHB automotive) for taking so much of his not existent spare time to talk me through so much shit I honestly owe this man my car. 

 

MK raceworks (Matt) Extremely talented, cool, kind bloke did above and beyond with all the fab work and resolved all and any issues without a break of sweat. 

 

DVS Tuning (Jez) For being patient with me for 7 years endlessly talking about getting the car there eventually and then having the patience to fit me in last minute you sir are a legend.

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 馃槂
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
