Patch Harness Overview

The Platinum Pro R35 GT-R is designed as a plug and play solution for the Nissan R35 GT-R. It allows the user to have control of the engine quickly and easily by using the supplied patch harness. The patch harness is the way the Haltech Platinum Pro R35 GT-R ECU interfaces with the standard Nissan ECU.

Please Note: The ECU patch harness is designed for the supported vehicles only. Please do not attempt to modify this harness, as doing so will void warranty as well as potentially damaging the ECU or vehicle.

The patch harness can be explained in five parts

1. The factory ECU connectors ( connect to factory ECU )

2. The factory harness connector (connect to factory harness)

3. The Haltech Platinum Pro GT-R ECU Connectors ( connect to Haltech ECU )

4. The auxiliary connectors

5. The CAN intercept connectors

Patch Harness Auxiliary Connectors

The Platinum Pro R35 GT-R patch harness incorporates the following auxiliary connections allowing the user to control external devices and to use non factory fitted sensors. Auxiliary connectors are outlined below.

Please note wiring colour variations may occur.

Auxiliary Rev Limiter

The ECU has an Auxiliary Rev Limiter that can be configured via ECU Manager in the Main setup “Inputs / Outputs” tab. The Auxiliary Rev Limiter input connector can be found on the 2 position AMP connector fitted to the patch harness. To activate the Auxiliary Rev Limiter, connect the Auxiliary Rev Limiter input to the ground wire. The wiring for this connector is below.

Figure 2 – Auxiliary Rev Limiter 2 position AMP Connector wiring

General Purpose Output

The ECU has a General Purpose Output that can be configured via ECU Manager in the Main setup “Inputs / Outputs” tab. The General Purpose Output can be found on the 3 position AMP connector fitted to the patch harness. When the output is activated by the ECU the output will switch to ground. Solenoid valves and shift lights etc can be run directly from the output, however high current devices such as thermo fans and additional fuel pumps must be activated through a relay. This way the output is only switching the relay and not a high current draw device.

The General Purpose Output is limited to 800mA Max current draw.

The wiring for this connector is below.

Figure 3 – General Purpose Output 3 position AMP Connector wiring

Wideband O2 Inputs

The Platinum Pro R35 GT-R ECU does not use the factory O2 sensors. For closed loop O2 control the user must install a wideband O2 kit which can be purchased from Haltech.

Required Haltech Part Numbers: HT010704 : Haltech dual channel wideband controller (inc one sensor) HT010714 : Additional Haltech wideband O2 sensor only

The switched 13.8V, signal ground and outputs of the controller can be connected directly to this connector. (Please refer to wideband O2 kit instructions for more information)

The wideband inputs can be configured via ECU Manager in the Main setup “ O2 Wideband 1” and “O2 Wideband 2” tabs. The wideband O2 Inputs can be found on the black 4 position AMP connector fitted to the patch harness. The wiring for this connector is below.

Please note: Wire colours may vary.

ECU Manager File Extensions

When ECU manager saves the map from the Haltech ECU, it saves the map with a Haltech specific file extension.

The File extension can be broken down as follows:

Example File : xxxx.hr35-104

Later map versions cannot be loaded into ECU's with earlier firmware versions.

ECU Manager will upgrade earlier map versions when loading into ECU's with later

firmware versions.

ECU Manager upgrades maps between versions where equivalent settings are available. However, new settings not in the original map, will be substituted with values from the new version's default map.

WHENEVER ECU MANAGER CONVERTS YOUR ECU MAP, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS CHECK YOUR MAP SETTINGS TO ENSURE THAT ALL THE APPROPRIATE SETTINGS HAVE BEEN CONVERTED CORRECTLY.

The Haltech CAN Network

The Haltech CAN network allows for simple and effective expansion in ECU capability and functionality without having to go to the trouble of wiring in a whole new computer.

Expansion is made possible by the addition of multiple expansion devices that communicate to the main ECU via a Control Area Network (CAN).

Installation time and costs are kept to a minimum as all expansion devices are powered up from the main ECU via the pre-terminated connection cable that comes with each expansion device.

Simply connect the device directly to the 8 pin CAN connector on the rear of the ECU or connect using an optional Haltech CAN Hub (order as part # HT059990) if multiple expansion devices are required.

Each expansion device is pre-programmed with a unique ID code which allows it to be recognised on the network and work correctly every time.

For current available expansion devices please go to our website at
