It certainly would be a better way to do. I'm gonna do that. I haven't yet dug into the Z's ECU wiring but will do some research on it.
Back in the days I knew every wire of my OBDI car and hijacked about 50% of them

Check out this short and simple thread, it covers it for ya!

Brake Boosting

In that thread I simply talk about doing it, and mention that I had not actually done it myself yet. Later on in the year, I did end up doing it. It works perfectly.

Instead of putting the wire on a toggle switch, I just cut it and taped it back. With UpRev I disabled the P1805 code, and this way I did not need to bother with a toggle switch.

Hi phunk,
I've been searching the service manual for the right wire to hijack. Might you point me in the right direction if you've already figured it out?
I found more than one potential STOP LAMP SWITCH:
Terminal 122 of ECM connector M107
Terminal 116 of BCM connector M123
Terminal 118 of BCM connector M123

I found the STOP LIGHT FUSE number 7 in the driver side fuse box, but failed to trace it to it to one of the above terminals. Ultimately I'd like to understand why interrupting the brake wire keeps the brake light working while the fuse won't. The manual's wiring diagrams are hard to read

Please see te thread linked in my last post, it shows you exactly which wire.
