So recently I've been looking into a Bee R rev limiter to put on my 1990 NA. Ive searched around for write ups about how people wired it but there's a few things that I'm concerned about... First of all my car is a '90 so its OBD1 (I'm pretty sure the write ups I've seen are OBD2) so I'm not sure if the wiring will be the same. Secondly I have no clutch switch, if my car is in neutral I can start it with out the pedal. What do I wire the clutch switch of the rev limiter to instead? Make a toggle switch?

Uh, you definitely want a clutch switch for a launch controller. Just saying. And the only year of z32 for obdii was 96,and there aren't a ton of things for the 96 out there. You probably are reading one for the 90-95 and don't realize.

My car came without a clutch switch though. I read something about people using the ebrake instead of the clutch switch? Thats actually really helpful to know about 96+ being OBDII

If it came without, it's most likely an Auto to 5 speed swap. Mine will be running without one as well. However, you can install one and just use it for the launch control.

The reason you don't want to run it off anything else is because you can hold the throttle to the floor and only rev to the set RPM, then as soon as you release the clutch, you have full throttle range. To do it with the E brake complicates things and adds timing issues. Rev limiters are about simplification of launch, not complication.
