Haltech rev limiter - fuel vs spark
you cant cuz apparently all the shops that saw these at SEMA and PRI cannot be bothered to post anything about them 
you will need the CAN hub to go to the haltech and the input/output box for sensors and other triggers. Stuff that is already included standard with ProEFI and Vipec

You dont need the can hub for the 350z pnp box. You can only use one IO box anyways with the platinum anyways, only the pro plugin boxes can use more then one.
I've only got the fuel cut to work on mine and have tried doing ignition cut but cannot get it to work and asked around for about 3 months about it and also talked to Hal about it personally at the track one day and if I remember correctly we can only do fuel type cut. At least in an HR car I know, DE may be different.

HR and running Haltech.
I read this on the NASIOC forum:
Is this true?
with ign cut, you have a perfectly combustible air fuel mixture IN the chamber (which will wet the cylinder walls with raw fuel), then in the 1000*F exhaust manifold a few milliseconds later. sooner or later you WILL get a HUGE afterfire which CAN and HAS lifted exhaust valves off their lifters. compared to the valvetrain, the turbo is the LEAST of your worries.
look around this site for people who did massive and catastrophic top end damage after the utec's launch control was released. pay particular attention to the mode of limiting. you WILL see a pattern emerge. what made matters much worse for many of them was the very delicate shim over bucket design in the 02 and early 03 model years, but make no mistake valvetrain damage can happen to ANY car with huge afterfires in the exhaust manifold. obviously high tension springs, and shim under bucket (or better still, shimless buckets) will reduce your risk, but it can never be eliminated.
also, if you have any cats in your car and you're dumping raw fuel into them, don't expect them to last. there's a reason why oem ecus are so sensitive to misfires, and it's the same reason why you'll never see an ign cut rev limit on any USDM production car built in the last 10+ years. too much raw fuel will destroy the catalytic reaction and possibly MELT the cat substrate itself.

I doubt it. First, I think the unburnt fuel would serve to cool the EGTs. And second, there is a clear low pressure path for gas escape via the exhaust. I sincerely doubt you will get valvetrain damage as there is no way to build nearly as much pressure as you get during combustion in a sealed chamber. I call BS.
Keep in mind anti-lag actually initiates a very late burn as the exhaust valves open and that is rough on the turbos but why would it damage the valves when the gas can just go around it?

If the fuel cooled down EGT's wouldn't "back-firing" never occur in any vehicles because the unburnt fuel couldn't combust in the exhaust as it was too busy cooling things off? Plus, let's say the unburnt fuel makes it to the Cat's where it gets exposed to platinum. Now it will lower the ignition point for the reaction and combust there.
Like I said, though, the explosive force will follow the path of least resistance and that will be downstream, so I find it hard to believe (I could be wrong) that valve damage could occur.

I totally agree with you, overall. I just think that the bold portion sounds like it makes sense, but probably doesn't.
