How to correctly reset the ECU?

Is there a fuse I can pull out to reset the ECU?

I know for my s2k, all I have to do is pull out the "main" fuse, wait 5 mintues, put the fuse back in and turn on the car making sure not to step on the gas, or mess with the climate control. Let the car run for 10 minutes to let the ECU re-learn everything, then turn of the car and I am good to go.

How do I do this on the G35?

I'm thinking, I can just disconnect the battery for 10 min, reconnect, turn the car on and let it run for 10 min then I would be good to go..

The easiest way is to disconnect the negative battery terminal and pump the brakes 10 times. This discharges the ECU capacitors and clears any SES faults.

The easiest way is to, start your engine and turn it off, do this 3x and with the forth start you're ready to go. Edit: I do not floor the accelerator

This method works well, especially when your ECU goes into fail safe mode on the highway/street. That was my problem whenever I boosted without switching off the VDC, especially from a standing start.
