Why would you need a Wiring diagram for any car?

Surely a test light and a multimetre would be able to tell you all you need to know about a vehicles wiring system. It is just a matter of knowing how to apply these tools.

If you really are going to rely on a wiring diagram then I would say this -

- your car will be easy to steal because you dont know how to instal.

So please, take your car to a professional that will do it properly, spend the couple of extra bucks on a decent instalation.

Pj Thanks for the advice... I do understand what you are saying and I would do exactly as you say except I am 52 years old and have had too many bustups on the track over the years and I don't bend to fit under the dash like you young fellas....

There is an old saying about re-inventing the wheel. Why should we spend ages working stuff out when people already know the answer.

A wiring diagram makes it quicker to find what you are after.

I don't think one should simply cut the wires then twist and tape, but a diagram to give us an idea where stuff is at, so we can then confirm with a test lamp is a good idea.

I'm about to try install an alarm myself, so I'm currently browsing for diagrams or some info to help me get started, all I can find is you telling people to pay lots of money for an install. I'd prefer to do it myself, so when something goes wrong, I can fix it myself.

Don't try and say a professional's work never goes wrong... many years of modifying cars has told me that isn't true.

So can anyone give me a heads up on any sort of diagram for a R33 S2 GTSt?

Its a good gesture to think of security like that... however, as someone who has obviously done alot of wiring, would you not agree that:

a) no matter how much studying of a wiring diagram you do, nothing compares to actually getting in the car and doing it

b) having said that, if i want to be an uber car theif who can disarm an alarm in seconds, i would be far better off working as an alarm installer than studying wiring diagrams

I think you know because of your experience, people asking for wiring diagrams are going to take a few hours to sort their shit out once they start cuting and joining wires. the people you have to worry about aren't those requesting diagrams.

its like saying i won't give u a martial arts book incase u turn into a ninja....

I still stand by this.

Oh, and as a side note, if your "professional installer" uses a cheat sheet, wiring diagram or the likes, then take your car somewhere else.

You would be suprised at the low skilled people who pass themselves off as alarm installers.

With the end result being the alarm has no effectiveness and makes the car easy to steal.

A)

correct. however if you are willing to do that then you can make your own diagram. somehting I do daily.

B)

yes. now if you do it in NSW then you are linked to a database that is linked DIRECTLY to teh police.

now I will not hand out diagrams to anybody for two reasons:

1. having to repeat myself 20-30 times.

2. geeting blamed for someone elses F'up when they grenade an airbag or frying a harness.

3. if you need a diagram then you really shouldnt be working on the car as per PJ's point.

So you guys don't believe in reference material?

So each car you get in, you ALREADY know where the wires are you want... wait, you just said you make your own diagrams daily... but then you say anyone who uses one doesn't know what they are doing... do you make them and not use them?

Clearly you both know alot about alarms and installs, but I'm not bringing my car to you when I can do it myself. oh and you are from like ages away.

The reason I still bother with the point is I think you aren't achieving all that much treating wiring diagrams as skeleton keys.

Fair point not wanting to get blammed for shit, I hope no one on these forums would do that tho.

Haven't done a massive search. This is what I came up with so far. No idea if its similar to R33 or not, haven't checked yet.

**URL Removed**

If anyone tries to use this, they should take responsibility for their own actions.

I am sure the owners of these cars will thankyou for the service you have provided. Skylines get knocked off enough as it is. Great work.

Let me make this point clear. I do not currently work as an installer, I do not currently work in a Car Audio or security shop. I left that long ago and graduated to the big leagues.

So let me tell you about one of things I do for money.

I work as a consultant to a couple of Major insurance companies here in Australia. I assist them when cars have been stolen/ recovered and there is a dispute relating to the insurance claim.

My job specifically see's me looking at cars with security devices installed.

As you are obviously aware, to be covered by insurance you will need an Australian standards immobiliser or better fitted to the car.

Great, so you buy your product from ebay or jb to save a couple of bucks, then fit it yourself.

WHEN your car is stolen, you make your claim, you have a product receipt, you dont have an install receipt. You say you put it in yourself.

1st question - Do you have a current NSW security licence?

No? dont got one - CLAIM VOID NO MONEY OR CAR

2nd Question - Do you have a certificate or accreditation from the Alarm manufacturer?

No? dont got one - CLAIM VOID NO MONEY OR CAR

3rd Question - Have you got more than 5 years industry experience in this (nsw) or other states within Australia?

No, CLAIM VOID - NO MONEY OR CAR

So, please dont beleive me, save a few bucks up front, cars dont get stolen that often and you are always going to park it in a "safe" place.

We were just trying to provide some honest advice that may help you to keep your car safe, but please disregard that.

Maybe next time you are on google you could post up all the threads from all the import forums of all the skylines that are stolen never to be seen again because the owner "saved a few bucks".

You don't really think that will help someone steal cars do you?

How about this one: MANY people DON'T insure their skylines. Did you know that?? Thats right, alot of people don't insure their vehicles because the people that pay you, the insurance companies, are an absolute raught! BIG BUCKS, not a few, MASSIVE BUCKS.

I have no doubt every case you stated causes a - CLAIM VOID NO MONEY OR CAR

Cause thats how they roll! I know a bloke who had a motor cycle stolen, they went through his PHONE RECORDS, two seperate sit down interviews, so on... and I don't know if they have paid yet. Insurance doesn't really phase me.

I had a motor bike stolen recently, I know what I did wrong, it won't happen again. I got it back anyway, due to a kill switch... which don't work so you say... Point is, it should have been chained up and a screech alarm to let me know someone was touching it would have helped, so thats what it has now.

Its great you have such good intentions, but get some touch.

Any theif that is good enough to by pass security would not be checking out this thread hoping I would post up some info, they would already know exactly what they were doing. You know that.

in my case yes. I know how to use a multimeter and know what to stay clear of when working on the cars.

I do- after 17 years doing this I know a fair bit about the cars I do. if I do not then I go to a local dealership and talk to a tech about it ( this is the case with a new benz , porsche,volvo etc.) for a few minutes then go prod with multimeter.

- bah, let that info into the wrong hands- would you like your gone with info found on the net. its that easy.

trust me I get blamed for things I DIDNOT do daily to cars. its easier not to give info aout in most cases and not have to deal with it.

the diagram you linked to is incorrect btw.

I'm sorry, but how can a wiring diagram, for a car, help a theif?

I can understand if it's the wiring diagram for the alarm, but isn't the person asking for the diagram for the car?

In which case, people need these daily for doing thinks like ECU installs. (Ones that aren't plug and play!)

    • I did read your post, a few times actually.    Done. Followed this step. [Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.]   Did this partially.. now that im reading this over, i only unplugged the LED lights. [Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches.] When you are talking about the switch, you're talking about the knob thing on the right side in the drivers seat right? If so, i need to take that apart?  [Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch.] At this point are you referring to the connector by the headlights?  [If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.] Did this. I can confirm that the LED lights aren't the issue [Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.]
    • Hey was wondering if you ended up installing the R33 GTR speed sensor - I found one too and wanted to confirm it's a direct swap into the R34 6 speed?
    • After 23 years of owning a Skyline, finally had the latch go.  Followed this guide,  works like a dream again. Great Guide 👍
    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄
