R33 Manual Conversion Wiring Problems

[LiQuid IcE]

Hey guys,

Just got my car back from a manual conversion but having a few hickups... tried a search and theirs tutotials for all cars but the r33.

The car runs fine, everything is beautiful...

except the reverse lights wont light up when I put it in reverse and the speedo/odometer wont work.(The revs/fuel/oil temp all work)

Also the airbag light is on and the break pedal is sticking but I figure these are easy fixes and aren't related to the wiring.

I probably won't understand but feel free to get as technical as you want and I'll pass on all the info to my mechanic. Or direct me to where I can find the info. WIll the workshop manual have this info? Where can I find a cheap workshop manual?

ALso the first 3 or 4 gears run out very quickly, I'm guessing this is because of my diff and can also be a good thing??

Thanks in advance!

hey this was the reply in another thread so I pasted it here.

For your conversion you need the wiring harness from the gearbox up to the fuse/relay box on the drivers side inner guard for the reverse lights to operate.

For the speedo to work you need the manual speedo gear drive in the box and a manual speedo head or it may be easier to buy a complete cluster second hand.

Dont ask me why Nissan have a manual and auto speedo head, but they do.

Hope that helps.

As far as the reverse lights have you checked if there is a connection to the gearbox?

that was the problem we had on the cefiro when we got it converted. there was no actual connect to the box.

Im assuming ur speedo is a similar problem with the cabling.

The gears running out fast is definitly the diff.

also, if you notice a higher comsumption of fuel its due to the ECU and diff too.

Reverse switch in the gearbox could be shagged. You can test it with a multimeter or test lamp. There should be two switches in the gearbox (neutral and reverse) each switch has two prongs sticking out under the car, pull the plugs off if they are attached and put your meter across the prongs, then push it in and out of reverse and see if the meter changes.

You have to rewire the manual gearbox reverse lights into the auto loom - they need to be wired to one of the connectors where the neutral lockout switch is now bridged.
