Conversion Issues!

[nsta]

Just converted my auto rb25det to manual, and have a few issues:

1) car reverse light not working

2)car speedo is way off

3)oil temp guage goes to max in neutral, and goes to nil when in gear

4)prolly the main issue, the brakes are engaging while i drive, and it was gradually getting worst, till it got so outta hand that when i even feathered the brake, the brakes were applied so bad, it was nearly 100% on, i was wondering why the car was going slow hahaha....trust me the brakes started to smeell too....anyone come accross this issue, as its quite a serious thing to not have brakes working , or working all the time......to test i put the car in neutral and handbrake down on a hill, and the car did not even move at all.....thats how much pressure is applied to the brakes, and is engaging for no reason!

Some serious wiring "debugging" is in order. You have possibly connected the reverse switch wires into the original neutral / inhibiter switch circuit.

The brake problem is probably the result of poor adjustment of the brake pedal ride height. The pedal is maintaining some pressure in the system, and the brakes are not releasing properly.

how do i adjust the pedal ride height?

Not really pedal height (my bad). You need to adjust the pushrod from the pedal into the back of the master cylinder. It should just have free-play.
