Anyone Here Coverted From Auto To Manual?

[SkyHi_33]

Hi guys,

Just had my manual conversion done on the r33.

It works fine however when converting from r33 auto gearbox loom to manual one, few of the plugs are different and need to be re-wired because otherwise my oil pressure sensor, speedo, hicas/power steering and reverse lights dont work.

Has anyone on here done the conversion successfully and is able to show me what they've done with the wiring loom or if i can come past and have a look?

Kind of want to get this fixed up asap so i can drive the damn thing properly

Turbo Tune on South Rd. They've been more than helpful throughout the whole thing, did great work, just that Nissan plugs and looms don't match up as much as I was hoping and they're quite busy with other customers cars which is understandable.

Lol you offer that advice everytime someone has an issue with their car man,

Sometimes its about saving a bit of coin via a fellow SAU member offering some advice, sometimes its an easy fix and workshops DO rip people off with telling you they fixed something that wasn't the issue making it sound like a massive job because your non the wiser basically signing a blank cheque...

+1 but only worth doing it yourself if yu know what youre doing

I've got quite a good understanding with auto electrics so wiring isnt a problem.

Anyways ive been probing the automatic loom and found out that the plugs on the auto have different components connected to em compared to the same plugs in the manual loom. I think the best thing to do is to use the automatic loom and auto trans plugs but re wire them to work with the manual, that is isolate all the wires except reverse lights, inhibitor and speedo, and make a new loom that joins them together.

Dammit nissan... theres never an easy way out

wow ppl still use turbo tune for mech work....

only positive stuff ive heard from them has been the hiring of their dyno for jeff to do his remaps so really nothing good from turbo tune
