Hi there ...

I have read heaps and heaps of Manual Conversion threads, pm'd people and I still can't find exactly what I want, I have converted my Non-Turbo Auto R34 to a Neo 25det Manual, everything is in and I have been driving the car around for a few months now BUT the speedo and reverse lights don't work, I think it is about time I hook it all up ... Can someone please put up or link me to a step by step to the wiring from the ecu to the plugs in the engine bay (behind the head light) ...

Thanks in advance to everyone, I am sorry if I have missed a thread that has explained this as I have spent the last couple of days looking for it ... I have found a lot that explain the gearbox wiring colours, but I need to know what goes where etc ... I know a lot of people have taken theirs to a Auto-Electrics but I am trying to avoid that as I can do it myself once I know where it all fits into place ...

i just got mine done last week (converted from auto to man) but i dont have the wiring diagram sorry :)

goodluck though :(

Oh true ... Thanks for the luck, I am going to attempt it again this afternoon, I've done lots of research and I am going to get a friend to look at it with me, yesterday was just looking at the service manual, Ecu pinout and all the wires etc ... If I can figure it all out I will put it up for those that want to do it themselves :yes:

When we did the manual conversion on my r34 we used the following for the reverse wiring - http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=2606536

As for the speedo, I've got no idea. I think it has something to do with the abs sensor in the diff

got your reverse lights / chime working for ya ricky.

you need to supply your reverse switch @ the gear box with a sw 12volt and run the other wire into the reverse light sw wire on the auto loom. (behind headlight) as for speed arif / me are still working on it. :D

will take ShanO` and noely1 advice as it seems weird on the gearbox the speedo sensor only has 2 wires.

      R32 GTR EV? The leaf of the Godzilla's!

      By Duncan · Posted

      I can't agree. If we hadn't all been brought up with the noise caused by the inefficiency of an ICE, no-one would actually ask for all that. An EV is like any other car, it just goes better.

      2 more things I have to work out Easy one first...can anyone describe how to pull the fuel pump and sender from a 33? I can feel there is some sort of mount and clips but don't have a manual and don't know the trick......if not I'll spend some quality time in the boot witha lighter tomorrow. Second question is harder.  He had changed the upper plenum to a plazmaman but clearly got to a point with the vacuum hoses where he said "f**k it, I'm going inside for a beer" and never came back to that job because it was a mess. Am I right to think that I need: 1. Pre throttle (16mm nipple on inlet) to AAC's main 20mm fitting as the main pre throttle feed 2. ACC has a second 13m outlet joined to that 20mm fitting which I think is the pre throttle air supply for the cold start valve? 3. Cold start valve's outlet fitting then goes to Plenum (to bypass throttle?) There is some adapter on the back of the ACC with 2 fittings (13mm and 10mm), do I run the 10mm through a 1 way valve to the Brake Booster (4) and the 13mm back to a 13mm nipple on the Plenum as the Idle control (5)? 6. Run a 6mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart BOV to the Plenum? 7. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Fuel Pressure Reg to the Plenum? 8. Run a 5mm vacuum line from the Turbosmart Boost controller to the Plenum? (Wastegate already has a pre turbo pressure source running to the solenoid then the wastegate on the other side of the bay)  Any help appreciated, the GTR is quite different setup and while the Stagea also has FFP it is different again. (And no Dose, I'm not pissing it all off and putting a ethrottle on it....)

      OK, onto some questions to try and speed up the process a little. Does anyone know what core this Garret is? I know it is a high flowed standard turbo but nothing else about it. Tag says OK 0169J - 446179-5032 Same question for the injectors, I don't know what they flow and ideally can work it out before it hits the dyno, they are a mustard yellow side feed

      Quick side trip into the engine externals, alternator and PS were in place including tensioned belts, but the PS was dry (my guess is he had the steering rack reco-ed). Filled it up with Transmax Z but it will need more bleeding once the engine is running no doubt. BTW I've said before, I don't know what kind of soft animals you have in the city, but out here they breed the rats tough. I bet they were disappointed when they tasted synthetic ATF.... Coilpacks are Splitfires with a factory loom in reasonable condition. I didn't pull one put I bet the spark plugs are new as its a new engine

      Onto intake pressure test. I have a Raceworks (damn brand thieves!) pressure test adapter that lets you apply pressure through a standard tyre valve and comes with a pressure gauge.....I just blocked off the other end immediately before the throttle body. Applied 30psi....and the turbo intake immediately popped off with a bang. Sorted that but it was still leaking, turns out there is a pinhole leak at the BOV adapter that I'll have to find a local place to TIG up. I'm sure it makes SFA difference with such a small leak but I want it to be right. Everything else up to the throttle body was good. Also cleaned and oiled the KNX cone filter, and this is the AFM if anyone can identify it (car runs a PowerFC)
