Gday all my names Chris and i plan to run an 044+surgey and im a bit stuck with the wiring. (ive searched and couldnt find anything i could understand)

First of all i don't really understand the use of a relay, (i know im a noob flame suit is already on) i've googled and what not but i still dont see the necessity?

If anyone has a wiring diagram or their own setup they could help me with that'd be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Chris

So you don't understand how to do it, yet you find the use of a relay un-necessary?

Yeah people just spend more time wiring them in for nothing, so you should be right to skip it.

Stolen from GTR.co.uk, this is how I set up mine..

I havent read your threads in depth, but... To "hard wire" your pumps via a relay, Which is what i did. You run the earth directly to battery, or a very good body earth (Use wire that is capable of delivering 15amps+ per pump.)

Get a 4 pin relay ( ive got a 30 amp relay, but Im only running one HKS pump. Higher amp relays are availiable) The pins on a 4pin relay, are numbered 85,86,30 and 87. Pins 85 and 86, are for the switching windings and 30,87 is where your current runs through.

Take your permanant live wire directly from the battery, and connect it to pin 30. From pin 87,wire to the live side of the pump.

Pin 85 should go to earth (5, or 8 amp wire).

Connect the original pump live to pin 86 on the relay. Done. Mount the relay so it looks good.

A standard pump uses approx 5amps on tick over, so allow 15 for a proper one. put a fuse in the main live. 20amps per pump id say, and use the same amp rated wire you use for your earth. you could run one, or two relays it depends what you want to do.

This method allows the ecu to switch the pumps as intended.:rofl2:

Have a read of this too, explains how relays work.

haha cause its so much easier to have a go at someone than actually explain it.

50+cool points to you bloke.

I didnt say they werent a neccesity i just dont understand why their needed.

Ive read that and it doesnt say why you should run a relay as opposed to just running a direct wire feed.

btw i dont mind if you come in here and be all like "your a dickhead you dont know anything im number 1 internet warrior look at meee" it just proves what sort of person you are.

Cheers for trying to help though Jonno :rofl2:

Heres a diagram of what you pretty much just said johno.

Anyways i've had more of a read and im starting to understand the application of a relay cheers johnno

The two main reasons for using a relay are

1. minimising voltage drop - using heavy cable shortest route between battery and load (pump)

2. Allowing all the other wiring and switches in the circuit except the relay to be relatively low amperage (inside the ecu etc)

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.

      Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
