..m'kay.... I see on my phone you're having difficulties interpreting the artfully hand drawn R31 wiring diagrams... you wouldn't credit it, but they're actually more accurate than those colour diagrams in gregory's and the like...

...for your purposes though, the wiring colour legend is on sheet 1....

....the fuel pump connector is top right on sheet 2....

...pin1 (black) goes to chassis ground -- pin5 (light green/red trace)...

The best way to navigate those drawings, is to open them up in whatever image manipulation/paint program you like, and use the straight line/ruler  tool (with a highlight colour) to trace along the wire lines...not hard, no rocket science involved...

Fun facts:

The OEM diagrams are drawn to top trim level spec ~ so for example, you're looking at Silo spec wiring, but the base S3 Executive trim is also covered by the same drawing (base models just don't have all the add-on luxury bits)

One of the more sublime bits of errata, is this bit...

The wire splice between pins7,14 doesn't exist (red) -- the bridge on the cluster PCB between the same pins (green) does exist...but it's not 'there' physically...it's actually more towards the center of the PCB, exactly at the spot where they tend to crack...and if it does, only half the dash lights work... can drive you nuts chasing it ; don't ; just solder in the missing splice...

These are 'intentional' soldered and taped splices inside the loom(s) ~ there's also unintentional splices like this, due to manufacturing process when a spool of one particular coloured wire runs out, and they splice in/on a new spool. Those splices above are in the loom, LHS, underneath the front guard panel (remove to get at loom)... if water's gotten into the looms, you can expect corrosion at these splices ... keep this stuff in mind, if in the future you get any weird electrical faults... 👍

 

Nice write up solder thank you. 
that problem had fallen into another days fun. I wanted to get this cold side in and turned over so it was wired up the same to get a start.

no luck I got a couple of cough’s before the battery died unfortunately.

we have some wether on the way and I’m back to work, I will order your plugs and re wire them in the near future. 🤙

Yeah I noticed this just now. No doubt she will be running smoother next start😂🤣😂

Similar to a video I watched on YT recently. They were like "that sounded really weird..." They took it one step further though. They forgot to put cylinder 1 spark plug back in after checking timing.

Haha yeah mate, I didn’t notice till I watched the video myself haha

 

Motor done back together, surprised is a understatement with this rb30.

just think 10m under flood waters for a couple weeks, 20lt water inside the engine for 3years.

cleaning the cooling system installing new plugs leads and overflow bottle and then I’m closing the bonnet moving onto the restoration of the body. 
 

already finished few external pieces for putting the puzzle back together.

this has been very enjoyable, frustrating at times definitely. Moving forward with my silo sub!!!

thank you to everyone that has helped me so far, ✌️

New leads, over flow bottle and windscreen washer bottle cap. Gear box is getting oil shortly so I can drive it around my yard. 
running nicely! 

R34 must be getting shitty I’m spending all my time on the r31. It shit a brake switch yesterday. They are not fun to get to haha


best get into the power steering and brake system next. ✌️

Can't remember if you've done the diff yet, after my 33 went under water, it was full of water a long while later.

Drained and refilled with oil.

 

Mine hasnt been moved under its own power yet though, but inspection camera before refilling and it looked like it should be all okay. Let's hope bearings are fine ha ha!

Yeah gear box was not full but did have some water mixed with the fluid, steeering rack and brakes are next as the box is getting fluid to see if it will move around the back yard without the assistance of my patrol dragging it.

the box or motor I’m assuming will be in very used condition and shortly give up. But who knows. 🤞

i lsd got fresh oil and the old oil was not contaminated with any water.

One small step for an R31...one giant leap for a submarine?

Been a bit of work to get to this point, definitely a huge milestone for this sub✌️

    • Struggled as well. Got a 3:33.250 but couldn't find the half a second to get silver. I always slowed too much at the Esses du Karting section (specifically the last left hander going on to Maison Blanche). There's a good 1 - 1.5 seconds to be picked up there for sure. The other 1.5 seconds needed for gold would be just cleaning up the rest of the slower corners. I did notice though watching the ghost replays of guys getting 3:25's, they used the green painted surfaces to the extreme, with barely the inside tyres on the ripple strips. It looked like they had the car completely on the green paint at times (but obviously still contacting the ripple strips). 
    • Good afternoon SAU Team , I thought I would a quick update on the 400R , so far a quick ICE system mod using carlinkit , I can run full android without a phone , but it does allow for wireless carplay/android auto, loads a bit slow but everything works well. But the better update is ,I just received Fujitsubo exhaust straight  from Japan thanks to the guys at Black Hawk (https://www.blackhawkjapan.com/) (highly recommended)around 3k mark with shipping and GST . Will install this weekend , I'll post some updated pictures then.

    • Constant tension spring clamps need to be replaced if bent past a certain point. Once they turn to a certain age it's also an automatic replacement in my book. They get rusty and lose their tension. Also once hoses get to a certain age if you don't set the clamp exactly in the groove when disconnecting/reconnecting the hose it will almost certainly leak. As mentioned before you should also cap off the idle-up valve to make sure it's not sucking fluid or leaking air into the system. It's generally speaking less demotivating to figure out which change fixed your problem vs failing over and over until you locate the problem precisely.
    • Yeah , boot clamp was solid/ not sure how it got there but no leak so all good   there is loads of green grease still so do think it is likely to be a special grease or something    thanks again for your help mate to shed the light
