Ok, here we go.

I am hooking up the knock/detonation harness on my 94 R32 RB26 motor. There are a total of six plugs. Two knock sensor plugs, two AAC plugs, an oil temp sensor plug, and an unaccounted for plug.

This one plug has a single light green and red stripe wire going to it and that is it. I cannot see where this plug goes for the life of me. Any help on this would be greatful. Thanks all.

Sorry but I fully have to necro this thread.....

For future reference to anyone coming across this on an RB26 GTR. The reason you have a green wire with red trace unaccounted for is because there is a small one wire patch loom for the oil temp sensor, about 250mm long. One end goes to the temp sensor on block ( the one with a red spade crimp connector in my case) and the other end goes to a grey connector on the chassis rail loom above the front diff. It is not immediately apparent that it is the same thing unless you untape the loom to discover this. Was asking the same thing earlier this year on the Nitto 2.8 build and never picked up on it before, and I've probably done 9+ RB26 rebuilds before. Must have been the first time I'd unplugged it at the chassis rail connector and the oil temp sensor. Yay for thread necro !

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
    • i need a complete tail light for my R33 GTR if you have please let me know.
