Hey all! Just fitted a motor and box from a series III r31 into my series I r31. I have identified the wires from the selector switch with little problem, which is to say the car starts, the reverse lights work, and it knows when it's in neutral. However. . . 1.) The car has only 2nd and 3rd gears working, and I'm guessing some line pressure issues to soon fry or glaze my clutches?! 2.) The wires from 1st and 3rd have no home in the vehicle that I can find (the original gearbox had these wires too, but they have no mate at the plug end of things). 3.) I have little clue what the other wires from the box specifically are or what they do, or which ones are a necessity. I'm guessing there's a couple for kick back, probably three for a map sensor, a couple for the OD, and probably a couple more for the electronic torque converter lock up. The rest I would hazard a guess are for input to the gearbox's ecu (I hope not, and if so, I hope I can do without it). I'm not concerned about the niceties of modulating line pressure too much, and am happy enough to run full pressure all the time. I can probably hook the converter lock up to the OD switch, etc. If anyone could provide me with the information I need, like a wiring diagram/schematic for either or both series I and III, I would be very much appreciative. This information can also include; is the series III gearbox actually any stronger than the series I gearbox? ie, should I just put that back in? Sincerely, Maniax

Hey all, introducing myself as required by this site. About me (my cars): My daily drive is an r31, my weekend car is a z31, and my strip car is a SSS coupe with 800hp. There's always a few more things going on, but for now this is enough for introductions sake. . . r31: straight complex gas (because it's simple, go figure), custom induction (got rid of all those nasty kinks), custom z31 rear IRS subframe (the handling is now amazing!) and LSD diff conversion (no more destroying crappy pintara diffs!). z31: straight complex gas, custom ss316 plenum chamber (the original starves the left hand side intake in favour of the right side), buick 3.8 v6 throttle body (read crumpledore but 10% bigger ), custom induction (those kinks again), custom in cabin programmable ignition (very sweet), custom quick-shifter (and looks like a manual!) and modified overdrive selector (now a forth gear on the selector), modified gearbox line pressure (full pressure all the time, works well with manual styled shifter), dropped on it's guts with custom body kit (sick as!) and accessories. etc. SSS: 200b SSS coupe, (extremely rare, only five or six left in the country) stripped down and fitted with a 280zx rear subframe (diff - CIG locker, brakes etc included) and a 318 mopar fireball heart transplant (now a stage V 324 @ est 800hp!) and a stage II 727 torque flight with B&M reinforced sump (stops 'em twisting with big hp). Dry weight approximately 1000kg and the strip is about 200 meters from home! Most of my cars are in constant development, which leads me to my question. . . Does anyone know the wiring layout/schematic for the series III rb30/r31 gearbox? I have recently swapped over the engine and box from a series III into my series I, and have come up a little short of trumps. The visible symptons are no 1st or OD, and probably soon glazed or fried clutches from crappy line pressure? After identifying all the wires on the series III gearbox selector, I have noted that the 1st gear, and 3rd gear wires have no-where to go in my vehicles wiring loom. Is this a problem? As for the rest of the wires from the box, I have little idea at all, and any assistance would be appreciated. I assume that this box would be hooked up to a map sensor and probably in part co-ordinated by an ecu. Electronic torque convertor lock (ETCL) up activated how? I am not really worried about modulator valve idealisms, as I'm quite happy to run full pressure all the time, and I reckon i could hook up the ETCL via the OD switch perhaps, but obviously I need 1st and OD. Any clues (ie, is the earlier box comparible strength wise?), or a schematic, would be greafully recieved. Sincerely, Maniax
