    Converting My R33 To Manual

    in Drivetrain and transmission

    okay so i've done a bit of research on how to get this all done, it sounds simple enough for me so i MIGHT attempt it. either way this is where i'll be dumping all of my info and if i do it myself i'll try and get a step-by-step happening.

    my main issue is the wiring, so far i've gotten the following information from different parts of the net.

    you have 2 options when wiring - you can cut off the auto loom and solder in a manual one and just connect everything or do the following;

    you need to connect 3 looms to the manual box;

    - speed sensor, neutral (drops idle/timing to suit), reverse (to turn the reverse lights on).

    imagining the box is mounted, the speedo sensor sits at the front of the 3 looms, then reverse and neutral is the last.

    the speedo sensors have universal looms so they just plug right into manual/auto without any modifications.

    there are a group of five other cables that come off the auto gearbox (near the fuse box).

    there are 2 larger gauge wires that need to be soldered or crimped to one another - the auto has a fail-safe that doesnt allow the car to be started in any other place then neutral and park - connecting these 2 wires disables this.

    the next ones are the neutral and reverse switches.

    these are 3 wires that contain a ground wire. they are colour coded to make it simpler.

    green = reverse

    white = neutral

    black = ground

    so to recap, in order from the furthest front sensor to rear on the manual gearbox, you are doing the following;

    - speedo connects straight on

    - neutral = connect to white wire

    - reverse = connect to green wire

    - ground = ground the black wire

    i'll be updating this with pics if i go ahead and do it myself. will keep this thread updated as much as i can.

    cheers,

    joe

    I am in the middle of doing the conversion now can anyone tell me what the wires on the car side not the gearbox side

    You are not bedding them in properly then. They worked for 30mins because sanding removed the glaze, but they just glaze over again as you dont bed them in properly. Look it up on google.

    Basically you want to drive around at about 40km hr and keep applying your brakes and releasing, the idea is to not heat them up much at all, while wearing them in to the shape of the disc. So about 10-20 light applications of the brakes, no heavy stopping or anything.

    Thanks for that man , i will give that a go
