Auto-manual Conversion

[xX_Skylin3-Boy_Xx]

I have a Skyline GTE (RB20E Auto) and have put a GTS (RB20DE Manual) motor and manual gearbox into it.

all was straight forward apart from the wiring. It wont start because (ive been told) it thinks its in drive. What do i do, do i bridge wires or what? and what wires do i bridge.(photos would be good).

Also my reverse lights dont come on when i put it into reverse and how the hell do i fix this problem, its pissing me off

THanks

Can't give you photos. However, you need to find the 2 wires that were connected to the "don't start if it's not in Neutral or Park" switch (that's the technical name, more commonly referred to as ?? - is it the safety switch? - I'm not really an auto person). Just connect them together so the ECU thinks the (auto) gearbox is in Park.

Similarly for the reverse lights, find the 2 wires and hook them into the reverse switch. Or maybe the reverse switch is broken.

Here is a photo.. I am just in the process of converting mine to manual, amongst other things..

I just labelled them based off the old auto shifter, and I think I've got it down. But could be wrong..

So you just gotta find out which one isn't 12v when the lights are on (the globe), and I think the other two are your park switch. Bridge them together.

For your reverse lights, you're going to have to hook into your gearbox reverse wires.. I think its the sensor at the back of the box..

Anyhow, I gotta play with it all and work it out myself.. when i do I'll post it up somewhere.

hey

i just finished convertin my rb30 2 manual it should b the same not 2 sure but ill c if i can help, i cant give pics as it might b different.

well 2 solve the neutrel switch prob i found the wire that runs from the the started motor it should run up past ur battery and have a plug might b black and yellow, well unplug it and ull have 2 run a wire from the wire off the starter motor 2 ur key should b the same wire colour, this basically bypasses the nutral switch. thats if u want 2 cut wires and so forth if not just loop the plug underneath or connect it 2 the back plug 1 b4 speed senser if its the same i really dont no.

and as 4 the revers its the front plug on the box if its the same lol, just find the plug that went in2 the auto should have ur speed senser wires in it, it should b from the back of the box speed, nuetral and revers i think neway if ur un sure of this check th manual book 4 help should give some help.

well i do hope this has help in some way. blue demon.
