Hey guys,

Just got my car back from a manual conversion but having a few hickups... tried a search and theirs tutotials for all cars but the r33.

The car runs fine, everything is beautiful...

except the reverse lights wont light up when I put it in reverse and the speedo/odometer wont work.(The revs/fuel/oil temp all work)

Also the airbag light is on and the break pedal is sticking but I figure these are easy fixes and aren't related to the wiring.

I probably won't understand but feel free to get as technical as you want and I'll pass on all the info to my mechanic. Or direct me to where I can find the info. WIll the workshop manual have this info? Where can I find a cheap workshop manual?

ALso the first 3 or 4 gears run out very quickly, I'm guessing this is because of my diff and can also be a good thing??

Thanks in advance!

hey this was the reply in another thread so I pasted it here.

For your conversion you need the wiring harness from the gearbox up to the fuse/relay box on the drivers side inner guard for the reverse lights to operate.

For the speedo to work you need the manual speedo gear drive in the box and a manual speedo head or it may be easier to buy a complete cluster second hand.

Dont ask me why Nissan have a manual and auto speedo head, but they do.

Hope that helps.

As far as the reverse lights have you checked if there is a connection to the gearbox?

that was the problem we had on the cefiro when we got it converted. there was no actual connect to the box.

Im assuming ur speedo is a similar problem with the cabling.

The gears running out fast is definitly the diff.

also, if you notice a higher comsumption of fuel its due to the ECU and diff too.

Reverse switch in the gearbox could be shagged. You can test it with a multimeter or test lamp. There should be two switches in the gearbox (neutral and reverse) each switch has two prongs sticking out under the car, pull the plugs off if they are attached and put your meter across the prongs, then push it in and out of reverse and see if the meter changes.

You have to rewire the manual gearbox reverse lights into the auto loom - they need to be wired to one of the connectors where the neutral lockout switch is now bridged.

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
