hey guys,

the setup i'm thinking of cosists of two standard horn style relays (as in pins 85 & 86 on coil side, pins 87a 87 and 30 on the high current side), wired together to operate a door solinoid both ways.. tired and just for the life of me cannot remember how to do it, any help appreciated :rolleyes:

cheers,

marcus

Soo... 87a is the circuit for naturally closed, and 87 is naturally open.

You've got a single pole, double throw relay right? SPDT

So when the coil is activated, 87 will join the circuit. When the coil is off, 87a will join a different circuit. I'm not sure what exactly you're doing, or how you can join two of them together though...

A double pole, double throw will let you join one circuit while turning another one off, and then vice-versa.

As far as how to "do it", i'm not sure what you're exactly doing. =-[

hey,

yeah that's it, voltage over 85 & 86 joins 30 & 87, if there is no voltage over 85 & 86 then 30 & 87 are always connected..

basically the 200ma that my alarm supplies to work the door solinoid forward and backwards is not enough current to work it. there are only two wires coming out of the alarm to connect to the solinoid which i think is a pretty standard setup, to work the solinoid one way it suplies a current over these wires, and to work it the other way it inverts that current..

what i'm trying to do is wire in a relay so the solinoids have enough power open and close the door lock.. my problem is that by using a relay the solinoid will only work in one direction, as the relay kills the alarms ability to operate it in the other direction as the change in polarity won't go through the relay.. i think..

i remember seeing a way in a previouse alarm install done by somebody else where they had two relay's wired together to perform this task.. this is what i'm after :( any help would be great :)

cheers

do this:

87 -+12v

87a - GND

30 - motor

85 -+12

86 - alarm

do both relays the same way and stick a 20A fuse on the supply.

what car btw. there may be a MUCH easier way of doing it :(

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
