I think Microtech got it all screwed up.

Pin 30 is (nearly always) +12V

85 / 85a are the 2 pins oriented at right angles to Pin 30 (assuming a standard Bosch 5-pin relay here). These are outputs.

Pins 86 / 87 are parallel to Pin 30, and they do the switching so that Pin 30 connects power to 85 / 85a.

Thus:

......._

....I.._..I

........I

.........85

....86 85a 87

.........30

(Ignore the dots, just so that the spacing comes out right)

So

30 = +12V

87 => MT8

86 <= ignition power

85 => pump

Okay,

blind_elk: My relay has the following pins:

......._

....I.._..I

........I

.........87

....86 87a 85

.........30

Even wiring it up as you suggested (swapping 87 with 85) still didn't work, but the relay still turns off after 5 seconds or so.

kjb_r33: Power is coming out of the constant power line which is fused via a 15 amp fuse. Power is also coming out of the contacts when connected.

Has anyone wired an aftermarket computer in an R31 aussie built skyline? Loce to hear from you.

Something interesting I just found. When the ignition is turned off, the positive off the fuel pump is really ground and when the ignition is turned on, it has power. What is going on here?

Six wires come from the fuel pump. One is an earth, two are for the fuel warning lamp and gauge, one goes to the fuse box and the others go to the computer. The ones that go to the computer (white & black) are both via a shielded cable. Can Someone tell me how to wire up these two wires.

Or do I use the wire that runs from the fuel pump to the fusebox instead?

Okay, spoken to microtech and they said that I need the positive wire from the fuel pump connected to the right pin. Can Someone tell me what wire from the pump to the computer is the positive one (r31 aussie built). The white wire that is shielded has negative power when the ignition is turned off but has positive power when the igintion is turned on. The black wire that goes with this wire has nothing (no power or ground). It can;t be the white wire as I have connected it up to the relay but no fuel pump. Is there another that I'm missing? The wire that goes to the fuse box (blue or green?), is that positive power from the pump?

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • 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).
