R32 Gtr Engine Wiring

[andygtr93]

Hey guys, just wondering if someone who has done a few of these can help me out?

Im ready to put an engine in my gtr, Ive swapped the vacuum lines off the inlet side, ive put the exhaust side including the turbos on, swapped the wiring harness over, and now I have a single pin connector and no visible sensor to connect it to

As the wiring runs, it should be near the back of the oil filter housing, or near the aac valve

There is no single pin connector on the car near it, and Im just wondering if there is an extra wire in the harness for an accesory I dont have or anything like that...

Im hoping to put the engine back in the car tomorrow after 4 months off the road...

PLEASE help me out here guys

Oil temp sensor

Should be located near the pressure sender. Right near the oil filter. Also depends on what oil filter housing you have. Standard or a/market. But that sounds like the wire you are talking about

And you can leave it disconnected if you wish, just the gauge won't work until you plug it on

Is the oil temp sender plug towards the front of the front of the filter housing? Ive got one plug which is a spade shape of the front of the filter housing but thats plugged in... the wire Im talking about is a smaller plug, with a more circular shape single pin.. it isnt hidden next to the yellow plug with the rubber boot around it is it?

Can anyone confirm or deny this???

it plugs into power steering rack in the engine bay if its the green looking round plug under the plenum area...

[andygtr93]

isnt that a 2 wire plug to the steering rack? or is that something else

yer sorry that is a 2 pin i just checked... the gtr engine harness wiring diagram shows that one u mention with 1 pin (aqua with red stripe i think it is) doesnt go to anything from what i can tell

page 790 its right in the top left hand side of the page with the 2 detonation sensors, looks like the wire anyway

Thats the one.... doesn't go to anything... that's awesome... Ive been trying to figure it out for over a week

I should have paid more attention when I was taking it all apart.

Thanks for your help mate

Sweet, I have always wondered what that wire was on mine as well, doesn't seem to affect anything so have relegated it to the bottom of my list.
