Hey all, introducing myself as required by this site.

About me (my cars): My daily drive is an r31, my weekend car is a z31, and my strip car is a SSS coupe with 800hp. There's always a few more things going on, but for now this is enough for introductions sake. . .

r31: straight complex gas (because it's simple, go figure), custom induction (got rid of all those nasty kinks), custom z31 rear IRS subframe (the handling is now amazing!) and LSD diff conversion (no more destroying crappy pintara diffs!).

z31: straight complex gas, custom ss316 plenum chamber (the original starves the left hand side intake in favour of the right side), buick 3.8 v6 throttle body (read crumpledore :P but 10% bigger :) ), custom induction (those kinks again), custom in cabin programmable ignition (very sweet), custom quick-shifter (and looks like a manual!) and modified overdrive selector (now a forth gear on the selector), modified gearbox line pressure (full pressure all the time, works well with manual styled shifter), dropped on it's guts with custom body kit (sick as!) and accessories. etc.

SSS: 200b SSS coupe, (extremely rare, only five or six left in the country) stripped down and fitted with a 280zx rear subframe (diff - CIG locker, brakes etc included) and a 318 mopar fireball heart transplant (now a stage V 324 @ est 800hp!) and a stage II 727 torque flight with B&M reinforced sump (stops 'em twisting with big hp). Dry weight approximately 1000kg and the strip is about 200 meters from home!

Most of my cars are in constant development, which leads me to my question. . .

Does anyone know the wiring layout/schematic for the series III rb30/r31 gearbox? I have recently swapped over the engine and box from a series III into my series I, and have come up a little short of trumps. The visible symptons are no 1st or OD, and probably soon glazed or fried clutches from crappy line pressure?

After identifying all the wires on the series III gearbox selector, I have noted that the 1st gear, and 3rd gear wires have no-where to go in my vehicles wiring loom. Is this a problem?

As for the rest of the wires from the box, I have little idea at all, and any assistance would be appreciated. I assume that this box would be hooked up to a map sensor and probably in part co-ordinated by an ecu. Electronic torque convertor lock (ETCL) up activated how?

I am not really worried about modulator valve idealisms, as I'm quite happy to run full pressure all the time, and I reckon i could hook up the ETCL via the OD switch perhaps, but obviously I need 1st and OD.

Any clues (ie, is the earlier box comparible strength wise?), or a schematic, would be greafully recieved.

Sincerely,

Maniax

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
