Hi guys,

Just had my manual conversion done on the r33.

It works fine however when converting from r33 auto gearbox loom to manual one, few of the plugs are different and need to be re-wired because otherwise my oil pressure sensor, speedo, hicas/power steering and reverse lights dont work.

Has anyone on here done the conversion successfully and is able to show me what they've done with the wiring loom or if i can come past and have a look?

Kind of want to get this fixed up asap so i can drive the damn thing properly :bunny:

marko your best bet would be trying to get a reputable workshop to wire the thing up mate

dont want anything going wrong or any gear box issues mate....

goodluck with it and cant wait to see you out and about

who did ya coversion for u??

Turbo Tune on South Rd. They've been more than helpful throughout the whole thing, did great work, just that Nissan plugs and looms don't match up as much as I was hoping and they're quite busy with other customers cars which is understandable.

Lol you offer that advice everytime someone has an issue with their car man,

Sometimes its about saving a bit of coin via a fellow SAU member offering some advice, sometimes its an easy fix and workshops DO rip people off with telling you they fixed something that wasn't the issue making it sound like a massive job because your non the wiser basically signing a blank cheque...

+1 but only worth doing it yourself if yu know what youre doing :wub:

I've got quite a good understanding with auto electrics so wiring isnt a problem.

Anyways ive been probing the automatic loom and found out that the plugs on the auto have different components connected to em compared to the same plugs in the manual loom. I think the best thing to do is to use the automatic loom and auto trans plugs but re wire them to work with the manual, that is isolate all the wires except reverse lights, inhibitor and speedo, and make a new loom that joins them together.

Dammit nissan... theres never an easy way out :P

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
