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:

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

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
