Hello there, I have a problem.

The wires that connect to the neutral and reverse switch in the gearbox of my R32GTS4 (same and an R32GTR) are missing. This means that my reverse lights don't come on when I am reversing which is an issue fo rego. I can't really see where the wires are meant to go; though I am guessing that they join the engine loom somewhere around the alternator. I need help can anyone

a. confirm where these wires connect to the loom

b. confirm which wires in the loom connect to which wires on the switches

Thanks, Ben 0411 243 284.

Hi Zardo, I have attached a picture from the R32GTR workshop manual with the reverse switch circled. I am guessing that they have forgotten to plug yours in properly when they put the gearbox back. I can't tell you exactly where the wires are going because that is my question. I think my wires got caught up on my front driveshaft and got pulled out. I have the switches, but don't know where they are going. If you get under your car to check that your switches are plugged in, maybe you could take a look at where the wires are going and what colour wires plug into your reverse switch?

This picture is pretty self explanitory after you have taken a look under your car. Essentially the neutral and reverse switches are located near the top of the driver's side of your gear box. If you get under the car and locate the front drive shift coming from the gearbox you will notice that these are just above there - quite difficult to get your hands to!

Thanks. Also, if its possible while you are down there; can you please tell me what colour wires on the car side of the connectors are plugging into the a. neutral switch and b. revese switch (or a. the switch on the rear side of the car and b. switch on the front side of the car)? It woudl be a massive help as I have nothing at all there!

These are the wires that I have hanging out which I assume are for the neutral and reverse switches. Can anyone confirm that these should be them. Not that this picture is of the driver's side of the engine under the plenum, you can see the alsternator in the back.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
