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.

Dude i Have the same problem , ever since i got my clutch replaced i have had not reverse lights, Could you please post up a pic so i can see where the wires run from to the switch so i can fix mine, this would be awesome if you could help.

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.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
