So i followed the above and installed the microswitch at the shifter. Only bit i can add to this thread that i had to use spacers below the switch to raise it of the plastic as the switch was hard up

There is no way you will be able to stall up a 3071 unless you open up the torque converter stator. That said, it should feel better with the wire cut still. I assume you are tapping the pink/blue ec

Thanks leon. With the reverse lights where did you tap into it from. i found the harness under the driverside roof baby harness clip. The red wire with 2 silver stripes.

Geez mate, now your testing my memory, lol.

I think initially I had to go digging up top like you, near the high mount stop light. I ran a wire down the passenger side & in behind the side panel where my TV tuner is. I used this to power the reverse camera as well as switch the display input.

Then, more recently, I connected into this same wire for the Pin55 reset, so didn't actually see the reverse light wire as such. I could look at the manual to see what colour it should be, but pretty easy for you to test it by probing it with a pin.

Hey guys I might have a solution that's a bit easier than running wire from rear camera. I only did the brake wire cut today so ill have to wait till the engine light comes on to test it properly.

Months back I installed some LED strips to light the footwells and I powered them from the key barrel ring light which must be triggered by door switch/module. I haven't got my multimeter on me but I'm pretty sure it's a 12v feed as the lights needed that supply, so I was thinking piggy back that wire to the pink/blue brake ecu side and every time I'm chucking the kids in the car/loading groceries/driving with my doors open, that should reset the light automatically. And it's easy to run just across bottom of dash.

So ill wait till warning comes on to see if it will work and will post results. Cheers mates.

Hey Dave, sounds perfect since you've already found that wire.

Of course that will preclude you from launching with the door open for that fully sic Youtube video :w00t:

Hi all,

Got to test out my setup today, ECL came on in morning and I hooked the wire up to my interior light circuit to see what would happen. Light cleared after about 3 seconds, happy as.

So to anyone wanting a relatively easy way to do this mod and make it automatically reset itself, carry out the following:

Run a wire from the positive side of the ignition key light (ring) - easy to access just pull off a few trims, run it down behind stereo area (straightened coat hanger helps to feed through) across under glovebox to ecu side pink/blue wire.

Job done.

*NOTE: This mod will only work successfully if you occasionally have your car running with the doors open. Also it may still bring the light on over long distance drives, so not perfect but just another way of doing things. Cheers!

      GOT SUM's RB34

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
