Need To Route 2 Additional Wires From Door Into Cabin

Hi there,

I need to route 2 wires from the passenger door into the cabin (addition of central locking).

What's the best way/smartest way of doing this?

There seems to be just this one door connector and it doesn't look tweak friendly

Car is R33 GTSTS2

Thanks!

Sorry,

I meant to write the driver side door, not passenger.

To my knowledge there is no 2nd pair which I could use.

Normally there is only that switch which is linked to the door latch.

Now the actuator (from an Almera) fits 100% and includes the switch (which triggers passenger side) but also needs 2 wires for the actuator functionality.

So I need to route 2 wires into the cabin in order to connect it to the alram system.

Sorry for the mixup

ah ok. forward of the door boot there is a small grommet. pop the side indicator light out and look back toward the door and it will be visible. bit of twin core jacketed cable throught that and a small cut through the door side of the door harness and you are in.

good to see you worked the actuator out. model changes across countries make things like that hard.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the input, will get to it in a minute.

(Can't wait to have a proper central locking)

Yes, a Nissan Almera (1995) doorlatch was exactly what I needed.

The actuator fits right in .. works beautifully.

:)

On the left the Skyline locking switch, right the Almera actuator (4 wire)

Thanks,

all done now, works very smoothly and without any noise.

It's been a bit of a job since I had to revisit my alarm system wiring which had not been finished until the actuator was installed.

This 'mod' really propelled my car into the 21th century :)

Gone are the days fumbling with that key ..

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
