Hi all,

Ive searched about everywhere but nothing seems to be the same issue that I may have.

Doing auto to manual conversion in m s2 r33 gtst bought the conversion kit with absolutely everything down to the ecu came with loom from manual thru to power cable at fuse box this loom has on it Knock sensors, starter motor power, starter solenoid power, 3 cables to connect to manual, power steering solenoid ect im sure I have forgotten a few.

My question is I removed 2 separate sort of looms when removing the auto 1 was connected to the auto only and ran right up and pluged in at what I can only describe is the front chassis rail drivers side near radiator. The second loom had all the knock sensors and starter motor crap on it

The loom I removed has a lot more plugs than the one supplied with the conversion kit does this sound normal to people can anyone enlighten me or do I have to get the wiring diagram and go over it myself im hoping for the lazy way out and one of you guru's can give me some advice.

cheers,

I've just completed the ,annual conversion and have wired up the reverse lights and the neutral sensor correctly. Now I am just wondering the speedo and oil pressure gauge are not currently working and the power steering is slightly heavy and hicas light is on. Assuming I have not wired these up as the plus is different on the manual gearbox loom.

Anyone confirm where the wires are or n which plug on thE car side (car originally an auto).

Thanks

Manual speedo sensor is in approximately the same spot on the lower right hand side of the manual box as it is on the auto box.

When you say "have wired up" does this mean you have run fresh cables for those switches, or does it mean that you have put in the manual driver's side engine bay and gearbox loom like the OP did? Because putting in the whole side loom is far easier than doing it in bits and pieces. Regardless, the original 2 wires for the auto speed sensor will just as happily carry the pulses from the manual's speed sensor.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
