What RB30 POWER said, if you put them on in the wrong order then you'll fry your ecu. If its a series 2 33 then it tells you where to hook in the power cables, if its a 32 or series 1 33 then just take care. Often the problem is because the ground cable isnt good enough and frys everything. i've often seen the RACV hook up the ground to the engine. Also use a cable that has a fuse in it or one of those fancy schmancy electronic ones that measure's voltages and current.

Just make sure when you connect the negative lead to the donor car which should generally happen last you connect it to the engine block or other chasis earth point.

If you connect it to the battery directly it can cause a spark, and because the batteries give off Hydrogen Gas it can explode.

This does happen, read/seen numerous cases of it happening and the results are nasty.

Ive jump started 2 other cars with my car, and had my car jump started about 4 times now (damn turbotimer and leaving headlights on!)

Nothing has ever happened, but i do put the leads on in the correct order. I dont earth the leads to the chassis though.

    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
    • From memory it wasn't too hard to simply see which wire ran where when you plug that in. Unfortunately also from memory the OEM sender does not use the same configuration 99.9% of gauges run. So in other words if you connect the signal wire that was running to the OEM gauge to your DEFI gauge you might find your oil reads at 200C or some other incorrect value. I remember having the same line of thought and then running new wires/senders to match the gauges I have. The pinout is available in the R34 workshop manual.
    • Does anyone on here know which wire on the GTT triple gauge pod harness is for the oil temp gauge? my sensor works fine but I upgraded the gauges to DEFI advance. And if I can simply piggyback off the oem oil temp wire to the Defi oil temp sensor wire that would make life so much easier.
