[Joe]

Clip was from Venus-auto, showed up in AMAZING condition even with the high miles.

[tinted]

nice

[93RPS13]

wacky nice!

[krayton]

looks awesome. whats are the plans for the auto transmission?

[Joe]

junkyard? take it out to reddington and shoot it? i dont know. its just gonna collect dust if i dont throw it away.

and i figured out what i was missing, it IS a fpr. gonna get one sent out this week. damn venus auto!

LOL i just realized im missing the igniter also...damnit lol

[93RPS13]

you got a clip right?

[SHIFT_Lock]

look at the plugs where the igniter should go and see if they plug together , not all rb's use a igniter. and you are using a rb20 transmission? just saved yourself about a 100 or so pounds.

[Joe]

yea RB20 transmission also helps with using the stock driveshaft. save me some more money.

ok back to the igniter. i couldnt find any 2 plugs that go together that look like they run to where the igniter is mounted on the valve cover. i do have the 4 mounting holes on my valve cover. here is a pic of my wiring harness. i know its a long shot but if you can help let me know.

Looks very nice.

you got a modded engine from that was hooked up by mines... WHoa.. Mines is the shiet!

[JonPowell]

The plug for the igniter is next to a purple plug, should be 4 plugs together if I remember correctly, it is a wide slender plug with 6 or 7 wires... The other end of the igniter goes to the coil harness, a short harness that runs from the igniter to all 6 coils and that is all it does.

Here is a pic of the igniter plug

[JonPowell]

Ignitor harness-Yellow plug goes to the ignitor, the long one goes to ground and the 6 bigger plugs go to the coils

[Joe]

Thanks Jon, i dont have a giant yellow plug that looks like that, even on the ignitor harness. mine is orange on the inside and a little rounder. has 6 wires.

i dont know what to think about this. could it be igniterless?

[JonPowell]

Here is the plug on the end of the engine harness

There is NO chance that your vehicle could not have an ignitor.

[JonPowell]

Here it is on the coil harness, this is the one that runs under the spark plug cover to each coil.

[Joe]

ok here is what i have

http://www.imagestation.com/pi...6.jpg

thats harness to the coil packs

http://www.imagestation.com/pi...3.jpg

thats on the coil pack harness. only plug there.

[Joe]

oh I am thoroughly confused about this...im thinking about contacting venus and just asking for a new harness and coil pack harness. this harness is in complete **** condition..

[FAST-DATSUN]

The Type II ignition system has no ignitor, the coil packs have the booster in them..Mack

[JonPowell]

When did Nissan switch to Ttype II ignition? I havent seen anything like that....

Here are my pics, I am in the same boat as you, we got this one from Japan w/auto transmission. at this point, not sure what I am going to do, I have been trying to find a RB25 5spd transmission, if not I am going to use the R31 RB20 5spd in the yard. Although I have been told by several source the RB20 transmission will not hold power as well as the RB25 transmission.

Let me know when you start wiring up, I am curious to know what differences there will be between the 5spd and auto wiring. Also, are you using a 5spd ECU or an automatic?

[Joe]

first, mack, i love you. ive been racking my BRAIN trying to figure this **** out. YAY!!! *hug* hehe

JCAP, you are right, the rb20 transmission dosent hold the power as well, it caps about 350-400 crank from what im told. and last i heard mckinney motorsports had a couple rb25 transmission's for about 1300$ but this was a few weeks ago. and for my wiring, im sending it to mckinney. i cant be down for 3 weeks trying to figure out the wiring. so the 300$ i was gonna spend on service manuals for wiring is going to mckinney and im just gonna say "**** it"

and this was brought up to me by a friend, is there a US equivilant for these ignitorless coil packs? in case one goes out?

[SpeedS13]

thought venus will get you a manual transmission for free if you send in the auto transmission... just what ive heard havent done it personally.

[JCAP_Tuning]

That would be nice if you could just send in your auto transmission for a 5spd, I know they tried to sell me an auto transmission when we called looking for a transmission, but that was it. Sounds a little like just a "rumor" to me.

I am definitely doing my wiring myself with others' help at the shop, much better than sending it off. I already had a FSM for the s14 and now I have one for the R33, I am sure it will be helpful down the road other than wiring (i.e. internal specs, etc). I think I may stick with the RB20 transmission for now and hope for the best.
