SR swap into 90' automatic... confusion? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

okay, i'm swaping in a red-top into my automatic sohc. i've finished the labor part in the 5spd. swap, just having some confusion on which plug is the ignition kep capture , and any other plugs that need to be disconnected underneath the steering column.(pictures would be great) also, i'm confused on which plug needs to be wired together in the engine bay. i've found two plugs that have two thick wires. i think one is black and one is grey. and now to my power steering questions. the sohc routes the power steering on the wrong side. i've re-located my reservior to the drivers side, i have my lines to the pump from a dohc, and i'm just darn right confused about what to do with the hardlines that run to the wrong side and where they should end up. i'm thinking of just getting rubber lines and running them back to the drivers side. will there be any ill effects from that, or anyone have any pictures of what i should do? any help will be greatly appreciated. any flaming will be ignored, specially about not having a fsm. thanks so much.

Hey when I did my 5 speed swap I didn't unplug a thing under the steering column, I got pissed cause I took all that apart for nothing. I have a 1990 and in the engine people said to splice those 2 plugs or something, which didnt work. On mine, there were 2 plugs around the fuse box. One of the plugs I found was directly under the fuse box. Just stick your hand under there and feel for a plug. the three plugs are the same style connector. if what I wrote is confusing, pm me and I will rewrite it.

sorry, heres a cleaner version I think the three plugs were something like plug 1 on fuse box: white wire and black/yellow. plug 2 on fuse box: white wire and black white, the 3rd plug had black white and black yellow (I think this one was on the tranny side of the wires)
Just match up the colors. Just so you know the white wire is the 12v constant, the black/yellow is a starter wire, and the black/white is a starter wire as well. So it would be a good idea to disconnect the battery, leave the key out of the ignition, car out of gear, and make sure there are no idiots near your steering column and keys.
