SR swap into Convertible S13(i have bypassed the shift lock) - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

RedSuns · 05-06-2006, 06:09 PM

I just finished up a Redtop SR into a S13 convertible. The car runs like a champ and I was able to bypass the shift lock feature to get it to start...but I still cannot get the top to open. This is my first work on a convertible 5-speed and I am seeing if there is anything that I have missed.

Anyone have an idea?

The top worked fine before the swap.

you sure you wired it right? cause it is probably the wiring for the shift lock out but i dont have much experience wtih convertibles

one time i got neg repped for linking to a "faggot forum". and if it happens again, at least i know helped you guys, but this writeup was pretty informative and it has a section that details how to get your top to work. you basically have to trick the car into thinking it's in park at all times:

that thread jacked me up when i did mine. little confusing.

youre gonna want to focus on a green/blue wire, brown/yellow wire, and green/white wire.

green/blue splices with (1) brown/yellow AND (2)reverse sensor(solid green,iirc)

green/white splices with (1) reverse sensor(green/white,iirc)

if you switch the reverse sensor wires, then your top will only work in reverse instead of neutral
