Peepers

I'll deffinately check that out. I appreciate the wire diagram!

For the tank straps
When I initially dropped the bolts threw and secured them (bolt from up top and secured with nuts on bottom of each bolt) for the gas tank straps, I did notice some slack on the straps with the tank installed. I ended up cutting the curled tips of the straps since they would serve no purpose on the spyder for more clearance. I then welded the the rear tank strap bolts in and left the fronts secured with nuts (tach welded). When I bolted the tank back up, it was nice and snug with no slack on the straps. Hope this helps.

As for my vibration issue, I threw the car on a lift for a few min and played around. I had bottomed out the car which bent an exhaust hanger and forced the exhaust into the carrier bearing bracket.

What size bolts did you use for the gas tank strap bolts?

Peepers · 06-17-2009, 04:53 AM

The main GST harness should have 7 wires

FUEL (left side of the connector)
Yellow - fuel gauge
Black - ground
Yellow w/Blue - low level light

ABS (Right Side of the connector)
Yellow w/Red - Rear Left wheel
Grey w/Red - Rear Left Wheel
Yellow w/Blue - Rear Right Wheel
Grey w/Blue - Rear Right Wheel

FYI - you shouldn't have to do anything to the ABS wires as they should be plug and play (as long as you were originally equiped with ABS)

Yes, those should be the ABS wires.

I'm removing abs so I have no worries then. Thank you for confirming the colors

Guys I am having a hard time getting my fuel gauge to do anything. Currently I have it wired as per 99gst's diagram and vfaq. I'm not getting anything from it. I have looked at Peepers diagram and I have verified that my awd 2nd sender unit only has 2 wires coming from it: yellow and yellow/black.

My car is/was a 99 gst. The donor car was a 95 talon. The connector on the 2nd sender unit has a place for 4 wires however only two are there. Would it be possible to insert two wires in the connector as to try to replicate Peeper's diagram? Or is there even another two wires on the opposing side of the connector/ on the sending unit? Why would the connector have 4 places for wires and only two coming out?

Another thing to run by you guys. I see from the posts above that the yellow/red, yellow/blue, grey/red, grey/blue wires are for abs. I was wondering about those. On my gst harness there is a 3 wire connector that is black, green, and blue.

What is this? Is it the abs connector on the fwd harness? Im sorry if this is beating the subject to death but I have been screwing around with this gauge for quite some time with no luck. If I have overlooked anything please let me know.

3 wire conector is your fuel tank pressure sensor.This sensor came on 98-99 D33A and D32A
95-97 DSM cars don't have them.

Scrymerr · 07-28-2009, 01:01 AM

BTW nice cut...lol

I am having some trouble with the driver side half shaft. I have a 6 bolt block and there is only 1 hole for the half shaft carier bearing. I will try to make a metal plate that will bolt on the AC bracket and the secont half shaft carier bearing bolt will be bolted to it. Any other ideas?

***EDIT***
Nevermind. I found out that I will have to get the AC bracket from the '97 donor

Hey guys does anyone know an exact size of the 2g AWD subframe bolts? The grade 10 bolts I am using are a hair smaller than the holes so there is some free play. The car drives great with not much noise but I wanted to get these perfect. I was even thinking of having a machine shop make some sleeves for the grade 10 bolts I have been using but if someone knows the exact size that would be so much easier. Mabye I can order some in the correct size. Thanks!

Gstclipse69 · 11-17-2009, 08:30 PM

I am not sure of the exact size. What do you mean by some free play? On the subframe bolts? Are the bolts you have metric thread? There shouldnt be any play on the subframe bolts, Im sure that would not be good. If I had to take a guess I would think something like m12 something but I would definitely do some searching to find out exactly what they are.
