Distributor wiring

Hey guys, I need to confirm distributor wiring for my haltech. Could anyone tell me by colour what which wire from the distributor is used for?

Alright well based on a few bits of random information I can find, the distributor is:

Black - Ground
Red - 12v
White - Trigger (Main)
Green - Trigger (Home)

Il try and see if i can find it in my manuals later woody you never know i may come across it ....

Thanks mate, that would be great

Your wiring remarks for the R Distributor look right to me.
You got user manual for your haltech with pin out/loom tail colour for the ignition wires. white nissan goes to haltech trigger-main & green nissan goes to haltech trigger-home. will then have setting options for sensor trigger such as nissan optical. Ducie probably know exactly what. what ...

Thanks B well the haltech diagram seems a little confusing to me, I'm using the GY core on mine. But my assumption is the following and also matches a thread where a guy was wiring an older e6k Haltech. So based on colour its straight forward. Yeah Nigel is super smart when it comes to this stuff.

(Dizzy) red - (haltech) red
(Dizzy) black - (haltech) blue
(Dizzy) white - (haltech) yellow
(Dizzy) green - (haltech)  green

You need to find out what color wire in your new harness is for trigger 1 and the other will be trigger 2. The haltech manual will have that info. Pull the cap, button and shield off the dissy to check the wire colour.

Trigger1 (also called REF or crank) is the optical sensor with the 360 one deg slots, Trigger 2 is the inner slots. ( Also called Cam or POS)

Thanks heaps mate, I'll pull the shield off this weekend and confirm. I'll see if I can find that trigger info on the haltech cd as well.

What model did you get? I'll have a look when I'm on lunch break tonight.

Thanks heaps just a ps1000 mate

Red wire from dissy goes to pin 11
Black wire from dissy goes to pin 14
White wire goes to pin 1 (trigger +) yellow wire
Green wire goes to pin 2 (home +) green wire but cut wire near ecu plug and swap to yellow wire on GY/B harness.

Hope that makes sense if not tomorrow I'll draw up a pic.

That makes perfect sense Nigel, thanks heaps for taking the time to search for that info I'll check the harness out tomoz

Checked out the loom and all sorted mate, thanks again

Was a rep point sent his way ?

Indeed it was johmny but I'll throw another for the time it took to help me out

Great when someone knows or can help like that. It's what the forums for well done lads

Totally agree, Nigel has helped me and many others a lot over the years, very helpful and knowledgable guy

That's what I like about this forum is everyone happy to try & help & post all info rather than 'i'll send you pm' or holding info back, this way we all learn & have great threads that lead to useful info that will help other readers in the future .

Happy to help Chris. I still hold back some tips and tricks tho

Just for note, I had to wire this optical sensors (CAS) to ECU's 5V sensor supply (or 8V, 10V, what you have), because the Nissan's wiring is so "noisy", and I had many wrong crank position signals just before.

Well my recent starting issues seem directly linked to the distributor wiring. Ive sent an email to Haltech asking for advice so Ill post what the outcome is

What Haletch?

Nigel Im going to pull my loom apart on the weekend, contrary to what you said in post 11 I think I might have wired it incorrectly.

I think I may have confused myself and the Dizzy green wire (home +) is still connected to pin 5 instead of pin 2.



This thread also indicates the same

Also are we sure on the dizzy the white wire is trigger + and green wire is home + or should I do some more investigating?

I pulled an old dizzy apart and interestingly enough its all one module.





Thanks for your help mate, its been much appreciated
