6.8 resistor
- Thread starter ram4whldr

I know there's a diagram out there...
But if memory serves me, lift the tank and on the left side you will see a 3-conductor connector, Pink, Blue, Black wires. One side goes to the GPS (Gear Position Sensor), the other back to the ECU.
Separate the connector and using a T-pin or something similar, remove the pins for the Pink and Black wires going to the ECU. Install the resistor to these connections (I used crimp connectors on the resistor and plugged the wires into them; easy to go back) and tape and/or heat-shrink the connections. Make sure you re-connect the original plug.
One of these days, I'll spend an evening and make it switchable.

Only thing I can think of is resistors get warm and hot, so place it wisely. I don't know if it works, let us know.
I haven't run into any issues. I've had my 6.8K resistor there for over a year and it's been fine. I just used electrical tape to tape it good to keep moisture out. Then I just tucked it back in with the rest of the wires in the bundle. I felt that $20 was kinda high for a resistor that I already had in my electronics stuff!
I pulled it out a couple of months ago to see how it was doing and it's fine. (I figured since any current going thru it is minimal...all the ECU is doing is sensing the resistance of the GPS to know what gear you're in.)

This will work, all you need to do is make sure you show the resistance on the correct side of the wire. It will be the side closer to the ECU and not the side from the tranny. Make sure you ground one side of the risistor (the black wire at the plug is a negative wire) so the resistor will show the correct value. Tape up the non-used side of the pink wire and you are good to go. I recommend to solder and shrink wrap the wires for safety.
Remember, if you are a track junkie like me, a TRE will slow you down at the track...

Hey!
I think I know what a TRE is!
TRE Motorsports
But wouldn't adding a Porsche part to my Busa only slow it down? Even, My grandma can outrun a Porsche!
My first shot at a humorus post ... What do you think?

Calm down playa. Any topic with the word "TRE" will have this question asked. If your topic was "I just installed a TRE", guess what, the question will still arise.
Now my question about this is, wouldn't this void your warranty? Getting the plug-n-go version may be better as you can remove it before taking it to the shop.
Lucky you, I would do everything too if I could get all the right tools.
Someday I will have them but for now I'm stuck taking to them.
