Hello Rodney,
The photograph in the Gregory's Manual looks like it has a cylinder under the injector pump (Page 201) and it labels it as a "control motor". Is this the edic thingo by a different name?
From my inspections of the engine I think I might have dodged a bullet because it looks like the remnants of a cable bracket which does slide. It matches what Ferret describes as a cable control![]()
All the stuff they describe on the page mentions the words "Late Model" so maybe 1986-87 fingers crossed I might have an 1984-85 model engine before things got too complicated.
Thank you for the offer of help too, Rodney I will have a bit of an explore and trial and error first as this is the best way to learn stuff.
Would you know the length, size and thread of the starter motor where it bolts to the bell housing? My vehicle did not come with a starter motor or the bolts to hold it on - so I have no idea of what type of bolts it needs.
Kind Regards
Lionel
Nah, I'm here fer good Rodney,
I do get pleasure out of helping others tho, as I'm sure you do.
Cheers, the ferret.

Hello Rodney,
Thank you for the reply. I am in Bundy. I will take a couple of close up photographs so other more knowledgeable people might be able to steer me in the right direction. Looking at Ferret's email it could even be a lever/slide operation.
Kind Regards
Lionel

Hello Ferret,
I found this link on youTube which shows what it calls an Edic motor being tested. It looks like a rotating arm to move a lever through a ball joint connection. Is this what you mean by an Edic motor?

Yeppum, that's the Edic motor, SD 33 non turbo 24V, darn!!
When you turn the key on, the motor moves a rod at the injector pump, firstly to "start" position then to "run", when you turn key off, it moves the lever to "stop"
Cheers, the ferret.

Hi Lionel,
I can help you regarding the wiring side..........hell, I've even been involved with two complete L/R rebuilds.
Mr Ferret is the best person to speak to regarding the mechanical side, trust me...... if he has taken the time to send you an email it's important.
Cheers Rodney

Hello Mr Ferret!
Thank You for the reply.
Well how freaky is that all I typed into a search engine was "Edic Motor" with absolutely no mention of Nissan SD33 at all. The bloke who posted it up does not even identify it as anything other than an edic motor!
It looked like a similar thing to a servo motor unit in remote controlled cars which are used for steering.
Kind Regards
Lionel
