ca18det wiring harness

I'd have to check on a wiring diagram whether the ecu earths out the relay or puts power to it, but I think all you need to do is connecting the output from the relay to the fuel pump.

OK bud I'll await your reply. I had a look at the butchered loom today and cut off loads of multi-connectors to make the job neater. As the start signal on the s12 (black/yellow wire) is under the AFM, I will have to run the orange wire (white plug by the ecu plug) back down the loom to join it up.
I'm also wondering why Nissan put the knock sensor wire on the alternator wiring instead like the silvia on the Engine loom??? Maybe too much interference.

the 'ET has a knock sensor ?

I is lol thicko etc

Yep it does also called the Detonation sensor. I believe the Ecu backs off the timing by 5 degrees upon the onset. Silviagod has made use of the sensor on his car

Having checked the S13 fuel pump relay, the black/purple wire is the Power/trigger wire that comes from the ECU. I now have to extend that from the white plug to the boot. I have now wired in several OE connectors to the larger (12v perm and switched wires and made up my three relays. It will simply be a case of plugging in the connectors when the engines in.
I do however have a couple of wires left to do :

1. Is Orange start signal wire from the White plug (by the ecu) that I have to re-route down to the Brown/grey connectors as the start signal on the S12 (8 pin under the AFM Black/yellow wire).
2. The Neutral switch. I know its the Green/Orange wire (brown plug) but I cant find the corresponding wire.

Found it courtesy of club-s12 :

The neutral switch on the CA which is green/orange goes to the neutral switch on the s12 harness which is also green/orange

I know from the How to thread that you add the Four diodes to the coil pack wiring. Problem is which wire on each coil pack do you T-off from ? Its apparent the one on the Left but on the left when you look at the plugs which way round ??? The picture I've taken shows no.4 which has (from L to R) thick Pink thick White and tin Black. The others have similar wires from L to R with different colours.
Anyone help me out

It's the one on the left when you look at the rear of the plugs. I can check on my loom if you want before you do it.

As in the above pic then ? I just want to do an much as poss so as to make it a doddle when the engine goes in.

Yeah I posted on it here

I got it working on my mates bluebird. You'll need 4 thick diodes from maplins. The smaller ones allow the current to go the other way and the car won't start.

Tap a wire into each coilpack. There are 3 wires, when looking at the back of the plug, its the left one you need. From each wire put in line a diode so the current can only flow away from the coilpack. Then join all 4 wires together into one and take them to the original wire that feeds the rev counter. This could be found behind the dash (don't know the wire buts it probably blue) or if you still have the original section of loom in the car take it to the connecting plug that connects to the S12 coil earth. Its a single wire plug, the wire is blue.
