hey guys
i have done everything to my 240 to get the tranny in and lines ran.. now what do i have to do to the computer or fuse box so the car will start?something in the fuse boxs “just cant remember what, its 2 wires”
since your local PM S13gg or Lucky as I believe Lucky did darians.
I forget the details but you need to trick the ECU into thinking the car is in
park so that it will start.
On my S14,
Right beside the engine fuse box there are 3 plugs that control the AT tranny. You need to short the top plug - two fat wires. And that will allow you to start the engine.
Dont know if its the same on the S13 but it should be.
Since i have done a Auto to 5spd swap here is what I can tell you 
In the Engine bay right behind the fuses box are several wire connectors.
-
of them tells the car when your car is in a drive gear (so you can’t start the vehicle. Once you find the connector disconnect the end that goes down to the Auto. Take that end clip. You don’t need it. Take the two wires and soder them together creating a loop. Re- connect the TAN connector. BEWARE this will now allow you car to start in any gear.
-
Next your will see a set of three connectors (2 grey, 1 red). The middle connector is what pass the info to the Auto Computer that the car is in reverse. In fact only the Green and black/gray wires matter. The remainder of the connectors are all for the Auto. Once you put the 5 spd in you can toss the remainder.
I will try to post pics of what my fuse box looks like soon.
no worries guys!!! i got hector to come hook it up for me… thanks hector!!! and thanks guys for the help!!
just in case anyone searched on this thread, the two wires are on the same plug and they must be spliced together. the wires run under the fusible link box in the engine bay
