Hey guys, i am almost done my swap and im really stuck on the wiring. I have almost everything wired up for the most part, im just not sure about the ignition start wire because they dont seem to be the colors specified in the “write-ups”. When i turn the key all my lights on the dash go on like they should, but when you turn it all the way the starter just doesnt crank. Im pretty sure i have the lower harness hooked up fine, ive checked it over many times. If anyone that has done rb wiring before can chime in and see if i did anything wrong, please help me out. _ **DASH PLUG WIRING:** _ Whats connected already: KA-RB -yellow/green stripe = yellow/green stripe -yellow/red stripe = yellow/red stripe -brown/yellow stripe = yellow/blue stripe -black = black -black/pink on the s13 dash plug is fuel pump i extended it into the engine bay to the black/pink in the brown plug (blue wire in pic) * * * **Wires still available, RB Side:** -Teal (pin43 ignition start signal) -Blue/black stripe -Tan -Orange/black stripe -Teal/red stripe [![](http://i.imgur.com/m76oj.jpg) ](http://i.imgur.com/m76oj.jpg) * * * **KA Dashplug Side:** -Green/black stripe -Green/white stripe -Solid Green -Green/yellow stripe -Green/blue stripe -Green/orange stripe -Teal/black stripe -Teal/red stripe -White/blue stripe -Yellow/white stripe [![](http://i.imgur.com/c3orp.jpg) ](http://i.imgur.com/c3orp.jpg) * * * **_ENGINE BAY PART:_** **_GREY OVAL PLUG: whats connected (RB-KA)_** -Black/red stripe = black/red stripe -White/black stripe = Red -Green/yellow stripe = green/yellow stripe (in s13 brown plug) _ **Whats Not Connected:** _ [http://i.imgur.com/5OMus.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/5OMus.jpg) [LEFT] **_RB Wire:_** -Light blue -Red/green stripe -Red/yellow stripe -Teal/white stripe S13 Grey Plug:[LEFT]-Black/white stripe -Blue/green stripe -Green/blue stripe -Green/yellow stripe -Orange/blue stripe [![](http://i.imgur.com/jITSV.jpg) ](http://i.imgur.com/jITSV.jpg) White/purple stripe RB wire goes to the White cable inside the thick loom by the fuse box.

I just have 2 different ecu pin outs, i have the thick main wire hooked up to the starter. But it says to run pin 43 to some Orange wire (if i remember correctly) on the s13 dash plug going by write ups. ---

What most people dont mention is that there are TWO yes TWO RB20 dash plugs that have similar colours. 1 is for the dash/cluster the other one is for the consult cable/diagnostics mode for the R32 chassis and not used on the S chassis. You are using the wrong one. ---
