OK my car failed safety for not having a clutch safety switch (you can start the car without pushing in the clutch) From reading apparently s13/180’s/US s13’s do not have this feature. Now i managed to pull a clutch switch off my s13 parts car > **[system\_w.pdf](https://www.240edge.com/manuals/89-90_240sx/system_w.pdf)** > > 320.48 KB Page 10 shows the clutch interlock circuit… Basically is the interlock relay on a silvia, and where can i find it Can anyone tell me if there is wiring in place on a 180/silvia because i can’t locate anything similar to what i found on my 240 or just and easy signal to connect in series this switch (normally closed when clutch is not pressed)… ---

dude in any s13 i am like 99% sure you can start the car in any gear and it will roll if your foot is not on the clutch. ---

If the vehicle was not factory equipped with a neutral safety switch. You by NO means need one for certification. Almost all Nissan’s and Volkswagen’s did not have neutral safety switches for years. No, I am not talking through my ass either. Father is a certified tech, I am on my way to being one as well. Safety cars every day. Safety’s are the most retarded shit ever. Your damn wheel bearing can be SCREAMING, yet, if it has no play…it passes! ---
