We had to jumper one of the connectors underneath the car the make it start. The start neutral safety switch had to be jumped. He still needs to wire in the reverse lights and the speedometer since neither of those worked. I want to drive it again since he adjusted the clutch. Pics up either tonight or tomorrow.

Does the ECU think the trans is in neutral the whole time?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm just really curious to see how this works out. It looks like an awesome alternative to the JZ swaps.

Will you be doing any kind of basic write-up on the parts/cost and anything special to get this to work? I've thought about doing this alot, but there is so much unknown from my end that it just ends up intimidating me. If there was a condensed "guide" on how to do this, it would be great!

Yeah you just jump it so it thinks its in neutral all the time. The speed sender plugs right in. reverse lights, havent looked at yet.

Here is a write up thus far. When I finish it, I will post it on CL.
