Found something very interesting while digging into the wireing on this harness.
First I noticed that the harness was cut in several places at the ECU connector, at the firewall, the MAF connector etc. At first I just figured the Japanese owner had an AFC installed. After sorting through the wires I found that the harness was cut as if it were installed into a 240sx before. Somehow I doubt this was done in Japan. Also all the connectors that hold the harness to the engine were removed. None of the clips, none of the brackets, nothing attached. In a few places on the top of the motor there were some zip ties that were obviously added to make it look stock.
Its as if the distirbutor pulled the harness that came with the engine and threw this one on there. The wire colors for all the schematics I have downloaded are all different. The pinout on the ECU is correct according to the diagrams I have and the wires do indeed go to the correct places but they are different colors. Its like the harness is not from a Skyline but another car with the same engine.
Another thing, the clutch slave cyl is missing. Some deal for what was called a complete motor set huh?
I managed to get the wires sorted out by traceing every one of the 119 or so pins on the ECU to each of the sensors on the engine. The harness is nearly identical to a skyline but the wire colors are just different, WTF?
Anyway, im going to withold the name of the distributor that cut up the harness unless they dont provide the missing parts.
I should still have the car running by tuesday but we wont be able to drive it untill I fabricate an adapter for a different slave cyl and MAF plug.
