Why doesn't it matter i thought that you had to have the MT one if it was MT like mine is I am trying to sell my white 300zx right now and this guy is giving me a bunch of parts for my s13 and the dual cam motor plus cash. I def want the harness if i get the motor from him. I have all the other stuff. Question tho. Wich gauge cluster would i use then? The single cam or dual cam. I'd rather use my single cam b/c it looks like this...

to both of u....

u have to change ur cluster...

sorry but its the only way ur gauges will work...

and to remove it is simple when u get to it ill explain for yah...and if u are changing cluster may i suggest a quick and cool lil mod http://www.s-chassis.com/forum...40228 i did it lol

the difference between the ecu's is that the AT ecu DOESNT have a speed limiter...so its actually better...because if u want to go beyond the 110 speedo limit....u can with AT ecu...cant with MY

K what about the bottom pic. the plugs dont match the one on the body harness so i have to splice and solder some of them. but then some of the wires do and dont match. i just soldered the top pic that worked out ok. i soldered yellow-redyellow-greenorangeblackblue-black.

Wiring:1. Locate the body harness (under dash harness that attached to the ECU) that attached to your old harness. Cut the old connector off (the one that attached to your SOHC harness) and attach your DOHC body harness connector. Just match the colors!Yellow/Red --TachYellow/Green--SpeedometorOrange--Ignition startBlack---GroundBlue/Black---Water temp sensor

thats all you got cut on ur harness bro nothing more

so my question stands....whats this for and connect to

when i said tail i was reffering to the pigtail connection for ur cluster

ok u know how when u pass the harnes in thru ur fire will there only 2 connections...the one for the ecu and the one for the cluster...

the connectiong to the dohc cluster harness is brown...like the one u showed on ur previous pic... and the one for ur sohc is white... like the one in he other pic...u have to cut ur brown connecter off the dohc harness and solder the white plug onto that section

thats it

unless u have verizon bro no way am i calling lol

Re-pin the SOHC wires into the DOHC connector. I have an SOHC interior harness that I had to re-pin to work in my 92' coupe. I can take pictures of it if needed.

Another thing...If you still need the S13 ECU let me know. I have got the transmission computer and ECU up for sale
