Hey all, new to 240`s. anyway, i just purchased a 240sx with a SR20 partily installed. The car was originaly auto, so im not sure where some things need to go so i took some pics, ur help would be appreciated.

1st, whats wrong with my throttle cable, do i need a longer one? Also, where do these plugs go ? AgainAgain This one is near the fuse box.Again again Then is this alternator done up right? and where does this ground loop go?Then, when i tryed to install my clutch pedald and my master cylnder (i think thats what its called) The master cylnder wouldent go flush with the firewall because theyre is like a 3 inch doughnut on it, what am i doing wrong?

THANKS SO MUCH.

altenator: there should be a little bolt, (i think about 8mm, maybe 10) that screws that loop into the back of the altenator.

clutch master: that hardline should thread smoothly in, not all crooked and things. also, did you put the pin (inside the car) on the back of the clutch master?

the fifth picture looks like your oil pressure sensor. it plugs in right next to the oil filter on the side of the block.

the second picture looks like those little plugs and connectors that go behind the throttle body, but its hard to tell without a full engine bay shot

look inside the vehicle and make sure nothing is blocking the clutch master cylinder from going in. Also make sure the hole is cut clean. that is easy enough to install that it should look stock. The pedals suck a@$ though

The look in the alternator picture should be screwed to the intake manifold. the fifth picture show the manifold and a phillips head screw. It should fit there or somewhere near, but on one of those posts. But its just a ground (black) it really shouldnt matter as long as its connected to the manifold.

third picture going up looks like one of those not needed wires and I think the one of them goes towards the firewall, but on the engine near the intake runner, it may actually connect to the manifold but I dont have my car near to check

you should not need a throttle cable. make sure its not snagged on something, but if the previous owner cut it you should be fine with one from a junkyard

I hope I helped you, its hard to see what you need because the picture dont show a lot of engine detail., but after the swap you will have 3 connectors and maybe four that are homeless. Just make sure you wire up all of your important sensors, Alternator, oil (by the filter), cam angle (turbo side of the head), transmission (may be in one of your pictures, its really small and is a female type connector with a long cable), ignition (behind head near fire wall), intake air control (on your intake) connect all black groundwirethat should be good for the start and you can troubleshoot from there
