Might be easier to use the R32 harness and switch the CAS,coils and injectors.

Did you also get the nice custom GTS-R exhaust manifold with it? I really wish I got a GTS-R instead of a regular GTS

the rb20 rb25 and 300zx all pretty much share the same ecu pin outs. I doubt its that much different from the pinout on the how to. You can download the r32 service manual pdf somewhere on google for free just search for it. It has one good diagram of the entire system that really helped me. I just wired 5 of the power supply wires to a toggle and like 2 grounds that are kind of jigged together already. Add fuel pump and start signal. The only thing that you don't get with that is the ground signal to tell the ecm to enrichen for crank*. It will start with a few flicks of the throttle and it ran like a champ.

Your next best option is a plug and crank wiring specialities harness.....I wish ida waited the 3wks for them to make it.

Good luck



pm me if you would like to know which wires you can hot wire to just crank her up like I did

Yeah the ecu plug looks completely different on the R31 vs R32.
