I wouldn't try to install something like that if I were you unless your good at electrical stuff. I had a Viper model installed on my car and I got stuck even with directions... Had to take it to a professional... I would recommend doing that instead...

there's a reason places charge a lot to do it. it's because you are messing with the cars electrical system when you do it.

You may not be an idiot and leave it in gear but things happen. I saw some one use a rem start on a manual car (was made 4 an auto) and he started his car up and right over an enbankment and into a building. enough said.

On the better note however, I work at CircuitCity as an installer so I can walk you through doin it most likely. How ever you should really look into purchasing a proper remote start for a manual transmission to be safe. I purchased mine from Compustar for about $200 and it is worth every penny, it does both auto and manual just by changing a wire.

Any Way on to the important parts. abdow U r doing just a remotestart not alarm correct? Does your car have factory security? Power locks? Power Windows?

I ask these things because I can pull up the specific wires n locations for you wen I go into work tonight and then try and give u a better writeup tonight.

I Will Look up the 93 240sx then.

One last note****DON'T GO CHEAP ON A REMOTE STARTER BRAND BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE A GOOD DEAL. YOU MAY BE HIGHLY RISKING YOUR VEHICLES ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO PROBLEMS AND ALSO PUTTING YOURSELF AT GREAT RISK***

Look for a reputable brand. Like I said, I've worked with Compustar and own one. They are great choice and designed specifically to do manual transmissions so that the car will never start if left in gear or no e-brake up.

However I would gladly help you troubleshoot things if you were to run into any problems.

Will post wiring info later on after work. If you guys want me to make a DIY or How To post lmk/.

im installing a remote start in my car also. the only thing that keeps shops from not installing them into stick shifts is that they can start in gear. well on the 240sx there is a neutral safety switch on the transmission that tells when its in neutral. my question is, does anyone know where to find this wire on an s14. i am good with electrical, this is the only thing i cant find. thanks

found it, its a green/orange wire. number 36 on the ecu plug.

would the neutral safety switch wire on the ecu be the same for a red top??

and yeah, i need some help wiring up my remote start. could you tell/show me where you installed each wire??

im not bad with wiring, but im lost when it comes to this.

[motoman399]

get a volt meter and test it. thats what i did. cant hurt, and i would imagine that its the same but have never had a sr so i couldnt tell you for sure
