Just recently picked this car up. Fixing the unfinished items from the swap that were not completed. Questions or where can I get diagrams of the S15 and the US 240SX to answer some issues.

Issues
1-No Reverse lights, i see the reverse connector at the fuse box. No wire harness to transmission
2-Gas gauge does not work correctly, goes to half when full and low fuel light stays on
3-Need a/c pulley, where can I find one?
4-Windshield wipers do not work on intermittent and do not have a cancel return to bottom
5-Where can I get a sunroof, factory plastic ring that is attached to glass is gone
6-Speedometer does not work as well as odometer. Can i put a speed sensor somewhere and calibrate the information to the speedometer(other wise i need a s15 rear dif with the speed sensor in it)

Car runs good. Bought it off EBAY. You probably saw pics. Guy tried to sell it for 6 months. Paid way to much but hey havin fun! Here are some pics. Off my phone not the best. Does anyone have history on this car. Did car fax and car went threw auction 10/2006 last record of car. Only driven 1500 miles since then. Seems the car was motor swapped then.

i would start by searching here for FSM, turn up the factory manuals for those bad boys. then i would look at the sr20det swap guide and check over ALL the swap wiring, again here on the site. also check out the auto to manual swap guide, its likely yours was originally an auto. chances are someone did a hurried swap on it and left the wiring half done, or done incorrectly. for parts in general you can always check the classifieds here on the site, Courtesy Nissan on the web for oem stuff, and of course your local Junk Yard.

Ok, I'm gonna straight wire the reverse lights from looking at the manuals FSM its just plugging i the correct wires.

The wiper motor has me guessing. All seems to be plugged in but..........
they do not cancel at the bottom and the intermittent does not work.

The not idle gets worse the warmer it is. I checked the MAS its clean. Don't have a reader to see what codes if any. Started with some small back fires driving it. Maybe 3 weeks of 25 to 30 miles a day. Then about 5 days ago the idle started missing and sputtering. Now once hot it will not idle.

What gives.. i'm asking the ones that have been there done that?

check your wiper amp, its under the hood, check in the FSM under wiring - wiper and washer.
