You didn't really explain your condition too well. Does the engine turn over but not start?

You might be jumping the gun messing with pin on the ecu and stuff. Is their fuel and spark?

I'm sorry if i'm not fully understanding your explaination, but its seems lacking some key info.

And use some punctuations marks.

check those crappy Nissan fuses in the engine fuse panel, if is has them(im not familar with how to wire up the rb's). Those green and brown ones you have to get from nissan, they may look good but they get loose contacts over time, my friend had an issue with them on his SR.

Not good with wiring, but can't you hook this up to a relay and pass by the comp with a manual switch? I know in some vehicles you can

if the green box style fuses in the engine compartment are good then you have a short somewhere once the starter circuit comes on. dont mean to state the obvious but double check to make sure no wires are exposed shorting out, especially in area of ecu. May also be an internal short within the ecu although not to likely.
