this car came from hell, but im taking care of it and getting this bitch back on the road. so far i have a new engine harness(s13 sr20det), tranny harness(brand new from nissan), main harness(came from R240NA), and LH Body harness(came from R240NA). heres what works if you could possible help out. the trunk light, door ajar warning, clock, ecu, airbag light, and fuel pump. everything else doesnt work. when i turn the key over to start it, relays click and everything turns off but the motor doesnt turn over.

did you look at the harnesses before you plugged them together? Because I remember that when i helped my buddy with his sr the engine harness from japan is different from the usdm. Look at where the engine harness plugs into the vehicle main harness by the battery. look closely at the wire colors, because I remember that his plugged together although the wire colors where in different locations from jdm and usdm. I would check that first then check fuses, fusible links, relays, etc. If your motor is not turning then check the starting circuit and trace it down. Check to see if you are getting power at the starter, then back track, or vice versa, check at the fuse for the starter and go down the circuit. hope that helps. Make sure you have a good ground and good battery

brand new battery, the harness for the starter is part of the tranny harness, which is brand new & USDM. and plugs straight into the engine room harness... im gonna pull the fenders off tomorrow i guess and ditch all the rest of the wiring

Well pull a plug and put the plug on to the value cover. Does the plug spark?

try jumping the starter manually, use a piece of wire and connect the power on the starter to the solenoid, see if she cranks, then go from there, you will need a digital multimeter to do further testing.

Before you fry somthing did you rewire the SR Engine Harness to the USDM Chassis? cuz the SR Engine harness is Not plug and play even though it may plug in. You said you had a new harness but nothing about wiring it.
But yeah try what "statik" said.

yes, i used the sr20.hybrids.jp faq... i checked all my wiring on the engine harness with a multimeter... i cant find the multimeter now though or i'd check all my starter wiring.
