So i had my SR rebuilt with forged CP pistons and a full OEM engine rebuild.
Here's my question...... I obviously removed my starter to pull the engine, now that i have the engine back, i cannottttt find the plug that goes from the wire harness to the starter motor plug / clip. I have the power wire connected to the starter, and i believe that Ground goes from the frame to the starter on the second (lower) bolt on the starter. Am i right????
And i was looking all over, my engine bay is quite clean and i can't seem to find the plug that goes onto the tooth/ nipple piece that sticks off the starter.. This is required right? i'm not positive if there was one originally but i figure there was..
Sr20det redtop 440cc injectors z32 maf with Mapped ECU. Meagan headers, cat delete, fuel rail, relocated battery, t-28 greddy RS BOV internal wastegate, silvia front clip.
And ONE LAST THING.
How does the throttle cable line up with the intake manifold so i can use my gas pedal? It seems too short... Even though like i said before, if it came off the engine before, it should line right back up..
?
HELP please guys!

The starter grounds itself to the motor. There is no ground wire. You should have a big fat wire coming from your battery and bolted in place, and the signal wire is a slip on clip.

Well i cannot for the life of me find the signal wire for my starter! What if its not there in the first place? Do i have to wire something from the ecu to that signal? I researched a little bit and found some info about a "orange" wire.
