Starter Relay Issues

[Korea]

Alright so im having some issues. i did a sr20 engine swap into an s13 but im having issues with the starter relay. the only way for me to key start the car is if i hotwire the plug where the starter relay goes. my first thought was the relay is bad so i tried another one, than another one. none of them fixed the problem. the relays i tried arent brand new but i doubt that all 3 were bad. so now im left with the questions of wtf is wrong? from the symptoms u would think its the relay, but all three of them being busted seems unlikely.

Just bypass the relay. We've discussed this for two decades.
