The "Vanilla Rice Story" yo

[kevinzhou]

Sup guys my name is kevin zhou.

long story short had multiple s13s and s14, and i got rid of them because they were impractical. Since i couldn't grow up i got another s13 but this time i'm starting with a one owner no rust to very very minimal rust car. When i say minimal like the only rust was the battery tray.

my cleanest one i ever owned back in 03

[Driftwire]

Nice. Hope it turns out clean as fuck man!

[kevinzhou]

Thanks man im a little confused it looks like i have no need for the top and lower plug

the brown plug gose to the auto trans which i dont need
and the grey plug goes to the trans too
any imput

do we need the clutch n/p relay?
will deleting the a/t control unit stuff affect my car drivability? it has a neutral swith wrie coming from it
also i deleted a 10amp fuse wire by accident its above the fuse for the fuel pump but i dont think its needed since it was for the ka egr

Any imput guys thanks!
