Ka24de wiring issue, HELP!!

[ryderbaker321]

Hey guys so I have a rhd converted s13 shell I just bought which used to have an rb in it and I'm putting a ka back in, for now I'm searching for the plug on the main harness the connects the ecu dash connector plug. Can anyone help me out? I'm terrible with wiring and have searched everywhere for a week or two now

What exactly do you need help with? The car was original dohc so if you're putting a dohc in it should be plug and play.

Yeah that's why I'm so confused, there isn't a plug anywhere for the ecu dash plug to connect to. I'm wondering if someone can tell me or show me exactly where the plug is located on the body harness

Soooooo you bought a RHD with an ex RB swap not knowing where the ECU is located? This may be a hard one.

There are two options in this scenario:
1. The plug is missing as the RB was pulled typically with the wiring.
2. You are not looking at the right place. Look in the footwell of the passenger area.

Also, Get a factory service manual for an s13 to keep simple mysteries like these off the Zilvia, will help you with your street-cred.

I was thinking that the plug must be missing too but I don't see any wires cut where the plug should be, I've looked at the fsm and everything I just can't seem to find it. I was really just hoping someone could post a picture of where on the chassis harness the plug is coming from

Ah, I missed the RHD conversion part. Assuming they used the RHD dash harness, flip the glove box down, like all the way. Squeeze the sides in to pop it out, it just be up towards the outside of the car with another plug. Probably just take the glove box completely out because this is assuming the PO didn't just simply throw the harness in there. Just locate the harness and follow it out and you should find it somewhere.

I've had the dash off since I bought it, harness is all ripped out and nowhere on it can I find the brown plug. Could it be that a rhd harness was used and and doesn't have a plug for a ka but an sr instead?

[ryderbaker321]

Alright we'll I figured it out, the chassis harness is a rhd one so the plug for the ecu is a white sr20 one, just gotta get a sr plug for the ecu and I'm good to go. Thanks for the help guys. Does anyone know if any other plugs need to be changed out as well?
