hey ive been kind of busy so i havent really had a chance to serch this for you. But if i remember right there is a wire you need to run from the jdm ignitor to the ecu i believe its a black and yellow wire but cant remember on which plug. When i get a chance ill check some more im glad youre to that point on your car mine still isnt running i havent had much time to work on it. ( and i bought a focus RS) so ive been trying to enjoy that too
Thanks, any assistance would be good. it's taken almost a year to get to this point, the only thing that has worked right is the engine install. The gs300 tail shaft didn't fit the aristo gearbox, I so had to buy a 161 tail shaft and then the 161 shaft didn't fit the gs300 diff, had to send them both off to be cut up and rejoined to suit gearbox and diff, struggling to find a power steering relocation kit or a power steering resivour and month for a 161 and the throats cable didn't fit, couldn't find a second hand one so had to custom order one and now the instrument gauges. Really should of got a half cut , would of saved time and money!!.

as far as the drive shaft goes from what ive read havent done it yet is get the gs400 front half of the drive shaft and it works fine. And im going to have an issue with the power steering resivor ill make something to work. My biggest mistake was the runner hose for heater core. Intalled the motor without putting the hose on first but cut the tube down and guess what cant get the hose on. So now o will be dropping the subframe down with the motor so i can get the hose on. Please keep me informed on getting the dash to work as im still in the process. Also did you swap over the orange and grey termination caps from the aristo harness
The hose issue doesn't sound fun at all. I can keep you informed on what's need for the dash. Right now we are waiting on a standard gs300 ecu (as I throw mine out like an idiot) and planning on using my halteck elite 750 to run the engine instead of using the aristo ecu that in it now. Engine came with arist wiring already do didn't need to swap plugs.

Yeah that's what we ended up doing. Almost everything I've needed for this car has been custom made. For a car that looks identical, nothing but the engine months match up.

The gs300 tail shaft didn't fit the aristo gearbox, I so had to buy a 161 tail shaft and then the 161 shaft didn't fit the gs300 diff, had to send them both off to be cut up and rejoined to suit gearbox and diff,****See my earlier response!

I'll double check the harness this week when I get a chance after work. I have a mate with a 161 half cut at the moment and only need the engine, so hopefully when he pulls the engine out I can have the rest of the car :-D

Seems like there's other issues. Even with immobilizer ecu, the car will still crank. Just won't start.
Can also use the GS400 front half driveshaft and isolator as an option.

Do you get lights on the dash?
Can you verify a good starter? (Use a jumper from the big B+ wire on the starter to the small spade connector on the starter solenoid.)
