Default ECU immobilizer problem

Hello CL. I recently bought a late model vvti 2jz-gte tom's ecu off of a late model va300 aristo that i would like to swap into my '98 aristo. I noticed that the new ecu has a 6th black/grey plug to the right of the 5 white plugs for the immobilizer. Problem is my car is not equipped with an immobilizer so the wiring harness does not have a 6th plug to plug into the new ecu. I'd assume that it wouldn't have a SKIM in the steering column either so i won't be able to bypass it by reprogramming the EEPROM chip in the new ecu. I haven't received the ecu yet as it is still on its way from japan so i have no idea if it will work. Does anybody know how i would be able to bypass or disable the immobilizer? Any help would be greatly appreciated.


This is what the new ecu looks like
