Default LS1 240sx Help Please!
I have a 96 240sx with a 01 Camaro Ls1 swap. I got my wire harness in today from Sikky. I need help with a few wires. They left a few wires cut with tags on them. I need to know where I wire these in at? The YELLOW wire is tagged TEMP GAUGE. The GREEN, RED, & RED/YELLOW are together & tagged SPEED, G-REV, R;R/Y-GAUGE. Could someone please tell me where these wire into?

Also, for my car to idle, will I need to flash my computer, or it should idle if I have no problems?

If Sikky modified the harness, why don't you ask them where the wires should be hooked up?

Not patient enough to wait till the morning. Been waiting over a month for the harness to be complete. Ready for some progress.

It won't start without a VATS delete. You might get it to fire with starting fluid.

As was said previously, without VATS delete you can't idle the car. It will crank and shut off. You will need to get your computer flashed.
