it sounds like someone, somewhere is wanting to keep an eye on you... :lol: :lol:


nahh =;

if you take the right hand side connector out of your ecu its on the top row third from the left...check out the apexi avcr wiring diagram(google it) :thumleft:

and top would be if you were looking into the ecu from underneath( closest to the front )

It's usually purple, sometimes has a silver or white trace on it.

This is for a ~'93.11 JDM SW20 the '93.11~ does not have this connector.

If you are looking for a easy spot to pick up the "SPD" signal (speed sensor signal) for your turbo timer or navigation system or whatever here is an easy spot to pick it up from.

There is a speed sensor check connector located above the left kick panel (connector E70). Just remove the door sill plate and glove box and look in the direction of the arrow.

There is a white 2 pin connector coverd with foam. It has a purple with white wire and a purple wire on the female side and just a Purple wire on the male side. The wire you want to connect to is the Purple with white wire.
The nice thing is that on the male side there is no wire in the connector to connect to the purple and white wire. So what I did is add a pin into the connector that has a bullet connector on the other end (the orange/white wire you see in the picture) I got the pin from a aftermarket Radio Harness (the kind used to plug a aftermarket radio into the OEM harness) This connector has a lock tab, so you must pull the foam away to unlock it to insert a pin. Or of course you can just put a scotch lock on the Purple white wire.

Just thought I'd share.
