Not starting after auto to manual swap... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Unless you wired the new clutch switch into the brake switch harness, then that's a non-issue.

The starter circuit will be completed and the car will "turn over" if you do nothing other than splice the 2 big wires behind the fuse box - The top plug.

The ECU will not prevent the car from *trying* to start.

You've either got:

-- A dead/dying battery (not enough juice to turn it over)

-- A corroded battery connection (can supply 12v to accessories and such, but not the amperage needed to turn the starter)

-- OR you didn't splice the correct plug (??)
