Wire colours vary slightly between different models but the basic setup is the same. Use the original wire sizes as a guide when choosing your new wire. If your battery is in the boot then you'll need to go to a larger cable to minimise voltage drop over the extra distance. There's a diagram below to help. Main GND - These are the big black earth straps. They should go from battery -VE to the lug at the front RHS of the inlet manifold and to a good chassis ground point. Custom made from heavy battery cable for most conversions. Starter +VE - (blk/red) Heavy battery cable from Batt +VE to Starter. If you've left your battery under the bonnet then a suitable length cable can usually be found with pre-crimped lugs at any of the larger auto parts stores. If it's in the boot then you'll need to source some suitable cable and have lugs crimped on. Starter signal - (blk/w) Goes to the spade tab on the starter. Connects to IGN switch "start". You should be able to use the original wire from your car on here. Alternator
HERE'S a diagram of the alternator wiring (S14) courtesy of the ever helpful Mr. Nissan. Oil light - (yell/blue) Connect to oil light on dash. Neutral Switch - the rear most of the two switches on the right side of the gearbox. Not needed. Reverse Switch - the front switch on the gearbox. Connect up to your reverse lights.
