M52B28 Swap- No Crank No Start

[eThirT]

I have finally reached the point of starting my swapped E30. I have checked everything and found that the starter is not getting power when the ignition is turned on. I can't figure out why and how to fix the issue. I'm using a ZF 320Z, M3 flywheel, and M3 starter. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks!

I'd say share the info and post it up. Cant hurt to spread the word.

I couldn't agree more. I wish I would have known earlier. It turns out because my car was originally an automatic I needed to do the wiring shown at the bottom of this link: http://www.rtsauto.com/bmw-e30-trans...tic-to-manual/

That is definitely one way to do it. The thread I linked below is a little confusing but if you go through it I think it makes sense. Basically the auto wiring is just added for the auto cars, you can easily bypass it with a few plugs over the pedals as opposed to the wiring from the RTS write up. This is what I used and it worked like a charm without having to cut any wires etc.
