it can be done safely on a manual transmission where it wont start if the car is in gear
the ECU has a neutral sensor wire built into it and most remote starter systems have a hood input wire so the car wont start if the hood is open, you can use this (with some relays) to prevent the car from starting in gear
here's some info from some of my previous posts on it:
ignition wiring- the wire colors change a couple places so I'm going to use the relative locations in the harness. If you look just under the steering column, there is a large connector with 5 thick wires going through it that is clipped to the underside of the column. Unplug the connector and look at the wires; you'll notice one unused spot.
1 2 3
X 4 5
Where X is the blank spot
wire 1 = Starter wire
wire 2 = ignition power
wire 3 = second starter wire
wire 4 = accessory power
wire 5 = constant power
you can use wire 5 to power your main unit
wire ignition wire and acc to corresponding wires on remote starter
Nissan uses 2 starter wires which must both be powered to start the car
You will need a relay to power the 2 starter wires. Look further down for a little bit about relays and numbering of pins
Pin 85: ground
Pin 86: second ignition wire from remote starter (make sure it is set to ignition and not accessory - there is a jumper on the unit itself that controls this)
Pin 30: connect to one Nissan starter wire; also connect this wire to the starter wire from the remote start unit
Pin 87: connect to the other Nissan starter wire
For clutch bypass and neutral sensing:
Luckily the car has a stock neutral sensor built into the tranny and we can find that wire at the ECU. In the VE, it's a solid brown wire on the top row about 7 wires in from the right side (if you are looking straight at the ecu from the drivers side of the car). It should read about 4-5V in any gear and ground when in N.
Relay 1:
85: neutral wire from ECU
30: ground
87: no connection
87A: wire to remote start - hood trigger wire
86: wire to pin 87 of relay 2
Relay 2:
85: +12V constant
30: +12V constant (you can just connect it to the same wire as 85)
87: connect to pin 86 of relay 1
86: to the - ign output from remote start unit (yellow/black anti-grind output)
87A: no connection
also, splice a long wire into the wire you used to connect the relays (pins 86 and 87A), run this to the wire at the clutch switch. There are two clutch switches, one for cruise control and one for starting. The one for starting is the one right up against the firewall. There are two wires here, you will have to cut the black covering from around it a little but be careful not to cut the two wires inside. Now connect your new wire to the light green/white wire in the clutch switch. Make sure this wire will not get tangled up when the clutch moves.
