Will you have it installed by the weekend?
My priority over the weekend is to replace the seized bush. If I sort this out quickly then I have the yellow box, Spoon lightweight battery and the cusco ant-roll bars (if they get delivered) to install.

EDIT: I'm going to fit my Tanabe anti roll bars either this weekend or next.

Be careful!!!!!!!!!!!
According to my ESM, the blue FROM the ECM powers the air injection pump!
The VSS seems to have an instrument pack connection (bloody vague diagrams!) and that was become blue/white.

Connector C to the ECM has a blue/white cable - this may be the cable you are referring to Nick. I agree that its a dangerous game, hence my decision to tap the VSS cable under the car and route twin core cable through the engine bay, through the grommet behind the battery, into the passenger footwell.
I've continued the twin core behind the dash to the driver's footwell, where I will connect my Yellow Jacket There's a 5v green cable under the steering wheel (I'll post a photo over the weekend) which powers the Yellow Jacket, but Yellow Box owners need a 12v source - plenty of wires there, or one of the accessory power supplies can be easily tapped.

That's the one Craig!
The blue from the CPU is assigned to C5. Since I don't have the destructions leaflet, I'm confused.
The ESM is a PIA to use too! Bring back paper WDs!
The bottom (IIRC) connector on the fuse box is ignition-switch controlled, for a source of buzz without chopping more wires.
I ran my detector cable through the same grommet. (Well I poked a hole in the grommet and back filled it with silicone sealant!) Presumably, two-core would more easily pass and might be another solution.
I would personally keep the connexions in the passenger compartment though. (I still have those wet Italian-electrics blues!)

I was told you could just fit an electronics box (not sure which one) on the cable from the gearbox which fools ecu into thinking its still doing 112mph 
This is what my old car had done leaving a little black box hanging from some wires from the passenger side of the gearbox!

Thats ok then
I think nyou'll find as well that on the blue/white wires, one will be blue with a white stripe and the other will be white with a blue stripe (just have to look VERY carefully
)

These threads are really usefull Chris & in fact I think we should have something like this sticky'd up top of our board for other peeps looking ot import JDM to the UK
