R32 AC Compressor Electrical Question

Hi all, I am working on an R32 GTR and have run into an issue with the AC.  When I got the car, it had most of the AC components, but not functional.  I had a new clutch put on the compressor and checked the diagnostics on the dash and all seem good.  When I charged the system, it's not pumping.  Clutch is engaged and compressor spins fine, but not pumping at all.  At the rear of the compressor, there is a plug with a red wire and green wire.  Neither have power.  I think this is a high pressure bypass valve, but currently is not receiving power.  I want to know which wire is the power input and what voltage?  If someone can unplug their's and check, it would be appreciated!  Thanks!

I have looked at the diagrams and they show the wires, but not the continuity.  I just need to know which has the power going in.  It's important that I know which is proper as if I run power the wrong way, I may or may not fry the switch.

Help me out with that, as it's certainly not clear.  In most wiring diagrams, the continuity will have an arrow on the circuit showing flow of power.  There is nothing on the standard Nissan diagrams that I can see.  It shows ground, but it's a shared ground and not clear.

The wires literally START at the 12v rail and run to the earth rail. I have NEVER seen arrows on an automotive wiring diagram. This isn't kindergarten.

Just follow each wire back from the plug (on the diagram). One will go earthwise and the other will go to a power source.

LOL, thanks for the help.  I'll just figure it out myself.  You sure you aren't in South Florida with that attitude?

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.

      For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
