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?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
