I've just finished converting my Aussie ST204 to Beams power using an ST202 SS-II clip, but I can't get the engine to start.
The engine turns over, but won't fire. We're pretty sure the problem is the fuel pump, as there is no fuel pressure. The relay on the ECU is operating, so the issue seems to be somewhere between there and the fuel pump. It was working fine with my old 5SFE just last week, so I'm sure it must be a wiring issue rather than an issue with the pump itself. There are issues with wiring to the new instrument cluster too. It's way off, with all to wrong lights coming on for the indicators and high beam etc. The dash lights don't work at all either. I'm not so worried about the dash issue at this stage, but thought I'd mention it on the off chance it could be connected with the non-starting issue. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

ok.
you did no wiring changes except change the dash harness ? that's not gonna make your car start... 1 there is a wire you need to splice together in EA1, that will give you spark. 2 You need to pin the clutch start switch (maybe) The Beams has a wire for it and so does your car, it's just not going to the correct spot. (but if you changed the dash harness with the backside of the three interior plugs then theres no telling were the wire is going...) start with #1 then we'll go from there. njcccmd2002 probably has pics of exactly you need to do, he's good like that, he taught me everything I know about the Beams wiring
