I believe your immobiliser controls the fuel cut off, so it seems what u are doing is bypassing that function, i've looked at my diagrams and it looks like there isn't a relay as such involved.
You can always install an ignition switch controlled 12v supply in place of your battery connection.

If his ex Jap is like my ex Jap it doesn't have an immobiliser.

Ok say it is, then you as a owner of one must have a better understanding of the OPs problem, so what could be wrong?

Oops! Put my foot in that one!!
I've read in numerous forums that ex Japs don't have immobilisers - after that I'm stuck. I never do anything engine related because it's too expensive.

I thought that they had an immobiliser only as their security system but not the alarm.
but not sure now

I'm not sure now either but I do know they definately definately don't have an alarm.

Following on from this, I cannot start mine after wading. The engine kept running fine in the deep water with snorkel, but I got home, turned it off, tried restarting after a while and it just turns over.
I've got fuel upto the injector pump, but nothing at the injectors. Key fob has no affect on alarm (all dead).........Is this an immobiliser fault?
Any advice appreciated. Cheers
