What exactly are you stuck on regarding the wiring? What is or is the car not doing?

zerothread/77784 That's the 5spd specific wiring for the vert, hope that will help.

been there... that is what Hondas are good for.. to sell to get money to modify the Nissan..

Tony.. If you can swing it .. send your harnesses to Yuri and the Gang at wiring specialities.. http://wiringspecialties.com/s13srwise.html. For around $150 it's done and done. You can spend time driving with topdown and relieving stress... not creating it.. just a thought.

I have had my vert in the garage for almost a year now.

Only drove it for a few days and I bought it in October.

Got a new front end going on, new doors, an RB25 (Waiting on Wiring harness and other misc. parts for swap), new exhaust, and possibly new top if I feel that I need it. Although, I will probably fix the suspension and slap on these 300zx brakes I've got when I get around to the suspension.

It will probably be Spring of 2009 before I drive it (regularly) again and I purchased it Fall of October.

Right now I am daily driving my 97 Nissan Maxima. Nice comfortable ride, fully loaded, bose sound system. Man it's gonna be weird driving around a beater-looking 240sx with 300hp when I am used to this FWD econo-box..

i used the nico's 5 speed swap thread all day still cant figure out the wireing its driving me crazy! im thinking the issue is im using the Ka thread i dont even know i followed everything on there about wireing and i cant figure it out cant get the break lights or reverse lights to work or the actual engine to start eaither....

Another problem is that im Taped out money wise cuz i upgraded ecu injectors and turbo i had to start to dig into credit cards =*(

I'm stuck, but that's cause me engine hasn't gotten here yet. Shoulda just bought and done the work myself instead of giving money to a shop and trusting them.
