ok i got the dash wiring done i need to ask which to connectors to cut and splice by the battery tray and is it a must to do the knock sensor wiring if so then how do i go about doing that. One more thing i bought a greddy 02 housing or outlet pipe and it allows me to use the ka 02 sensor is there a connector that matches up to it or not.

You wires the the connectors by the batt. just like a redtop SR. Follow the wire diagram on heavy throttle. This is what I and a few others have done and it works perfect.

As for the knock sensor, mine was all wired up right but it still threw a code 45 (knock sensor code) Dont know why :confused:

wired the battery plug thing like the sr one on heavy throttle, but i just hard wired my knock sensor directly (no plugs, just spliced the wires) and loomed it up with the wiring harness. works fine, didnt have to bother with that dumb connector, looks good. when in doubt just match wire colors. for the most part, this will usually work alright, though some wires need to be connected with others, and this is when you cross reference the ca and ka 240sx/180sx fsm's. good luck with it.
