Where is the best place to find parts for these installations? Junkyard? Nissan stores? And how hard is the installation?

hey maverick, what did you order from slickcar.com? was it this? http://www.slickcar.com/produc...=2206

i have a n s14, wondering if there might be issues with that. Someone sold me the car with a alarm and ignition kill aftermarket system. i think i will just wire the door locks into the remote for the alarm.

what issues did u you have using kits from slickcar, did you just an alarm/lock kit?

actually, you can get the door actuator at any circuit city store in the nation. i work there, and have installed a few of these on cars with manual locks while doing alarms.

I havent actually ordered anything yet but yes, That is what I was looking to order. About how much are those actuators at CC and do they come in some kind of kit or do you have to wire them up?

Thanks Maverick for the link.

I think cruise control would be a ***** to do. A lot of wiring probably and I hate wiring.

Circuit City or any electronic store of that kind charges $80 for each auto lock installation. Which isn't too bad, but I wonder how hard the installation is to do by yourself?

$129 for power windows? Not bad.

Does anyone know if I did an engine swap and I had an alarm (Viper 791xv) with ignition kill setup in my car, would I have to rewire everything? Or just that particular part? And should I install the alarm now? Or with in couple of months when I get the engine in? I have never step up an alarm on a car before, but it seems like A LOT of wiring. LOL.
