it should. the only difference between the lower KA harness is the extra connectors going to its respective transmission. you can still use the KA lower harness with the left over conector plugs hanging. make sure to tape up the excess. be careful where you cut also...you might lose speed signal like i did the first time around.

what year is your blacktop anyways? and what year is the KA harness you have? if it came with the J4 ecu, lets talk further. haha.

i highly doubt the SOHC KA lower harness works. I thought thats what you had.

and if you had the DOHC KA harness, everything is a bolt on affair.

E5 blacktops are 94-96. if it were a J4, that SR is kind of a mut. its like an S13 blacktop with S14 electronics, and reason being was that it was made during the final years of both the S14 Silvia and RPS13 180sx, so i figure they had to get rid of all the surplus SR20 crap.
