hi, im new to nico club. im starting my s14 sr to s14 swap this weekend, i have my front clip, have fsms and wiring diagrams, i know pretty much what to do. i have a few friends helping me with it that have done sr swaps before, but they did s13 sr into s13, so im a little concerned about wiring, i havent been able to find much about s14 sr into s14 wiring and am horrible with wiring diagrams, ive got 48 hours starting saturday at 5 am to finish the swap and have it running, any suggestions/help at all would be appreciated. thanks

Welcome, and good luck sir.
S14 SR to a S14 chassis isn't a problem.
This might help you.

When doing my swap I wanted to finish it over the weekend.
But apparently my wiring man decided to bone some chick during those nights...

you have to host on like photobucket or something. if you click on and view the picture once its loaded, there is an "IMG CODE" box on the left bottom of the screen. copy paste that link into a post and it should bring the picture up

Looks great. My s14 sr should be coming in within the next few days. Wiring shouldn't be hard, just take your time and solder. If you want to go the extra mile get braided sleeving like tech flex to make it look extra clean. Good luck though!

There was a loud pop like a fuse blew when we tried to start it, but the guy that had my car before I did pulled the labels off of the fuse boxes so idk which is what.

Oh and my car already had z32 caliper on the front, but we broke them.. Never disassemble... The clip didn't have calipers on it, it did have a pair or tanabe sustec street coilovers on it though lol

That would work lol I think I figured it out though, I'll find out tonight, auto ka harness is a lil different than ka manual so I couldn't find a good wiring diagram, I'm gonna post what we figure out if it works. And I think Knoxvillenismo called the coilovers, not sure though, he already yanked my hks fmic and hks hi power lol
