It sucks, IMHO wiring specialtys is deffinatly the way to go, I did everything myself on my car, no shop has ever worked on it, and when my friends help me they are usually just tool monkeys, but when I got a good look at the wiring for this swap I said no way, there is just way to many ways to screw up, its worth the money, everything is plug and play, and you get customer support, what more could you ask for. If it was S13 motor and chasis it would be a differant story, but putting S13 and S14 together = wiring mess. Although this was three years ago and wiring diagrams for this swap were a lot harder to come by, and not nearly as many people had done it, now things may be differant, finding a good writeup may be much easier now.

ps your car is beautiful

do you have any experience swapping the s13 motor into the s14 chassis (wiring mainly)? or sr20det in general i guess.
