Mine was pretty simple (in my s13)...

Find where the cable to the hood popper goes through (under the brake and clutch MC's) and run it through there. Then I went over the steering column and back under the carpet next to the center console.

What do you mean "I went" through the hole.And then a lot of things went through the hole? You aren't r@ping your car are you?

I drilled on my S14. Just below the AC piping on the passenger side floor. Ran the cables and booted/siliconed it up.

I tried to use the areas people suggested but finally gave up. I believe people recomend the AC hole, the hood popper/cable hole and some use the Main harness hole.....and some drill.

how long is your alls power cable? running it through the driver side then back over to the battery seems like there wouldn't be enough, if you bought a wiring kit.
