haha that's funny... No grip on those tires. What tires were you running? I'm really looking forward to this.

Also UPDATE**
I've started wiring and i'm taking pictures for all you guys out there that want to get this done as well. Should be quite easy with pictures.

Some 245's i can't remember the brand.
Check out my thread, there is a video in there. (trying not to thread jack)

I would SERIOUSLY consider a different trans. Especially that you have to make a new driveline...

So she's awake! I have no exhaust right now just open header and also MAF wasn't connected which is why it sounds off. She started right up that's all I was concerned about. I only have a few more things left and she's off to the muffler shop.

Some pictures of my transmission hole. I gotta notch it back a little to install my shifter properly or get a 1 piece short shifter.

I will try my best on getting all the details on the wiring. It will only apply to s14 chassis since i'm using the dash harness. I know for s13 it's easier and mr. "shoguner" on here has a write up on it.

It will be the same for a s14. Just where you get your power will be different. I ran a new fuse block so I didn't bother with my chassis harness.

Should be able to find a constant and switched power in the engine bay, along with the starter signal if you want to retain the stock key.

I used stock relays from the s14 chassis fuse box.

Yesterday's picture... Mounted fans on the radiator and put car back up on jackstands. I ended getting a 1 piece driveshaft that should be ready today. I'll be able to move the car under it's own power finally! Stay tuned for more updates. I'll post pictures up of wiring once it's all finalized. Also I keep blowing the fuse for the starter switch I believe it is. It calls for a 7.5 amp fuse so I threw in a 15 amp. Let's see how that holds up.

**UPDATE**

Damn it my measurement was off! Driveshaft was a little too long so now I gotta take it back to the shop and wait another day.


On the bright side I notched back the shifter hole a bit for better clearance on the shifter since I don't have a 1 piece style "version 2" short shifter.

So I finally got my Driveshaft and slipped right in. Ended up shortening it 3-1/2" My shifter came right up on the right spot (no clearance issues). I had the chance to drive it down the street. It's freaking amazing you can feel the torque so much! In this little small clip I have no exhaust and no O2 sensors which is why it sounds a bit choppy at low rpm. Enjoy i'll post up more pix later.




Here's the link to the little test drive video...

**Update**

Car is 97% done. All I need now is just to wire up about 2 more wires from a plug i'm missing on the ECU which is very important. That plug has the wire that powers the whole ECU. That being said I ran the car on basically no MAP. that's why it felt so choppy and no power. I should be visiting the junk yard on Saturday to pick up that plug and finish up all my wiring. Exhaust are done... not the best job but it works. I'll be removing the blast pipes and installing my other muffler. Not sure the brand but it has Japanese characters on it, Looks like N1 style... Should tone it down a bit. I'll be posting pictures up with which wires to connect to what. It's really easy and I hope someone here in Cali attempts this swap.

Thank you sir... It's my daily driver so I need to work quickly lol. I did lots of research before I attempted this swap so that helped out a lot. Should be ready by this weekend. I actually need to also get my power steering hoses made at my buddies shop as well. Steering is hard as f***! All in all I can't wait to be driving this beast.

Good progress on the swap! Keep it going. I wouldn't recommend running a fuse that high on that circuit. You'll end up melting wire/insulation cause you're drawing too much. Find the short/wiring issue before you have an electrical fire.

Thank you sir!

I actually removed it from that circuit and wired it to my ignition switch (Which is I what I should have done in the first place) Works like a charm now.
