I never wired anything major, except a car radio. In an attempt to force myself to learn how to build a chassis harness, I cut-up my 240sx harness! Several years later, I'm stuck with a car I can not drive. I purchased the ARC system in 2015 but due to military obligations and medical issues its been sitting in the box. I left all the plugs and wiring to the lights with 4 a inch pig tale to solder the ARC in. As soon as it hits the 60 degree mark in Austin I will start taring into the dash, I got a month or so.

If you have any suggestions please chime in.

Also looking at doing my cars wiring. Thankfully I have not cut out my harness ! :-)
Looked at Motec PDM`s but crazy prices ! Also wiring in a new Link G4 ecu setup but as you, want to do it myself. Researched a few units already and it seems this one from Summit is rhater respected if you look at the reviews. My car is street driven as well, not sure how this will hold up to constant use or daily use. Seems to be race car or drag car specific. Any one else have an opinion on this unit ?
Following your pain here bud, mines been off the road a year now..

My drift car has an ARC8k, was easy to install and wire in. It should have come with some sort of basic diagram or information on what you need to wire where. Keep in mind you're not going to be able to have every single thing work like it did with the factory harness.

Back story, my car set in New Orleans on a trailer for 3 years. The car was covered and I checked weekly to ensure water did not get through the cover. I was welding the front tubs last week and noticed metal flakes on the driver side frame rail. I thought no big deal, and tapped it with a hammer. It was all rusted all the way through. I don't have time or the funds to properly fix it, so I'm looking for a new chassis. I have a few options to consider: 2006 g35 2 door manual chassis or another s13 chassis.
