I've been trying to get to this for a while now. . .let the fun begin
Started with the simple *****. Cleaned up the engine bay and prepped the crossmember to fab up some new mounts. Not bad for 2 hours. Should be able to shoehorn it in tomorrow and get something mocked up. After i get mounts made i'll take the KA back out, do up the engine bay, clean up and paint motor as well as give it a decent overhaul. Best use of down time durring job searching ever. . .

ok i remember seeing this on ratsun i think now...you have a link to a build page....im daily driving my b210 right now (with a few mods) but instead of spending 4-500 on a bigger modified A14...im just going to go ka....T lol so im looking for others that have done it (in the states) and that is a huge pain in the ***.

What i think i am going to do is completely strip a 240sx of its wiring harness and all and just run the stock stuff and hack in the b210 lights etc, or ill go standalone and keep the b210 light harness and all and just run the standalone for the motor, but by far wiring seems like the biggest pain in the *** for these cars....but i might just get the Hopped up Aseries and rock it untill i can get the KA completely sorted and then as a back up....but that extra 75-50 hp on a stock KA is sooo much more appealing.

I would be there if you were closer man. Wiring is kind of one of my knacks. Hope you get it figured out. And people come over, and give you a hand. Good luck man.

Thanks for the reference, Shady. I was able to close in on the key components, based on the diagram, and now i just need to clarify a few things. From the relay setup they have going, i tap in to the harness without completely cuting it and splice in to the B210 harness? Or is there another method? They give the diagram but not a clear method on how to get it setup. .
