    It's not hard just get wiring diags for each loom
    And see what's common between the two and join up what u need
    Is car going to be road registered
    Getting the dash to be accurate will be the complicated and fiddly bit

    Sump may need to be modified or i think you can buy a sway bar that will clear it. ( i chose to modify sump, as i had a mate with a tig welder)

    throttle cable I used the one that came with the engine (jzx100) fitted easy enough to the s14 pedal

    lots of shit if you use the google machine, this is a good site for wiring http://wilbo666.pbworks.com/w/page/3...20-%20wilbo666

    damn just thought of something that may be an issue. the shell i got is manual and im going auto. i am going to assume the wiring will be different to what ill need?

    There is no issue with the wiring
    Just figure out what the Nissan wiring does and relate that to the 1j
    Should only take u a day

    If its a track car u might as well rip everything out and just wire up the few things u need
    Prob less confusing in the long run
    U don't have to figure what the Nissan sheit does

    I have a whiteline sway bar in my 1jz 180sx, I just had to put some spacers under the sway bar mount to drop it around 1" to clear the sump.

    I also have my stock 180sx dash working with dakota digital gear,
    SGI-8 for tacho

    SGI-5 for speedo
