Are you planning on swapping EVERYTHING from the front clip? If you are keeping ecu, etc. the wiring harness off the jsped should be alright.

Didn't think about that one. Are you converting to RHD?

the jspec wiring harnesses are actually LONGER than the US ones, i think you all are thinking backwards. the wiring harness length is going to be the least of your problems.

i'd do a series4NA> series4TII swap if thats possible. much easier.

He has the complete front end. It would make it easier, i.e. mounts, etc.

i wasnt planning to converto to RHD due to the complexity. Already having enough trouble figuring out how to put in JDM motor. The motor is limited edition model, which is the last motor they put in production for FC's. I will have the COMPLETE front end from dashboard to front bumper.

yes. a lot of work, you will then have to plum in the gas,brake, and clutch, also run every thing for the dash.

i believe (i might be wrong) but when you do the swap you realy only need to swap the passenger side harness(the one that controles the injectors) the other side controles the dash, headlights, ext. i think the only differance is the ALT connection. im not to sure like i said i could be wrong on this.
