Default swap help? PLEASE HELP

have a '97 nissan sentra gxe 1.6, 4 door and i'm about to buy a 200se-r i think its a '97 as well. the 200 has a jdm sr20 non-turbo in it already but its been wreaked in the front and bent the frame. i know the swap will go in with no problems but i'm not good with the whole wiring thing and need to know what problems if any i will run into with the wiring, or is the wiring in the 200 about the same as the gxe? please help i'm trying to get this done before christmas so i can drive it to Ga. and i live in Va.

send it heavythrottle or call enjuku. You can call JGY customs in VA or a place called garage works in Cali. They sent me an s13 sr harness precut and spliced.

post is a bit clustered...but here goes.

your donor car will have everything you need for the swap. you will have to swap engine bay wiring, ECU, axles (along with tranny of course) and possibly the throttle cable. the swap is fairly straight forward..oh, i cant remember if the radiator is different or not.

whats gonna be a bitch is getting the sr out of the bent up chassis. oh, and make sure the oil pan isnt dented when you put the sr in your chassis.

ok so since the 200sx has had the sr swap done, then that should mean the wiring should be easy and i'm located in Portsmouth

correct.plug and play.

the more time you spend on making it look like it is supposed to be there...the more it will look like stock.

you really wont even need to disconnect everything from the engine, just unlplug it from the ecu and fish it through the firewall into the engine compartment.
