Art is right again, the gen 2 and gen 3 wiring harnesses are nothing alike. If it were a gen 3 harness, I think we would expect you to do it yourself... but it's not, it's a gen 2 and they suck.
The price that tweak, art, and DG have offered in the past are a good deal for how much work goes in to them. So please, stop telling everyone with a gen 2 that wiring is easy but time consuming.
"Im saying if you have the determination you can do anything.. and IMO I wouldn't even do a swap if I didn't want to do the wiring.. wiring is an important part in understanding the car's technical functions."
that isn't close man. No matter how hard I try, I'll never be able to fly. Or be president, or a super hero. And That's a good personal philsophy I guess. But I am definitely doing a swap without redoing the harness..... and I have some wiring experience redoing the entire 350z harness.

Ian, after looking at it all again, I'd say pass on this one. I held out and found a whole front clip for $400
