I can confirm that ES now does have the kit for s14, because that is what I use on my zenki.

If the head unit work in another car, then it is surely a wiring issue. Check for continuity between the wires at the speaker to the connection at the amp in the back, then the continuity at the amp to the connection on the back of the radio. From doing this, you should be able to figure out your pr...

I have a/c with my t-28 setup from the beginning. I never wanted to get rid of it or have any intention on doing so. The only way I would get rid of a/c it if it is designated strictly for autox or track, but then I would have my other car back up in daily status.

With the head off, I would use gasoline instead of water. Gasoline is thinner so it would give you a more accurate result to see if the valve is seating properly.

I'm not sure what the solution to your problem would be, but on mine, I have some jump in timing on small load acceleration. Like accelerating from 70mph to 80mph. Last time logging, I see my timing would drop on some spot of the logging area. But not as much as your.

On the alarm safety wire (ground wire), just tap that into the 5 spd neutral safety switch and call it a day.

This is what i did on mine s14 and never have a problem with it. Moving my shift from neutral to a side before getting it into gear shut the car off immediately.
