Oh, and for the love of God, don't cut the plug off of your car's stereo harness, out of 4 S13's I have owned, all have had the chassis plug cut out, and thats just retarded, lol. You can get a conversion plug from Best Buy/ Circuit city, and it's just plug and play, just have to match the colors from the adapter harness to the stereo deck. Simple.

+1. I've done both. Wired a '96 G20 deck into a '93 G20 (didn't line up AT ALL with wiring) and a number of aftermarket decks in multiple cars. I'd prolly tend to agree with you that aftermarket is the way to go, but either way is doable.

The Z33 deck will fit in the opening but it's contoured differently and won't look right in the S14 dash. The plugs are the same, but unless the one you get is a preamp deck you'll have to bypass the OE amplifiers. The tweeters are wired in parallel to the door speakers so there's nothing needed additionally for those.

And lastly, the Z33 decks are ugly as living hell. A double DIN out of a 98-01 Altima or 95-99 Maxima is a much better choice.

Yeah that's true, I'm looking into a stock looking unit because I live in a ghetto part of socal and I want something that looks like it's not worth stealing, but then again I have a 240 lol
