okay so thanks to bleach doing his turbo swap I figured I should get my *** in gear. So I gathered all the wiring up removed all in the engine bay that I can, and I am going to start "cleaning, and hiding" stuff. So here are some pics of what I got done so far today.. It's starting to rain but that just means I dont have to use the hose now to wash off the degreaser

Also here are some pics of the old tranny/motor that was removed.. Tranny looks clean as hell but we all know its a tricky little bastard.. (the 4-5speed)

 

Nice keep it coming along. I want to see this thing done. Especially if I come out for MSA

 

okay I am done with the engine bay for now until I find out what wires I can do away with that the SDS will take over.. here are the PICS of what iwas done so far.. also I am tring to remove the "hardlines" for the brake/clutch to paint them, but I keep stripping the damn nuts.. Any suggestions?? Thanks..

 

have u soaked them in penetrating oil first?

 

I did now yeah.. there is one left that is a bitch.. I am gonna have to bust out the vise grips for that one.. Now I am setting up my crank trigger for the SDS though..

 

damn bro, I'm jealous of you havin that SDS setup. Gunna be tight!

 

Here is some more stuff.. I painted and setup my crank bracket.. always fun.. Also a pic of the magnets on the back..

P.S. if anyone has the adapter/nipple/"T" for where the oil filter goes on I need one please PM me for how much you want for it..

 

Use a C spanner on the brakeline nuts, its like a ring spanner with a slot cut through the ring part. All looks like lots of fun there

 

okay.. soooo, the SDS system I have controls the motor and EFI, and uses its own sensors.. so looking in the chilton and Nissan manual's the only wires I need in the engine bay is the Headlight sensor and wiring to the headlights and turnsignals .. I am also not running A/C or heater.. so can someone just confirm that for me please..
(Basically the only wires not motor related are the headlights,and turn signals right??)

 

Yeah that's right except for a couple of things. If you plan to keep the stock fluid reservoirs those have wiring for the warning system (which I'm tossing personally). And then the wiper motor and wiper pump motor if you're keeping both of those. You're not going to have side markers right? So you won't need that wiring. Horns if you want those. Thats all I can think of right now. If I think of anything else I'll let you know.

 

Yeah I got rid of most of that stuff a while ago.. SWEET.. I wont have barely any wires to see.

 

So at the end of the day these are the only wires coming out of the fire wall untill the SDS goes in

 

Out with the old and in with the new

 

Well I decided where to mount things.. here are some pics.. There are to many wires in this car that are unnecesary

p.s. The engine bay will be painted before the packs are mounted.

edit:forgot to load pics

 

Dude your my hero !!!! your the best zdriver friend i have and i know .. hugs !!!! may god bless your z with long life !!! drive hard drive fast boost to last !!! <- i just made that up pretty cool

 

Wow, it looks great. I keep changing my mind but I think I will definatley be ready for a stand alone this summer. I am not sure if I missed something but that last post seemed a little odd, No Offense.

 

ya mean this post?


yeah... he types out some wierd stuff from time to time

 

Thanks for the compliment See what boost controllers do

 

lol boost controllers just make the POV talk to me ? lol sounds like a squirrel being murdered by a cockroach ! lol i need to buy a better POV before i mess around with more boost ... yea Nismopick i do say weird things thank u for the compliment !

 

If there were no strange people then 'normal' people wouldn't exist cause you first have to determine whats strange to determine that it's not normal. But then again if you consider dumping everything you've got: time, money, sweat, and blood, into you car; then aren't we all considered a little strange? Or maybe THAT is normal It's all in the mind of the observer I guess

 

Well the project is on hold as I am off to FL in the morning, I did get my NEW flywheel today so when I get back and get my hands on a clutch alignment tool I will get that motor in ASAP I am soo close to getting done. In the mean time I will be reading my SDS instructiuons and "maximum boost" (again) on the planes No one steal my car please


:cough cough: BLEACH

 

or maybe "Sanity is in the eye of the beholder"

 

That works too. Of course some people are just plain whacked out though

 

for example.. I mean

Anyways.. I am her in Tallahassee now after missing the first flight (to early) I am here now.. in the woods on dial up.. Your right J this does suck
