Thanks Martin much appreciated for the great day good on track action and loads of cars

For everyone going a summary of what is going on

Hi everyone small update have managed to finish off the MAF sensor and the intake air temperature sensor which has been installed into the aluminium intake Also I have installed a cold air intake for the 350z this can be used for any 350z there's a video on the next page showing how!

I'm trying my hardest to get the car finished off and show her off with Martin in his Datsun sss coupe, which is by the way lovely

Running a little bit better

Bit more progress coming together now and the engine bay is looking tight. I have changed the stock fans to Mishimoto it also helps with extra cooling and clearance, for the air intake i probably will change the size of the intake and colour of the pipes? Not sure yet I'm just concentrating on getting this up and running still waiting for a few parts but not many Did have a play with the running and seems to be working nicely

I will put on the forum the rest of the build obviously, but I will also let everyone know how reliable it has been and any problems I come across also driving pleasure per gallon ,also give a reasonable pricing and different ways of taking on a project like this!!

Thank you very much for your kind response, much appreciated. My idea has always been to bring both worlds together and use the GM, Ls series engine are very undestmated in this country and the cd09 gearbox together with 350z chassis hopefully will make enjoyable fun combinations. More importantly reliable in the long term .

I hope that I will try to get between 20 and 30 if I'm wearing me halo and a lot of the mileis down hill

it's going to be a bit juicy , but I probably won't be doing more than 3 thousand miles a year i will try not to have to much of a lead foot , maybe a little bit

Here's a short clip of just the V8 soundtrack

At the end of the evening success was sweet and the engine is very healthy but still more work before it's back on the road

Kept checking for faults and leaks etc

Here we're checking for spark not the conventional way but I've had too many shocking times in the past

Hi everyone everyone finally finished off the wiring and check systems oil in and ,power steering fluid installed. We're going to try a short start up to see if it will run . The 1st time that we put power into the system the starter motor was permanently engaged so quickly sorted starter motor to make sure it worked correctly . OK . So we turned it over and nothing just a strong smell of petrol anyway took one of the spark plugs out and checked to see if we've got a spark yes OK so checked over the engine again to see if I've missed anything the only thing that is not working at the moment is the MAF , and air intake temperature sensor. So back to the drawing board and head scratching so had a cuppa tea with a shortbread biscuits , tried the car again and came to the conclusion that we probably had a mixture of old fuel condensation build up and flooding the engine. A few minutes later Hurray successfully managed to fire up with a little help from a friend . Video to see what happened

Finally finished off with the exhaust front to back with. Most of the wiring is in waiting for a few sensors then a start up !!!!!! Then check for all oil leaking etc

Had Some good news today . The wiring has turned up So cracking on with the build Very pleased with the quality of the wiring loom

I would love to go as not only will you have time attack drifting on a fantastic circuit it's a great day out get your name down PAYCO Sam PatmorE Bunning Nismoandy

Thanks for your best wishes much appreciated . I still am waiting for the rest of the wiring loom. But hopefully in 3 weeks time I'll have all of the wiring when I get a chance next week I will update the progress on the bit's and pieces, tidy up etc

Well done Steve great job fab design for the discerning members

I have had the order for the wiring loom ecu etc,for a while I have continuing with the build I haven't chased up my order with them, Wiring specialities supply a fantastic product won I'll share with you once it's installed using all of your factory instruments and adding a couple of cool features, but because of the pandemic there's a back log of orders and I won't receive mine for two months , so that means a bit of a go slow for the build although I would like to push on i will go over what I have done and make sure that it's OK.

sorry I double up

Yes pretty much as you say, the Nissan ecu will run everything around the engine ,and a separate ecu will run and translate the LS engine
