Nismoandy Posted June 12, 2020 Author Share Posted June 12, 2020 Hi Andy me to ,but mostly it will make the installation a bit easier as i can reuse the power steering and air conditioning line's from the car which is a big bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismoandy Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Quite a lot of the mechanical side of the build has been done. The prop shaft is going to be installed just a photo to show the difference in length of the the original 350z carbon fibre to the new shorter prop shaft. I have purchased water pipes and vacuum lines ,and intend to get them install in around two weeks time but first I will be tackling the wiring, with some help as I hate wiring Edited June 17, 2020 by Nismoandy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuroKiddo Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Good job so far! Are you running the Wiring Specialities loom? Also what are you doing for the exhaust manifolds? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what are you doing for the exhaust manifolds? So the wiring, is a stand-alone, so the ecu and engine wiring is completely separate to the ECU in 350z, lighs etc so yes Wiring Specialities loom ,quite amazing stuff to be honest I will try to explain when once we have some progress on the wiring but I'm no expert. Ps. (I'm expect the dashboard to light up like a Christmas tree)who said wiring wasn't fun. The exhaust manifold and starter motor and steering rack which is positioned on the driver side has been a challenge as there is not much room for clearance on all three items to work properly without interfering with each other it would have been better if the starter motor had been positioned on the passenger side but the kit does not allow for this. I have managed to find and enough room for this to work without interferences with each other. I will try me best to put some photos to show when I have finished install.

Nismoandy Posted June 29, 2020 Author Share Posted June 29, 2020 Been tidying up the pipe runs and in some places secured them , so as they can not to rub on anything that might damage them .

Nismoandy Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 (edited) Onto the next stage now with the wiring , this is stage where there's not a lot to show you but here's a couple of photos to give you a rough idea and it will take a while to complete so I probably won't post for couple of weeks ( just a note to everyone this part of the wiring loom has now been updated with a different version from wiring specialists) Edited January 9, 2023 by Nismoandy update 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark@Abbey m/s Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 awesome build , Wiring specialities loom are pretty much plug and play , I presume your using the LS ECU so are you using the CAN BUS translator so the stock car is happy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismoandy Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nismoandy Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
