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 :scare:

Good job so far! Are you running the Wiring Specialities loom? 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 IMG-20200417-WA0008.jpg.e5d6376f1c2d9dad21f8d3ea759d72d1.jpg

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):wacko: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.

Installed the oil filter relocation kit from sikky  .  Also  Connected the fuel pipe to Ls fuel rail,   Surprisingly, a standard Nissan click on fuel connection works

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 :wacko:( just a note to everyone this part of the wiring loom has now been updated with a different version from wiring specialists)

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 :scare:,  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.
