Damn Austin, this is why I asked you to come up and give me a hand. I just want to get it running hence the mock-up; I do plan on getting those blocks. I am keeping the wiring as neat as possible. I have some slack so everything is in the factory loom. When it gets painted upon reassembly it will be real pretty. I wish I had your skills it’s just me, myself and I. Thanks for jacking

Hells Yeah!! Only down to the MSD Tach Adapter, dress in the wiring and some other little misc things. Gauges are done, and boy do I have scars on my knuckles to prove it. Can you see the joy and pain in my face in this first pic. Swapped out the FPR mechanical gauge and decided with some persuasion from Buck to try the Blitz pressure sensor to see if it fit and it does. I wasn’t thrilled in rigging up a T to go with the stock oil pressure switch and now I don’t. Now I won't have to leave the cockpit everything will be in view and in reach.

Thanks Buck

This is for guys using a stock 240Z tach, how did you hook up your SDS via coil pack tach signal wire to the MSD tach adapter? Is it needed? Also where did you tap the signal from the coil and run the wire back or wiring harness? I don't want to speculate as there is too much misinformation out there so please discuss.... Thanks,

Did you figure it out?

Well the SDS is wired and I started on the gauges I have them all wired up. Let me tell you I need to have umpa lumpa hands to hook up the back brackets in the triple gauge pod verses my clubs for hands. Even with 60mm gauges I am struggling. I have one hooked up on the left and the one on the right is being a PITA!!! The one in the middle I have no idea how I'm going to secure that one, does anyone have any ideas?? I got my answer from SDS concerning the wideband o2 and am in the process of wiring that up. It's the gray wire from the SDS to the gray wire of the wideband. I also have the MSD tach adapter to wire up. I am verifying the connection of the SDS coil packs to the tach adapter with SDS right now. Does anyone know where the best place to tap the 240Z tach signal from? I was told to run a wire back from the + coil in the engine bay back into the interior and do it that way instead of tapping into the harness. Any other ideas?

Good Lord.. nicely done Robbie. I give that pucker factor way up.!!!!

Say it isn't so..... While googling to see if there are updates in the state which there are not I came across this: http://www.tattonparkmd.com

Awesome Hanns the GTR never had a chance! Nice hybridz plug on the back window in that second pic

Nice historic plate Austin. BTW you have a PM from me.

I remember a military spouse was at the hobby shop in Japan. Her husband was deployed and he asked her to change the oil while he was gone. She did alright and used a whole case of oil plus some to fill it to the rim of the oil cap. Luckily we noticed before she fired it up and we drained about 8 quarts too many out of it.

Ok it’s really close, all I have left is to install: 3 gauges, wideband o2, radiator, oil cooler lines. I bought a gas can full of premium and 2 gallons of coolant. I had to email SDS and ask about hooking up the wideband. My wideband has one white wire for a wideband linear output and a gray for a narrowband out. I was stuck didn't want to fry anything, they said use the gray. BTW I have a PLX M300. I bought a relay for my keyed +12v since SDS recommends using a relay for single or multiple keyed +12v source into a fused distribution (distro) block. I had a Streetwires FBXM68 mini fused distro block like the below picture. I originally have a single inline fused 20 amp +12v wire source going into a regular distro block then I hooked up my accessories into that. I think the relayed option will work out much better; I'm going to put 30amp mini fuses in it and carry spares. (from left to right) +12v constant distro block, inline fuse (it goes from starter to inline fuse to distro block), ground distro block, keyed +12v distro block (getting swapped out for Streetwires fused distro block), fuel pump relay, fan relay. This is just a mock for now, I know my kick panel is beat up but that will transfer when I build an enclosure for my 4" kick panel speakers. After finding a few pin holes where the cowl drain is then discovering an even bigger rust hole beside the drain after removing the cowl, I decided to mount the SDS behind the glove box. I was really pissed the only spot of rust on my Z!!!

LOL, thanks man.....

I was flipping through Modified Magazine at the store and came across an article talking about Laminova Heat Exchangers. Here is the magazine article online: http://www.modified.com/tech/modp-0912-laminova-heat-exchanger/index.html I currently have an air-oil cooler in place now. I was looking for a way to clean up the engine bay and once I go turbo to give me more room for the front mount intercooler. I know heat exchangers have been around forever, like Accusump, Aeroquip to name a few and all probably have their own pros and cons. I am not set on one or another. Let's discuss..... tell me your experience, thoughts and opinion to stay with what I have or to go with one of these? This is for street car with some occasional drag strip and auto cross use. Thanks,

May we all enjoy this day with friends and family while thinking of the less fortunate and especially those serving abroad! Eat well my Z brothers and sisters!!

Roger that, give me a buzz when you can.

yeah, yeah those are great but my intent was to share funny text messages but oh well the thread is off on another direction....... guess I should have titled it Funniest Text Message Site Ever.... (to date)

Oh I forgot mention, upper right hand corner you can search by area code, you can group together all the morons in your area. Good times...

ok well this is the funniest car related site... You have to admit it is some funny texts that people post and the best part you can even order a t-shirt with that text on it...

It will keep you occupied for hours.... http://www.textsfromlastnight.com Enjoy Happy Friday!

Thanks man! You can do anything if you put your mind to it

Wiring is done under the hood. I don't think it looks too bad for my first time building and wrapping an EFI harness. The wiring harness and spark plug wires are roughed for now I'll clean it up more later. Check it out I am so freaking happy.. TPS 02 Sensor MAP Next up interior wiring: I used the existing holes from the a/c. When I paint the car I plan to cut out that corner and replace it with a cleaner one and put the harness somewhere else...

Congrats on the move Yasin, one step closer to the east coast!

Nice going Gabe, hope to be there one day...

I haven't tried this yet but here is an email from SDS:
