xtreme 2

we are selling our entire set-up now... $85 shipped to anywhere in the US for the Disty, ECU, MAF, and Wiring Harness... Daniel decided to basically scrap everything we have done so far and is going to just let the car sit and then attempt MegaSquirt later in the summer...

hmm... then can someone show me a pic of where this wire bundle goes in with the rest of the wires, or if I can be told where each wire goes so I can wire it up myself... clipped it thinking it was Fuel Pump and now that we actually need it I can't figure out where the hell it goes back in... was it part of the EFI harness or is it on the other side of the plug from the Fuel Pump wiring?

ok that's what we are doing then... one thing we are thinking about doing is, and I don't know if any cars that have this aside from the Ford Probe, but they have a relay in the hatch area that is wired basically as a "jolting fuse" for the Fuel Pump. It is mounted to the chassis and has a little button to complete the circuit to the fuel pump, and if the car is hit (or sometimes if you hit a large bump) the button pops out, cutting the fuel... Now, it turns out the Fuel Pump Relay is not our problem, but it was the EFI Relay. When I first saw the how-to we thought they were the same relay so I clipped it off since we had the fuel pump hardwired. Now we cannot find where to wire it back in. Without this, I have heard that the ECU will not turn on with the accessory power, is this true? What other downsides are there to this relay not being intact? Can anyone tell me exactly where in the harness it is so I can re-attach it? Thanks

might I add this is a track car, not a daily driver...

what's the difference between turning off the key in an accident and flipping a switch that glows red when the fuel pump is on? hey where is Plug 3 on the wiring harness? Can't seem to find that, although it doesn't seem to affect me any since I am not using A/C, have an aftermarket water temp gauge, and don't care about the neutral safety switch... and then with the Fuseable Links, what purpose does this serve? If only the brown and green wires are connected to anything and all the other wires are cut, what is the point of leaving it intact?

wow cool, that helps a ton... so the only thing I have left needed to explain is the Fuel Pump/EFI Relay... We are using a push-button starter for the fuel pump and starter system, so do we need to keep the Fuel Pump Relay in tact or can we remove it? I am looking at it and it seems all that it supplies is a power to the relay, a ground for the relay, power to the fuel pump, and the prime wire... doesn't seem needed if my fuel pump isn't even connected to the ECU...

ok thanks... I'll look into that and then see where I am at in the morning...

no still using the stock one. The dash is currently out of the car being fiberglassed so I just stuck with that. I am basically just following this write-up here: http://probe-enthusiast.com/280zx/Z31_swap.doc If it's not listed there, I didn't do it, so that could be part of the problem. Can you offer anything beyond that to help me finish this?

how do I tell the high current side from the others? and which Relay do I bypass, since there are 3 of them?

Hey guys. Haven't posted here much but the guys at ZDriver are becoming retarded in trying to help me with my problem, so I am posting it here hoping that someone can help. I started the Z31 ECU Upgrade to my 1982 280zxt back before Christmas, but with snow and a lack of a garage I was unable to complete it until this past weekend when it started warming back up. I double checked all of the steps from the tutorial, switched the 108 wire so it would control the Fuel Pump, added the 84 disk to my disty, and have an 84 Turbo ECU and MAF. The car ran perfectly fine before the swap, but now it is acting weird. If I go out in the morning it will fire up fine, idle fine, and revv with no problems. But then, after a bit, it will just stutter and die. Sometimes it will start back up no problem, but sometimes it will not want to start back up for the rest of the day. I double-checked the wiring and everything is correct and secure. Today, my friend came over and we went to work, adding a fuel stabilizer thinking the gas was just impure and when under a load was fouling up the plugs. It fired up easily after dying, but then died the same after about 5 minutes, and won't start back up. I have another project car that we took the adjustable Fuel Pressure Regulator off of, and put it on thinking there was too much fuel and it was blocking the spark. No difference. I then pulled off the fuel lines we had just installed and found that they were all still dry, both sides of the FPR, showing that there was no fuel entering the system. We are both out of ideas, so I am looking for help. Like I said, if it sits for a while it will fire right up, but then dies within minutes of fuel deprivation. Also, after we installed the aftermarket FPR to be able to tune the Fuel Pressure, when we went to start up we heard two pops, one from the intake filter and one from the wastegate, both put up a little cloud of smoke. Any suggestions will be gladly taken into consideration. Just need it running...

damn not bad, not bad at all... can't wait to see it finished. In the process of modifying the stock dash in my friend's 280zx since it was cracked to hell, but I am nowhere near that good... might have to come by and take a look at this thing in person next time I am in T-Town...
