I bought it from someone here. Just posted a WTB ad and had a couple people with offers. Dont forget zcar and zdriver forums as well.

Love DEFI, looks great man!

I dont think there's an off-the -shelf solution for you. My brother machined a cover for me from some delrin stock.

Great idea, I also did break out harnesses for the injectors and coil packs, makes install (and any future removal) that much easier. No problem, hope it helps. Please share your install as it comes along, would be cool to get the haltech forum a bit more active.

oh, have one like that too, haha sorry for all the IG pics

Have a couple pics like that... youre right tho, you dont think of the Z as a tiny car but park it next to a modern car and reality hits Parked my buddies' M5 and G8 Even makes my gf's old RSX look like a huge station wagon

Yeah, on another forum hagerty was discussed and they were no longer allowing "occasional commutes" on their policies. Something to look into closer if youre considering them.

Nationwide for both my daily along with an agreed value policy on the Datsun. $1,300 a year total. 100/300 coverage, central FL, 2 drivers listed. The actual break down is 955/yr for the truck, 349/yr for the Z. For the agreed value policy, they require either a bill of sale or an appraisal for the insured amount. Also, they required a daily driver on the same plan to do an agreed value plan for the Z, but considering I was paying basically the same amount for just my truck with Geico that they quoted me for both cars, it was a no brainer.

As far as datalogging, I believe the 1000 and 2000 allow for logging even when a laptop isnt hooked up, which if youre building a track,drift, etc car may prove useful. But for 90% of people, the only time youre logging is when you have a laptop in the car anyways and tuning either on the dyno or on the street. You will have a dedicated 2 step/aux rev limiter with the 500 even if you dont plan on using it...no anti-lag though. And with the 4 DPO's you still have the ability to add features as you see fit (and if you need more outputs, you can add I/O Expander boxes to get almost every option). One output is for the tach, one for thermofan, and the other 2 can be used for just about anything else. Right now, i have my 4 DPO's setup as tach output, fan 1, fan 2 and a IAC. My next upgrade, I'll probably change one of those to control a boost solenoid (have both fans come on at the same time instead of being controlled independently). But to give you an idea, you can have the generic outputs setup as just about anything you want (water/meth injection, boost control, air temp/cool temp/running time/rpm/MAP/speed switches, aux fuel pump control, shift light, dual intake valves, vtec, etc, etc. Grab the software from their site, load up the generic 500 setup file and and look through the pulldown menus in the outputs section of the setup box to see the full list. If you dont need more than that, the 500 works great. 1000 is when more inputs/outputs are desired. 2000 is the big boy . The CAS wheel swap is a simple solution, you just need to swap the wheel. Then just insert the correct settings in the software. Take your time with the wiring and get it right the first time, building the harness is where i spent most of my time. As far as getting a base tune, youll just want to turn off all correction maps and start with the base maps. Work on idle first, then no load through out the rpm range, then low load, etc working your way up. Keep an eye on A/F and start rich and work your way lean. As for timing, I kept timing really conservative until I was comfortable with my A/F numbers.

Just to reiterate, the 500 *DOES* support closed loop O2 control. Here's a quick screenshot to show it (also, i opened the onboard datalogger to show the 500 datalogs as well---im not sure why you were told the 500 doesnt do this). Yes, the VG30 wheel fits in the ZX CAS. This is what I am using. Here is a pic of the Vg30 wheel vs the 280zx wheel. The difference between the two is the VG30 wheel has a home window, where one slot is larger than the rest. This will be needed if you want to run anything other than wasted sparked/batch injection. The best thing you can do is go here: http://www.haltech.com/downloads-2/ecu-software-firmware/ Download ECU Manager and play around in it. I essentially had my car setup before I even bought an ECU. The download will include generic setups for all 3 ECUS (500,1000, 2000) and you can really see which options are available with each first hand before paying for anything. You cant go wrong with any of them, it would just be silly to get the 1000 b/c you didnt think the 500 does closed loop o2 control or datalogs when it does both. Get the 1000 if you want the extra outputs, as that is essentially the main difference b/t the two. Get the 2000 if you want to run full sequential and have every option available.

The 500 has the same number of drivers as the 1000, so injection and ignition type capabilities are the same with both (they both have 8 drivers - 4 igntion/4 injector). I am running semi-sequential injection and LS coils. If you want to run full sequential and direct fire on a 6 cylinder motor, you will need to step up to the 2000 which has 14 drivers. Also, the 500 *DOES* have data logging. I use it pretty much every time i have a laptop in the car. The 500 data logging is onboard, just like the 1000 and 2000. Another thing, the 500 *DOES* have closed loop O2 control. I use it as well, I tuned my fuel map on the street to get it close, then turned on O2 cloosed loop control and the car cruises and idles at 14.7 a/f perfectly. The only thing i wish I had in the 500 that comes in the 1000 is closed loop idle control, but if i really wanted it, I could add an i/o expander box and then I would have it available. The differences b/t the 500 and the 1000 are minimal. the 1000 and 500 have the same number of injector drivers, the same number of ignition drivers, the same number of Digital Pulsed Outputs (DPOs). With the 1000, you gain anti-lag(not to be confused with 2 step/aux rev limiter, which they both have), dedicated closed loop idle control and boost control (altho with the 500 you can still setup a boost control solenoid using a generic DPO, which gives a 2D map just look the boost control option on the 1000, so this is really null except that it would require using one of the 500 DPOs). Essentially the 1000 has extra outputs dedicated to idle and boost control, wherein the 500 requires you to use one of the four DPOs for those. Everything else is essentially the same b/t the two, you are just gaining a few extra DPOs with the 1000. The 2000 is the box that really separates itself from the rest because of the extra injector and ignition drivers.

Hey, sorry couldn't make it down saturday. Had some other things going on here in town. Glad to hear it was a good event. Any other pics?

For the two step, its just a ground switch so I used a 18ga 2 wire from McMaster. I was able to run it through the clam shell to keep it tucked away and out of sight. No binding anywhere and no extra tension on the connections when i check lock-to-lock.

I have a coiled cable connecting mine, buttons on the steering wheel for the 2-step. Havent had any issues, though the car isnt tracked, just driven on the street.

Any Haltech users care to share their timing maps? Or anyone see any obvious issues with mine? PS500, LS1 Coils, Stock F54/P90A, Stock turbo, FMIC, 60lb injectors, etc etc As of right now, boost peaks right at 11psi. Only a street tune though, no dyno time. Curious what other people's timing maps look like. Thanks, Ryan

Hmm.. Might try to make it out, thanks for the headsup.

Bumping this back up, just a few days left Use fake email addys, vote multiple times :) Thanks HybridZ!

I used Cascade Vehicle Shipping, but like someone else said, most companies just contract your order out. I believe Gemmell Transport was the actual truck that was used. I had a good experience either way, Cascade kept me informed and the driver contacted me when he was close. It cost me $900 to ship from central cali to central fl, car arrived dirty but in good shape. Someone mentioned U-Ship, I tried this as well but every bid I got was several hundred more than contacting companies directly and asking for quotes. Could just be cause of the route i needed, but the best offers i got from u-ship were 300-500 more than what I ended up paying.

Not exactly what youre looking for, but i have brand new 45 Weber triples for sale http://www.zcar.com/forum/19-sale-parts-accessories/333001-fs-triple-webers-45s-new-box-including-k-n-filters.html
