I am at the end of my install and trying to get the wiring done. 1974 Datsun 260z that had 2 carburetors. 1. Where do the coil wires connect onto the ECU? Have a coil from a 1983 280zxt. I was told that you get the 280zxt washer fluid wiring harness and plug that into the coil or make your own harness which I can. So if I make my own 2 wire harness for the coil, where do these wires goto? 2. Fuel relay- this picture is what I have coming out of the wiring harness. I am sure that the green relay is the fuel pump relay. What is the white 6 connector that is attached by a black with white stripe wire to the fuel relay? Are those the wires I am suppose to run to the fuel pump? 3. Should the fuel injectors have juice when the key is not on? I am so close to starting the car!

Ok more progress today but went backwards as well. As posted above I had the whole suspension in, brakes on mounted just waiting on the drive axle. The right rear wheel has about a 10% tow in and about 20% camber inward as well. I have fully adjusted the top mount of the Techno coilovers as far as I can. I am still running stock lower control arms and determined that I need adjustment. So tax money came in today and went right to Techno for there lower contol arms. They will be here Friday!

Great job Andy!! Keep at it, I am close like you.Think I have finished the suspension last night. I am onto wiring now of the ecu. I see that you ran the coolant line through the throttle body. What did you route the return through? I couldnt see from the pictures. Do you think this is necessary?

Great,, How does it feel? Did you get on it at all.

Oh I also moved the battery to the rear, put in an aluminum box. I can still get the spare tire in and out. Ran the negative to a ground bolt point on the chassis. Wired the positive to the starter. As well.

Really I started another thread in the project section. Has more detail of the build since it seems to be a total rebuild.

I am testing different style designs for colors on the valve color. I tried this red, its Aztec Red from Nissan. To orangy. So decided to just go with aluminum look on the Turbo lettering. I am going to paint the Nissan a brighter red. Then paint the outside line red, and polish the inside line like the Turbo is. I will update as it goes! i took the ball part of the throttle joint and drilled a hole in it, the one that is on the top of the accelerator pedal. then ran the throttle cable end through there. Ran the T off of the oil sender outlet from the block for the pressure side of the turbo. I am using a -4 steel braided line in and a -6 to dump into the oil pan! Yes i am going to replace the kinked 90! More to come, I am home for a few more days. The car is a roller. I should be picking up the drive axle in the next 2 days. Will post the install of that. Then finish the wiring and add fluids. Can you say fire in the hole I am ready!

Ok had to travel to (drive that is) to Rhode Island, Conneticut and the other states it takes to get there from here. First when I got the mustache bar and diff front mount I thought I could use the stock rear drop downs. But using the techno toy tuning peaces does not allow this as the drop downs and dog bone do not clear the rear of the Z32 Diff. So had to order those along with the dog bone from Techno Toy Tuning. That solved that problem. Another problem using the Techno Toy Tuning rear diff mounts with the stock rear lower control arm is clearance. I had to do about a 1/4 inch of clearancing on the passenger side top rear control arm. Being that the right and left control arms are identical, with the way that they are made one side has a lip that sticks up where the other side sticks down. This means on the one sticking up interferes with the axle bolts. I just took a cutoff wheel and nipped it. Got the Z32 rear brakes on utilizing the parking brake. I have the parking brake cable laid out and altered the adjust mount in the tunnel to accept the Z32 cables. This will allow them to be adjusted for the brake handle as well as still doing adjustments in the rear rotor for the internal brake shoes. While doing this I am replacing all the bushings. Really a pain but will be worth it! I am using some 5 lug Z32 N/A wheels running 225/45 tires. Had to use 4 to 5 lug spacers Have some more updates that I did today will post as soon as I can

Not much to report. Took the intercooler pipe elbow and blow off valve to a friends. He welded in the adapter for me. Had him weld in a oil bung for the turbo drain line. Mounted fuel pump, fuel regulator and surge tank. Ran the fuel lines. Getting closer, the list is getting shorter.!

I just went thru the same thing. I got a Z32 rear dif that came out of a non-turbo. You can look in my project post here on hybrid. You will need to go with a new mustache bar, drop downs and dog bone. Arizona or Technotoytuning have this available. I used technotoytuning, they use the axles that come out of the Z32 meaning you have to get there backing plates to accept the axles. Then you have to get new lower strut housings etc.. Its a domino effect. All of them add up on the price. I first thought I could have custom alxes to use the inner 6 bolt cvjoint of the Z32's and outer stock S30 ujoint setup. That ended up being to much work so stepped up and spent the money. Good Luck.

I am switching to 5 lug this week and will be using the 16x7.5, 90's 300zx wheels. I plan on not using spacers. These have a 45 mm offset and I will be using a spacer that is 1.25" thick to get clearance of the brake calipers and springs on the coil-overs. Just have to measure and plan it outt

Looks goood, Had do customize the mounts for my build also.

I am using the stock ecu and afm now. I wanted to do this on the low budget but as my dad said take your highest guess double it and then add an oops factor! Once you cut and meld the 2 bellhousing, it slides right in. On the passener side there is a clip bolted to the S15 tranny for the breather hose that gets in the way of the chassis mount, just have to unbolt and get the tranny lined up to the motor input shaft in the fly wheel your done. The S15 6 speed tranny is used in the Japanese version of our Nissan 240sx, its called the Sylvia. This model started in 1999 had this tranny which is made in the US mated to the SR20DET with VVT(Variable Valve Timing). Tranny also used in Mazda MX-5. The drive axle is being made. It is 31" from the front of the Diff to the seal in the back of the tranny. I am scavenging the ends from my brothers 300zx. It was an automatic and the slip sleeve matches on the front of the 2 peace drive axle and then use the rear of the axle. New drive shaft will be 1 peace.

Thought I would actually post my build in the project section since this is a project. As the story goes my 1995 240sx was stolen on 10/21/12. Had SR20DET S15 with the S15 6speed, Nistune ECU management. Tomei 272/272 cams. 750cc injectors, Z32 MAF. AEM tru-boost controller. Ran the J30 dif with abs sensor that I used with a Digital decoder to convert signal for the speedo. Full gauge setup last tune done on the car in July put 305 HP to the rear wheels at 15lbs of boost. Car had working A/C. Fortune 500 coilovers, Isis rear adjustable suspension. Paint and body work done in July as well, Navan front bumper, side skirts and rear valiance. Here is a dyno pull!! http://s158.photobucket.com/user/melbellwood1/media/1995%20Nissan%20240sx/20110923_162204.mp4.html Here is a run at the track!! http://s158.photobucket.com/user/melbellwood1/media/1995%20Nissan%20240sx/20120113_185224.mp4.html The gray 240 is a friend of mines, He runs deep into the 11's at the track makes 390hp runs sticky drag radials all with A/C! Car was recovered 3 days later stripped. Did not have full coverage, my stupidity. Makes ya sick. Now onto the next project. Found thru the internet in Salt Lake City Utah. Car originally bought by person when living in California. Car was originally green and repainted in the early 80’s red. Late model 1974 260Z. Car had updated DGV carbs installed. Western Star wheels and headlight covers with a rear deck louver. Car ran great for short trips to work and out. But my first road trip to a car show about 60 miles away the car overheated on the freeway cruising at 70mph. So switched out for a new radiator and thermostat. First upgrades was a twin pipe exhaust through twin glass packs. Sound is awesome. Power is limited. I was originally going do a head swap, raise the compression and run triple 2 barrels. I wanted to get 200+ hp. After driving the car for 3 months and missing the pull of a turbo, I decided to do a turbo. Didn’t help that a close friend drives a Golf daily with 400+ hp to the front wheels and owns a tuning shop. I decided from research (not deep enough to add a turbo to the 260Z motor because I am over 4 times that cost so far and still counting). Looking it over I thought with intercooler and buying all the parts that I could do this with only about $1500 out of pocket and I would have a turbo driver! HAHAHAHA..... Plans are to be a driver with some track use. Here are some of my trips to time attacks and road course racing. http://s158.photobucket.com/user/melbellwood1/media/Tooquick260z/20130216_150116_zps0eee095d.mp4.html At the point of putting the parts together and driving my car some issues started happening to the 40 year old car. The transmission that worked flawlessly started being difficult to put in first gear (after removal realized it was the slave cylinder no pressure). It developed an exhaust leak, thought it was the new exhaust that I installed. During removal of the intake realized that the #6 cylinder exhaust bolts were gone, yeah missing. Also the head gasket was leaking. I found great deals on all the parts and put them together. Turbo, ECU, AFM, wiring harness etc. Look at the boxes of parts WOW! I located a P90 head and had it rebuilt and flycut. Bought some cam tower shims from Derek, member on hear from Ocala. I put new valves from the 75-78 head with some addition spring spacers got them lined up. Before.... After.... Bolted to the head with cam timing done. Cleaned the engine compartment and painted with a few coats of clear. Looks like a deep dark hole where all the money has gone. Who’s counting right! While this was going on my brother toasted his 1993 300zx by letting the timing belt break, can you say interference. With the tranny going bad(auto) and a/c problems and other issues he decided to part it out. So, I purchased a lot of the parts from him. Breaks, Diff, MAF, Master cylinder and booster, and drive shaft to put in my Z. To put all that stuff on I purchased the rear setup from TechnoToyTuning. Nice stuff. Rear Z32 diff mounts, coilovers with Tokico’s. Old and new clutch, I should hook now!!! Handle the projected 250 HP! So since I had a 6 speed in the stolen car I decided to go with the same tranny. S15 6speed. I researched and found a few people with attempted installs of this tranny but no one had a step by step build. I posted I wanted to do this and a fellow member Xnke (Jacob) said he could help. He said to send the 6 speed with an S30 bellhousing. So I purchases a 6 Speed from JDM Tech of Orlando put them on a crate and sent to Xnke. He then cut the S30 bellhousing and mated it to the S15 6 Speed. Jacob informed me that this is actually a Mazda MX-5 6 speed. he can source and work on these tranny's! Awesome. Here are pics of taking the S30 tranny out and apart. Then with the 6 speed back ready to be installed. Znke even machined the speed access hole for the S30 speedo cable. He got the 4.11 speedo gear that will work great with the Z32 4.09 rear diff. Tranny installed and mounted in Stock tranny mount! Street T installed to run the turbo oiling line. Electric fans installed,,,, Isis 12" fans Stay tuned for the process.......

Doesnt seem like much but,,,, I GOT THE TRANNY INSTALLED< BOLTED and MOUNTED. Yahoo.... thanks Jacob!! Once I have the correct release bearing and collar on. Installed the new slave cylinder with a stainless steel braided line. Installed the injectors Final bolt on of the turbo with hose fittings for oil lines Bolted the down pipe on with the O2 sensor Ordered the drive axle ended up being 31 inches from the flange of the diff to the seal in the tranny. Thats what the driveline company needed. Ordered rear shocks,, tokico's and new dog bone with drop downs to clear the new Z32 diff Ran the vacuum hose from the intake to the brake booster on the master cylinder. More to come!

Got mine there works great!! Comes with the longer allen headed bolts as well.

Ok,, Today got the diff mounted in the car. Here are some pics. I also mounted the battery box in the rear, ran the negative to a chassis ground spot. Ran the positive up to the engine compartment. Got some help from the family (dad and brother) to mount the S15 6 speed up in the car. The shifter fits in the stock hole, looks like the stock mount will have to be moved back about an inch. Will work on mounting the tranny to the motor to get a measurement for the drive axle. The S15 6speed tranny takes a 90's model automatic front yoke. Then of course I am using the rear dif out of a 300zx 93, r200 3.90. Mounted the 2 electric fans to the radiator. Made a mount to hold the AFM. I used the A/C bolt hole. I made a bracket out of a 2" wide 1/8th thick aluminum plate, bent it to bolt onto the AFM. Much more to work on.

Great video good demonstration of old vs new

I talked to Techno Toy Tuning and they cant get them either. Said that the importer was sold to another company and as soon as they transfered tthe deal the new company or the that companies parent went bankrupt and ceased all sales. Now Tokico is trying to arrange a new seller.

I am back but back on the road tonight for an overnighter in Miami. Got back last night at 9:30 from DE, CT, MD and PA. That was in 5 days all driving. Got some parts in while I was gone...... Mustache Bar for the N/A Z32 Dif Z32 axles shortened with new boots and the diff front mount Motor Painted Front of the motor on,,,, yes forget to put the crank pully oil seal in. Did some fitting final fit on intake and exhaust manifolds.. Also got the S15/S30 tranny in from Jacob!!! Check out the S30 bellhousing mated to the S15 6 speed tranny..... Ok... the list is getting shorter. Will post more as it goes together. Still to come plumbing the fuel surge tank, electric fuel pump, electric fuel pump relay and the the turbo ecu wiring.

I heard from Techno Toy Tuning (T3) that the distributor sold there rights to another company then that company filed for bankruptcy. So now Tokico is working out the distribution routing and managing in the US. Will be 2 to 3 months till they get this figured out and fill orders outstanding.

THanks billy. I was looking for using the stock ring with the pin cable. I saw someone do that with using this. So onto progress..... Last night I did a trial fit of the head intake and turbo so I could lay out the intercooler piping. Got all cut and ready but I am waiting on 1 coupler and 1 90 degree. Then removed everything and decided to reclean everything. Cleaned the block all the gasket surfaces. Now final assembly,,,,, Installed the cylinder head and set cam timing then the spring tensioner. Ran out of time and have to get some sleep, driving to Wilminton Delaware in the morning! I will be back by Monday early. I have left the list of things for dad to get done if he has time. weld drain bung in oil pan and paint finish brake lines weld blow off valve Finish the fuel lines, install fuel pump and purge tank install battery in the rear hatch remove the rear suspension and diff from the Z remove the rear suspension from the ZX much more than this.....

Waiting on the additional piping (1 90 degree) and 3 couplers. Did get the oil pan off today. Will get the oil drain for the turbo put in this week. Also picked a place for the blow off valve (passenger side just inside the radiator bulk head). I am struggling with getting the 240sx throttle body linkage to work. I thought I saw a post on how to alter the throttle. Can't find in the search. The guy had a ton of washers. Anyone seen this?
