  1. Made some progress today. I install the warning light from the knock sensor in the vacant accessory hole of the center ventilation panel. Here is the knock sensor controller. Mounted it under the dash. Mounted the coil pack on the battery tray. Now look at the wiring mess. I have wired the tach, power to fuel pump relay from ecu, 12v ignition on relayed to ecu, knock sensor, 02 sensor and 12v hot to the injectors. I am wiring for function for now. Once the car is up and running I will redo them neatly. Man there are a lot of grounds to run.
  2. I have been procrastinating a lot. Got a new job and hopefully will be paying attention. I have decided to put the Megasquirt computer behind the passenger seat. Run the wires under the carpet to the passenger firewall back into the engine compartment. What I have done is removed the dash to fix the cracks. Also I am putting the AEM gauges in the dash. I am taking out the clock and putting the Air/Fuel gauge there. I am also putting a new hole in the dash to hold the AEM tru-boost gauge. My process has been cut out the cracked areas. Fill with expanding foam. Cut down. Sand. Fill with body filler. The new hole has been a little more involved. I cut a piece of aluminum into a triangle shape about 4 inches wide. Bent into an arch. I then cut a arched slit in the dash and pushed the sharp edge of the aluminum into the slit. This gives me a form to attach the spray foam onto, shape and then cover in body filler. Plan is to primer the finished product then paint with bedliner paint.
  3. I was thinking of keeping my Z32 MAF but have decided to go without. Mine seemed to work good on the Z31 ecu that I had. I will keep and may do maf/map loading for checking my tune variances. Great work.
  4. I have the factory harness for the distributor with the round mail/female plug. I was going to use that and then connect the wires via soldering them in and using the resistors at the coupler. The wires I have coming out of the harness side after the 280zxt factory connector are. Black/white, Black, Green/black and Green/yellow. Given that black is ground. I know that Black/white is 12v power to distributor. I can then pull distributor out and spin it to see which wire gives crank or cam signals. Supposedly the cam will give more signals or faster than the crank. But I think the Green/yellow is the crank which leads to the Green/black as the cam. Dang I need to get started on this.
  5. I have the DIY CAS wheel. I know that there are 2 signals that come out of the distributor. The green/white is the signal. Do I use the other as well with the DIY CAS?
  6. Will not use the boost control for now. E-fans on separate own relay for now. No cam sensor. Forgot the O2 sensor though. Also have power for the ps3pro to hook up. Good Idea for future reference and yes don't want it totally hidden for future usage.
  7. Holiday's and no work for the last 2 weeks has put a hold on the Z. Enjoying my driver though. I will hopefully get onto the MS3PRO soon. My dad will help and he has worked everyday but Xmas and New Years for the past 3 weeks. Plans are to remove the dash. Fix the cracks. I am going to put the AEM a/f gauge in the clock hole. I have decided to make another gauge hole between the tach and temp gauge. This will be formed just like the stock holes, hopefully it will look the same. Will take some time. I will put the AEM tru-boost gauge there. I will be fixing the heater control valve at the same time, it leaks. Replace the air duct hoses that are cracked. I will also be planning the reinstallation of the a/c. It does get hot here in Florida. Figure while I have the car down can handle all these issues at once. I will be deciding where to place the MS3PRO then. Without the dash I should be able to find a place for it under the dash. Figuring that there are a lot more wires in the harness than I will be using , best place to hide is in the car. Wires from ecu.... 1 wire for fuel pump 1 wire for crank signal 1 wire for AIT 1 wire for 3 bar map 6 wires for injetors 6 wires for coils 12 ground wires 1 wire for coolant tem 1 wire for cylinder head temp 1 wire for knock sensor I think thats it. There are alot more wires than that in the harness.
  8. Welcome, family project fun. Sorry for the loss, glad you are keeping his wishes in the car. This addiction is hard to wane, so good luck.
  9. Well I found a 92 Nissan Sentra SE-R in Atlanta. Went and got it. Had to fix the door latch and replace the a/c compressor. Running great!! So decided to paint the rims with plasti-dip and put coil overs. Thanks dad for the new suspension! Tried this combo... Did not like that so painted the whole wheel.
  10. Ho HO Ho....... Hope all are enjoying family. I am working on my megasquirt!! HEHEHEHe
  11. I have one on ebay right now....I will pm you
  12. The instructions say up to 176 degrees f. i do not have a battery so it will be place on the inner fender wall in the battery tray. The unit actually monitors the internal temperature. The big deal about the MS3 pro is that they made it for extreme conditions. I laid it out last night putting it there. I will look tonight about putting it inside as well If i can put it up under the dash somewhere.
  13. Great... I should have looked for that. cgsheen is the man. He has helped me alot.
  14. Have a 82 distributor. The picture is of the harness coming from the distributor after the 4 plug connector. So in the grey shielded cover are Green with white tracer, Black, Black with white tracer, Solid Green. Outside the shielded cover is a yellow and a white. Only thing in the fsm is about a white and the yellow that is suppose to go to thermal switches. But those are in a different wire harness. I would assume that the Black w/white tracer is power if so what voltage? 12v or a reduced voltage? Black ground. Leaves the green w/white tracer and solid green. One is the hal optical sensor. Any help appreciated.
  15. Good thing its the pro. So I am mounting the ecu part and spark items where the battler used to be. Will make for real short wires. An advice would be appreciated.
  16. Its arrived,, time to get the soldering gun and butt connectors.
  17. Pulled the trigger. Went with MS3Pro, GM 3 Bar, Ign 6 coil pack, GM IAT, 54 mm optical wheel,quad spark 4 channel ignition. Went overboard but will be able to do all that I want with the car, even if I swith motors... RB, VQ, V8
  18. Here are my 3rd set of wheels I have used... Z32 300ZX n/a wheels stay tuned to new set coming for the holiday's.
