  1. All that work is looking pretty solid! Great job on the fuel door stuff. I never even considered you'd need to do that ha.

    With the bumper indent, do you now just grind those welds down? Also, how do you weld al that without warping? Do you just have to do a tiny bit and then come back later over and over?

     

  2. Dang I have always wanted to commute via bike but never been close enough to do it. My drive is 50 minutes of freeway so yeah I'm not about to do that ha. Saving all that money and buying car parts will be so rad! I would love a new Jimny, those things are so sick! Such a bummer they're not in the states. 

    Are you down there to teach at a school I'm assuming?

    This might explain a few of them.

     

    This guide is old and verbose and not great, but could help.

    If you're using the stock ECU, I have a nistune setup if you're wanting to tune it.

     

    You are going down the right track as far as stripping the harness to make things fit...especially if you are converting to the Greddy style manifold. I originally just tapped into wires needed and bundled everything else up, but I got fed up with the mess after a while and did as you said. It was quite the rats nest, but I stripped the harness to whats needed and cut out all the excess.

     

    Some of the big spade plugs were deleted completely once sorted

     

    What gen is your RB25?


    Thanks for sharing that link, that may prove to be super helpful!

    As far as the ECU, it is the stock ECU but I plan on upgrading at some point so no worries.

    And unfortunately I'm not sure. It was pulled from a 240sx and has had all the identifying parts (that I know of) replaced with aftermarket parts. But I figure at that point it doesn't really matter regardless, does it?

    Hey,

     

    I have not checked the forum in a while. Just now seeing your post. Did you get your RB started?

    Unfortunately not yet. I've been focusing on getting a few house projects finished. Moving forward I attached everything I could find a port for and I'll try to start it and just see what codes pop up. I'm thinking they are things that were deleted by the engine's PO but I'll find out for sure at that point. Once I get it narrowed down I plan on marking the unused ports and then rebuilding the harness to fit correctly while also getting rid of any excess plugs.

    Lol engine codes. 

     

    The digi dash is run off the RaceCapture box, which is primarily a datalogger for the car and gets info from the MS3 via CANBUS. The dash itself is a Amazon Fire 7. It was a good solution at the time, but I've been thinking about upgrading to an AIM PDM with a 7" display. The Amazon Fire tablet is a bit dark and hard to see in direct sunlight, but let's be honest, you're not staring at it most of the time. 

     

    The Racecapture software lets you customize the dash pretty thoroughly, so I've got warning screens that will pop up if my oil or coolant temps get too high, or if battery voltage drops (belt gets chucked).

     

    Overall, this was a good budget solution for also integrating more data acquisition into the car. 


    That's great info, that points me in the right direction! So if/when you get the AIM PDM are you just taking out the racecapture? Maybe I'm just not seeing it but it seems like all of AIM's displays are also dataloggers aren't they?
