Devil_S30 Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I wanna drive it this weekend. Well I started taking out my dash this will be my 4th time doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmakZ Posted July 4, 2012 Author Share Posted July 4, 2012 Okay, just make sure all your dash wiring is correct. We'll figure out how the dash connects to the car on Saturday. Then you have to help me finish my bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil_S30 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Deals, you know all the dash wiring lines up. Doesn't it? well I will be trying out the Dash and new Harness tomorrow wish me luck! I just need to wire up the Electric fan I have no clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Yay a PNW thread . Let me know what you end up tapping for the fans. I'm thinking I'll just be running a stand alone on mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmakZ Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Yay a PNW thread . Let me know what you end up tapping for the fans. I'm thinking I'll just be running a stand alone on mine. I'm sure I sound like a broken record but I really like the Hayden fan controllers. I've used them on both of my Z's and on several other builds I've worked on. They come with all the required wiring and connectors. You can pick up a Hayden 3647 at Orielle's for $36. They have them behind the counter so you'll have to ask. That's the dry sensor model so the probe just goes in your radiator fins. /shameless plug for a company that isn't paying me You can tap the engine power circuit as it comes off the relay on the firewall for the switched power. I had mine wired differently the first time and it cooked the controller (I'm guessing it had to do with unstable voltages). Switched it to that point and haven't had any problems since. Tapping my power off the starter and grounding it all up front somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'll have to bug you when I get to the wiring point for that. Always good to have an experienced eye. Is your 240 in seattle now? Or is it still back home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is it still back home? Please do, I'm always down to help. My Z is out here now. I had it at Nissan Fest and a few other things. You'll see it around sometime, I'm sure. Austin's Z runs now, BTW.

Devil_S30 Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Yup sure does, oh and I finished hooking up the fan. I just need to clean up the combo switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Very cool, did you guys have the valve seats replaced? Or are you adding fuel treatment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmakZ Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 My valve seats are original and I don't run treatment. I'll replace them if they wear out (though from what I've heard, many people don't run lead or treatment and don't have noticable issues). Probably I'll destroy some other part of the engine first (or just replace the whole thing). After 73 you're supposedly running hardened ones anyway.

OmakZ Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Well, my car got hit on Friday night by someone backing out of a driveway. Now I need a new DS door. And since having an old car with one color of crappy paint is okay but having an old car with multiple colors of paint is trashy, I will be finishing the body work on my z and repainting her sometime this fall. On the bright side, my bagged Volvo is moslty done and driveable now. What a weekend. Edited July 16, 2012 by OmakZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil_S30 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) Does that mean I'll finally be able to lend a hand on something? Oh and pics of said mostly done Volvo Edited July 16, 2012 by Devil_S30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
280zex Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I will 2nd the Hayden fans and controllers. I currently am using 2 different adjustable fan controllers in my z. 1 for the main rad fan and 1 for the fuel line/carb cooling fan. Easy install, set the adjustment and no worries!!

Devil_S30 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I might, if I can finish my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Arg, my doors won't close...installed the weather strip and now I have to slam the crap out of the driver side, and the passenger side looks like it's open when it latches. Anyone have any luck with the precision kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil_S30 Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Same thing is going on with mine. I have the Black dragon kit btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seattlejester Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Yea, I'm about giving up with lining up the body panels. Maybe once the car runs, I'll take it up to the Z shop for them to sort. For now the driver side closes pretty well, the passenger side is fairly hopeless. It latches with a one inch gap and both the window frames are a good half inch from the weather strip on both sides.
