KAZU Posted August 9, 2010 Author Share Posted August 9, 2010 Great work. Very inventive. I wonder where you get all these different parts from cars? Do you have a wrecking yard? You might miss where I am located now. I got them from auctions.yahoo.co.jp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZU Posted August 14, 2010 Author Share Posted August 14, 2010 I bought used ThinkPad X61 for ECU setting and configuring the dash logger but I couldn't make connection with logger. So I dug an old mini PC which I bought for in-car use and have been using at office until the VGA connector dislocated from the M/B. Soldering such fine pattern was quite challengeable for me but succeeded. Display panel is 7.1" real XGA (1024 x 768). Good news is the battery voltage can directly be supplied to both PC and Display. Bad news is no room for audio. I will put some switches and I/O of PC between the display and HVAC panel. This setup enables me to type keyboard on my lap. Note PC cannot be used in such way. Mercedes louvers cannot be there because the 240z interior is narrower. There will be round shaped louvers instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZU Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 Very intensive work! What part of Japan do you live? I am located in the second city to be subject to nuclear attack. And you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahraini240z Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 That's one hell of a build! Good luck mate... Keep us updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZU Posted August 29, 2010 Author Share Posted August 29, 2010 (edited) Making the bulkhead to isolate the fuel system. Side panels are steel and top/front part will be aluminium. PC display is too small for my half-century-old eyeballs. So I decided to fabricate a display enclosure to be hung anywhere I can read the small font. HVAC control will be relocated top of the center panel and an audio unit will be loaded in the lower opening.

HybridThis Posted September 11, 2010 Share Posted September 11, 2010 You are amazingly crafty. I can't believe the collection of parts you've thrown at this thing and making it all work together... impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJTOUGE Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 You guys have a lot of S30's rolling around up there in Mainland, I rarely see S30's here in Okinawa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZU Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 You guys have a lot of S30's rolling around up there in Mainland, I rarely see S30's here in Okinawa. The funny thing is that I am not a good buyer of S30's. I found my car when I was located in NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZU Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Engine compartment wiring has done. Essentially no stock loom remained. The car has only 3 filament bulbs, two H4 headlights and a battery charge lamp. New thicker Griffin Scirocco radiator. I got a new A/F sensor of LC-1 but still no voltage. Ordered a new set. Even if with the new LC-1, I'm tired of tuning with an old DTA ecu. I'll replace it with dependable Link G4Xtreme (red) with KnockBlock.

Snailed Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Great build! How wide is the hub to hub measurement on that rear suspension assembly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZU Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 How wide is the hub to hub measurement on that rear suspension assembly? I didn't measure the dimension. At least two inches in each side may be added. Update. There was difficulty in dialing the NVCS cam timing teeth wheel because the fixing screws are put from the backside. I was planning to modify it but I found a better solution. Trust Greddy cam wheel for RB25NVCS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
