stradacab Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Could use some colour, just a splash of decals to break it up. Not a criticism you understand, the car looks beautiful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantahead1 Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share Posted February 1, 2013 cheers for the good comments. It has nissan 200sx engine and box, on dyno at 300.5bhp. It has corsa electric steering, s class merc front calipers(4 pots) and merc discs, avo front adjustable shocks. Atlas rear axle with group 4 shafts, zf lsd. poly bushed all round. Yep, i agree about the decals, have always been a bit afraid of them, don't know what to put on it, its a bit plain without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mantahead1 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 looks great! what wiring harness did you use? or did you sort out the original one? hi, i used the nissan engine loom but moved the igniter inside to tidy it up, i made the loom for the gauges on the drivers side as all the sensors are on this side. I powered up the engine loom with its own fuse box which is inside with the relays. Running stock ecu with FCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantahead1 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Anyone any ideas for a nice tidy heater box to sit in the shelf? would you use aluminum or carbon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-pat mike Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 i dont suppose you wrote down which wires are used for ign live, switched live etc did you? i have contacted several wiring specialists over here and the usa and they all say i have to send in a stock harness and they redo it to make it standalone, is it that hard? i think my biggest issue will be engine height over the crossmember as i wwould rather not put a bulge in the hood, sorry, bonnet lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

x-pat mike Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 ihave the motor and trans on hold for me until i get all the measurements etc but i am told its the s14 ecu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mantahead1 Posted February 4, 2013 Author Share Posted February 4, 2013 ihave the motor and trans on hold for me until i get all the measurements etc but i am told its the s14 ecu ok, there are a few different ecu pin outs. i got all from a s14 workshop manual that i had on an old computer. I think it was 2008/2009 i wired this. Some of the ecus' had a coded key, so look out for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
