Also got some new parts today.

- 350z clutch slave
- New Gates upper/lower radiator hoses
- Additional WG springs. The one I have in there right now is a 7psi I believe. These are a 10 and a 5, so with all 3 in there my base pressure should be 22psi. Figured that's a good base pressure, will use the MBC to turn it up to 30-35.

Got the WG springs installed. I bought the wrong combo so I could only get 2 in there. So I have the 10psi and the 5psi in there. So 15psi base for now. I'll get a different 3rd one eventually because I want a higher base spring pressure than that.

Got the shifter linkage cut down, and big thanks to Momin for welding it up for me! I got that back installed, along with that new shifter base bracket. Got my preliminary hole cut in the tunnel. Shifter looks like it will be near where the ash tray is. would like to modify the shifter if possible. Also installed the new clutch slave cylinder.

Got more of the motor put together. I have a lot of things just finger tight for now for fitting everything together. But pretty good progress. Hopefully get a little more done tomorrow and then I head outta town for a couple weeks so she will just sit.

Got a little done today. Big thanks to Joel for picking up a -10AN fitting from MAP from my drain line. I decided to try Earl's youtube method of cutting the SS Braided Line (using a chisel). Worked like a charm!

So got the new drain line done and installed. Bolted the turbo down but need to find some safety wire to wire the bolts up. Got the radiator and shroud installed. Found I broke off one of the soldered wires (must have happened while pulling the engine) so re-soldered that. Ran the harness back into the inside of the car. Continued just hooking things up as I came across them.







Couple questions, in case by some random chance anyone here knows.

Where does this wire go? Obviously it hooks to the negative of the batter, but no idea where the other end goes.


Also anybody know what this is supposed to plug into? I have it labeled as intake manifold, but I don't see anywhere for it to go. Maybe it went to the EGR stuff I removed?

^^^ that might be the VSV for the egr valve. Just a guess as it has the same plug as any VSV does.

More progress I see!

Its coming together better each time I check the thread out. I think I have found my new way of cutting AN lines.

Thanks for the help. So sounds like the plug is for the EGR which is gone, so no longer used. And I'll bolt that battery cable to the block.

Thanks!

anxious to see how this is coming as of today

No updates. I'm in Charlotte for a couple weeks for work.

I've read this thread from beginning to end twice now, mainly because we have twin cars, you're a huge inspiration man. Keep it up, I think I'm more anxious than you to see how it all comes together.

Very nice project.

That looks like 1 end goes to the battery, and the opposite with the far end goes to the starter and the near end goes to the side of the engine.

Trans mount for this swap from Collins. A 240sx rubber mount that goes along with this bracket needs to be purchased separately.



Tunnel cut more for shifter.



Also purchased a set of 97 sideskirts, and also a 97 rear bumper. Going to decide which I like better (97 rear bumper or Rideskinz rear lip) once I mount them, and sell the one I like less.

At this point I'm pretty much just waiting for the 240sx mount to arrive, and waiting for the drive shaft from Collins. Once I have that stuff, time to start it up and see if it goes anywhere.
