Had the first start today! Its gotten a little messy along the way so clean up and wire routing is next. I have a few minor kinks to work out but to have it run was exciting. I did end up removing the NATS system and did the wiring myself. I still have the parts for the security that I would like to make functioning in the future. Until next time!

So it looks like I post once a year in this thread... I got the car running how it should, the ecu I was using was no good. I sourced a new one after awhile of searching and everything was fine after that. I always felt comfortable in my wiring skills and after many hours of tracing what 'could' be all signs always pointed to the ECU being bad. Now that I had a properly running car I took a few test run down the street and such. It really is BEAST! I sorted out a few more details and then recently took it out for the first shake down. It went so smooth it was stupid. The major problem was the steering u-joint but found it was a quick fix...each time haha. Yes the steering locked more that once but found something to improvise until a proper fix can be figured out. Id love to answer any questions about it swap. One thing you will need is some meat. My 205 tires could hold it down so I did swap to 5 lug with OEM Nissan parts and added some Yoshihara Champion 18x9 +15 wheels up front and some 18x10 +15 in the rear. I have 225's up front and 245's in the rear. Here are some photos for who want to see the results and some of my future plans as well. The car will be running full Parts Shop Max suspension, currently waiting to get the pro coilovers in stock and I will also be running their new forded knuckles!!! They look so good! All of this will be dialed in by MSI motorsports who is local to me. Please post comments and questions!
