USAF

The engine is now bolted in with the stock cross member unmodified.
I built new mounts that bolt to the engine instead of changing the cross member.
I will post more picks later

Chris

The engine is now bolted into its new home. I had to make a small bulge in the tranny tunnel to fit the starter but it will all fit now with hardly and mods to the chassis.

i want it because it'll be hilarious. i WILL NOT be fapping to marge simpson. probably not. ok maybe, depends on the pics

It is not a major problem but the notch in the plate for the starter was not made big enough so i will have to ream it out a bit. Just a heads for who ever has one from the group buy.

I may have the plate drawn up in CAD and find out how much it will cost me to make these. Prices for aluminum are not that bad here in Canada and the exchange would make it even cheaper for those paying in USD.

actually no, i got it from my friend marcos.

Also with the Z32 shifter you can knock out the stoppers that hold the pivot ball in place and and move it up then put a few tacks to hold it in place and you now have a short shifter.

I will have to find the sight that has all that info on it.

UPDATE

I finished the wireing this week end, the VH harness is now a direct plug-in to the 240 chassis harness.

I had a few issues though. I bought a harness and igniters as well as some intake runners of a guy here on NICO (popup I think), I told him that i needed 94 stuff but he sent me pre 94 stuff except the ECU, I think that is a 94.

I did not nitice that there was a difference in the harnesses and everything sat around for 5mnths while I was waiting for the plate. Now I realize that the harness is completely different, all the plugs are diferent and there are a few things missing, alos the igniters are different and the pre 94 dont even fit onto the coil pack cover.

Luckily when I bought the engine there were parts of a cut harness on it, I should be able to rewire the pre 94 with the 94 plugs.

I aslo pulled the engine and tranny back out of the car and put it onto my home made start stand where i will test th wireing and attempt to run the engine before I begin any mods. I decided to try out the starter and see how the gears meshed withe adapter plate and spacer.
To my dissapointment the thing made such a noise it was not funny. I may just be mine but I am going to have to shime the starter or something.
I will look into this more tonight.

Thanks for the offer though.

Chris

thats sort a pic of what youre looking at.

good luck getting all the crap, I'm glad mine came with it all.

This is very exciting for me. I thought i was haveiong a heart attack my heart was pounding so hard.

I only ran it for a very short period of time because I did not have a rad hooked up.

I should have a short video posted within the hour.

This is the first time I have run this engine and it is runing on the 240sx chassia harness.

DISCLAIMER: I take no responsibility in any damage/harm/death/missing limbs that may result from following the above advice.

And yeah, plenty of backfires for me too, seeing as we'd duct taped the AFM on :p

The video of it running is awesome...sounds BEAUTIFUL. I could listen to that all day long.

Definitely looking forward to your future updates.

Update

My turbo's arived last week so I have put the engine back in the car so I can build the turbo manifolds. This is going to be one of the more difficult parts of the build. Even though I am a pipe fitter and welder by trade it has proven to be dificult thus far. I have a pic of the left bank manifold but it is just an idea of what I might do, after the pic it came apart again.

Oh yes the turbo's are GT3076's

The turbo is in the location were it will be mounted, it still needs to be clocked but it will sit as it is in the pic. Same goes for the other side.

The problem I am haveing with the manifold is aranging the pipes in a way to meet up with the collector. I only spent a few hours on it and i was limited by the materials I had. I will havew a go at it again on the week end.
