Alrighty guys. im looking to get ready to do a RB26DETT swap to an old 72 240Z and one of the things im trying to figure out is the wiring. i saw that someone has put a guide on hybrid but unfortunately i wasn't able to see the pictures they had. i was wondering if anyone on here has any information on this. thanks to all that can help.

Only info I can suggest is that wiring specialties makes a conversion harness for the datsuns. Are you still running a factory chassis harness? What specifically are you stumped on with the wiring for it? The ECU only requires a couple things in order to fire, so depending on your situation it could be a relatively easy fix in order to get this thing going.

Getting the engine to fire won't be the issue. Even if I used a wiring harness from wiring specialties I noticed that it doesn't look like it will have the connection for the account compressor. That is what I'm trying to figure out.

If you're talking about the AC compressor, then that should be part of the chassis harness. You should be able to wire it up independently and go from there.
