Car: 350Z LS1 swap

Post

Hey Guys,

I just picked up a 2003 350Z with an LS1 swap.

I have a few issues I want to resolve:

1. The remote central locking does not appear to work.

When I press the unlock button the car doesn't unlock (the indicators do not flash either).

I have replaced the batteries on both FOB's and have tried to re-program them to the car but the attempts did not work.

Can anyone suggest what I could do to try diagnose what in particular isn't working in the remote system.

2. The swap came without A/C however I have read it is possible.

If I purchase a 350Z compressor + a custom bracket to mount to the LS1 motor as well as getting custom tubing created - what other issues will need to be address to get aircon installed?

3. The RPM gauge was never hooked up or is just not working - is this possible to wire up or is an aftermarket gauge required?

Thanks for your replies guys it will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ryan

Engine swaps in modern cars are bit more complicated. One the 350Z you have the BCM and the NATs to contend wiht. I suspect whoever did the swap skipped over a bit fo the needed wiring.
