the Q45 is simple and there is a write up in the CA forums, I would think there is one in the SR forum too but idk.

what is throwing you off about the Efans? are you wiring them to be full on? or attached to a temp sensor?

Dang man nice update. Either your credit card companies love you, or yourself or someone else loves you a lot!

I will try to get you in touch with the Q45 ignitor chip wiring. If not, I have it wired into my harness in the garage so I can just look @ it for ya.

I really should be studying lol

Well this is my first swap, so wiring is a little intimidating. I think I want them so its attatched to the temp sensor, I wouldnt think having them on all the time would have too many advantages..

My first credit card gave me a $4500 limit lol so Im using that til I get this beast running and sell my GTP which will pay off my debt

Thanks for the help didderson, very much appreciated!

I was making a build thread instead of looking for that q45 doc, thanks stripes! I re-downloaded lol> into the external harddrive 240sx folder. My pc organization skills ftw!

Well I admire your plans to pay off the credit. It's a good idea, but I just hope you can sell your car for the amount you wish. I'm sure you can though.I bought my SR on credit, and the necessities to get it running (bov maf ic etc) with my savings, so I know how it is. I needed my car as a daily too at the time.It was easy to pay off the 0% within 6 months, I had 0 for a whole year lol. As long as you get it down before they can bone you with a higher rate man it's all good.

I think I have 6 months or a year so I should be fine, and Ive said before GOD FORBID I cant sell my car I will be making about $5k in my jobs [which are secure lol] that I can use to pay it off as well but thats my back up plan. I want to build good credit too-coils & suspension parts will be paid up front though.

Im picking up all the hoses etc hopefully tomorrow since I have no work til 230 Ill hook those suckers up & let you know!

Realistically I probably will get the engine & bay fully prepped this weekend and triple check everything and drop it in during the week or maybe next friday. I wanna make sure everything is copesetic before I jump into it!

Thanks for the comments guys its really keepin me motivated

nice update

Ive never heard of that radiator brand before. where did you buy it?i Just bought a Mishimoto with fan shroud and fans from ebay. It looks very similar to yours. I got the radiator for $210 shipped and the shroud and fans for $185 shipped.

Did you pay $230 for everything? If so, thats a good deal

Keep up the good work man
