OK gang, the new pics I promised.
I'll just cut right to the chase......
The wiring harness has been finalized. All wires taped up and routed where they need to go. Compare these two pics to the ones from earlier.
A pic of the wires from the drivers side of the engine bay. Notice I haven't installed the wiring harness to bulkhead ruber cover....thats because this harness is 3 times as big as the stock 240sx harness. Im having to use the 350Z one, not on there yet.
A pic of the ECM stashed away in the stock 240 location. Yeap, its tight, but it fits. Notice the M72 connector (white) just infront of the BCM. That houses much of the wires the F3 connector holds on an S14. Maybe this would be easier in that car????
You are looking from the floorboard, up into where the glovebox goes. That black box cramed in there is the BCM (Body Control Module). The BCM houses the remote control system, the NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System) and all the body functions (door locks, windows, auto lights, Tire Pressure Monitor System, Interior lights, etc.). It is secured in the dash, just below the passenger side vent. If you open the passenger door and touch the dash normally hidden when the door closes, that is the part it is attached to.
All tucked it, glove box in and....wait, whats that? Yeap, that's the DLC connector poking out from the side of the console.
Remember that messy shifter situation? All done.
A side view of the shifter. Bone stock eh?
Consult II pics!!! This is the begining screen when Consult is hooked to your vehicle. It shows a subsystem selection (ENGINE) or START (NISSAN BASED VEHICLE). This is what I am selecting. If I touch ENGINE, it will only call up the ECM, but if I select this, it will bring up any computer with CAN lines in the car. The selection below this START (X-BADGE VEHICLE) is for Renault....a european function we do not use here in the states. Yeap, Nissan owns them too.
System Call once again.
And there it is, the two operating systems in the car. ENGINE (ECM), and BCM. Notice the DLC connection from the Consult II connected to the DLC in the console. Perfect fit!
Look close enough and you can see some of the systems the BCM controls. Multi Remote Control Entrance is one of them. If I installed the Remote Antenna to this car, it could use factory remotes. Which means with an auto hatch release, that could be controlled too. Maybe in the future.
Vehicle Configuration. I can set up this BCM to work with the model years 03 thru 06.
DTC results from the BCM.....ugghhh. CAN COMM CIR is for the systems missing (Unified Meter...or gauges, not hooked up) and VEHICLE SPEED SIG ERR (no speed signal because the 350Z uses the ABS system to generate a speed signal, not a speed sensor in the trans....cause there isn't one).
More systems the BCM controls. Notice the Tire Pressure Monitor System....yeap, if I wanted to, I could install that antenna as well and put pressure sensors in the wheels. For you racing guys, this is a wonderfull tool.
A look at what the sensors show on the consult. They show 0.00 psi now because they are not installed or initialized.
The white connector down there that isnt hooked up. That goes to the NATS antenna amp. A ring with a transmitter that goes around the ignition cylander. Once that is in place, all I have to do is program that new key you see above and crank this baby up!!! The little yellow bulb is the Security light, I have to install this to the dash. I just added it cause it was simple.
Hope you like this stuff guys. Later gang!
