Looking to make a wiring harness up for my s14a, I have the 350z diff and speed sensors but I need to find the male plug that fits into it and becomes part of the body harness.

I can't remember if the workshop manual gives the plug types so you can order from nissan/ebay.

If not and anyone is dismantling a 350z and doesn't mind crawling under the rear to cut the plug off that would be great (preferably with a bit of wire I can solder to.)

Hopefully this will allow me to have a speedo in the car rather than having to use gps device.

Thanks.

Made some -6 An fuel lines and mounted my filter, might make a shield to protect it some more,(used my new heavy duty garden shears for this and only this lol)

cleaned and torqued the flywheel and twin plate clutch,

Tried to swap the heater hoses at the firewall and bought a hose kit which had every hose under the sun, (bar those ones) started to fit them and realized i would need to take off the inlet manifold... then clean it... and remove the old injectors after their screws rounded. Got nismo 555cc to go in.

The oil and water line kit for the turbo is a bit long, wish I had made my own, but I think ive managed to route it of so it wont grind off stuff.

Also I can now wire my stereo for hand controls which will be cool. air bags were plug and play, panic set in when american youtube video showed different connections.

changed my steering wheel for a 370z one, as you can see it didn't like the cold/damp winter under the car cover then the really hot weather at the start of the month.

Had to rip everything out for a clean.

Might redo the headliner now I know how to remove it.

Tried a test gravity run down a hill, brake works and locks the rear but the steering is awful. Track width was too close so wanted to tip.

Had to cut and mount the suspension arms further out, also lowers the car which makes it look cooler lol. (however I will need to getto chop the spring in the rear to lower it.)

extended the rear arm to try and get the chain not to hit anything and for the wheels to be in the right location of the body (most pictures are missing the final welds and only tacked in).

Garrett don't make it easy to rotate the exhaust housing. neither is removing the old exhaust studs.

wire wheeled the underside, worst job ever.

Used hammerite anti rust, then zink primer x2 coats then waxoil.

350z brembos needed the geomasters drilled out to accept the larger bolt.

Also braum seat will fit a 5'10" driver and no one else lol, my head is going to be below the roll cage and in a good position for me, however the missus might struggle as it wont go much further forward and it can't move back due to the roll over bar.

Didn't want to use rubber grommet for the air con delete so welded the holes (near the downpipe so a bit hot for rubber)

Mocking up a removable harness bar. Tried to put mounts under the rear seat arch but the fuel tank hits them so no go.

Battery kill switch/added security under driver seat. Runs to the relocated fusebox in the dash.

Couldn't get new fuel straps and 370z ones dont fit lol, probably going to run a old seatbelt as a precautionary 3rd back up in case the welds and back up tabs brake.

350z diff lined up well, by complete fluke I think.

Been a while, trying to upload on the forum this time. 

Done a lot, made a lot. I will let the pictures tell the words.

I own a 200sx s14a and 350z, unless I crash them or someone burns my garage down I won't sell either. Too much still to do to them and not enough time. Maybe when I am 80 they might be finished and I might get bored and want a swap. But I suppose I don't drive either so they could be pants for all I know.

Putting the car together so gave the new floor panels a lick of eBay paint, quite happy with the colour match, just need to learn to paint=turn the air pressure up a bit next time.

My predictions are;

Boris in, Brexit his way, Ireland becoming one after many firebombs and shootings, Scotland fu# off and get stuck in limbo trying to get back in the EU on the same setup they had before.

Feel like I am talking myself into indy ref2 lol, when I would have prefered things to have stayed the same before brexit trashed everything. (fingers crossed for the lib dems kiss and make up with europe.)

I live in the west coast, people die young, kids grow up poor (missus is a teacher and 1 in 3 sounds optimistic, probably a lot worse than that.)

At the same time I am fortunate enough to work in one of the large businesses in the area and know the tax revenue the government must make is huge.

I am quite happy and glad to pay more in tax than someone doing the same job south of the border if the money can be spent locally to improve people’s lives.

This is a reason we can spend more on public services;

Scotland

£12,500 to £14,549 19%

£14,549 to £24,944 20%

£24,944 to £43,430 21%

£43,430 to £150,000 41%

£150,000 46%

Rest of UK
£11,850 and £46,350 - 20%

£46,351 and £150,000 - 40%

£150,001 - 45% income tax

The median, or typical, gross salary in Scotland for all employees as of April 2017 was £23,150. This is just below the UK wide figure of £23,474. Broken down by region, it remains the highest outside London and the south-east - but is still lower than the overall England figure.

**(Attmitally this last info was taken from the Scotsman newspaper so like everything you read, it may be complete boll~*cks.)

I am in the Lib dem court but due to the complete SH#@* mess we are in and the little airtime/chance they have to become front runners I have to vote tactically ...... in Scotland..... even if I don't want their end game. *just now* (If borris gets a majority then I am all for independance.)

drivers hole welded up,

This has evolved so much more than i expected already

yeah but its one step forward two backwards lol. Hopefully if the wife lets me I will get the new engine mount fitted which should be simple enough to cut off the rotten frame and weld onto the better one then I will have a set location where I need to line the sprockets up and go from there.

The shock on the rotten frame is stiffer but not in great shape, toyed with a twin in line setup but it will add weight which I dont want.

Compression isn't great, 100psi but the spark plug hole is tiny and my tester isn't designed for it so its probably a tad higher.

main thing is the starter works and it has some.

who knows if this is right but it was too tight to begin with so I slackened off the intake side a tad as the exhaust side seemed better.

made a mess changing the oil too.

As per usual i end up trawling facebook market place for scrap. Picked this up for £35.

a 90cc 4 stroke quad with a non running engine. 

Good points; suspension is better twin arm design and will sit better in the ferrari body with more flush wheels.

engine doesn't have any holes in the block and uses an electric starter.

hydro brakes front wheels and one big one at back.

Bad points; frame is dead, rust everywhere and the wiring is a mess.

need to make new mount points.

hopefully just the stator is dead(from the looks of it) waiting for a battery so I can test the starter and check compression.

ferraris are mid engine'd lol wont work at the front sadly due to the horizontal angle and its going to be a pain to run that length of chain.

the main downside is the rear suspension needs totally re done as the drive sproket is now on the other side and will hit everything.
