I have updated a little ... again changing things when I think more about it in place rather than setting it all out first.

I have lengthened (or freed up) wires so far for the engine ECU and the igniter

Engine ECU going under passenger seat (this is where Nissan mount it in many cars including the EXA)
Igniter going on passenger side strut tower
Auto ECU going on passenger side firewall between heater and windscreen wiper

so with 20:20 hindsight I would set all the wiring out and eliminate the redundant plugs/wires and shorten the loom to fit nicely.... I love 20:20 hindsight

ive seen them mounted in behind the inner kick panel, seen pretty easy to get at,
wondering weather to put wiring loom hole behind the engine or over past the wiper motor,
not that keen in cutting to length the loom to fit under the seat,
i'm guessing the igniter would generate a bit of heat, il mount that in the bay

any fella's have pics of finished jobs on there computer location.....thanks

thanks, see what your gotta look forward to.... if i had the chance again id wouldn't do a full restro...bloody lot work, what i should of done was looked around for a half decent 240 or 260Z, THROW A BIG BLOCK IN.. but im happy in what ive done so far, il see this one through
you do see lots of build's that never get finish...shame!

rotisserie yeah i made mine pretty easy to make, the calipers for memory are Girlock its been awhile since i cut'n'polish them up (ground the name off),

The 240 is a nice rig hey... i love the 1600 an the 1200 utes the best, i just got rid of my 1600 with a ca 18 an had another stock 1600 aswell and had another 1200 ute with the 4agze that was fun !

I have 120y struts an calipers on my 1200 an was going to go with a stanza strut / brake combo an r31 on the rears.

I was flicking through the forum today and finally came across the same build im doin with photos an im pumped LOL any way i seen you were using the 120y struts an r31 on the rears so i think you might have changed my mind !! are you still running the stock size rotors ? and do you know what max size wheels you can run ? 15x6.5 i would be happy with 17x7 would look good but then $$ jump up.

I do have photos of my build their all just body work tho im doing a full haul an repalacing every panel on the car except for the roof, ute bed and maybe the bonnet !! ive just done the floor pans an tranns tunnel and rust repairs

I dont think my builds photos are that exciting yet !!! LOL was stoked to see yours tho i can't wait to get in primer an move onto the next stage !

Cheers

sounds like you have had a few toy's....so you should have plenty experience lol,

im running 14x6.5 & 7's all round 65 rear and 60 front profile tires, my opinion 15's i think that's enough, mine are 94 Mitsubishi Galant change the offset on mine by knocking out the center's to suit my style,

i see and hear fellas run 17's but with mod's to the panels, it must ride like a billy cart, rough as gusts!!
some things look great but not always practicable, so do your home work....you have plenty time

If you can tell me what colours the wires are then I might be able to track it down

also exactly where it comes out of the loom.

Otherwise you could trace it yourself in the elec section of the S13 manual - lots around ... look on the silvia site
