new fuel lines permanently hooked up & P-clamped etc
> Relocated Battery to boot, new 8ga wiring network etc. also new remote fuel relay setup in boot area
with new heavy wiring to both fuel pumps etc (after a small electrical fry up due to under spec wiring!)
> Tidied up wiring & new looms, plastic sleeving over etc
> Fitted up my Raybrig H4 lights, and fixed my stupid damn corroded light switch assembly
> New balanced shortened drive shaft fitted up, diff filled with oil, shifter fitted with new bushes
> purchased bolts & fitted up panhard rod properly & centered up rear end
> Had Rapid Performance bleed / test braking circuit, fix leaks, and complete exhaust system
> Made my own custom spark plug leads & fitted new Coil pack
> Finished sound deadening application t o body (Dynamat with combination mass loaded vinyl layer over)
> brought a few NOS genuine parts in anticipation of final fitout, like rubber grommets, side markers,
front combination lights, armrests, Heater control valve, voltage regulator,
> Assembled all steering components & tightened all bolts, new split pins etc
> re-upholstered my front (S30/260Z) seats & overhauled the mechanical parts


Start up / tuning has been a real hassle, I had a couple of months of no real success, and that brought on a bit of a hyatus of work on the coupe while I sulked! Damn my ITB dreams!! I drove car once up my drive spluttering & misfiring before I stopped work, till I sorted out a few issues!
ECU has been away since end of September getting checked out, upgraded and faulty MAP sensor replaced,
along with adding a bluetooth tuning module to it, I finally got this back last week!

Will get some pic's up when I get a chance


But it lives it last!!!! (needs tuning obviously)

After a few teething problems last week, I have managed to get it running today.
So stoked for it to finally make some music!

My EFI / ITB dream, has taken a huge amount of time & $ to bring to reality.

From seeing a V8 Lexus motor on youtube about 5 years ago, I decided to go
EFI / ITB A series on my coupe. At times I was over it, and was ready to throw it away, but I am glad I have stuck with it. I am pretty proud to finally get it running....

Be interesting to see what sort of HP it is putting out, once it is all tuned and sorted.

It is running in a base tune only, which is very rich. And my default ignition maps will need some work (running wasted spark setup, with coils driven by onboard drivers in the megasquirt ECU)

Here is a youtube link of it making some noise this afternoon:

Here is a link for a quick walk-around

Long overdue update.

Got the Fuel feed system all finished, manifold all welded up.
Megasquirt installed, and wired up, with relays & fuses etc.
Vacuum manifold all plumbed in etc. hooked up basic inputs like
TPS, VR Sensor & injectors etc (O2, temp, and ECU driven spark
will come on line down the track) have done fuel flow tests etc.
Fired it up at weekend, but couldnt get it to run at all.
Played round with some fuel setting before corrupting all my
firmware code I think. so ended up spending a few hours
reflashing the ECU code, and uploading new tuner studio
software and the likes. got it all communicating again, and
it fired up again, before I flattened the battery.

I charged up the battery overnight, and tonight I hooked up
temp exhaust system tonight and got it semi running
(have a few more issues to work through, before i even
attempt to tune)

Start up video below, for those interested.

Want to get it running a bit better, before I
pull the motor and running gear out to get the
engine bay painted.
