The car sat without a hood for 6 years and only a car cover. I’m also considering the Z32 maf got damaged because it will read 13.5 then go to 10.5

Good info, one would think the lack of spark but still having fuel would make it go rich. Car has nistune but I’m not convinced the ecu isn’t damaged from sitting for 6 years out in the elements from condensation. We get a lot of rain here.

Will be getting that s13 subframe swap this July.

Funny how life happens and projects get the back burner and then the fire gets lit. I now have a Cast forward Facing plenum and lq9 coil packs. I got the car to fire but it ran terribly. Would idle around 13.5 afr then go to 11.5-10.5 and choke. Swapped around coils and even got some known working ones off a friends r32 which seemed to help but I wasn’t convinced the igniter wasn’t bad or Ecu was the issue. Since I’m running all aftermarket parts figured spark upgrade was needed. I also found a mess with how the shop build by the original owner of the swap had made of the harness and wiring. I wish we had skylines in junk yards here because the loom may need replacing.

Left to right: Afr gauge, blower motor switch , Choke cable to actuate coolant valve and digi volt meter.

Dash is back in, cluster hooked up and water temp and oil pressure located in the dash. Also wiped the dirt off that's been collecting on the windscreen the last 3.5 years.

Hvac ducting finished. Time to get the dash in and finish gauge wiring. It's getting close!

Also wired up the efan to an oem Nissan relay in my relay box and uses a coolant switch as well as an override into the cabin.

Ok so heater core box was junked infavor of a new design. Still using the z32 core.

I promise the digit dash will live on in memory haha I was having issues with it anyway. Got some fresh paint on the belt cover and cam covers

Been busy work work, finally got some time to work on the z.

Had a An-6 feed line made up and the Aem uego showed up yesterday.

The hvac system in the z31 uses an absurd amount of vacuum lines to do climate control and since my chassis is non turbo model I do not have a vacuum pump nor so I exhibit any desire to install one.

I have also been working on my heater which includes reusing the oem blower motor but fabbing a new air to water chamber utilizing a z32 heater core because of its cost being $50 compared to the $135 for a z31 unit.

Let's see now, since my last update I have configured my iacv and aacv hose from my new intercooler piling. I trimmed my bumper to clear the piping as well as the radiator hose.
