Thanks, with any luck it will be running by the end of the week. Depends on how much time I spend down town at the Grand Prix.

Oil-pump and clutch should be in by friday.

Thanks, its getting pretty close to being a running car again. Just a few more weeks.

Yeah they are RT615's and they suck for launches/drag racing., but grip the road pretty well in corners. Soft compound / stiff sidewalls. You might be able to get them to hook up if you drop the pressure a fair amount but thats not what they are designed for.

Wire harness mock up. I still have to put most of it back together and finish routing it but this is to give the general Idea. I'm going for a factory look. The zipties are just temp holding solution. It will look alot more clean when I finish it. The left side is going to be tucked behind and underneath the driveside headlight pan then curve up and run along the upper frame rail and tie back into the factoy location. Luckily I have enough length that it wont hang and I have some harness clips to actually bolt it to the frame so it wont sag and I'll never have to worry about the tire rubbing on it.



The fuse box is getting bolted directly to the back of the headlight pan as well. And will sit exactly where the battery used to. I had thought about relocating the fuse box to inside the car under the dash, but I decided its not worth the effort and I like the ease of access I have to it. So the more simple the better IMO.


Yes I know I have an S13 radiator, but right now I dont really care.

My passenger side headlight bracket is fucked up. So eventually I need to get a new one.

You can buy a new core support from nissan. I dont remember how much they are though. Or get an S15 core support from phase2motortrend. IIRC they are the same.
