Last night

-
Only Ghostface can rap over a ringing telephone lol.




Anyway last night for me wasn't as adventurous as my mans. I was downstairs to check my ecu for codes, of course it's throwing code 43 why wouldn't it be. Car idles like shit, and I can't seem to figure out why. The wiring is good (although I spent more time trying to remember where I was supposed to plug in my multimeter cables lol)

(43 is for tps) Ever since I got the car dyno tuned and my timing correct somehow my tps took a shit. No bueno, I reset the codes on the ecu and pulled the tps plug to check the wiring. I didn't really get any voltage on the signal wire (dur), I got 5v from the tps sender, and my ground is good.

Put the car into the on position, plug in tps. pipe in the multimeter on the 5v channel and the signal wire and try to move the tps around. voltage is all over the place .17v, .55v. I think even at one time I got like .145v and it just kept counting upwards.

I'm almost sure now that the stupid tps took a shit, there is no way that wiring has a short in it. I will try a spare tps sensor before ripping the harness apart again to run some wire. My boy Jeff is hella busy with Formula D teams right now so I really am not trying to inandate him with my little bullshit issues.

I'm a big boy, I built this harness first, Jeff perfected it, and I really don't think it's the culprit. I'll report back this weekend on my findings.

Wiring an S13 SR20DET up for an S14 (95-98)

If you've come here then you have decided to undertake the task of wiring up an s13sr20det motor for use in a 1995-1998 240sx. This isn't the end all guide or going to go over problem free for you if it's your first time wiring up an engine. But it will get you set on the right path. - Wayne Tips before you get started on buying stuff. make sure you only use adhesive heat shrink. Just so happens a strand of h/s I bought wasn't adhesive and the solder ended up corroding causing shorts/issues. I had to cut open the whole harness and replace all of the heat shrink to be sure.  Extra runs of wiring aren't really necessary to do this, you can use wires from your ka24de harness that are already color matched and the same gauge.  The s13sr20det harness can have about 3-4 inches removed from it behind the firewall (in car) but don't make any cuts until you know everything works, then shorten as desired.  If you break a plug/connector (use your brain a

Introduction  Hello,  So you wanna install one of these. I'll try to be the voice of reason in 2022 and tell you it's probably not even worth it. 10-15 years ago, heck yeah go for it.  But if you're insistent like myself, I'll give you all of the tools needed to get the job done.  It's been a while since I've installed this. 12 years in fact. I've contemplated making youtube videos but to be honest I am ungodly lazy. This blog post at this point is more of a diary for me as well as a how-to because if I ever have to troubleshoot this crap again I know that I've unnecessarily over-documented this install for the final time.  I will say that, I originally followed the write up here:  chuonthis s14 dcc write-up  I don't want to plagiarize and flat out copy the write up, but I'm going to stage the information very similarly.  I have it available in PDF format and have uploaded it here in case their website ever goes down. I recommend saving that.  O

Almost there!

Just gonna do a random photodump and just chat about some things. Embedding some you tube shorts as well. I previously mentioned how I was going to upgrade to hid's and led corner lights and turn signals. But I also wanted to black everything out, light output at night shouldn't be affected. May be a bit harder to see things during the day but I'm not too worried about it. The oem stuff was already pretty hard to see during the day anyway as shown in the example below.  So here is the final result of the headlight and corner light tint, I still have my old oem signal markers in. I was waiting to pick up my led ones from paint as there just was no way I was going to be able to wrap them. Going to try and retain the ability to plug in oem stuff rather than discarding the wiring for strictly led items in case I need to replace anything with off the shelf parts.  This is the oem connector for the corner lights, I have my chassis harness sleeved and loomed in the engine bay and
