Duffy's 1/71 Series 1 240z build

[duffymahoney]

I got a Datsun 2.2 resistor to go in line.  I can use the negative on the coils or a digital out from the haltech, still stuff to figure out.

I found a mil spec wiring harness that is within 1mm of what I was planning.  Plus it looks amazing.  I bought one, hopefully it plugs right in.

So getting a vac log/ map signal has proved very hard with my manifold.  

So I am going to attempt to re tap my BSPT threads to NPT (I have had great success with it actually) Then use these.

So the runners will all have a 1/8 NPT by 1/8 Hose barb T.  That way I can connect to a map sensor and also the FPR.  

 

Then on the runner with 1/4 NPT, I will use the 1/4 NPT by 1/8 hose barb T, then tap (or soldier) the top flat section to 1/8 NPT by 3/8 Hose barb (3/8 will go to the brake booster).  Then I have nice braided vacuum hoses to make the balance tube/ vac log.  Should look good and solve all my issues.

Super happy with how the ITBs look.

Made a tiny stainless bracket for my air temp sensor. I cut it a little close. But it works great.

I have a 100 micron pre and 10 post filter. I made some mounts for them. But I’m having issues fitting both. I might just got cheap clear 100 micron inline filter.

Finally happy with a vacuum log. Just need to finish the booster fitting. I think it looks vintage enough but should still work well.

Looks great.

Wow, you do nice work! Going to be a very nice setup!

Well I looked into the Jeep. I found a nos Jeep unit and vapor blasted my pedestal. 

 

I will take it to my machine shop on Tuesday. I will have it matched to the stock spline and I will use the stock shaft bushing. 

I see you found the thread . I just cut and notched my shaft carefully with a cut off wheel. Curious what year sensor you bought and what you got for the connector. Believe it or not I never finished what I started . One main reason is I was having difficulty finding the correct wiring harness connector . I ordered one and it wasn’t quite shaped the same way. Got sidetracked and never finished the install. Car ran well with batch fire for now. 

Definitely takes up less room!

Connector was bought direct from Jeep.  The whole CAS sensor is brand new from jeep, I think it's a 1994 or something.

I got my platinum racing r35 harness installed on my r35 coils. Pretty happy with how it looks. I might shorten the last 3 wires an 1/8th of an inch.
