hahaha that electrical piece looks like a computer monitor plug
|
except you're wrong :D and its a consult board for datalogging... its a good thing. If you want help or the software for it PM me.
white side goes to consult wiring (or you can hardwire it to any z32, sr, rb ka, ca ecu ;) ) blue side is a Serial (RS232 for you computer nerds) to USB adapter so u can use the *crap* on a computer thats not old as dirt (ie doesnt have serial ol' skoolie*) *edited out bad words* |
you gonna put the rear seat back in? if not want to sell it to me?

i have a doule rs232 to a usb - that way i can connect the consult and innovate at the same time with a single usb.

ok so today we got off front suspension and rear suspension along with front and rear brakes...
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...project074.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...project073.jpg These are the spots that are gonna be welded up and prep so the engine bay can be painted.. http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...project076.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...project077.jpg and heres how the car sits as of today... http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...project079.jpg http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...project078.jpg |
lookin good - are you gonna cut that entire area out where the battery used to go and weld a new peice in? so u can cut a tidy hole for the IC piping :wink:

are those tail lights tinted?
|
yeah - the corners and chuki bumper lights were all blacked out too (i remember that car from a long time ago - with the initialD **** on the door)
*edit* - i see you've already started locating dings as well :) before u put the motor in dont forget to get a solid steering bushing (if that car doesnt have one yet) - that shizzy is a bitch to install with a downpipe and stuff all there. |
update (somewhat)
well didnt really get alot done today due to the fact i had to take care of some things....did manage to get my new exhaust...
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h2...project086.jpg kinda stole it off the wifeys car lol...its a apexi n1 replica....in the picture its still on her car..... alot of update will be up tommorow...stripping out my old hatch and gonna start swapping parts...so stay tuned |

And make sure you cut out all that rust on the strut tower and then patch it well, that area is structural and if you just pass the hole and don't get rid of all the rust and seal it later, it's going to rust out again. And double check the whole car for other weak areas, there's a lot of rust on that chassis, you might as well take care of it now before you put everything back together and it gets worse. And is that exhaust mounted on the car? Or just hanging really low? If it's mounted, then make sure to get new exhaust hangers because that looks horrible. |
ok so some more updates today....we finally got my hatch over to nates house and started going to town and ripping everything out...
