Set timing on the Z after replacing the oil gallery gaskets and discovered a nasty surprise that I'm not sure how it got there, but there's a small crack in the rear timing chain cover on one of the bolt holes directly above the thermostat housing. Did the best i could for now to prevent the crank from spreading until i can get it taken care of, she's back up and running, but it made it a bittersweet ending to the weekend

I purchased the car two weeks ago, 1-owner w/ 17,000 miles. I have completed the following projects so far:
- Window tint - Morimoto XB Headlights - Morimoto XB Tail Lights - Swift Spec-R Springs - SPL Titanium Traction Links - SPC Camber Arms - Z1 15mm spacers all around - Z1 Carbon Fiber Cold Air Intake - GT-R Start with Red Start Button Surround - GT-R Clear Map Lights - Morimoto LED License Plate Lights - Diode Dynamic LEDs all around - AAM Competition Resonated Short Tails - A few other misc. things I'm waiting on the AAM HFC's to arrive.

I appreciate the comments. I didn't do much to my '12 Nismo and regretted it, so this project car has already been more enjoyable.

I still need to get my software re-flashed so it can pass. For now, I just make extra sure not to speed when I drive the car. Once I get the Ethanol sensor wired in, i think I'll just schedule time with my tuner to dyno it and do the software changes all at once. |

Winding Road was backed up for the next week, so I went ahead and did all the work myself. The only problem I had was with the retaining clip that holds the fuel line against the chassis. I got frustrated and just used the dremel on it. Got the new sensor, fuel port, and gauge all installed and wired up to the haltech. Now i have verification that the local station with E85 sucks. I'm reading 51% ethanol -_-
A bonus is that the GM fuel sensor also has a temperature output. So I connected that as well. |

I did some homework reading through the BCM portion of the FSM and figured out where I need to tap lines for the signal indicators and high beam alert for the Haltech. It looks like i can just use an add-a-fuse for the high beam signal, and I can use the direct lines going into the BCM for the Turn signals. The fuel gauge line is connected to the existing instrument cluster so I will have to tap that separately. As far as mounting/relocating the standard dash, I still have to figure that out, but I'm willing to do a radio delete if it gives me extra room.
