Thanks for all the kind words guys!!

So here is the update after a long time of wait,

So pretty much a couple of weeks ago I wanted to pack up and just sell the car off. It got to that point in the road that I just wanted to give up on the build.
The swap is just giving me a headache. It will not start
After checking every thing it still won't start up
It will turn over for days and try but just wont oil vroom....
So I decided to just brainstorm and figure it out and went back to what I knew after rewrapping my mind into this project

It has to be one of three things,
Fuel
Spark
Engine management.

I know I'm getting fuel
My pump is priming and running strong, but for good measure I'm going replace the fuel filter because it is old and I get them for 10$ from pep boys

Second is engine management,
I dropped my ECU a while back so I knew that it could possibly be bad,
So I bought a new one. Didn't solve the problem exactly but at least I know that it is not the issue.

Last is spark,
I tried a new ignitor and nothing,
The spark plugs are new but I'm going to replace them just in case, I'm hoping its not the coil packs but if needed ill replace them too.
Ill be checking a few grounds also making sure I have enough and ill also be checking my crank sensor.

All in all I've decided to not give up and keep at it so here is the long over do update....

So first off here is this



Seems like just the air bag chamber but nooo




Its where I have my fuse box!!!



After that ive decided to redo my cluster again
I don't want a radio anymore so yea haha



I also permanently mounted my battery wire



I also make these nice O ish handles out of paracord, if you want me to make you one message me




Update on the coupe

we were having some slight bogging issues so I changed the filter since its never been changed, and it fixed the issue
I also upgraded to the 300zx filter since its bigger



my girlfriend wanted an exhaust bad
especially since hers was ghetto rigged with some flex pipe so we changed it out with a Isis dual tip from the dudes at enjukuracing
I love living right down the street from them and knowing a good amount of dudes there.
If you ever need parts go to them!

Here is a pic of the exhaust incase you live under a rock





That's all for now

The issue was more than I could describe, but ill try.

Coil packs had 12v on both Power and Ground.
Wasnt getting a good ground to the ecu.
Wasnt getting a proper pulse at the injectors.
To sum it up. The Chase Bays harness was crap and everything had to be re-wired.

But thanks man!

Honestly. Nothing, for a stock situation.
For my situation, im running larger fuel lines and a fuel cell. I just want to make sure that everything gets filtered effectively and I dont run into any issues.

For the coupe though, (I no longer own this by the way)
It was more because it's around the same cost as a 13 one and again, reassurance. Larger filter with more flow and more filtration. There really isn't any benefits too it for a stock situation.

and the kit actually fit pretty well. It did need a little bit of modification (a few spots needed to be sanded down some more) but I got the kit for free so I didnt mind the slight modifications needed.HUGE SHOUT OUT TO EXTREME DIMENSIONS FOR THE KIT!
__________________________________________________ _______________________________


Haven't Updated in awhile so here is a small one.


1-piece Aluminum Driveshaft from Shaft Masters,
sucker weighs almost nothing!!! love it. Definitely a quality piece.
I was going to get one made with my old driveshafts, but for the price to get one made with old worn parts vs the price for new parts and a quality made product done time and time again I went this route instead and Im glad I did. To know that it's brand new is reassuring and to have the extra U joints and yolk at the house in case something happens is also a +.

&
This happened yesterday,
Such a awesome feeling to see this finally come. Been way to long. I also need to update the first page with the list of parts that have been added on.

(I highly recommend a Speedy Bleeder for the slave cylinder though. Took 5 minutes to bleed by myself when I was trying for an Hour with a friend earlier)

Thanks for all the feedback and Ill continue to stop in here and update.
