And the brake brackets just sold out over the weekend. The next batch will be in next week though. And the website is finally up, and a Facebook page that has frequent updates.

Well that's a relief cause I bought the race version mainly cause my car wasn't a choice but I'm sure glad that worked out that way... I looked it over after reading this thread and all colors and pins seem to match up against a factory harness just wish they used factory wiring colors to simplify it but thanks for the heads up.

Then you've not been looking very hard; there are quite a lot of reviews about his harnesses being complete crap and when they try to return to get it corrected, they never respond or downright refuse they received it. I hope it works out for you, but usually the case is you only get quality service from him if you're gonna be featured in a magazine.

never feels good to buy something and then expect it to be bad. I guess the name recognition from the honda days sold me on it.

Not to thread jack but Beejis is right, they have a terrible reputation for their wiring harness on other 240sx related forums.

Cant wait to see the beast after this weekend!!!!!

He's probably trying to figure out why it wont start, which is probably the chase bays harness, give it a month or 2 he'll find the problem or give up and get another harness.

Never too late to make the right call and go Wiring Specialties if that's the case

Hey guys!!! Sorry I haven't updated in a while, I did end up going with wiring specialties and haven't looked back. Works perfectly. The car was painted but I never ended up putting the body on because I was waiting to dyno tune it first.

Well I got it on the dyno and at idle and just putting around it does fine, but as soon as it starts making power it's having crazy crazy blow by issues. Like oil on the windshield bad. It's literally gushing out if the valve cover breathers.

Now I did a compression test and it's 190 across the board, so then I tried a leak down yes and that's a 5% drop across all 8 cylinders. So I'm lost guys, any ideas?

You may need to change the pcv routing. I would use an LS6 valley cover to pull crankcase pressures out versus the valve covers. Far less oil will get into the intake. It may or may not fix your issue.

The valley cover connects directly to the intake behind the throttle body and the fresh air vent off of the passenger side valve cover to the top of the throttle body? Drivers side valve cover is blocked off? And you still have a blow-by issue?

Yup I have the valley cover running to the port behind the throttle body and both valve covers have breathers on them. I'm stumped.... Starting to think the cylinder walls might be glazed over because leak down and compression are good at low rpms but the blow by doesn't happen until it's making power.

I have that problem on mine, rings cut for nitrous, I've added a catch can and still it pushes the dipstick out the hole, I'm taking the heads off and might close the gap on the rings and use less nitrous or add a vacuum pump system
