Even if I was to sell mine for 150 and buy something, it would still be about twice as much as having mine modified. Really tight on funds right now, otherwise I might just do that lol!

Only problem is going to be the turnaround time on getting it back. I don't know **** about wiring, and I'm sure I could try and do something myself, but knowing me I would do something wrong and I definitely don't have the time right now. So I'll just kick back and wait for it to be done.

Me too! I should be sending it off tomorrow.

totally understand. im in the same boat. i can do minor wiring but when i see people with open harnesses modifying them looking like a birds nest, it scares me lol. i have a buddy who build custom harnesses for (mainly) hondas but he has done a couple LS swaps in a couple 240sx's too so i may give him a call. who knows. im a little ways away before then lol
I got the harness sent off today, so now we wait. There's a few minor little things we can do to the car in the meantime, but I'll definitely be anxious to get it back.

Haven't had any updates for a little while. Been waiting on the wiring harness to get finished, and then once that's installed it will be towed over to my tuner.
I was told the harness should be finished within the next few days.
In the meantime, we got the 3 bar map sensor installed.
Also while we're waiting, we're swapping out all of the regular rubber vacuum lines and catch can lines with nylon air brake tubing. The lines will be cleaner looking, and won't collapse with vacuum and wont burst because of the psi rating.
Here are some photos of the new fittings going on in preparation of the lines.
Since the harness should be here soon, I should have more updates to go along with it.

Granted I hate waiting for something this long as I'm impatient, but at the same time it will be nice that the weather is starting to cool off some before I get the car running. 100+ degree weather with no AC is not going to be fun LOL!

But once the harness is back in our possession, it's just a matter of routing everything and hooking it all up. Theoretically after that it should be good to go to the tuner so that he can fire it up and get it driving!
There's still a lot I want to do to the car, but I'm going to wait until it's running first and so that I can save up some cash. I have a Wolfe 6 point that still needs to go in, and then next on my list of mods is a transbrake from Jake's, boost leash controller w/ co2, and 2 step.

+1 for the nylon tubing but -1 for the quick connects. They tend to leak almost always so if you can switch em all to the type with the ferrule you will be much better off.

Harness is being shipped back today! That took long enough...can't wait to get it in. Besides getting that installed, and making sure everything else is all buttoned up and ready to go, it's off to the tuner for the first startup!
