Default 300zx z32 ls6/t56 swap

I think I've come far enough to make the post worth it I guess.. 1990 300zx, wth an ls6 from a first gen Cts-V. Standalone harness, headers and sheetmetal intake. I got the car running, but now having bullshit little problems, the ones you don't notice until it's running.

But most importantly, I hate wiring, and I have no clue about the 300zx cluster. I can't find any schematics on the cluster and I'm having trouble getting the gauges to work.

hoping some previous 300zx ls swappers will chime in.
Also, I think my starter sounds weak, because I have a draw so I need to look where it's coming from.

Preppin for paint


Painted! Nothing crazy, its not a show car lol

This is where im at today, ecu and fusebox is located by the firewall passenger inside that black box i made. Trying to keep the engine bay clean. Dont mind the red wires, those were temporary. Intake sits infront of the passenger wheel.

Nice to see another LS swapped 300zx. What ecu are you on? I've got a Z31 300zx.

Have you considered just using all aftermarket gauges? And that’s one hell of a build, don’t think I’ve ever heard of an LS in a Z32 before.

Check with Sikky Conversions. They MIGHT have a way to interface the car gauges with LS senders, or use Nissan senders.

It came with my standalone, not sure what year it's from, never really looked into it.

I brought it up to owner of the car, but I still he wants to keep the stock cluster, if it were my personal car then for sure I'd go all aftermarkey retro fitted into the stock cluster.
