This thread went from alright above average to wow wtf after that long haitus. Do you sell organs or drugs to fund this lol?

Sick car

RastaS14 · 12-19-2012, 05:50 PM

Very proper build. I do like where this is going. Just be sure to post lots of action vids once the motor is in and running! What are the plans for the motor anyway? stock twins with BPU or Big single turbo?

sterlinge · 12-19-2012, 11:52 PM

Thanks guys,
Il be running stock twins for awhile. I will have some badass updates within the next few weeks that everyone will enjoy.
Got some FAL 12" fans and derale controller

DIY fuse box relocation took me about ...Ehh. 10 minutes max and anyone can do it!
Of course you will need to extend a few wires!
(Sarcasm)

Ok for real though I started the fuse box relo job today and there is a reason you see no write ups on it. I'm doing one wire at a time right now I'm almost done with shortening the length between the fuse boxes. I should be finished with this tomorrow if I get some time to work on it.
Starting

Got a few done here

And this is were i called it a night

sterlinge · 12-22-2012, 05:20 PM

I need to extend maybe half of the loose wires and I will be done! With that part anyways..haha
I'm closer to being finished than the pic shows, thought I took one no big deal.

Edwin562 · 12-22-2012, 05:26 PM

clean build dude. keep up the good work.

sterlinge · 12-23-2012, 10:28 AM

Finished with the relo. Leaving it this way till I have the engine harness wired up then Il install the dash again.

sterlinge · 12-30-2012, 12:52 PM

Small update. Went alittle crazy with my budget and bought a racepak iq3 display. I still need to buy a usm for it and a few sensors. I'm going to start mounting up the ic pipes when some couplers show up this week. Il keep you guys updated I should be cruising this soon!

sterlinge · 01-04-2013, 10:28 AM

No pics today just thought i would update. Got the driveshaft on wed and installed it, fit all nice like. I went to test my turn signals after the fuse box relo. They were not working right I beat myself up thinking what it could be while i worked all day thursday. When i got off work I decided to trouble shoot from the basics. I go to check the fuses and they are all fine but i noticed I never tightened the center bolt down for the fuse box harness -_- ... Ok so thats done. I'm going to buy some 240sx harness pigtails so nothing is hardwired and can be removed easily if its needed, Il be starting on that this weekend along with double checking what i have done so far. Il have some actual pics for you guys on monday.

bosoS14russ · 01-09-2013, 08:56 PM

holy shit man clean build, i need to work at the same place as you so i can afford baller ass parts also lol!
