nis720 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 here is a small update. i bought a eprom chip that will take my speed limiter off and raise the rev limiter, a socket, and a consult cable. i already ruined a spare ecu trying to desolder the stock chip. so i will take it to a professional. i also found out that the consult wont work on my 8 bit 240sx ecu, so i have to hunt down a 16 bit stanza ecu. those have consult capabilities. i just need to read live sensor data. in order to find out whats causing my car to run slightly rich. for the moment the stock ecu will do just fine.im just happy that i didnt have any major problems building the car. ive been driving it for a couple of days now, and it drives awesome:D thanks Steve! An Auto ECU does not have that pesky rev limiter (in 4th and 5th gear). Another option to the Stanza ECU is Nistune. It has Consult capability and data logging. With the Stanza ECU you need the cable for the consult plug (I'm guessing you don't have the factory 240sx consult plug on your 510?), with nistune there's a USB port that goes right on the ECU and tunning can be done without having to open up the ECU and changing chips.

philcas1987 Posted October 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 today i installed my msd 6al box and tach adapter. i got a real good deal on it. feels a little better. but not worth the price if i would have bought it retail:D. i got a small gear oil leak in the back of the tranny. i picked up some parts the seal everything up. im going to put this one off a bit just cause im being lazy.

philcas1987 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 not much to update lately. i installed a tornado knock off. in the hopes that it cleans up the air flow so the maf wont be all messed up. also picked up an remote oil filter adapter. im going to build it slowly. its not a priority but its nice not to spill oil all over the x member.

philcas1987 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 not too long ago i gave parking lot drifting a try (i suck at it:(). a couple of things that need attention came up. my diff leaks cause i have no vent. shifter plate or rear tranny seal leak. need to hook up a front sway bar. my fuel filler neck leaks fuel. i took care of these problems exept the filler neck. i have a late 69 so it had the one piece one. i kept the three piece one of my 4 door. so i will be converting it. i ordered the top elbow from nissan in olympia. its a week late:mad:. i also added an ebay catch can. shit works. i must have lots of blow by. i undid the drain, and a bunch of oily crud poured all over my hand and frame rail. 240sx front links work great with my datsport sway bar:D new diff vent new plate gasket, 620 boot,240sx inner boot. catch can ka inside sticker:fu: Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 catch can. shit works. i must have lots of blow by. i undid the drain, and a bunch of oily crud poured all over my hand and frame rail. :lol: i collect about 750ml after 2 tanks of gas, LOTS of moisture too! :blink: well i did... its dead now :mellow: Quote Link to comment

philcas1987 Posted November 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 ive been dealing with fuel smell inside the cabin. my gf really hated to ride in the car. this whole time i thought it was the one piece filler neck. but it was just a vent hose. turns out the one piece filler neck is a nos piece. its beautiful. im going to keep it unless someone offers me a good chunk of change for it. i converted to a three piece neck and replaced everything while i was at it. if it leaks now. im going to be pissed off. that oem filler elbow was spendy.

heirfaus Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 (edited) Dude, I didn't say anything because you said you wanted to use the one piece, but I wish I had known you were doing the 3 piece. I have 3 new top pieces in a box in the attic. They were like 16 bucks each when I bought them, I figured I'd stock up. BTW I replaced that stuff and then eventually found my fuel smell which was a loose clamp on the top connection on my vapor tank :( took about 26 seconds to find with a smoke machine..... BTWW I ordered that same catch can the other day :) Edited November 25, 2009 by heirfaus Quote Link to comment

jesusno2 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 you still got a funky idle with your ka? i pmed you a while ago about it. just wondering if driving it some has helped any? Quote Link to comment
philcas1987 Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 the idle has settled a bit. my tach resistor burned out so no tach signal. ecu code 21 no primary signal. i have one ordered from nissan. the idle settled a bit after i did this. to set the idle i unplugged the tps then the iacv, set the idle rpm using the ilde screw,plugged the iacv in then tps.

nis720 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 This reminds me of when I did my swap.... never ending list of things needed and a very large wishlist of things you want but don't necessarily need. It's looking good and will pay off in the end. Quote Link to comment
