drowning in broken cars Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 80datsun, what did you use for a radiator? I dont think I can make the 210 one work, as the bottom outlet is on the opposite side, so I was looking at ebay civic radiators as theyre cheap and appear to have the ideal inlet/outlet.

80datson Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 80datsun, what did you use for a radiator? I dont think I can make the 210 one work, as the bottom outlet is on the opposite side, so I was looking at ebay civic radiators as theyre cheap and appear to have the ideal inlet/outlet. it was from a 98' jetta 2.0 non turbo. all aluminum crossflow ^_^ keeps it cold on hot ass days also has a hole for temp switch so yi can hook up ur electric fans to that. i will double check the year but am sure its 98 Quote Link to comment
drowning in broken cars Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 So, 80Datsun, I have a few questions as you just did the wiring and Its not my strong suit. Mostly about the stock 240sx fuse box and simplifying it. how much of that did you use, Im assuming you need to use it as it has the alt fuse and some other things but dont need the egi relay among other things. Also have a couple questions about the can am power box as you just did that too and it may be fresh in your mind. thanks Josh Quote Link to comment
80datson Posted August 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 the cam am box is pretty much yrr fuse and relay box don't need a 240 fuse box if Yu have the. cam am. what's ur question? Quote Link to comment
drowning in broken cars Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Oh, i was wondering how the alt was fused and about the starter stuff but Ive searched a bit and found that I use the existing datsun alt and starter wiring etc. So thats my question basically answered. do you have to change the stock datsun alt fuse or anything? (not sure what amp alt the stock datsun alt is vs the ka one) also I was wondering if I can use the stock datsun oil press and coolant temp wires to the ka sensors or if the a14 sensors fit to make the oil light and temp guage work. also, the can am box has 20 amp fuses but the diagram shows 15, did you switch these out or leave the 20s.... shouldnt matter either way but.... finally, Why does the can am diagram say check for power during cranking at te old coil wire? I was gonig to delete this as I did many things from the old harness? thanks, sorry to bombard you and Im sure Il have more questions so bear with me. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted August 2, 2012 Report Share Posted August 2, 2012 Alternators are not fused. Only the voltage regulator is, and you can use the stock Datsun wiring for that. You need ignition power during cranking -- with any engine. On a stock early Datsun, it comes through a different wire than the RUN wire. With newer ignition switches it is different - so check! Most likely you will need it. Quote Link to comment

jeremyd72 Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 How are you getting the 210 speedo and gauges to work with the ka24? Quote Link to comment
CWhip Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 The gauges aren't that hard to get working. The stock alt wiring can be used on the KA alt so that's super easy pretty much plug and play. The temp gauge, all you do is find the temp wire in the KA harness and connect it to the stock one. The speedo on the other hand is the PITA!! I did a search on here and got a few answers. This is one reason why the old classifieds were way better than the new system http://community.ratsun.net/topic/10901-280zx-speed-sensor/ So I set out looking for the speedo gear drive out of a zx or 720 pu with the correct offset. Came across this website so I ordered one from http://www.datsunstore.com/ Not 2 days later I found a 84 720 4x4 in a jy and pulled the unit out of it just to have both. Well the teeth on the drive gear for both the z and 720 are smaller than the KA unit, so they don't mesh inside the tranny and don't work. What I ended up doing was demolishing the stock KA electric unit to pull the gear drive out of it. Slotted a key way in it for the speedo cable and used the gear housing out of the 720. Works great! And I've checked my speed via gps and it's tits! Quote Link to comment
jeremyd72 Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 Ok. Sound easy enough. Good to here about gutting both to make it work. Never would have thought of that. Quote Link to comment
80datson Posted May 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 How are you getting the 210 speedo and gauges to work with the ka24? Im using s13 ka tranna speedo, its cable style I belive, also I can use my stock speedo too aswell both works Quote Link to comment
Davec Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 if it is an s13 then it will be an electronic speedo Quote Link to comment
