Default working past the can bus system?

So basically was wondering if there or what is the way getting passed the can bus system when doing a swap and want to retain factory controls like ac?
Just seeing if some one can enlighten me , thanks

My AC was retained using the factory control **** and push button on/off swith ... iirc, my tuner installed his own switch into the trigger button to engage the compressor. The stand alone computer is running the the fans and idle.

I may be the only 350Z with the LS swap running AC. I know there was at least 1 G35 with the swap running AC.

What about blower speed and heat? And as for the gauges between the Speedo and tach I was going to go with the oem look speed hut gauges as for the car temp gauge, would there be a way for this to still function? Btw this is for a 2jzgte swap.

From everything I've read you have to replace the Tach with the speedhut one. To keep a/c you have to to wire in a switch to active the compressor unless you utilize the 350z compressor the the switch is not needed. the fan speed and the rest of the gauges will work if you hook the oem sensors into your swapped engine.

Can you elaborate on which sensors I can keep and maybe how I would incorporate the Nissan stood with Toyota stuff? Thanks brother

You would have to keep the oil pressure sensor, water temp sensor, and the sensor for alternator output. For example the nissan water temp sensor on a ls engine can be put into one of the heads and the ls temp sensor can be put in the other head.

The ipdm runs off the can bus, so your fans, lights, windshield wipers etc. would all need to be rewired. That's if you wanna do away with can completely.
