So now that it runs, i got the exhaust done. The only issue is that it seemed to idle super high and was back firing really bad. My buddy brought iver his Tech2 scan tool and found out that it was reading the throttle at 99% open. Did some checking with the wires and found out that they wired the throttle position senser backwards..... So that adds another problem to their list.

Throttle position senser
Main power plug
Fuel pump relay
Fan relay
Ignition relay
Coil pack plugs

Now that i got to drive it i found that sikky shifter problem with poppin out of gears and my 3rd gears shift fork is ****ed.... Did anyine ever figure out a solution to the sikky shifter? Other then selling the sikky and going with a fueled racing kit...

Default 07 350Z with a F2 procharger is running

The ET Tuning 350Z comes to life and ran at VIR for it's first test. It did well with easy lap times coming in at 2.04, over 160 on the straights. A dialed back tune up is producing 700 wheel horsepower on 16 lbs boost. A little work containing the exhaust heat and we will be back out.

how much harder will it be to have a shop swap in an auto transmission with these kits? What problems to deal with?

i have had alot of people ask about the shifter fix. i am the only one to have tried it so i cant gaurantee it will work. the only way is to try. i can have the same thing done to yours but its going to cost you $. and theres no guarantee it will work. also it will void any type of warranty from sikky.

Someone should post a how to with a stand alone harness. Im getting close and was just looking at options for harness. It seems everyone sucks except for a stand alone. The chase bays is nice since its pug and play but not worth the headache. If it doesnt work.

The only thing i can see being a problem with your shifter fix, is that it wont be centered in the counsil. Sikky did say today that when they find a fix they will swap out the old shifters for people. Talked to Rich this morning about it all. Tried returning the kit... Sick of all the issues ive had with them.

Reposting this from where I posted at ls1tech.com

I have a T56 Magnum I've bolted up to a LS2 from a corvette with a ACT twin disc clutch. I bought a brand new CSC when I put it all together and I'm using a pair of stainless steel braided lines from a kit for this swap into a 350z from Sikky Mfg.

When I put all together I check the CSC face to clutch pressure plate and it was slightly off so I added a spacer behind the CSC and remeasured. It was then within spec. I've got it all bolted back up and went to bleed it tonight and it is dumping fluid all over.

What am i missing? This seems like a pretty simple concept but I've beat my head so much I know I'm missing something easy, which will now be hard since it's in the car.

Thanks....

Wiring in a stand alone harness isn't hard

Not possible to make a standalone how to. Each engine management will have different sensors and wire colors. My TEC GT can be wired multiple different ways (full sequential, batch, TBI and even secondary injection). However, when you choose your setup it becomes very straight forward to wire.

The only time that a standalone will be slightly more complicated is if you try using other sensors than the recommend one. On mine for example, I am using the recommended universal mag sensor where the stock LS crank sensor would be. However, I could have used the the stock C6 crank sensor (but not C5) by simply buying the sensor and pigtail connector and wiring a resistor in (critical step some might miss).
