So I brought my car toget tuned finally and here's where it stands. Chasebays harness is ****ed up again. O2 sensors were wired backwards. Ecu bank 1 was actually reading bank 2. So had to repin the harness to fix that. Now the charging system dosent work. Alt was tested and works fine but it's not charging the battery while driving. Sadly left my tuner on the side of the road with a dead brand new battery. Does anyone have any ideas of where to start with this issue?

Well other then that. I just called them and they say that theirs 4 wires that go to the alt now. I have one, which I thought was fine. There's lots of 1 wire hook ups that work just fine.

Well after replacing the alternator and then frying another one, we found out that chasebays harness dosent have a in line resister for the one wire hookup. So now I'm trying to get some money back out of them. This last bill was big to fix that stupid harness... Issues so far.
Main power plug pinned wrong
Fuel, ignition, and can reply wired wrong
TPS wired backwards
Wrong coil pack plugs
O2 sensors pinned wrong in the ecu plug, bank 1 and 2 swapped
And now alternator wire needs 470 ohm resister to not fry voltage reg in alternator.
This sucks because the harness LOOKS great an tucks away super clean but if it dosent ****ing work it's not good..... Chasebays.com so far has been a bad choice for a harness

That's how it goes but the car will be worth it when it's done!

Just finished the rear subframe and suspension last weekend. Removed the oem saddle tank. Also swapped diff bushings to solid.

Waiting on JDM steering rack for RHD conversion.

Just about to order mock up block for all of the prototyping.

I really wanted to do a RHD conversion but I couldn't find anything to do it. It's not like a 240 that you just look up online and order a front clip. I haven't had any luck finding anything at all. I did get the Trans apart and found out nothing major broke. I shredded a bearing though. So everything has to come out and get cleaned and put back together. Hopefully will get it in the car this weekend again. I want more videos!

If you guys want, look up Turbo ls1 350z for some quick videos of the car when it ran.

Yeah my interior is very spartan. Just a few gauges and no dash. So I ordered a steering rack from Japan. Also running a tilton pedal box attached to the cage.
