Jeff did some work on my ls1 240sx and its pure amazing. He is the only one i would trust with a full Mill spec harness his work is just the best there is. He also has wired alot of the Formula Drift cars.

Dont know if i can post this link. But Jeff helps out alot of people over on zilvia he has actually walked me through wiring issues over the phone and email.

All credit for the cage goes to Justin Pawlak, maybe you can talk him into flyin' out.

Interior and engine bay paint done! Came out very nice. I'll be keeping the exterior silver for now since it had been recently painted when I bought the roller. I like the color combo... reminds me of a shark!

It's good to see you bounced back from that accident motivated for another start.

Awesome build. I can't wait to see it all finished up.

Good luck!

Thanks for following my build guys. You know, I can just drop in my old set-up and hit the track again sooner than later but I decided I want to take the extra time and dump the extra cash to do it right the first time.

I'll be selling off a lot of my existing stuff for a nifty Haltech/Racepak IQ3 dash/logger set up. That'll allow a lot of things to be consolidated. Now I can ditch Power FC and commander, stock engine harness, FJO injector driver, stock coils and HKS twin power, Greddy Profec S boost controller, stock gauges plus 3 Defi gauges. That's a lot of ****.

Any body have feedback on PDM's? I'm eyeing the Racepak's Speedwire system which would compliment the IQ3 dash/logger and Haltech set up pretty well... kinda pricey but if you take into consideration the cash for a standard system, it's really not that far off.

Useless place, I paid them a deposit and sent my harness down at the end of april expecting a 2 week turnaround. Here we are 3 frustrating months later and my incomplete harness is on its way back to me. Save the hassle and have someone else do it

Holy crap. Definitely one of the cleanest I've seen. The cage looks phenomenal. What kinds of suspension mods are you looking into for the rx7? Really interested

Yeah thanks, Justin Pawlak did a great job with this cage. V- mount is Rotary Extreme Chuck used to sell... I just pushed it to the driver side as much as possible and fabbed the pipes.

I'll be running either a custom Penske or Ohlins suspension.

Looking great!! Fabrication and detail work is excellent. It's a ton of work taking them down that far, but ultimately worth it.

Are you planning on pump level power or cranking it up with meth or C16?

Thanks! I'm planning on keeping it simple with VP 110 leaded race gas found at the track pump and pre-compressor mechanical water injection as an extra safety margin. I'm also thinking about playin' around with E85 in the future, depending on availability.
