I like the place where the Sony headunit is. How did you wire it?

bigTom

i had most of the dash area apart to wire up all the guages and radio... so once u take out the radio and cd player from their stock locations... all u have to do is drop the wires for the radio down to the bottom... its just drops down

Type R

yup that is nice as hell how you did the head unit.

XSSIVE

Whats up Tom, you may not remember me (Mike) but i met you ate Ultima and we were talking about DPA and my car club (tech-9-tuning) and about my friend in the white EX with N2O wanting to race you when you had the 4dr GSR....anyway...what did you do to Johns old car (i'm scared)? What happened? please give me the low down on whats goin on with it...since i'm new around this site and don't know if you posted anything in the past.

bigTom

whats up... i remember meeting you but i cant put a face to it... anyway... yea the motor went on a while ago... it was making a loud ticking noise so i took the head off... ends up that the clip that holds the wristpin in place fell off and fucked the piston up and scarred the cylinder wall... so basically i trashed the block... i gave the block to a friend of mine and sold the whole turbo setup... (except the intercooler) it should be on the road soon... i have a brand new built block, original gsr head and a whole new turbo setup... it should be running soon... i cant wait to get it back... while the motor was out though i redid a few things around and in the car... painted the wheels black, put some more guages in a differant spot, repainted the engine bay... etc... it should be fun... i just the stock hood yesterday and a steering wheel,,, and i think i may leave the lip off for a while... keep it like a sleeper... hopefully

about the blue headlights... yea yea yea... i know... im just too lazy to buy some stock bulbs... i dont want to spend money on it

What the hell happed to the engine harness? Did you let Ceas get to it ? If you are doing a swap, get the EX harness and you'll be all set.....

quikrpm'z

how much is the engine build costing?

bigTom

im cutting up the harness... taking apart everything that isnt needed... the whole car is wired up using a gsr harness btw... only wires i have left from the orginal harness is for the driver side... the headlight and blinker and the passenger side i have the headlight/blinker/rad. fan and horn... it does make it much manageable with less wiring... i just had to be careful which wires i cut!

as for how much its costing... TOO MUCH! i have already spent over 5 grand in parts and the motor isnt even together yet!
