Oh like heat from that..... nah, its not super air tight.....

Just bumping this to the top.... added a bunch more information now that I got most of it installed.... Should have it running in a week or two!

I ended up doing a wire-in with an XtremeX ecu. Mark Panic of Panic-wire built me a new harness. I have the failsafes wired in, DBW, and just all new wiring and connectors to replace the 30 year old stuff.

Works gud!

I?m about to start building the harness for my FuryX for KA/SR. Very hyped.

[slider2828]

Whats the difference between the XtremeX and the FuryX vs the G4X? Any ideas? That would be interesting on why selected.

Looks like more versatile with more inputs, outputs, knock and a better processor?

How can you get a PnP harness?

[e1_griego]

They're all g4x.

Just differences in number of i/o, dbw support, etc.

Dude just checked his site and insta out! Sick whish I knew.... G4X plugin ecu probably good enough most of the time a mild to mid setup, but his harness is sexy man.....

I'll admit that he doesn't love to do Nissan stuff but I've been friends with him long enough that he did me a solid.

Love everything being brand new.

Yeah I saw pretty much Toyota only lol....So not really a super viable option then. I know wiring specialities started carrying link, so I am sure they could put something together.

Found a great video series on setting up the link... Best so far that i've found

Just an update, I got the car running and it runs well. Fuel Pressure at 36.5 with vaccum on. 1050x with HKS 264/272 step 2 cams. It runs so good with no crazy lopey idle like I had to deal with on my Apexi PowerFC.

Here are the things that I could get it running.
R35 Coils from Rockauto, OEM Hitachi Coils.
Master Fuel is 7ms
Trigger Offset is -100
I had to go back to my OEM trigger disc, it was just not reading the DIYAutotune disc....
Next step after I get some things checked is to try an AEM trigger.

Hope this helps people to get their car started and running!

[PoorMans180SX]

Interesting that it's not reading the DIY disk.

I had planned to put a crank trigger on it eventually anyway I guess.

[slider2828]

Yeah it doesnt have the right slot config. Yeah crank trigger and the cam trigger will work but if 1 stop solution, i think the aem one may work but i havent confirmed.

Next step is to wire in the lamda wideband and i am thinking about digital dash.

What do you guys think? And which one?

Linkecu Can Lambda is wired in.... The pdf's you find on the internet from link have great instructions except the pinout part. The bottom one is from the PC Link Software so its a lot more clear. The rest just really follow the instructions and it was able to locate the can lambda

Was fussing with it for days cause the wiring wasn't as clear as the one attached.

After everything is setup you need to enable it.
>analog inputs>lambda1 and check the control is set to Link CAN
