Are you trying to do some Jackie Chan Cannonball Run police evasion?

My buddy used to have a rhd Fairlady. He had one of those plastic toy reach extenders with the claw on the end in his car for going through drive thrus.

CA is a special case. It's extremely expensive to import a car into this state. They are one of the few (if not the only) states that require special laboratory emissions testing to register an imported car. You have to recreate the federal EPA testing standards for a new vehicle for the year of...

After quintuple checking all my diagrams, I finished up the last harness for the swap: Just kidding. This harness runs from the last one, through the dash, and over to the integration module and DLC connector. Plus a few other doo dads I added. Finally the wiring is done! Pro tip - Don't...

I have dozens of wiring schematics and connector pinouts I made which I'll post up once this thing is running and I verify everything is working. Here's the progress so far. Made my integration harness which plugs into the LS wiring on one end, and connects to the FJ at the other end on IH1 and...

Thank you! It's good to get tips from a couple guys in the know.

The relay coils only pull 12.5mA and the bulbs are about .1A each. The latching relay states 5mA. I couldn't find specs on the tach adapter. I assumed I had enough overhead to drive the tach adapter and signals. I guess we'll find out. Hopefully I don't beat your 30 second benchmark LOL. My...

Thanks for the tips! There are definitely a few things I would have done differently if I had to do it again (who knows, maybe it will burn up and I will have to LOL) I used .5mm traces for the power and ground busses. .254mm for all signals and bulb outputs. I figured that should be enough to...

Next I needed to fit the fuel tank pressure sensor. I could have just teed the charcoal canister hose and ran a hose the sensor, but that's janky. I cut the sensor hole from the top of the GM fuel pump, and drilled a larger hole on top of the fuel pump hanger. Then I welded the GM piece onto...

Next up was tackling the fuel pump and sending unit. The LS ECU will need to have proper fuel level readings to run and pass the EVAP tests. The FJ fuel gauge sending unit works opposite of the GM unit. I thought I could convert it using an op amp circuit. I know nothing about op amps. I learned...

After all that, I decided I didn’t want a bunch of black boxes hanging under the dash. A tach adapter, a shift indicator adapter, and a cruise control adapter. I would combine them all into one unit. But that would still leave me with 1 black box hanging under the dash. What to do. Then I had an...

After a long hiatus, I am finally getting some progress done again. Unfortunately work, life, and medical stuff put this project on hold. Now that things are in order, and after some subtle (and not so subtle) comments from the GF, it’s time to get this thing finished up. The next step in the...

You should ask for whatever you want. They're making interior parts and such for Supras, so there's no reason they can't make them for the 80.

This is some really good info! Thanks for putting this together. If you don't mind, I made some modifications to your design. The green lines are solder jumpers. This configuration allows only the relays in the currently used circuit to be energized, instead of multiple unused relays being...

Glad you got it working. Sounds like you probably had some corrosion on the terminals and the plugs were making bad contact. If it happens again I would start by cleaning the terminals on the AC amplifier and the connectors.
