78 B210 build/KA swap
I've been trying to get to this for a while now. . .let the fun begin
Started with the simple *****. Cleaned up the engine bay and prepped the crossmember to fab up some new mounts. Not bad for 2 hours. Should be able to shoehorn it in tomorrow and get something mocked up. After i get mounts made i'll take the KA back out, do up the engine bay, clean up and paint motor as well as give it a decent overhaul. Best use of down time durring job searching ever. . .

Haha. . ooooh Zdriver. . .i loved this place. Now i feel old and fuddy duddy with no time or motivation to use the internets like i used to so the updates have all but stopped. . .
As for the B210. .
Moved the workspace to a different location for the Z, B and the Charger.
Engine/tranny installed
wiring is taking forever and being a biiiootttcchh.
Just a little pictoral update. . .
Towed the B to the new spot via little old beat up truck
new home
engine installed
My new friend, Bhalu. Helps keep away the baddies at the shop and gives me peace of mind that the toys are somewhat safer. Canine citizen award pending. He's a G.

ok i remember seeing this on ratsun i think now...you have a link to a build page....im daily driving my b210 right now (with a few mods) but instead of spending 4-500 on a bigger modified A14...im just going to go ka....T lol so im looking for others that have done it (in the states) and that is a huge pain in the ***.
What i think i am going to do is completely strip a 240sx of its wiring harness and all and just run the stock stuff and hack in the b210 lights etc, or ill go standalone and keep the b210 light harness and all and just run the standalone for the motor, but by far wiring seems like the biggest pain in the *** for these cars....but i might just get the Hopped up Aseries and rock it untill i can get the KA completely sorted and then as a back up....but that extra 75-50 hp on a stock KA is sooo much more appealing.

Thanks for the reference, Shady. I was able to close in on the key components, based on the diagram, and now i just need to clarify a few things. From the relay setup they have going, i tap in to the harness without completely cuting it and splice in to the B210 harness? Or is there another method? They give the diagram but not a clear method on how to get it setup. .
