WIRES AH!

After my Snow Leopard upgrade to this computer, pretty much everything I have development related is broken. Quicklookd crashes every time it tries to generate a thumbnail, developer tools only partially work, and I have no web development environment right now. I have been slowly trying to fix what I can, but I have reached a point where I’m going to just reinstall Snow Leopard and dual boot Windows 7 Ultimate on this Macbook Pro.

So out of frustration with my computing system, I have again induced myself into the madness that is automotive wiring. Below is the entire engine bay harness, upper and lower SR20DET harness, and ECU for my S13. I am doing a full wiretuck on this car. So everything that isn’t needed has been removed and the fuse boxes are getting relocated to the glove box. Here’s few pics of the madness:
(Hand for scale)
Wires!
Here is what I have removed off of the engine bay harness so far. I depinned 10 wires from the SMJ, removed 4-5 plugs, and over 15 wires.
Lightweight!

My dad also finally decided to teach me to weld. It’s taken 4 years of rudely reminding him..
Welds
I still need more practice haha.

Tony’s Snowy SoCal!

So my Socali friend Tony sent me this pic the other day. Definitely pretty cool. I’m sure the roads just shut down completely with this much snow in Socal. :)

New Pet Project Launched!

In my spare time at school, I have started browsing Zilvia.com. Recently, a few locals realized that there was a severe lack in the area of 240sx related message boards based around the car, not drifting. So to put a long story short, I started one. Click the link:
