I'm a typical project horder & never know when to quit. So aswell as having the 200sx major project forum.retro-rides.org/thread/201674/nissan-200sx-complete-rebuild
I then swapped my daily for this old rotary rocket.
It's a 1987 fc3s 13b turbo & despite its appearance it's rust free & the underside is really clean.
The roof is immaculate & fully working which makes a change.
It has a full stainless decat turbo back exhaust, random mixed coilovers & adjustable rear arms.
It was originally an auto.... for some weird reason Mazda thinks an ultimate nippy rocket should have a slush box.
It now has a 5 speed kouki gearbox, upgraded clutch & all new fluids.
As it was auto there is now a lot of unnecessary looms & control modules.
I've also decided to minimise the over engineered engine by doing away with the oil feed pump & the vacuum emissions controls.
I'll fit an alloy rad & electric fans & if I can source it I'd like a manual steering rack & brackets.
So to access the looms I pulled out the interior, pulled the heater control unit & carpet.
1st job was to clean the carpet & then dye it as it was really dirty.
As the carpet was out I decided to bash out all the sound deadening & clean it with thinners. I just need to finish the drivers footwell which I'll get done tomorrow.
As you can see I've started on the looms by removing the auto control ecu & associated looms. Still lots more to do.

I've enjoyed reading your S13 thread so looking forward to more of that sort of thing on the FC
