Hi folks Marty here.
Just picked up my first FD yesterday as it is a cari have always wanted to own. Had nissans for the last few and still have 3 x 300zx\'s all short wheel base. Or is going track/drag with high end bhp, one shorty manual twin turbo that is my fun car and one that I\'m breaking. Also got a 954 fireblade bike so I like my fast cars and bikes.
Picked the FD up yesterday as a rolling shell and plan to put a 13b in her then get her out on the road for the summer. At the moment as I\'m aware I need engine, box and ecu. I\'m sure there is more and I\'m sure this forum will have plenty of advise and help as although I have no experience on FD\'s I\'m a mechanic by trade.
Have plenty of receipts with this car for things like koni adjustables, exhaust and various other bits.
Here are some pics anyway.

There are a few points that I need to try get answers for straight off.
In the engine bay pic there is a few box lid. Where is this fuse box and is it missing?
Where are my battery cables as I don\'t see any? Where does the neg bolt to on the chassis?
What can be deleted/moved in the engine bay to tidy it up and Mae it easier to work in as I like my tidy engine bays as I have done with my Zeds. I see the air con hoses have been cut below the battery tray so this will all be coming out.
I think that will do for now thanks folks :)

Nice project and welcome. Looks like that was an auto so you will need a few more parts like prop shafts diff flanges a bit of work to modify looms etc. good project.
Oh right cos clutch pedal is in there and the gaiter is for a manual :)
Someone must have already converted it,, your lucky it defo used to be an automatic ( even still has the climate and cruise control,, nice!),,
you are correct there looks a fuse box missing with all the power wires for battery alternator ect.
Check the sticker in the driver side door. Chances are its a Touring X model which was available in manual hence the sunroof and cruise controls etc
See all of this type of stuff I know on my Zeds :D
Panel says 4AEC-AT on transmission so I guess it was an auto at one point. Can\'t see touring x on there though which bit would that be under?
Yeah would have started life as an Auto then. Model version is in the bottom right corner from memory under "Type?"
Just checked the panel and under trim type it\'s banked but under model- spec it says F115-41J
So any ideas anyone?
Good luck with the project.
Liking the silver/bronze combo.
