The gas truck teardown begins.
But not everything gets scrapped. I’m salvaging brake lines, the 12V harness, and the heater core spot for a modern PTC heater.
Full episode now on my YouTube.

Bye bye #Miata1EV! We hardly new you!what a great platform to learn on. Looking forward to a real build on a Miata in better condition.

graph plotting various gear ratios for 2000 Nissan Frontier
AI graphed some gear ratios for us. FrontiEV has 31inch tires and not expected to ever see 80 mph. These ratios seem readily available. With 200k on the trans, trying to keep RPMs below 7000. Hardbodies have 4.11 and same axle codes!

It's been a while so here's an overview of where our FrontiEV build is today. The interior is buttoned up and all wire leads for Arduino control of dash and HVAC are in place. Nothing has changed in the engine bay or bed, but we take a look anyway!

The first test of paid public charging on my EV Swapped Nissan Hardbody with a Nissan Leaf drivetrain. #EVSwap #NissanD21 #NissanHardbody #NissanLeaf
Swapping a V8 for 3-phase torque is the new LS Swap!
Welcome to a new era in the aftermarket. And I'll beat you off the line! #bet

About to install the Arduino and relays for testing of HVAC system. AC hoses need to be modified before getting results. Code for the AC module, heater module, and main Arduino run file are posted!

A quick video showing the radiator leak in FrontiEV build. Almost had it complete!

#RadiatorLeak
Cooling system is complete now that I've received elbow reducer segments. The only problem is, there's a big leak in the radiator! So close!
With the charger plugged in, battery is getting a charge and water pump is cycling the water. It's a mess...

I've gotten started on HVAC. The heating element is a preheated from VW Golf. It has three 12v that I will run through relays direct to the original Leaf fuses. I'm going to try and control relays from the Arduino. We'll see!

Already posted a video, but here are still pics from the Leaf shifter mod. Reed switches and magnets are glued in place. They provide momentary contact for D and R for the Resolve-EV controller. The parking button already works for N but check which 2 of 3 wires provide continuity

FrontiEV successfully made it around the block. My camera did not 🤦♂️
✅️ Motor mounts installed
✅️ Engine transmission aligned and tightened
✅️ Resolve-EV controller fully wired
✅️ Battery loaded in bed
The last major step is finishing the coolant system, parts should be here soon.

Finished mockup for motor mounts. Passenger side can actually use stock Frontier mounts (which just sit in place! 🤷♂️). Driver side will have rubber mount with studs. Thanks to @sendcutsend for the tip on PVC sheet for pickup. These are coming your way!

Resolve-EV controller we will use has been on the shelf a while so it needed updated firmware. We also needed to solder a jumper on the board since we are using the Leaf accelerator pedal. This labelmaker has shrinktube cartridges, perfect for labeling wires! Ready to install!

Preparation has begun for a basic tilt bed. These latching clamps will hold the front of the bed down. With the bed able to easily tilt, access and installation of battery boxes will be much easier. It also will be fun to show at Cars and Coffee. Thanks to Jimmy for the idea!

New part has arrived! Here's a quick unboxing of a custom mount for the TRW JER107 electric power steering pump I'll be using. From SendCutSend, it is made from 5052 aluminum with black anodized finish.
I used a this CAD file from GrabCad.

I had big ambitions for the long weekend! The most progress was made on getting the wiring done, labeling the required Leaf PDM, inverter, and BMS wires and soldering most of them.
Not very exciting milestones, but good progress towards checking a few off!
