1jz-gte SHES ALIVE!!!
I must say the extending the wires took longer than the engine swap itself.. I will post details on this swap if anyone would like I will also include pictures and step by step instructions . I will post as soon as I write it up.

What type of wire did you use? Can't wait to see it man!!!

When extending the wires 18" I desides to do it in 2 spots so I wouldnt have a big knot later. so I did half in the middle of tha harness behind the cam cover adn the other half by the plugs. I left the knock sensor extending by the plug . the original wire reaches into the cabin just not all the way to the ecu so I didnt use shielded wire. some people dont extend the harness, I cant see leaving the ecu dangling where its not supposed to be. I sold my cluster because I thought I was getting JDM .
BTW, I think the temp gauge is just a matter of finding the right resistor to install on that wire. b/c it goes up half way when you turn the key them goes to hot after car reaches normal temp. so finding a resistor to lower the needing about 60%. Tach I have no idea. on 89-90 240sx with srswap you can either get 91+ tach or install some msd tach thing.

wanna come to gainsville next weekend, and help us with matts swap?? you know you wanna! hehe. we may be calling you for wiring help.... possibly... so you should pm your number to either myself, or matt (mteele), or chino(got_trd) 
. that is if you want to. thanks.

I'm understanding that you extended it? And you made the extending near the plug (on the engine side? not the ecu side?)
I would still use shielded wire since various RF waves might be able to interfere with the signal even when under the carpet/dash, etc
