Not sure if this will be of interest to anyone here, but as this community has been such a great source of information to me, I wanted to give something back.

I have a bunch of videos and pictures that I took as I disassembled the Leaf drive unit I am using in an EV conversion.

I figured i would share these here in case they are of use to anyone.

The drive unit is a 2nd generation one from 2014 with the components in a single stack and the EM57 motor.

The videos of the inverter are here:

And the PDM/Charger are here:

I'll upload the photos in a follow up post. I hope somone out there finds this stuff as fascinating as I have.
 
Let me know if there is anything i can do to help your topic (if there are any specific pictures or videos you need i can try to take them.)
 
It took a while, but I finally got around to taking a look inside the Leaf Gen 2 gearbox.

Hope this is of interest to some of you.

I noticed the external plug that has the 12v/CAN/resolver wires. Is that easy to get a hold of? Does anybody have a link to a place I can order that?
