It shields heat...

Not hugely important but if your running a inboxed POD filter you would be getting alotore hot air sucked in from the engine bay

haha thanks!

But seriously is there a problem with the wire not being connected? Should i bolt it to somewhere else? Is it actually an earth?

I;m more worried about the wire not being connected causing problems.

Thanks for the help so far.

I know mines not connected as I have an aftermarket du pipe and the heatshield wouldnt fit

It hasn't caused any problems

But I would be interested to know what it's grounding

haha, when i read the title of the thread i wondered if it was the same 'wire' that confused me, and it was!

i was missing a heat shield, it had disappeared (i think) when the turbo back exhaust was installed along with the dump pipe shield. not that it matters cuz it wouldn't have fitted the new pipe anyway,

i attached it to a bracket which held the original heat shield. i imagine its an earthing wire.

Yea i' dont wanna remove it, Id much rather connect it then take it off afterall it wouldnt be there if it wasnt important. Its just that it seems like the end that isnt attached should be attached to something immportant (i know the heatshield) but the end that is cconnected just seems to be earther on the chassis?

      That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
