Turned out to be not neccesary at all. Actually there's a lot of stuff going on around here that's not neccesary IMO... But sometimes just spending the money is half the fun & it keeps the economy ticking over, so it's not all bad.

I was thinking of running to the reverse switch so that everytime it went into reverse it would reconnect the circuit but I guess thebrake is even better again. Is there any issue with the constant o

Because of the wire snip mod?

How about to sort out the A/F?

Leon has his own little DIY interceptors and mods which allow him to do that tuning. He's tried explaining them but I can't really get my head around it without seeing it.

Wire snip gets rid of throttle restriction, but nothing gets rid of the speed restriction short of Nismo, Impul or G-Zone remapped ECUs, and in theory F-con or Haltech PS2000. Still, 180km/h should be plenty fast enough for most people...

Sorry, I should have clarified. If you want to go to the track or live where you won't get locked up for driving faster than 170km/h, then you will need something else.

Anyone feel free to complete this sentence:

The best solution for someone that is happy doing under 171kmh, with a front mount, dump and exhaust is.....

:laugh:

G-zone or leons things.

Depending if you want more power...

Well I did the brake wire mod to a mates M35 toady and we couldn't pick the difference from before and after. We ended up rejoining it.

Seriously couldn't pick the difference???

Did you try the "launch" test? That's really the only way to tell. On my car it was really obvious if the brake wire was disconnected or not. Do a test with, then straight away a test without & let us know.

I stalled it up and launched it a few times and couldnt notice any difference, neither could my mate. We both noticed a heap more when I fitted a plenum spacer to mine.

I might try it on mine one day and double check but after the feel of his I'm in no hurry.

The best thing about the wire snip is coming out of corners on full throttle. Drive it around for a few days, not just a poofy launch or two. :P

I'm running the stock turbo & it's still very noticeable on my car. And as Scotty said, not just a "poofy" launch, but driving out of corners as well (roundabouts can get particularly fun now).

However, the launch is an easy way to do a back-to-back comparison.

For example, with my brake wire connected, when I hold the brake on and floor the accelerator, the engine revs to stall (can't remember exact rpm) and just sits there waiting for me to release the brake.

With the brake wire cut doing the same thing, after a few seconds the back wheels (well probably just one, lol) starts spinning and the take off is much more violent with tyres scrabbling for traction. Very easy to spot the difference.

Its simple, cut the wire, extend it to the dash somewhere and fit a switch you can hit while braking. That will reset the CEL and eventual limp mode. Another way would be to run a little relay off the foot handbrake.

Yeah off of the footbrake is more what I was thinking about. Basically the wire needs to be "uncut" and the brake pedal pressed to reset the CEL/limp mode?

      Thanks Santa (the neverending trials of the 400,000klm, 400kw, RB30, manual swapped Stagea)

      Thanks Duncan! Yeah it's street use for me only. Maybe occasional track day. Any difference in noise when running with the two pumps? I would expect the lift pump to be more quiet than the main pump so hopefully not? And yes, unfortunately quite a big price difference to the simple hanger setup. Though I'm usually willing to trade money for better reliability and future-proofing. Buy once, cry once and all that. I'd be very happy to never have to deal with fuel pump / wiring issues again

      The old manifold was quite under the GTR strut brace.  The new manifold is quite [unknown] the GTR strut brace. The GTR strut brace was needed to clear the bonnet vents. The Old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, but not the bonnet vents. The old strut brace will almost certainly clear the new manifold, and the new bonnet without vents. But I am hoping the GTR strut brace clears the new manifold :p

      On the bright side, at least you knew that it happened and remedied before anything happened. A friend of mine just took his Fiat 124 to a shop for an oil change and they didn't tighten the oil filter housing properly. 4.5 quarts spewed out and even after refilling + tightening the cap the engine has a tick now.

      So, more pain. The FAST manifold is a little larger than the stocker. This is problematic because there really wasn't much clearance to begin with, so going from 'barely enough' well into 'no' is sad based on the external dimensions of the thing, even though where it bolts to the head is the same. Result is the fuel rails sit a good 25mm higher, and this is a bit of an issue with the wiring that runs behind the motor, and the fuel lines, and everything else. When pushing the manifold on, it required a huge amount of force to crush wiring looms to fit it, sensors like the MAP sensor are about 1mm from the firewall, and the FPR just has to bend ABS lines to be forced into place. After some brainstorming and some sad drinking, the loom for some reason ran from the grommet behind the ABS sensor, then to the driver side head, then back to the passenger side head. So all of this was pulled back and stripped, a few wires cut and rejoined, so that the 'branch' was now on the passenger side's head as below: Before you basically couldn't see anything behind the driver head. This is much improved! The MAP sensor is now pointing up (instead of at the firewall) Brackets have been made up for the rail. The rails are for a LS1, the manifold is designed around a LS2 as it's base. Which of course has slightly different bracketry and water pump clearance, hence the mods people need to do. Should be hopefully mounted tonight. I spent money on a new FPR that is slightly more compact than my Turbosmart FPR1200. The gauge has also been moved to the rail. There's also apparently an ORB to AN Union instead of the adapter, because the ~25mm of the current adapter is going to make the difference. Provided this all goes together and arrives today, it'll be the totally not stressful attempt to start it.
