Hey guys, as you can see there is a few quite alot of wiring action going on at the back the engine, Has anyone relocated these sensors/plugs or what ever they are ect? Im thinking they're in a vulnerable spot in terms of getting to hot considering they're jammed up at the back of then engine bay around the cam covers.
any advice on how to get these sh**ts out of the way would be much appreciated

Can anyone tell me where and how to relocate all these wires!? it just looks messy!

I wouldnt worry about heat

I have a wiring harness running a few inches away from turbo/wastegate/exhaust running 23psi and just shy of 300rwkw at the moment and all I have on it is heat wrap. No melting yet

it does look fairly hideous though, How come all that stuff is there like that? Removed for some reason and never properly put back?

My O2 sensor plug isn't happy. The plug is nearly lost its shape and the wiring that is close to that region has brittle coating. That top half of the engine isn't so bad, I'd be more concerned about anything you have near the hot side.

yeah @89CAL initially i was going put it back together but while i wasdoign the engine swap all the mounts and brackets were lost :/

And hence the reason why i was asking Ben, Do you think it would be to complicated or time consuming?
I hate having them just flopping around there any knowledge as to how to move them would be appreciated.

Well to move them it's easy.

Pull apart the loom and then shorten or extend the wires to where you want them. Preferably on the inlet side so it's cooler

If it was me i would just make a couple of simple brackets for where they are and call it a day.

      Behrman is great quality stuff. My 34 has some serious clouding as well but I’m too nervous to try and replace the glass myself so I haven’t bought them yet.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      This might be true if you live in NZ but I can't see how this could be true for us locals here.  I've found the customer support for Haltech to be absolutely amazing. I've turned up to Haltech and spent entire days with their tech support guys, they've even helped me with wiring dramas that had nothing to do with their products.  They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I can't imagine how my experiences with them could possibly be any better.

      If you want to do a single throttle body conversion easily, you won't need to pull anything apart. Take the linkage from your throttle off the linkage controlling the ITBs. Now open the ITBs wide open, and lock the linkages in said position. Now add a single throttle body onto the front of your inlet plenum. No it's not ideal for the last nth of a kw, but it'll be a lot better than what you're already trying to do...   PS, ITBs can be so damn hard to tune from, because roughly 20% movement in a throttle body equates to a change in roughly 80% of its flow (Hence power). When you add up the flow limitations of those small throttle bodys, it is a LOT higher than that of a single large throttle. Hence, TPS is very very sensitive with them, and you do a LOT of work with sensor fusion, and some Maths behind the scenes to make those blends nice, and be smooth.

      Yep, when Haltech purchased Adaptronic, and all of the Adaptronic staff, including Andy went with it, it took Haltech to the next level. Haltech wanted Adaptronic as they wanted things like Andy's fuel models, and some other IP, AND they wanted Andy too as he is brilliant! Andy has spoken about the incompatibilities between the old 1500 stuff vs Nexxus, and it totally makes sense. It's not JUST software that is different, there is huge changes in the underlying hardware too. It's why Haltech has had soooo many changes in the last couple of years, in terms of Hardware, and Software, and why it has become so damn Amazing. Why do you think guys like Rob Dahm with his quad rotor, went from running Adaptronic's to running Haltechs? Andy. Pretty much, Haltech these days, is Adaptronic, but with more funds behind it, and more staff, and hence Andy's visions, and visions of other people that he helps shape their great visions, into amazing new products. All the new Nexxus gear, whole new software for it, new and better dashboards, the apps that will run on headunits and NOT be slow to respond! I understand people being burnt in the past, but if you're ragging on a company, about products and issues from many years ago, it's more a reflection on yourself, not looking or keeping up with new stuff. In which case, those people should be going back to PowerFC and Nistunes as the ECU's to rave on about...
