So i spent some time tonight moving the now largely useless loom from the passenger side engine bay into the gaurd.

This connector was part of it. Does anyone know what it does? Does it need to be plugged in?

Seems to lead to the wheel hub. Is it an abs or awd thing?

I looked this up at one point on my own car and yes I'm fairly sure it was the abs sensor

Yeah i think so also. Have extended the loom on the sensor and connected it up where it needs to go. All good, was lazy for a second lol

How are you travelling with the build, can’t be much left now?

Mechanical work is done. Fab work done recently by a friend. Work was top notch. Custom baffled catch can and battery mount, bracket for power steering reservoir, intake pipe and dump pipe with vbands, gate pipe welded up etc

2018-05-01_08-23-41

Got the manifold, dump, rear housing, gate pipe ceramic coated.

After i got everything back i got busy at home. Braided oil and water lines, braided wastegate hoses, moved wiring into the gaurd, sorted out power steering hoses.

A while back i wired up the io box with flex, oil press, fuel press, boost solenoid, map sensor, wb1 controller kit so thats all sorted.

Cranked it over last night. engine eventually started for a few seconds before the wife came in and was forced to shut it down. Guess i shouldny really be starting it at 10pm with the newborn sleeping diredtly above the garage!

After i actually get it idling ill send it in for tuning. Not long now.

Awesome result, what boost are you pushing through it?
You’re going to have your hands full when it’s on boost

Thats on 32psi only. Can push it further but need a heavier wastegate spring.

So managed to get 1 run in at wsid before they cancelled the night got cancelled. 10.8 @ 140mph.

Will try and get back out there and better the time. Launch was messy at 1.8 60ft.

Overall ecstatic. 10s first pass. No prep. Decided i was going to race at 6pm after i finished work. Didnt even check tyre pressures or oil level. Opened the garage and drove to the track. With 140mph, theres heaps of room to improve the time.

    • I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..
    • They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to move wrt the other.
    • I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.
    • Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.    
    • I put Whiteline pineapples in my old 33, they came in a 6 pack of them, got rid of the axle tramp altogether, cheap, quick and easy install,  they were pretty solid units though...???high durometer???? and NVH was increased a fair bit How hard are the ones you installed?
