Me too, they are definitely the cheapest for them at about 2/3 the price. Running the red version in both the blue 32 and 33 - I don't think there was any difference in price at RHD between the blue standard and red race versions. The blue one is just supposed to mimic the factory sensor parameters apparently.

I think you’re right it mimics the factory one just faster which will work great for me, after the transfer case mod it put the power to the ground with no issues in second gear (didn’t try first as I knew the engine was broken)

Yeah even the blue one is suposedly a 30 times faster signal transfer from sensing g changes, so it's definitely still an improvement over the existing analogue pendulum sensor.

So is it just plug and play or more to it?

Yes plug and play- preset parameters varying between the blue and red models.

Decided to more “because it’s 30yrs old” work on the car 

Replace the ball joints in the inner and out of the lower control arm

and while I was at I threw in a set of these to fix the suspension angles after lowering it and move the spacers on the rack ends to match 

[r32-25t]

Just as I finished doing that I just happened to spin the front wheel and the wheel bearing wasn’t happy because it grumbled at me lol guess I know what my next job will be

Wow you're really going all out on this. You're doing all the things most people don't bother with, and I love it!

Thanks mate, I’ve got a couple more things to do but I’m really running out of things to do without the engine.

[r32-25t]

Got the genuine rear bearings and set about fitting them up 

rear hub and bearing out on the bench

old bearing off and new on sitting beside it ready to press back on

back in the car before fitting all the hand brake shoes back in

pulled the front hubs out but do not have the tools I’d require to do them myself and will need to get them done next week 

[r32-25t]

Got the hubs back during the week, bearings replaced and a quick vapor blast and they’re looking good 

devided while I was at it I’d give the brakes some new discs 

and fitted, yes I know it’s an old split pin, the shafts need to come out when the engine gets fitted and I’ll replace them then

 

I gave the rear the same treatment as well

Awesome stuff, good to see you smashing out the jobs!

[r32-25t]

Thanks mate, I’m just trying to think of anything that needs doing, problem is I’m running out of jobs till the engine arrives 

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Have you done your diff, subframe, and LCA bushes? And how about all the ball joints?

I'm sure I can help you waste money LOL.

Thanks but I think I’ll take a break until the engine arrives or find something to do on it who knows
