Thanks Everyone

Should probably update my progress of what has been happening

Have not spend much money on this car as of late since I've been saving heaps to go to Japan at the end of October, but I'll get to that later

So what has been happening is i made up the new brake hardlines to convert to non-ABS brake system setup.

Then i decided i did not like the stock location of the charcoal canister, as it will get in the way of my new intercooler setup. I did not want to get rid of it completely, coz cops here can send you to get emissions tested if they see you don't have one.

This is the photo of the final location with a custom bracket i made up for it and painted flat white primer.



I also polished up some bolts... because racecar...

This is a photo about midway through, as you can see by the middle one some had some serious rust on them



Also chucked the S15 T28 BB turbo on, to see how everything fits up, but still need to get braided water lines for it to fit it.



The weather outside turned out to be awesome on this day, so i took the wiring outside to enjoy the sunshine



Just mocking up the new headlights wiring loom



As you can see the interior is a nightmare atm as i had to unwrap the whole loom to completely de-pin any traces of ABS wiring.



Onto more recent events, i baked my brake calipers after painting to cure the high temp paint, so this weekend i should hopefully get a chance to drop in some new seals in them

Also have been getting a bit side tracked helping out a mate with wiring on his Onevia conversion on his S13. Which scored me a slab of beer and some front corner indicators.



Now as I mentioned earlier, I am heading of to Japan at the end of October for 2 weeks of madness. I'm going there with a few mates and we are staying at the Ebisu Circuit for over a week.
Which brings me to my latest purchase...

This is my new car for the Japan trip that I will be thrashing all week long



It has an extensive list of mods and pushes out around 250kWs at the wheels

This is almost double the power level of my car at home, so it will be a whole new experience

[jaystellato]

So jealous of this. I love the Equip/LM look.

[Jimmy_HR32]

I admire your efforts.

Have fun with the wiring nightmare hah been there done that. It was shit.

[180roman]

Decided to go a bit crazy with a mild wire tuck and fuse/relay box relocation



This is just the beginning



Looking pretty messy



About to turn this into a spider web



ABS wiring from the engine bay removed



Trying to make sense of the mess



New fuse/relay box muck up



Plenty of chopping and soldering left to do to tidy the mess

Holly frick, look at that lip!!!
It looks awesome

1.5" slant lips are stock on those

Unfortunately I'm already selling them to my mate, as I need money for my trip to Japan.

Also sold my white Regamaster Evos and black Work Equips to pay for the Japan trip :'(
