Poor thing this car just needs an owner who is willing to put the time an money into it with out cutting corners or losing interest, it was once a show winning car

Have tried getting hold of him most of the week but no answer via phone and pm, wondered if he was away

I've got this plug spare in the passenger footwel can't find a home for it, believe the car used to be an auto?

Been through the earths that I can see all seem good have cleaned up the front earths under the wings, the ones at the bottoms of the door pilars are like new, just wondering if all he above fuses with no power are fed from the same wire. That would have been a god send

In the process of putting the car back together after full respray, done a fusebox relocate to the boot following the guide on here but on powering the car up its not behaving it self I've checked the fusebox wiring 3 times all colours correspond to each joint. checked fuses in the main one all are fine, started checking drivers footwell and some fuses have no power to them (fuse is fine) the fuses with no power are as follows Tail 10A (no power) Mir-HTR 10A (no power) Panel 10A (no power) St 7.5A ( no power) Pulled the headlight relay just above the small fuse box in the footwell tested it and works fine, put a test probe on the socket I get power to the trigger wire when the lights are switched on to the stalk but strangely have power on the oposite contact witch should be grounded to activate the solenoid, if j remove solenoid cap plug in an manually push the solenoid I get side lights and power to the fuse. high beam flasher works but pushing it forward does nothing Brake lights, hazards, indecators, windows, alarm, wipers, horn all working I'm not a fan of wiring this is about my limit on tracing stuff not sure where to go from here (apart from SRD) Any help would be greatly appreciated John

No problem spoke to Ryan he said I can use my aem wideband, I'll give you a ring tomorrow if not Monday

Thanks for all your help Tim we have spoke via email on an order is it best to give you a call tomorrow or Monday with payment? Thanks

Thanks Chris

Before buying one from JTI I have a Greddy 3 port boost control valve can this be used? Just making sure before I order one Also what size cal switch for the traction control as it lists two options Thanks

I bought mine off eBay was about £15, removed the carpet gave it a good clean then evenly sprayed the dye on using a detergent bottle. Will need a couple of coats then it's job done. A really simple mod with great results

Thanks the looms I have the other not in the pic has different colours typically the one I picked up when reading into it. With the looms I have do you mean I will just lose a bit of length in wire where I have to cut them at the bulb holder?

Thanks a lot my oem looms been butchered and other colours spliced in that's why its not making sense

Just picked up a set of LED rear lights I want to splice the original looms into them as don't like using bullet connectors if I can help it. I've read up a few posts on here but they all seem different. I have attached some photos in hope one of the wiring gods (heckler) can help me out Thanks

That's a great help thanks

What does every one use to bond the rear quarter windows back in? Was thinking about using sikaflex?

Can't see insurance paying out for any of it if it's drink driving, there may be something in her policy regarding this. I heard of a priest that had "praise the Lord" vinals on his car after an accident the insurance inspector come out and classed the stickers as a mod that had not been declared, and refused to pay out lol

my cousin has just bought one, the footage was amazing I was driving his R8 around 100mph with it hovering about 10ft in the air as I went through it, even though the air turbulence rocked the unit the gyro kept the camera completely still. These are proper boys toys

Cars now in primer and final work going into it before paint, really happy with the lines on the car Started working on the exhaust system this week as the original was not to my taste Ive salvaged the front section of the exhaust, cut and blanked the wastegate entry as ill be running it externally, removed one of the borla silencers and made a new tail pipe with the stainless sheet I had left over from my ac cobra build. I just need the car back now to make it all fit Ive gone for a carbon effect hydro dip on all my dash panels with some extras like the steering cowel and door handles ect

I've come to the conclusion modifying cars is a disease of which I have quite bad

Admire your perseverance, good luck with it

I can see my dad running his work horse off all this oil:d

Thanks Paul

What oil would you recommend for running in the 2jz? also a recommended oil after, fully built single turbo around 800 horses thanks;)

work of art, will you drive it after all that work and polishing?

Great as I hate wiring
