Got started on the oil cooler today, All in and sorted but need to tighten the oil cooler lines onto the sandwich plate however - my adjustable doesn't fit so will tighten up tomorrow and fit the horns as the space they used to fit in now is kinda full of oil cooler.

Depends how you define 'easy' currently yes reasonably as it's held in with cable ties! However getting proper brackets made up will take a while but should be OK as is for a while.

Plus I cant tighten up the bloody hoses onto the sandwich plate as my spanner won't fit in!

I was coming to that conclusion but with the way one of the hoses is threaded through to the plate it won't work - looks like it may be back to the drawing board with the hose routing!

Getting there! Still got a slight weep on one of the oil hose to sandwich plate connections but will have to do for now! I'll get it up on a ramp to tighten up at some point soon.

Finally got to o a few minor bits on mine.
Removed the towbar ready for Gonza and bypassed the charcoal canister (as I no longer have a bracket for it).

Anybody see an issue with this?

My line to the manifold if no longer connected and I have no purge solenoid anymore already, what I've now done is Tee'd the two larger pipes in the image above together and removed the canister.

Couple of changes missed off this thread:
Thanks to Anger now with a MD321x fitted with 76mm intake and a touch more JGM magic:

Also an update to the rear end in the shape of a Orcacri rear spoiler with plated and painted boot by total paintworks:

Quick job just finished from this......

To this......

October 2012
You can never stop fiddling with your knob!


look what just arrived!

Thanks Alyn!

Unequal length GT IIs with a 'Harvey' up-pipe, the mesh is really easy to fit, I use smoothite paint on mine as its more chip resistant.

good stuff !! did you notice any difference in sound and power? would like to go down that route ideally before a summer map! the mesh looks 100% better in black as you say the chrome looks to mr t! altho from seeing munks it does look good on certain colours! are you going for a run on wednesday or for mapping?

Headers are not on the car yet, they go on on Tuesday then it's the slow off boost crawl to SRR on Weds for a map.

Just finished changing the plugs and finally fitted my master cylinder stopper (only been sat in the garage for 4years!) need to fit the knock sensor/KS3 tomorrow as I didn't have bolt long enough to piggy back onto the OE sensor and couldn't find an appropriate alternative location.

Working on the car again makes me think I really need to take it off the road for a bit soon and tidy up the engine bay, too many changes have been made without considering the overall impact!

Think Ill relocate the battery to the boot and reroute the fuel lines under the bonnet fitting a swirl pot in the space the battery used to inhabit. Also stating to seriously consider the A/C removal as the car is to used that often on longer journeys.

Put the swirl pot in the boot , will have a larger crumple zone in an accident and your welcome to the box I made for mine to protect it for a small price to cover some of the materials used .

Might take you up on that but now for the sad admission, I need to be able to get a couple of sets of golf clubs in the boot still!

Headers and Up-Pipe were fitted for me by PTS in Clymping, normally a nissan guy but he made an exception for me! couple of issues in fitting with the oil cooler hoses needing tempory re-routing due to the original gap now being full of header! the current run is not as I would like as its under the crash bar but they are tied up high enough to be safe for a while and Ill re-run them later on.

Back to SRR on the 20th Feb for the remap on the new headers and up-pipe, with reasonable results, boost comes in slightly later (100rpm or so) and power is only up by 2! However now running 1.5 not 1.6 bar so there's a bit more in there, mapping was stopped due to clutch slip so next up is a replacement clutch!

Unfortunately I can't get hold of the ACT clutch I wanted in time for Goodwood (and possibly the ring) so thought I'd give this a try!


Should do the job with the lightened Fly!

Everybody I've spoken to in the UK has them on back order with ACT in the states, I contacted them directly and had no response so went for the Competition Clutch instead, will be delivered Tuesday with a lightened flywheel. Good price too and really good service so far over the phone from Andy & Mick.
So next up is fitting, fancy a trip to the coast C.J?

Did you need to get a paddle clutch? I have organic ap and more power? Hope it's not too jerky. I'd be interested in how you find a lightened flywheel though

The organic AP is now only rated to 339 lb/ft that's what I have on mine and it was slipping badly on the rollers, it's the torque that's the issue not the power, mine has around 430lb/ft at 4000rpm.
My clutch is still fine on the road but don't want to end up in the middle of Germany with no drive (again).

It all comes out pretty easily. I've got a spare set of these bits which i got off Bluebugeye last year sometime - painted them a different colour but not got round to fitting them yet.

Interested to see how you get on with that, I've got the 6 paddle one and its a bit of a bitch in traffic, seems to handle the power well enough though

No problems on the drive home or edging the car into the garage - pedal feel is lighter than the AP but the clutch is a bit grabby/juddery when pulling off as you'd expect from a paddle.

The flywheel is not that much lighter than my old one as it turns out that was a lightened API version anyway!
