Hi guys the misses recently purchased her second gtr so we are now in the process of doing a few things to it but i have a few questions that i would like answered if possible, the car is semi stock except for a n1 bottom end, 34 n1`s, injectors, exhaust, cooler and a power fc + a few other bits and pieces, any way am now starting to tidy up all the wiring and stuff under the bonnet, plus fitting a new catch can and have just finished putting the battery in the boot. Tis is the car and engine bay.
So the boost solenoid has now been removed and will replace all the old hose with new silicone hose via the boost controller from a direct source off the bottom of the plenum to the actuators, so this will clear some of the wiringup from the engine bay but what do ppl do in regards to the fuse box and wiring coz of late i have seen quite a few pictures of ppl that have them removed and only have the ballast resistor left in its place, is it as easy and tucking it up under the guard in a secured box of do ppl encounter any other issues?
Secondly what is this and what does it do? i see cars that have aftermarket plenums fitted have it completely removed, if this is the case what else needs doing while at it?
Now will also be removing the entire hicas system out of the car, and hopefully replace the power steering pump with a new non hicas item, do the rb30 pumps fit or will i need a non hicas r33 gtst pump? Bracket? Also everything off the cradle will be a piece of cake, but is this piece also hicas related? can it all be removed and unplugged?
So this is what the engine looked like on the weekend and this is what it looks like now. and i must say the plenum was a outright pain in the bum to remove
So i have come from a back ground or cars and imports (6year silvia build) so i know whats what its just a few things about the 26 im new to so any or all imput is appreciated.
cheers
