depends what you want to do?

If you are just removing aircon and some other simple stuff - just unplug them and don't touch anything else, that way you know you haven't broken anything.

If you want to redo some wiring thats a bit tricker and we'd need to know exactly what you are doing

Or if you want to start from scratch and re-wire everything that's another story again!

hi

we must remove anything flammable

complete strip out no dash just wiring,gauges,race seat,cage and harness

but like i said before not sure on how attessa is affected by removing abs

sounds silly yes but our rules state front brakes must lock in brake test

so complete rewire yes!

cheers

not silly at all - we have the same option in circuit racing (any category as a safety thing), since you are on dirt it is 100% definately better to be able to lock a wheel under brakes.

so....full rewire....there are better people to answer that than me (eg damo and brad) but this is what I did:

took the engine loom and chopped out every line not required. re-routed stuff like the earths and power in.

traced the attessa ECU wires and kept what I needed. Very much of it was ABS so a lot can go (the Attessa computer is the abs computer as well)

new battery location to starter and alternator, then kill switch, + a circuit breaker to protect everything else.

seperate circuits for everything to make tracing faults easier (and if one thing stuffs up everything else still works)

my car is not running yet so take my advice with a grain of salt (or maybe a whole shaker of salt)

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
