It shields heat...

Not hugely important but if your running a inboxed POD filter you would be getting alotore hot air sucked in from the engine bay

haha thanks!

But seriously is there a problem with the wire not being connected? Should i bolt it to somewhere else? Is it actually an earth?

I;m more worried about the wire not being connected causing problems.

Thanks for the help so far.

I know mines not connected as I have an aftermarket du pipe and the heatshield wouldnt fit

It hasn't caused any problems

But I would be interested to know what it's grounding

haha, when i read the title of the thread i wondered if it was the same 'wire' that confused me, and it was!

i was missing a heat shield, it had disappeared (i think) when the turbo back exhaust was installed along with the dump pipe shield. not that it matters cuz it wouldn't have fitted the new pipe anyway,

i attached it to a bracket which held the original heat shield. i imagine its an earthing wire.

Yea i' dont wanna remove it, Id much rather connect it then take it off afterall it wouldnt be there if it wasnt important. Its just that it seems like the end that isnt attached should be attached to something immportant (i know the heatshield) but the end that is cconnected just seems to be earther on the chassis?

      Rb25 trigger kit and timing misalignment

      The trigger kit I have is similar to the one in the link below. While going through Facebook, I saw someone else mention a similar issue, and I’m starting to think this could be related to the crank gear itself. I understand these parts are CNC machined, but maybe some earlier versions or individual pieces might have slight inconsistencies—it just doesn’t look right in my case. https://www.facebook.com/share/16an8evZd9/?mibextid=wwXIfr I originally installed the crank gear using the thin OEM washer, but as shown in the attached photo, the timing belt walks very close to the edge. When I tried using a Nitto washer—which is thicker—it actually made the issue worse. The belt walks about 1mm off the front edge, which raises more concern about alignment.   I’ve gone through the full process of elimination:   The tensioner pulley and bolt are brand new and installed correctly. The bolt isn’t bent and is oriented properly. The back of the tensioner and the idler pulley are clean and seated correctly. The idler sits slightly more forward, which I understand is due to its design. I’ve experimented with both tight and loose belt tension, but it makes no difference. As soon as the engine runs, the belt immediately walks forward again—even if I reset it beforehand.     At this point, I’m considering replacing the crank gear with your Race Version 1 (12-tooth), but before purchasing, I wanted to ask:   Are you aware of any alignment issues when using this gear? Would this gear help keep the belt aligned correctly, or could the walking still occur? Does it work with a standard missing-tooth crank and rear washer? Is there any specific crank setup or install procedure required?     For reference, I’m not using a front washer, as the PRP crank gear seems to replace the need for one.   Looking forward to your advice.

      Yep, looks that way. Never driven an E30 or R31 so I can only imagine

      Yuh, My new R34 box is sitting on the workshop floor (in its large shipping box, which is a nice thing on its own), along with a front plate to convert to push clutch. There was no way I was interested in rebuilding my existing one. Was only partly interested in the risk of buying a used one. But, if you want a 2nd hander, I can point you to one in/near Melbourne at least. @Komdotkom has one that should be in good enough condition to be usable. I don't think it's in a for sale thread, you'd have to message him. @redzedhas one that definitely needs a rebuild.
