Fitting a kit I bought and I'm wondering where the F do people find the room to fit the filter relocator on a 34 lol

33's seem to have a bit more room as the battery is in the boot, but as the 34's battery is in the front there isn't a great deal of room to put it.

I thought about getting a sandwich plate but I was to use this kit as it has the thermostat, I have seen them with built in thermostats but has anyone has any problems or success with these set ups?

I have a Trust kit and lines to suit a 33 but If I can get away with using a sandwich plate with inbuilt thermostat I will, unless I just use a sandwich set up and make up a cover like I've seen other people on here do

Move the fuel filter back and screw the remote filter right in that spot on r34 the screw hole match perfect and keeps it out of the way , prob matches the holes ( behind the black plugs )above that as well but cusco brake stopper uses those ?

The filter will be right up tight but room for your hands to unscrew it and the braided hoses screw right in easy , easy access and near same height level as factory so hoses go in easy?,

the braided hose fit perfect against frame and flip around chassis by tow the hook and up to the cooler mounted in drivers side in front of water sprayer bottle above factory p/s cooler hoop , i cut mine off and use it with r34 auto trans cooler mounted under and behind the oil cooler , will move it to the other side after new body kits goes on

it took some thinking about fitting but really is easy to fit , didnt follow others instructions off here , didnt look neat enough ?

If your intercooler isnt aftermarket you have it even easier in front of radiator straight shot into engine bay !

I use external Mocal thermo stat but the adapter one is easier

Buy some AN fittings to make it easier before ripping it apart they can be a bugger to find local

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
