Cleaning up the bay on my 32, I've removed the plenum so I can paint it.

Now I've come across this absolute dogs breakfast, and my OCD will not let it remain in the same state.

The car is only a weeknd cruiser, I've removed hicas, front hicas solenoid and lines, also removed as a/c and carbon canister.

Question I'm asking is all of this needed? Now obviously I know it's there for a reason, but taking in account what's been removed, is all of this still needed?, can things be re-run, blocked etc etc.theres also a few hoses that have been blocked off? I think one runs around the rear of the block and would explain why on the turbo side I've got a steel pipe that has short hoses which are also blocked off, think they went to the old accuators? Also can the AAC valve be removed or best to leave it? Any help is appreciated, any pics or diagrams of how to re route line etc will be greatly appreciated also. post-27243-13907169468328_thumb.jpg

Now that you have the manifold off it would be a good time to check and replace all of those small water hoses as it is a pain to be chasing a water leak with the manifold in place. You can pick up a complete silicon hose kit for less than $100 so it is not a great outlay.

Yeah that's all part of the plan mate, I'm clearing out everything that isn't used, painting the bay as much as possible, with the engine still in it. Only because of corrosion caused by by battery. That why I'd like to find out what is needed and what can be done away with first. This may be a stupid question but bare with me, the heater hoses what are the for exactly? Mainly the 2 hick ones that run behind the block n into the firewall? I'd love to piss them off. Also are there any hoses you CANT USE, braided one on. Apart from vac lines

Those hoses go to the heater core so if you dont care about the heater you can get rid of them and just join them from where they orignally were.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
