Gave the bay a quick degrease and clean and moved the wiring out into the guard to help protect it from the heat FC989980-B9BF-46E1-B3B2-E5B4EB911588.thumb.jpeg.fb8d61cf2fce6c95991419d850439145.jpegI’m going to strip the harness and move the abs plug back into the bay and completely remove the wires that are no long being used (air flow meters and etc)56032D25-44DC-4610-AF15-892823C78FC3.thumb.jpeg.a92db8e30908221ba845b8a29de4fd6a.jpegand then after fitting and removing the manifold and turbo countless times getting the oil feed and drain hoses to a point where I was finally happy it’s all sitting in there and ready to start 352C6DC2-6D8F-4F65-A775-2779EFA12E86.thumb.jpeg.72b9d41934375ef0f8981af7c7ab54bf.jpegstill a few things to button up before I can send it for the custom work but hopefully not to far away ?

I think I've put two and two together and figured out your the Brett that used to work at this mechanic shop near Blacktown and did a clutch on my old white R33 back probably 2008 and I dropped off a slab afterwards.

Unless I am completelt wrong lol

Yep that would be me, there were times I wondered if that was your 33 and then I saw the photos of a blue one and figured I was wrong 

That old S2 1998 is long gone, probably wrapped around a pole or tree :(

So had a bit of a scare and thought the head gasket might have let go and I just hadn’t noticed. Finally sealed up the open ports on the cooling system and pulled the plugs out and pressure tested the cooling system.

turned out to be a false alarm and everything is good to go, have ordered the mufflers for it and should have them in the coming days

also ordered a few non engine related bits

I think you missed some updates. 

This went from "turbo is sitting on a manifold needing custom parts" to "I thought I blew the head gasket"

How?! Ha ha

When I pulled the exhaust off there was beads of water all through it and then when i started the car to check for leaks it blew water out the back of the turbo. But turned out to be excessive condensation 

Need to remember this is a stock engine with a factory head gasket and some head studs thrown in, I have no idea what the limit is going to be and it’s always in the back of my mind.

tacked the gates on to make sure they clear everything and roofed the manifold again to have them completely welded

Do you happen to know if the Frenchys people have an email address or anything old fashioned like a phone so I can speak to somebody about thei CAS trigger?  Just that their contacts page is blank.

No idea to be honest, everything I’ve bought from frenchys has come through hi octane racing

I liked the look of their CAS conversion.

Its stock occifer, honest.....

First I installed this thing and it’s made it so much easier to actually see what I’m doing instead of the stupid work light C3FBED9D-3479-475A-8548-235317CDE51A.thumb.jpeg.049620ca70caf76eb89f82ea707e4514.jpegI stripped the wiring harness apart and cut these off then pulled the wires through the harness and removed them from the ecu plug (more inputs yay) 43F12725-156B-420A-9340-FC239D6C99EF.thumb.jpeg.5d7ee624d04462cb3a99265834369ad8.jpegthen buttoned up the harness, ran it inside the guard liner, secured it and then fitted the guard liner back in and the put the wheel back onB72B5CF6-7119-436B-A4FD-828BCDD41C37.thumb.jpeg.e485076e20e1b90f3db0d41bf5397d11.jpeg

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
