    The 3 plugs in that pic are, red-speed sensor, large 2 pin-neutral safety switch, one in your hand is for the starter. That entire part of the loom needs to be threaded down behind the alternator, along the sump, behind the oil filter and to the gearbox/ starter.

    ah ha.. that would make sense as to why it wouldnt quite reach the starter..
    thanks eric

    Hey mate, did you use the selin translator as well? - also couldn't tell if you've gone single or daul afm - or are you running mafless?

    also - as asked in previous post, what turbo's are they?

    cheers

    yeah no AFM.. stand alone management so no need for maf or any other bits of the sort..
    turbos are GT600R's with braided lines

    Damn. Like the cooler setup. Fantastic fab job. Just to make it clear your car doesn't have AC condensor and aux fan, right. Wondering how could you manange to get so much room. Where did you get the selin elbows? Z1 is selling metal elbows. Not sure if I can use those elbows without taking off the aux fan. Bit confused.
    Also what brand you went for oil cooler?

    yeah no A/C everything gone lines/compresser/condenser all the crap behind the dash... anyway A/C pfft thats what targas are for :p

    sellin elbows came from coz and used some 3" stainless i had left to mount the filters.. they were hard to fit without the sellin elbows as they are more than 90 degreee angles.

    oil coolers are off a freind who didnt end up using them.. think they are generic brand but really good build quality and size is 19row just tigged up an alloy bracket to mount them

    Very nice and tidy!

    Make sure you're extra careful when driving in the rain with those pod filters so low! It doesn't take that deep of a puddle to hydrolock your engine..trust me on it haha!

    NVZ32 Expensive Garage Ornament

    haha lol, i avoid puddles at all cost and try to avoid heavy rain when i can help it,
    the oil coolers in front should give them some protection from direct water/rain along with alloy undertray and mesh for the front opening, was also the reason i decided againt my vented nose

    thanks
