Home for a few minutes, did something down at the freezing shed.

Fitted up those calipers, discs and pads:





Got some new pins and clips for the handbrake cables:



The ongoing saga to findout what brakes I had on the car when I got it has come up again, here is the difference between an s13 rotor and the rotor removed from the car, there is only a bees dick in it. They must be larger than the OEM 230mm ones:



I was always going to need something to make these brakes work, and what with the upgraded fronts, I wanted a master that I knew I could rely on. After a few minutes on ebay I found what I was after, the booster and master from an s13. A BM44 15/16 master will work well, and the booster bolts into an AE86 chassis.



Note the new clutch master, it has a new slave too with an AJPS braided clutch line. How about the state of that bulkhead, will be fixed once the engine comes out again.

Next thing is to finally get the ECU wired up and ready to go, I dug out my electrical tools and started on making the harness:



I have decided to make the injector loom seperate, incase I change injectors and need new plugs later down the track. I just need to source new plugs and I can finish this part up:

Christmas comes everytime I come home from work these days, fortnightly delights:



In these we have:

Overflow tank with the bracket:



A heap of OEM stuff, including throttle gasket, shifter gasket, tail light gaskets, injector orings, fuel rail spacers, brake line retaining clips, clutch fork clips, inlet manifold studs:



So I test fitted the coolant bottle, cause well, I got excited:





I have gone and done something drastic. Ive removed the heater and associated lines. To fit this problem I hit up old mate Sam Q, and ended up with this:



Fitted up like a glove. Pics tomorrow.

I had to check something today, all those years ago when I built this engine I cant remember fitting a spigot bearing. I wanted to make sure there was one there, and if not, I have one here I can knock in. So I got too it, not to hard when I already had no exhaust, tailshaft out and no starter. I just sat the gearbox on the jack cause it was a 2 minute job to inspect and fit if required.





Turns out there was one in there. HAHA just my luck. All up it only took 45 mins to take out and put back in.

First job of the day was getting some brake lines to fit up to the new master. Interestingly the LHF brake line will fit up to the s13 master.

I made several sample pipes out of an old fuel line and took them to the local brake shop.



They worked their magic and for a reasonable price I got replicas of the templates and fitted them up.



I supplied them with the bulkhead grommet before they flared the lines so they could refit it. Here is the finished line on the car, with new brake line clips and AJPS braided soft line.



I need to mock the engine up so I can run the wiring and work out loom lengths, I had to test fit the inlet manifold. RWD manifold with T3 TVIS deletion plate and two oval inlet gaskets, new OEM studs:



Engine mocked and harness ready to go. Note the lack of heater pipes and tap
