Connecting the little things up

ok so its at that time where crappy phone pics don't show much, but i have some really crappy pics anyway, although it doesnt look like i've done much, i have actually done a little bit. Over the last few days i have modded the accelerator cable bracket so that it lines up correctly and is nice and toight. Connected up the fuel lines, brake booster vaccum lines and boost gauge line (yet to install boost gauge though), and i have also been connecting a few wires up underneathe the car, things like the speedo sensor, i've installed the alternator, and had to solder up some wires that came apart when we were installing the gearbox (soldering upside down = interesting!).

i have also figured out my power steering pump issues (i think!), talking to a mate i have been told that there is no in/out lines to the pump. and that both the lines on comming out the top are pressure out, and the pump simply sucks fluid out of the resovoir (which i have also connected up), and pumps it up and through these lines. that means that it shouldn't really matter which way around the lines are, we'll find out later i guess. Also managed to pick up a stock rb20det dump and front pipe for free which is a bonus, got some bolts and gaskets and installed it last night along with my cusco polished oil catch can, mmm shiney ricey pointless engine bay goodies!!!

The shifter is now siliconed on (there was no way to secure the main gear stick, weird), and my interior is back together. So now i have clutch attatched, brake booster attatched (although need to fill the entire system with fluid and bleed all brakes), accelerator is attatched, and shifter is all attatched, so at least i can sit in my car now and pretend to drive! thehehehe.

All that is left now is to install and wire up the thermo fans, which i'm yet to find anyone with any stock, i'm waiting on my oil cooler kit to arrive, i have been talking to a source about cooler piping and he is pretty keen to get in there and give it a go so thats pretty much sorted, i am to pick up the new exaust in the next day or two, and if it doesnt come with a cat i will have to get one from the eastern states (3" high flow), the exaust will also probably need some slight modifications which mark whos doing my cooler piping can also help me with. so yea, everything is just a matter of time now. Once those are all done i can fill everything up with the required fluids and oils, then get a mates bro to come wire it up for me. As there are a few connections and wires that don't match up and have me a bit confused, im hoping i can just leave all that up to him :).
