TWO short days of the build down and this is the current status:
Initialy there was a short delay in the buildup as the Complete loom that came with the car had to be removed.. this was down to the fact I didn't know where the micra loom finished and the SR20 loom started.. and how complete is was... So we have started with a blank canvas..:
This is the interor bare of loom:
and the offending loom.... Is this an almera GTI ( SR20 ) ecu IAN?
So ...
Some prepairing of the engine had to be done... the Powersteering pump assembly and water pump assembly had to be removed.. Then hole in the side of the engine where the water pump had been had to be blanked off.. a Stainless steel sheet was cut and fabricated to fit over the hole using the original bolt holes for fixing.. this was fitted over the hole with High temp Gasket sealant.. then the original pump housing was ground down so It could be used to reinforce the stainless blanking plate and the original water pump housing bolts could be used...
then..
Engine IN.......... -it was a tight fit but bar slight trouble with one mount, (which would of been sorted today but my local scrappies wasn't open) its in...
^^ALSO SEE ABOVE PICS^^
Then COMPLETE P10 Loom..
All of the loom is now in..........- bar some rejoining of some cable clusters where splicing was unavoidable in removal... and generally reconnecting some internal things.. clocks, some interior switches etc..
The Loom from the P10 eGT which was being fitted is much more than needed.. its inclusive of wiring for 4 door central locking and electric windows, 4wheels ABS sensors, Rear speakers with factory AMP, automatic ariel, Electric mirrors etc etc..
But Its much easier and reliable to have a complete loom that can be cut down as needed than splicing 2 looms together..
......then onto some bits and pieces...
Sports Steering wheels and RAID boss are on..
Both Front and Rear performance suspension is on... Consisting of KYB performance Shocks and GMAX sports springs.. (Adj panhard rod and strut braces will go on later)
Rear suspension:
Fitted:
Wheels are on.. Borbet Type T: 14''x9'' et15 ...
getting there... phew..
The loom fitting should easily be finished next weekend as should the final engine mount fitting.. Gear linkages should also be finished.
Thios means the Engine can be started and Run.. also Full electrics should work...
