    will you be using an r32 front subframe? for a direct fit or are the mounts you bought for making it work with the s13 subframe?

    So ive managed to get the engine now sitting on "proper" engine mounts... Also swapped the power steering pump, so im still using the s13 one. The throttle cable was needing moved closer to the butterfly so i made a relocating plate. I think the radiator is sitting pretty sweet to.

    She runs!! Didnt manage to get a video i was to excited haha. All seems good so far though, all dash lights are going out on start up and no smoke from the hybrid loom.. Motor sounds sweet as a nut, albeit with no exhaust.

    Next step is to tape up loose wires/route them slightly better, get the radiator plumbed in and sort out the prop and get a fmic.

    Very cool that the beastie runs,that's always the bit we worry about
    all looks very good ,just one thing I noticed is the angle of the cable running to the TB
    it looks in the pic like it needs the outer cable and bracket needs a tweak to run straighter
    possible it may wear through the nylon covering on the inner cable and give you sticking throttle issues
    having the bend before the bracket is better,depends on bonnet clearance you have I guess to a degree?
