Been test fitting the polished plennum and I think I would

Like to do a cable tidy while I'm at it !

 

what i would like to do is split the main harness into

two branches that can go down each side of the fuel rails !

 

doing this would be neat and hide all the cables, is this safe to do ?

 

Good idea Lee!!! I would like to know this also.

yes, its, safe...

 

Nice one dudes!! did you get the pipes Lee??

Shinny new red silicon pipes arrives today !

 

I can now do the water bypass properly, hoping to get this done tonight !

 

Now i know i can safely [touch wood] chop up the harness i might do this too.

 

I'll post some pics on my project page when its done.

Lee if you have enough piping left over to do another water by pass once you have finished with what you need, PM me matey, ill have it off you. so i can do mine.

Well the hoses i bought are fairly high end stuff just to get the best effect !

 

I got them from ebay

likely cheaper options out there but i've used them plenty times before

and there hoses are top quality.

 

It was round about 30 bux to get the hoses and clips i needed for the bypass !

you're welcome

so 3meters in total. lol i sound so noobie, wouldn't really know about the water by pass as I've only ever investigated it using Jeff's photos, the first time i looked i couldn't even make head nor tails of where the bloody things where routing too.

Gonna need to come down and have the crack with you Lee this car of yours is looking tidy!

Watching this thread with interest as I am going to be doing my soon. (Well as soon as I get the spare plenum finished.)

 

Incase anyone else is thinking of doing a plenum pull there is some good info here taking you right through the whole procedure.

Nice one. I posted them ages ago and got worried as I never heard from you, glad your happy

 

Thanks

Looks like a spoke too soon !

 

Came home with a view to fit the water pipes,

I put on my wooly hat and a big warm hoody ready to do some quick sub zero work

only to find the pipes are too bloody big, big in that the silicon wall of the pipes is

far too thick and you can bairly bend the damb things.

 

O well back to the drawing board !

 

8mm id silicone pipe is what you need,it doesnt have to be reinforced either as the normal stuff will cope.id use the Stock nissan pipe clips too,they are sprung for a reason.as the pipe expands and contracts the clip will retain tension on the pipe whereas a jubilee wont.I know people that have used jubilees ok but id imagine after the pipe had shrunk they could work loose.i prefer the clips and think Nissan used them for a good reason imho.

Done the wire tuck today and chopped up the loom in order to hide the cables

under the plennum also fitted the new water pipes too.

 

Heres a few pics :

 

 

 

 

Good point!!

After your recomendation i stuck with the standard clips rather than the jubilee type !

 

Makes sense !
