I know thats steel braided line but you probably should use a grommet there anyways... other than that Good job and welcome back
Dude I didn't even think of that on there. I thought it would be ok to be honest!! Thanks for the heads up. I have some noise cancelling feet for the compressor on the way, so I'll tackle it then. Thanks for that and thanks for the welcome back 👍

Yeah even with SS lines the constant rubbing can eventually wear a hole through that stainless steel section.
Well tonight I mounted the controller for the air ride. I decided to relocate the electronic throttle controller to a more practical, out of the way spot....
This will be getting tidied up in the morning and mounted properly. This meant taking the interior apart just to route the cables. As you can guess, I decided to mount the controller in the ashtray section so it's there when I need it, but out the way when I'm parked up....
Time to cut it up and use an old sheet of carbon I had as a base for the controller to sit on....
All done and ready to go in tomorrow....
Also the typical aired out shot after he first run around town with the bags set up and presets sorted....
I have a question and if anyone has the answers for it that would be a great help.
I'm looking at BMW gearboxes (price, availability and they can handle future power increases), and I know the GS430 has a gearing set up of 3.266. So my question is, while I'm about to find a BM box that suits the rear diff ratio of the 430, if I was to go manual, what would people suggest I do with the rear diff? Get an LSD in there and keep the original geering, or go for something totally different?

Hey car looks outstanding man! Hadn't seen your build before now. Did you ever make changes to the transmission and diff? Was going to say, most people look for a OEM Mk4 Supra torsion diff with 3.769:1 ratio. (Auto TT diffs swap in). Way better gear ratio for the 400/430 and no slip. Pretty strong too from what I understand.
The auto torsen diffs can explode from too much power and one good clutch dump with a manual so be aware of that. Clutch type is better for a manual from my understanding.

Thanks man. Me and the mrs bought a house and had a baby so the car didn't get the drive train upgrade but it's still on the cards.
So whilst in lockdown I decided to do a few things. On the completed list are new ball joints, new inner and outer track rods, new reluctor rings to stop the ABS TCS issue, rear discs and pads, and overhaul on the airride install, new black leather interior, refurbished my rims and machine polish.
What I'm currently working on is the alacantara retrim of the pillars and headliner.
Next modifications are a retrofit on the headlights which I am currently collecting parts for.
