Dan had some issues with some of the bolts will replacing the front arm bushes, so treated them for me





Dans work was meticulous, I was very impressed.

I have done a couple of small bits over the winter, moved house s not had much time.

I added a Cusco brake stopper, which was harder to fit than I thought it would, very fiddly!




Then a refresh of my front arb bushes and droplinks

I went to restore the brackets using bilt hamber only to find that the bolts which I was replacing come as a kit
From this


To this



Not bad when compared to a new one!


Put back on with new brackets bolts and nuts

Definitely a little bit more feel, certainly worth adding to an order from Japan parts if you're getting other stuff, not that you will get it anytime soon!

I've got my STi boost gauge to fit... have you any pix of the pipe and plug and play connections.. also where you plugged it into on the fuse board.

I've done a google translate with the Japanese instruction, but don't want to cut the vent pipe in the wrong place lol

Crikey now your asking, I have slept since then!

If I remember correctly I took them off the STI illumination on the centre console as thats where my control unit is in the cubby hole. Red to 12V

Black to Ground

White to Lights on

Orange to ignition

As for the hose, I put a T in the recirc valve hose and attached the sensor to the bulk head out the way.

You've still not fitted these ?? I thought we went through this at the time??

I imagine that connector is the OP Connector and was tucked up behind the fuse box and taped in place with pink tape


See attached PDF for clearer descriptions of UK/European model circuits accessible using this connector . JDM model version is fully populated.







This connector along with the "goodwill connector" below, enables a number of outputs, as used for the Sat Nav upgrades that were not OEM fitted.


Only the first 8 are available for UK/European models



I have the good will connector fitted whose take offs are used for the Pioneer Sat nav inputs and power requirements.
These are also used for my DRL angel eye LED lamps switching connections and the JDM auto folding mirror connections.
The remaining 15 pin outlet block is used for the JDM auto lights and semi auto wiper connector add on.

Your wiring harness has a built in good will connector allowing further adaptors to be fitted.
Does this picture look familiar??


You only need to connect the top one

The OP connector arrived with the Hatch (including narrow bodied WRX) and later models.
Looking at the various model year wiring diagrams, it doesn't show up as a separate page item ( as posted in thread above) until the MY09 workshop manual but is shown in the various associated system diagrams for the MY08 versions.
eg Parking Brake / Brake Fluid Level Warning Light System



ADDITION:
The OP Connector in this form is also available for MY06 > Foresters
Latest part number for version iv of goodwill connector is H0077AJ001

Good you've brought this up as I need to power on my Zada gauge controller (for the oil temperature, oil pressure and boost sensors) from somewhere.
Thanks for the diagram Don, that's really useful (I am sure you have shared this with me in the past but memory fails me :O )
My gauges will be displayed on the headunit which as I understand switches on at accessory mode.
In that case, it would make sense to feed the gauge controller from the Accessory Power Supply (pins 2 and 7 needed), is my understanding correct?
The instructions from the Zada controller say to use a fused 2A feed.
I just need to find some pin type connectors (any suggestions of what type and where to purchase from?) to plug into the OP connector if that's the case.
Alternatively, I could use one of these for an accessory powered circuit?
