Only just discovered this thread (damn pc at work wouldn't let me look at the pic's and i was to lazy to read it all!!!) Anyway, have you sorted the butterfly for your throttle body? I am in the process of making a batch of skyline ones and could tell you the easiest way to sort one.

cant really do the wiring as I dont know how long to do each wire with out the engine.. so do I do it anyway and then sort it once the engine arrives or do I do it now and alter it later?
850cc Injectors arrived the other day, cheers Paul..
Still waiting for new hoses..

For most of the wiring, all you would really need is the inlet manifold?? Everything else should fall into place.
Are you making the loom in a similar way to the original one, with multiplugs beside the battery, for easy engine removal??
This would allow you to make the loom on the car, and the one which mostly goes through the inlet manifold pretty well, without the engine.
Crank and Cam sensors will be wired seperately from teh main loom probably anyway, and the wire length for these should be easily adjusted.
