Got a shitty problem 
, Was all going ok until I turned the key to start it.. Had the bonnet up, sat in the drivers seat, turned the key, it turned 3 times but then I see a tiny puff of smoke coming from behind the inlet manifold! Took key out, went to engine bay and had a slight whiff of an electrical smell, Couldn't see nothing 
So now, Inlet back off, all bits needed to be moved, Moved and I look for a problem, Can't find fuck all wrong, everythings connected, but I did find one earth broken But would that cause this? Its a tiny wire, I've got the connector off of it and will repair it tomorrow, Its just snapped of, but theres enough wire there to refit it.
I'm not so much bothered by this, Its the fucking inlet manifold I'm pissed off with being such a SHIT design, The cunt who designed it needs a fucking slap
So, this is how it stands
Oh well, Another day another problem

Just been outside to see if I could solve the problem... Reconnected that wire, went over the starter motor wiring, Put everything else back on, Inlet etc....
Took a deep breath, turned key, and IT FUCKING STARTS!!!!!!!!
Fuck Im happy!

excellent news kidda now go enjoy it
daughterboarded standard management and a Z32 MAF isnt a bad way to go if youre on a budget but still want fairly big power
PS funky inlet isnt needed, but will add a bit of 'ooh' to the engine bay
