Yeah, looks like your knuckles don't have the two holes to bolt the ABS sensor fitting on them. Bummer.

sounds good man. i watched your other video and yours seems to be hesitant to start. like it doesnt fire until 2-3 after you turn it over. mine does it as well. have you ever noticed that?

yeah i have noticed that too
might be the internal coil???

very strange as the first time i fired it up it was like 1-2 fire...then after that it takes a few more turns..so im guessing coil, i read they **** them selves

[DeeAOne]

ive heard that. then i also heard its the FPRSV. fuel pressure regulator solenoid valve. basically bumps up fuel pressure when the motor is warm to help it start. i think it takes a relay thats only in a v6 fuse box to make it work correctly.

The car sounds sexy. I bet your going to turn some serious heads with that in there.

[dave0r]

righto

time for an update, been some what slack with everything on the car, but here goes something of a update.

Basically i didnt factor in the need for Cat converter ($300ish) in the exhaust for the Certification plate. so my rotor upgrade has been put on hold...rotors where and will be toyota AE111 super strut 275x25mm..perfect for what i need! as they two pots already


pop the car up and take the brakes off



Trusty smaller two pot upgrade now jumping ahead of plan..the Eunos 800 twins will have to wait till after the Cert it finished.... thats if i want to drive the car by new years!




Nice fit with the "Vtak just kicked in Y0" rotors



Pad fit nicely, no over lap with 262mm rotors




BLING !!!!




forgot to check if they clear 15" wheels...yup..they do




Ok So have have a "Orange Spark coming out of the plugs....appears the internal coil and ignitor are crap and give out soon enough...

So i rewired the car to suit something a bit more power full



pulled the shed to bits to find 16 guage wire to complete the task



so i wired the new ignitor (from some GM V8, prolly LS1 or something) but i put it where the coil would normally go to keep it safe



Wired up the car again,,,, started ok...but appears the coil is the problem....same "orange spark" so off to P-A-P tomorrow to collect a high energy spark coil...


On and lastly ...i totally hit a snag when the speedo drive "broke" off in to the gearbox ...giving me 2nd and sometimes reverse gear....took the box to bits and found it stuck in the H gate ..removed...fitted....drove the car today around the block..... WOOOP WOOOP

[dave0r]

righto well knowing the coils faulty anyway,,i took off back to P-A-P to get something with more meat in it......turns out there was a 3.0lt v6 Saab (GM ya see) with the coil i needed huge Bosch type

So i Remove the internal coil,,only to find cracks in 3 of the 4 posts



hard to tell the cracks from the photos



Bad Coil..BAD...now rub your nose in it!



put it all backtogether again



Fitted the coil to the only place with room



cut the required wires and put it all back together


and..


OMG

took it for a"Fang" down the street....i cant believe how fast this thing is....
it will EAT my St205 GT4 and my Turbo astina off the mark...this thing can Launch so fast and hard that i didnt reliase i had to change gear already... it revs so fast.

its a Animal..and i llove it even more now

also got a few "chur bo" looks from the maori fullas down the street...Choice!

[Mazda_Powered]

awesome! glad she's running strong!

[dave0r]

brought some new benix brake pads so took for the car a blast around the welcome bay hills to bed them in, managed 25km ...no problems... goes very well....losta of T/Q , pulls to the left when accelerating hard... once over the 90kmh mark it starts to reallly pull hard in 3rd. 5th or 4th gear pulls fell like 3rd in my other car.. im impressed

got the exhaust finished....much slower now i guess that extra 1.5mtr makes a difference....Side pipe coming up next

starting wiring in the alarm today...but cannot figure out if the cars + or - Indicator/hazards lights
Internet diagrams lie...i dont even have that color wire etc....

[Escortfan]

Glad to hear it running, and that your enjoying it! Nice looking GT4 too buddy
