The bit I cant get with that is that the battery is still connected to the fuse box. Maybe by taking the alternator off-line and breaking the circuit to ground will do what they want it to.

yep thats the idea that the positive and negative cables are disconnected in the isolator

well not much to show for 3 days hard graft, the instruments wiring has been a royal pain in the ass.

also ran the car up with the new cooling system layout...all works fine, but i need a small adaptor for the radiator union as it fouls the bonnet, also made a temporary fix for the coolant overflow from the coolant header tank....

this afternoon went on a bit of a Jaunt on the Training area near my house, and just happened to stumble upon an old Lynx Military Helicopter, so liberated it of some of its wiring products!!

tomorrow will get the tacho up and running...hopefully, then start tidying up all the wiring......maybe

also need to fit the isolator cut off switch, and the fire extinguisher pull handle....then i can cover the centre console switch panel

DriftLexus · 09-04-2007, 22:00

fking tacho isnt working right..........grrrrrrrr

think im just going to do away with this dam autometer one and go for something a little easier to plumb in

frick, just been studying the wire diagrams for about 3 hours and think i know why......ive connected the tacho signal adaptor in at the wrong place........on the coil igniter

brill, all the bloody heatshrink to remove again....

i hate...electrics

jimboturbo · 10-04-2007, 13:45

never mind mate.. you're getting there.

glad the cooling system is all OK.

DriftLexus · 10-04-2007, 14:25

WOOHOO.

sorted the tacho.....at the end of the day, sometimes its better to ignore what the "experts" say and go with gut feeling....and a bit of re-wireing, it wasnt wired in the wrong place!, but
typically Yank electronics dont work with Import electronics

Dori Mat · 10-04-2007, 19:04

like the lightened glovebox lid mate

DriftLexus · 10-04-2007, 20:07

Cheers............lol. it was from the old blue one, which needed all the weight removing i could get rid off, just didnt seem sensible to destroy another glovebox

well had a play with the tacho...now its working, played with the shift light settings, and fitted the shift light

tommorow will fit the Extinguisher pull...........(maybe)

DriftLexus · 11-04-2007, 17:00

didnt fit extinguisher pull, but did get the last of the instruments in...

EVC, to the right of the steering wheel

DriftLexus · 11-04-2007, 17:03

and short of finally plumbing the feed and return lines from the fuel cell.....fire extinguisher tubes, and a few little bits.

the car is almost complete!!!, which should be great as i am away for another 5 weeks very soon, so shouldnt have much to come back and do

so..

front lip

or no front lip

drax · 11-04-2007, 17:06

Looking very smart, what happened to the BGW? I say with the front lip for sure

Neatens up the front

Sea Squirrel · 11-04-2007, 17:34

As above.

DriftLexus · 11-04-2007, 18:46

BGW is in the garage...will flog it oneday

i kinda agree regards the lip thing, but im thinking more of smashing the dam thing up, ive got a fair few spare front bumpers....no spare lips though

sideways.taff · 11-04-2007, 19:01

Lip on for posing... lip off for practice..

to be honest, not really interested, in the posing thing , looking right, of course. is fine...but not posing

done the show side of things , and quite frankley fed up of all the washing and polishing melarkey

ill see on the availability of more lips, then if there cheap enough, just get them bonded on......and be done with it

we will see

sparks · 11-04-2007, 19:35

Lip on Definitely!!!

Awesome work mate.
