BREAKING NEWS: We have started. Redid all my injector wiring, even though it mostly looked fine, I think a few of my crimps were bad on the signal side, causing them not to fire. Did an extra nice job, and all was well. Still wouldn't start. Decided to rotate back to TDC. Turns out, the last time I set to TDC, I thought my dizzy rotor was 180 off, so I rotated the shaft 180. It was correct where it was the first time, so I actually made it 180 degrees off. Just moved my plugs and it started right up. Can't work on it however, as my oil pump gasket gave out, I think I overtightened the pump. Of course something else happens and I can't tune it today. Oh well, at least it starts now. Will take this as an opportunity to turn my shaft to the correct orientation when the gasket arrives tomorrow. Thanks for the help NewZed, you were right, exhaust stroke, not compression. Will post in my build thread over in the L6 forum when I get the timing dialed in tomorrow. Excited to hear the turbo.

Hi HybridZ universe! Been taking a break from the car for a bit, but starting to get more motivated here. Let's do our quick catch up first. ORP was an interesting event. We had positives, but the issue that wrecked the car in July surfaced it's head again. Turns out the ABS was overpowering the master cylinder seals on the front circuit and causing massive pressure losses. I had more pronounced but less consequential failure out there, but had good data to show what was wrong. I got my hands on some Tilton Type 79 master cylinders, developed specifically for the Audi LeMans teams who were seeing a similar failure in their master cylinders. I also had to upgrade the pedal box as these are bearing mount master cylinders. The plan was to run the car again at PIR, but that event ended up getting canceled, and so the car has sat since September. Slowly getting poked at, and trying to figure out where I wanted things to go. I made some aero mods to the fenders, and have been slowly cleaning up the firewall and some other areas. The big change I'm in the middle of here is with my ECU. I'm ditching the megasquirt and going Haltech. The LS never really ran right on the megasquirt, and when I started seeing some odd stuff starting it up for the first time this year, that was all the impetus I needed to ditch that. It'll be for sale shortly, expect to see it soon. Hoping to get to an event this year with the car, but really not sure when or where. For now, here's where we sit. I put it down on the ground for the first time since August last year.

Any chance that you have the plug wires installed in backward rotation? That would give proper timing on #1 but the others would be off. Although, I have started an engine with the plug wires that way. It ran terribly. Here's your old thread with the msq file.

I dont want any filler, so I fit each part perfectly with a butt joint, dolly it out where possible, then grind it flat and smooth for an original fit. before any welding I prime all parts on the back side and pinch points with weld-thru primer the arc and inner rocker are new in this picture then the rear of the rocker, putting back the spot welds in the OEM position Some more primer to look super clean and blend in tot he original rocker which was perfect everywhere else Finally fit the outer skin and tig it in small steps so no warping Some more smoothing of the welds and original spotweld locations used Just a small skim coat of filler on the upper weld seem, but making sure to leave all the factory spot welds to show through the paint. Other side is the same, so on to the front fender next

I know it's an old post but what the heck, here is my rendition of the kenmeri kpgc110 gtr conversation on my 72 240z.
