    ANOTHER FRICKEN EMERGENCY IN OKINAWA JAPAN....

    in Drivetrain

    Posted

    Thanks for the reply guys. I hope ACE has them. All I know is the stock bolts dont even make it thru to the other side with the GM flange on the rear. I suspect 1 1/8 will work but you guys that have this upgrade will know better than me. Thanks for looking out. I have money in Hand. Let me know when to send my Address and money!!!

    ANOTHER FRICKEN EMERGENCY IN OKINAWA JAPAN....

    I am having problems finding Grade 8 bolts to use for mounting the rear drive shaft flange (GM TYPE) to the Differential R200. Once we do the upgrade to the GM flange, we must have longer bolts to mount it. If anyone can go to thier local bolt store and get me 4 proper length grade 8 bolts and nuts, I will pay you $10 plus shipping. Is that a deal or what? Looks like it needs 1 1/4 inch long or so if Im guessing correctly. ZFAN have you done this upgrade? Can someone help me over here. Man I am very thankful for the great people on this board, because Hybridz has not failed me yet. Any takers? Please!!!!

    13B turbo in a 240z?

    Yeah Stony, I know. Thats what happens when they spend all of thier girlfriends money to support thier habits...lol. If I had the time and money, there wouldnt ever be a problem. Its all about money I guess. The big difference is that I can still rotate to the states and those poor bastards are stuck here for life! :D Hell they are paying over $3000 for a fricken crank...lol. I can get a 12 sec Z for that. Hope all is well in Alaska!

    I have a friend here in Okinawa that bought a spirit R. Runs 14 flat stock. 280 HP from the crank. A computer chip upgrade, porting and bigger turbo and hes in the 400 range. He has 438 rear gears. Im gonna benchmark from him then go tear up up some locals after he races them...My Z should be in the high 11's low 12's I suspect. 450HP build....gonna be fun... :-D

    VACUUM CANISTER

    I just bled my brakes and the pedal really goes further than I wanted. It gets hard about 1 inch from the floor and then goes no further. Should I lengthen the rod connecting to the pedal? There is about a 2 inch travel before it gets harder. Also if I buy a vacuum canister and install it, will it help with the braking at all? :roll::?:

    Oh I got the template today! Thanks again. Now you have an investment in the Okinawa CZ! I also ordered the COMP-9 modular wiring harness today and will prob change it out AFTER I get it running the end of this month. God Okinawa sucks tail. I cant wait to get home with a garage, Lowes, and a race track etc.. :wink:

    SIGNAL LIGHTS NOT WORKING....HELP!

    in Gen I & II Chevy V8 Tech Board

    Posted

    1. OK guys here it goes. I just assembled everything back in my car. ALL my systems work except for the signal lights. The wire from the fuse box that feeds the column switch is grounded somewhere and blows the fuse, hence no power to the Signal switch. Now that we know this......

     

    2. My Hazards work just fine. With that said theres two things to consider... first if the Hazards work, shouldnt my wires running to the front and rear signal lights be good to go? Not grounded. I suspect that the power feed line is grounded to negative some where instead.

     

    3. If this is the case, cant I just run an alternate power wire to the column for the signal light switch? Would this work? Or option 2....

     

    4. Can I manually rig new wires to the signal lights (IF THEY ARE SHORTED ONLY) and run them to the column. Question is, how do I run them thru a flasher relay? Do they make a relay that left and right can attach to (NOT LIKE THE ONE THE Z HAS)?

     

    Is everybody following me on this? Lastly I need to know which wires are power and which are going to the signal lights. The Signal switch has two socket connectors. One is short with 4 mostly red wires. The second is longer and has mostly green wires (I ASSUME THESE GO TO THE SIGNAL LIGHTS VIA THE FLASHER). Can anyone chime in on that as well. Hey I am learning but I am very creative. I am replacing the entire electrical system at a later date but that will be amother project. I should have done it during my downtime before reassembly but....shouldve wouldve couldve.

     

    I guess that is enough food for thought thus far! Is PETE out there? Maybe I could get some of your electrical wisdom. Thanks for listening everyone.....Patiently awaiting any advise. A wiring diagram for the signal switch would help bunches.... :cry::?:

    Beautiful job! Man I want the template you used for the center cover over the wiper motor! That looks great! Seriously how much would you charge me to have you cut another one out for me? I just used plastic but I LIKE! How about $10?

    Z8, what harness did you buy? I think I like this one:

     

    COMP-9 Modular Panel System

     

    Wouldnt that be sufficient? I dont have an airconditioner or heater etc, just the basic lights, signals, accesorries, fuel pump, electric fan and ignition.

     

    Give me your opinion please. I will buy this sucker in a heart beat. I am just mad I didnt think of it before hand. Now I will have to pull the dash and steering wheel again. I will save this project for the fall though as I just need to get this thing running. I can get the locals to give me a quick fix. It sounds like an easy job . Take out all the old wiring, go to the junk yard and find some good light sockets for the tail and front etc to splice into, Headlight plugs too I guess. A soldering iron would help. Pull the dash, remove all the wiring and go from there. My question is "was it hard to figure out the wires coming from the ignition and turn signal switch to include the wiper switch? I guess thats the hardest part. Any input is appreciated.

     

    Thanks

    Well wouldnt ya know it........SH#T. I got all the wiring done and EVERYTHING, Horn, backup Lights, park Lights, Hazards, High/Low beams work just fine......BUT.....the fuse for the turn signal blows and my turn signals do not work. I tried unplugging everything to find the short and it still doesnt work. Does anyone know what it could be? Is the turn signal flasher relay on the left? The one on the right on the panel works the hazards. Since they work I suppose there is not a problem with the actual lines to the lights. Could it be in the switch somewhere? Any ideas on how to by pass and wire it up differently? Good news is the ignition works fine. At least I tested it by attaching the wires to the starter laying on the ground. It kicks over and my accessories come on when I turn on the key. So I assume it will start when time comes. Now just those Damn turn signals....

     

    By the way is there a place that could do a complete re wire for me when I get bck to the states? I am in Texas....any Texas brothers out there that could recommend. I am really tired (as well as Im sure my wiring is) of dim headlights, Jerry rigging, shorts, burnt out fuses etc. I want to fix it once and for all. I would have done it with my rebuild but I know nothing about electrical and well.....I am in Stinking Okinawa..LOL :roll:

     

    If anyone can cheer me up about this please try! By the way the car is looking sweet. I will post more pics soon. Thanks in advance...
