thanks for changing the title, ok ok I'm now #4 lol

They looked kinda bad, all I did was used some "00" steel wool. That might be why I got them cheap.

mine is 12x24x3 but I think yours will do the job well.

thats probably big enough? mine is over kill I believe.

That's Chris's daughter. He never got out of 1st. but I see your point.

modern motorsports I think?

yes I think they are 1 1/2" spacers.

yeah thats it!

All z in ft worth. both bumpers and a 240sx se 90amp alt for $125

Future Elvis? I think so....

do you really think there fake? I watch allot of videos (adult) so I see myself as somewhat of an "expert" I thought there where real.

its all mounted temporarily still fixing stuff here and there. sorry about the title 240z bumpers on my 280z

I have one on my alternator, but not at the coil. I think I have an old one or two hanging around? Do I go from the 12+ on the coil to the capacitor then to ground? On my alt. I think its hooked to the ground wire then bolted to the alt.

as the guy on the Harley with straight pipes rolls by.............

I'm from Maine, so the first place I think about is Portland Maine?

or start mounting a test light on every place your getting power from and drive the car at a reset see if your loosing a power connection?

lets think around MS. hows your dizzy cap and rotor? fuel pump? fuel filter? stock fuses? fuses in you MS wiring. Or?? how about your ignition switch? do you have any stock relays, or check all your relays? I feel your pain.

I tried to put that one up also but youtube started maintenance and it wouldn't go. That's CRAZY with the fog and all.

There is a guy at our Z club doing just this. I'm not sure what hes got invested in it. When I was a mailman it sucked. The only drive thru I could go through was Burger Street. They have left and right drive thru's:-o

I could of told you that. I was a mailman for 10 years.

check this out I found a connection that came unsolderd. this is what that is Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) The MegaSquirt-II PCB receives electrical current along from the vehicle's battery. If the voltage from the charging system surges or spikes (rises above the accepted level) the Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) diverts just enough current into the outlet's grounding wire to keep the voltage supply to the components at the acceptable level. A MOV forms a connection between the hot power line and the grounding line. A MOV has three parts: a piece of metal oxide material in the middle, joined to the power and grounding line by two semiconductors. These semiconductors have a variable resistance that is dependent on voltage. When voltage is below a certain level, the electrons in the semiconductors flow in such a way as to create a very high resistance. When the voltage exceeds that level, the electrons behave differently, creating a much lower resistance to ground. When the voltage is correct, an MOV does nothing. When voltage is too high, an MOV can conduct 'excess' current to ground in order to eliminate the extra voltage. Because the extra current is diverted into the MOV and to ground, the voltage in the PCB power supply line returns to a normal level, so the MOV's 'by-pass' resistance shoots up again. In this way, the MOV only diverts the surge current, while allowing the standard current to continue powering the components on the PCB. I've had voltage spikes and drops, and this has got to be it! I'll put it back together and report back.

yes

Signs of an impending flyback failure are: MegaSquirt® will often require higher PWM% over time, The engine may start running erratically, especially at higher speeds and loads, the injectors may 'stick' open and flood the engine I'm going to try going to resistors just to make sure I'm not having a flyback failure I've check everything else and I'm loosing my mind.

bummer, must be something else. coil is not loosing power, neither is the fuel pump. hmmmmm
