Hi.

Just wondering,

Are your parts engineered to the Australian design rules?
and if so do they come with proof.

Or are your parts for track use only?

Thanks.

I had a GTR and sold it to build my 1200 coupe.

I have a pair of front door trims.
I have a left hand head light.
I have the number plate lights.
I have the air con radiator cooling fan.

All in Country South Australia.

If you want them. . . .come and get them.

Error code is p1298.
Because this is the only code I will start with the outputs.
Plug packs and injectors.

My scan meter only works when the motor ls running so this maybe a hot job.

I have already looked at the page your link goes to. The sumps are 45000 yen.
About $550 au. There does not seem to be a link to buy the thing.

Moroso make a weld in baffle plate with hinged gates for $150 us.
Might go that way.

I've heard of Moroso for after market parts.
Are they an American company?

Thanks
Geoff.

The Blue Bastard goes very well when it is running.

I'm having some HONDA related issues at the moment.

If anyone knows the fix for oil surge in a Honda F20C
please let me know.

And a weird error code from the ECU.
"Higher than expected current"
Considering most of the load is
gone from the ECU I'm at a loss to figure
this one out.

Cheers
Geoff

The last Post.

The rear wing was designed to be end mounted
but I could not make end braces that I
thought looked any good.
So I modified the wing and centre mounted it.

The mounts go down through the boot lid and
connect to the floor.


So that's it.

All finished, Thanks for following.
I hope it was worth the read.

Cheers

Geoff

all most finished. . . . . . . . .

The front guards have been patched and paint
touched up.

Time for the finishing bits.

I made an engine cover from steel in the early
days but have decided not to use it.
I can't weld Aluminium so have pop riveted a
cover together.

The convex interior mirror works very well and
gives a great view out the rear. It makes up for
the crap door mirrors.

The door mirrors look cool and are CAMMS approved
but don't work very well.

At this point in time there are no windscreen wipers
and if I can manage there will never be any.
Just plenty of Rain-X

The Blue Bastard is now driveable and needs a wheel alignment.

Because of the 15" x 8" wheels which have zero off set the
front guards and the under tray required a fair bit of
"opening up" to get the required clearances.

A texta to mark the line and a hack saw blade to cut the
bits off worked ok but it was such a shame to have to
hack into the finished body work.

I have a clubman with a 4AGE 20 valve that drives through a T50
and has never missed a beat.

I understand it is a different thing not being a Turbo setup
but the car is driven hard, revved harder than any turbo will be
and the clutch is quite grabby.

The box just takes it all.

Just remember to run a good quality oil.

Cheers
Geoff

Bryan, you pick what I missed, well done.

The timing checked out OK as did the spark.

I kept looking for electrical problems.

I was using the Honda S2000 service manual for the USA.
It talks about an immobilizer, which I could not find
nor had a remote for, The only Black box I could find turned out to be the
Keyless remote box, for which I did not have the remote for either.

After a lot of investigation I found out that the Japanese
domestic market cars don't have immobilizers and the keyless
remote only opens the doors.

A friend of mine suggested the Fuel injectors might have
fuel pressure applied to them, and an electrical pulse
applied to them, but were they actually passing fuel.

I removed the injectors and had them tested and cleaned
and was informed that all four injectors were blocked.

Once cleaned and reinstalled the motor started on the first crank.

The injector cleaning people said that Japanese fuel is
good quality but has ethanol in it and will seize injectors
if left for a long time, and in my case it was about
about 2 years.

So once started the wiring looms were reduced to the minimum
and installed in the car.

The blue bastard lives . . . . .

Earths all good. . . . .

The type of ECU I am using "sinks" the voltage to / from sensors
and the injectors so earthing the ECU is very important, all checked OK.

What I mean by sink is.
I will use the fuel injectors as an example.

There are two wires to each injector. One wire is connected
to the battery supply when the ignition is turned on.

The other wire is connected to the ECU.
The transistor in the ECU will, when required allow the power to flow
through the injector, through the transistor to earth, the frame of the
car and back to the battery negative.

Every second time engine rotates the injector is energised for a very short
period of time to supply a dose of fuel to be burnt.

The voltage applied is always 12v (battery voltage) but because it is pulsed the
average voltage seen by a volt meter will be less than 12 volt.

The higher the injector duty cycle and the higher the engine RPM is the higher
the average voltage will be.

This voltage can be measured whilst the engine is cranking
to see if the injectors are being fired.
In this case about 7.5 volts.

Earths all good.

Any other Ideas ? ? ? ?
