Ah I see! It's funny, we've just finished a topic about inductors at uni so believe it or not that didn't go right over my head! I've been busy lately so haven't had another chance to tinker with it but I'll keep you posted when I do.
cheers

Well it's got 4 out to the coils and there are coils on each cylindel. I thought this was the norm? Anyway after that last post I think I can be fairly confident that it shoudl work as I'm using complete loom, it's just a matter of plugs. There shouldn't be any reason for the messing around with the different cylinder combinations as they should be wired into their correct postitions in the plugs. Maybe I need to look elsewhere. Just a quick one, how does allowing it to spark to the block wreck the ignitor?

what you say Tsillay is not encouraging because my engine, loom and coil ignitor all came from different cars! So that would mean that the bits I have would only work if they all happened to be of the same spark sequence originally? you don't know how I can find out what my engine and ignitor are configured for do you?

Hey guys, have made a small amount of progress. (Due to the use of the pin-outs and also the workshop manual on Datnet.org.) We have now established 12v across the coil ignitor when ignition is on, didn't get a chance to check if it was sparking because I had to run out to work but if it's not sparking now I think I can asssume it's a faulty coil ignitor or even coil pack on cylinder. Does that sound correct to anyone?

Yeah I'm doing the same course as you, only first year, long way to go yet! Thanks for the info. I think I'll be pretty keen to get in on the SAE cup later on. Biggest project we've had so far is the first year lego robot comp! It's just not the same.

G'day michael,
Unfortunately I don't know anything about CVT transmissions, but I was wondering ifyou coudl just answer a few q's about the whole SAE cup thing. I go past the room everyday and have a bit of a glance in to see where the car is at! What is the process of joining the team? How do you choose your driver? How many are involved in the team?
Cheers
David

G'day,
In my car I have a shortened R31 pintara diff which after seeing your's looks very similar if not the same? You could possibly use parts from these and if you could you can get these diffs in 3.9 and 4.11. Don't know if this is any help to you.
cheers

This weekend I tried to get my CA running and ran into several problems, some stupid and some a little more difficult. I'll admit I lost patience fairly quickly so I haven't carried out much analysis. Anyway the simptons are : Engine is turning over, fuel is getting to the rail, there is no spark, and appears that no fuel is getting into the cylinders either. I'm using a standard computer and loom which is a little rough but should all be there. The computer red and green lights are on. I'm also using the barrel out of the silvia so I know it's not that problem some people have had trying to use the original datto barrel which doesn't allow for the fuel pump. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Don't know if you guys know the car or not but I've been on a few mccr cruises and there is an orange coupe with an SR20 that has been on a couple of cruises. It's a really nice car.

I know u say you're on a budget but who could go passed a 6 point bolt in steel roll cage, and I'm only asking $500 ?
