sorry cant help with the wiring ,but im currently on the way to building mine just a few things you should look at to do .
change the fuel line under the car to a larger diamatre for better fuel flow also a front brake up grade does help alot kev rowley does a silvia brake upgrade for the front ..
when you cover the old hole for the shifter make sure your metal has a 40mm overlap this is required if you going to get it engineered .if you need anything just pm me theres a few diffs out there too that work well under the 120y too ,cheers geoff

okay thanks for that, I'll let you know if I need any info. Cheers.

BTW can you let me know how much it costs you to get it engineered when you get it done. I'm having an L20B engineered into a 120y at the moment (Yes, I have 2 of them) and the eng is charging $780.

Price sounds about right for the engineer mate cost me $700 to get mine done who are you using?

So it sounds like it would run until you let the key go from 'start' to 'on' and this is when it dies off?

If so, sounds like a faulty ignition switch.

Hey there, yeah thats when it dies off. The engineer im using is Archie Robertson, in the Baywater area.

You could try swapping out the ign. sw. from the other 120Y.

It could, however, be that something critical to the engine running is wired to the incorrect circuit and only has power with the key to 'start'.

paid $580 to engineer mine

but it was a single inspection. about 3 hours total.


was also nearly 3 years ago, so sounds pretty fair

Well I got it going, turns out I didn't have power to the computer.

I had a problem with a worn out cam shaft with this motor before the transplant. Was told it is common for the spider gear on the end of the cam to wear down and then it jumps a tooth when hot and driving around crazy.

But the car went after I connected the computer. So off I go and went for a drive in the hills and the bloody timing and that cam problem came back, real quick to. I thought it would slowly go out of wak like last time.

I also made the mistake of taking the dizzy off and trying to adjust it so I could get the car home. But nup no go, my brother towed me home.

So my new problem is how do you set up the timing so that is near the postion it is suppose to be. I have no idea how far out it is now, turn the key and it won't kick over.

I know that if it is in the correct position it still wont start, but at least when I take it some where to get it fixed it will be in the ball park.

Thanks

P.S. Any one know how much a CA18 Cam Shaft is?
