Ian C Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 It's hard to tell from that vid around 11s as the shot is kinda all over the place, and your needles flick around quickly anyway with wheelspin etc. Are you seeing the needles suddenly drop and then flick back, or is any lighting dimming? Anything else you notice die momentarily? Is it a flicker or a dimming? Any warning lights on the dash glowing dimly rather than being actually on? The more accurately you can spot the symptoms, the easier it'll be to find the prob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanisLupus Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 The flickering needle at 0:11 looks exactly like mine when i had the earthing fault. First intermittently and then every time on full chat. So you could be right about the earthing fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Check earth point IF, driver's side footwell. It earths out the fuel gauge, speedo, and rev counter and nothing else you'd notice. Piccy attached, but it's for LHD so you'll have to flip it in your head From what I recall it's incredibly easy to get at, just pull the trim out and it's in front of your eyes, 10mm bolt.

You know what, i think you have hit the nail on the head there Ian as when the cage was welded in the welder left off earth point IH, i bet he did the same on the other side, will have a look tomorrow. Thanks for that Possibly the most accurately targetted YouTube advert ever I clicked that picture a few min ago and wondered what you was on about, i just clicked it again and the penny dropped, lmao:d Edited August 19, 2011 by JamieP (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) The car is in at SRD at the min to sort a couple of things out. I had a lot of clutch problems at suprapod, after doing some research i think its an hydraulic issue, the master cylinder gets hot from the downpipe being so close and the system has pretty old fluid in it, Lee is going to change the master cylinder, slave cylinder, and fit one of whifbitz braided lines with all new fluid, if that dont cure the problem then Lee will look at the clutch. Lee is also going to make a new heatsheild that covers the master cylinder, ive got some of that gold heat proof sticky back to cover it with an all. I also had an issue with the car ticking over really high at suprapod, 2000rpm, this got worse on the drive home and even worse again when i dropped the car to Lee, 3000rpm tickover when i got to Lee's, turns out where the ICV plate is welded on the bottom of the hypertune manifold its cracked, Lee is removing the manifold to get this fixed, pictures soon. Big thanks to Chris Wilson for sorting out my HKS drag coilovers, Lee got them back today and will be fitting shortly. Picked up my new Hoosier QTP drag slicks today, these are the same 27" i like but an inch wider than the MT's i used at Suprapod. Got one of SRD'd alley undertrays going on the car an all. Also fitting the purge kit back on as i was never sure if nitrous was in the lines or not, With the above sorted and changing NOS jets from 50 bhp to 100 bhp sized jets im hoping getting that 9 i want will be a breeze Nos Jets.

Neil-NA Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I want tyres like that but know it would kill the box When is the next time your out on the strip Jamie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Don't know if it will help but I made a heat shield that ran from the clutch cylinder to the brake cylinder and I also ran the clutch line into the bulkhead under the scuttle panel. It's well shaded from the heat under there. Might be worth doing while it's all stripped out bud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 I want tyres like that but know it would kill the box When is the next time your out on the strip Jamie? Depends when the car is ready Neil, i told Lee im in no rush, there is a few rwyb days coming up in september, i also like the look of the saturday night special on october the first. http://www.santapod.co.uk/calendar.php Myself and Ryan are buying to share Kev Huntley's trailer off him that he used for the ENVY drag Supra, be nice to now have a trailer kicking about i can use when needed, still rather drive my car to an event but its a pita changing wheels and coilover settings when you get there.

That is whats being done now bud, we had one that covered the brake cylinder, just never went infront of the master. Did you get anywhere with the dodgy rev counter issue? No, all earths seemed to be good, strangly after i refitting my headlights the issue has not happened since, im wondering if something from the HID's could have been shorting out, im hopeful that issue is gone.

Chris Wilson Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Bung some SRF in the clutch (brakes too, if you want, but it's dear), you won't boil that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Castrol SRF Chris? i can see a brake fluid listed but no clutch fluid or is it fine to use as clutch fluid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
