So it's having a ground problem thru out the whole engine harness, still no stop lights, now the headlights stopped working, the horn goes off on its own, the fuel gauge isnt working, and the left turn signal is always on............thats a nice little list of things to fix.
nice bumper. that damn ground issue seems to be a headache.
God man been so focused on the green G I forgot how good the red looks haha. You have no Idea how incredibly jealous I am. Looking forward to seeing some more updates!!
... also if you ever HAVE to to just want to get rid of some of them parts.... I'll be the first to pick up anything and everything you have, God forbid anything to happen to those beutiful 7g's though
unffff car sounds LEGIT!
hmmm that electrical problem sounds like fun :(
sure the harness was in good condition and there arent any broken wires?
Yeah harness was stock and unhacked when i pulled it out and started working on it. hopefully i'll fix it in no time.
MKO. You doing Great. Keep it up. Hope i could see it at MOD. I will recommend to get some type of IAC, dont know much about the old ECU how they handle cold start. I'm saying at cold start you need 2K rpm so it could get you some fuel and help warm up the engine. This helps vent the crank case better. Is for a reason some car idle high at cold start.
Lookin good man
You are missing a grounding point. What harness are you using again?
Thanks for the advices guys!
its the stock GS harness and stock ECU/SAFC for now just to get it running.
Nick, jump in and save me from the fuel sending unit wiring nightmare!
I kept pretty good notes on all my wiring including the two sensor tank rewire and the gauge is spot on . Let me know if you need any of that.
yes sir, please do share.
I spliced the wires between the plug at door threshold and before it drops to tank.

I lost my notes so I just quickly pulled up the seat to check I abandoned the 3 press sensor wires and grey/red, yellow red, grey/blue and large yellow blue.
im pretty sure i wired it the same way , but i only put 10 bucks worth of 93 octane in there. Or maybe the ground wire isnt doing its job since i have the ground problem.
Thanks bud. I'll investigate more.
SO I found the ground problem - the ECU has 3 fried circuits. I'll attempt to repair it tonight and hopefully it will be running right next time I go over to the garage.
Ain't that a bitch..

Word!!!!
Whats the word?
And I drove it for the first time!
Say whaaaaaat? Sooo how was it?
Well, it has been 2 years plus of building it and i tell you what, it felt good. I was happy for a moment until the exhaust scraped the driveway cuz its hanging a little low. Fixed the ground issue in the ECU, got new MAF and she ran like a champ. Still have to stop with the e-brake tho, but thats next on the list. I.ll be painting the bumper and side skirts this coming week and hopefully replacing the front windshield. Then have take care of little details like gauges and getting some sort of street tune.
Thats awesome man cant wait for updates. Hopefully I should have some coming my way soon enough!
So what will become of the red one?
Congratulations. I hope the rest of the work goes smoothly.
no
Hey guys, see if you can help me. The headlights dont work - Hi, lows.....nothing. Everything else does.
It doesnt get power to the headlight relay and when I look into the diagrams it seems that there's fuse, but i cant seem to find it. The diagram says Fuse 12.

According to this picture Fuse 12 is the horn fuse.....can this be?

Just a quick dummy check, did you test the headlights with the ignition turned on? Mine don't light up with it off.
Otherwise, the brute force method is just start pulling fuses and testing them. You could temporarily swap a 30A fuse from the power windows in to test the #4 position the headlights are supposed to be in.
Oh I cant believe they designed it like this, but yes the headlight relay is powered by the horn fuse on the solenoid side. I had pulled out the horn fuse earlier, because the horn was going off on its own.
Thanks again!
yes
So for some Reason I cant completely bleed the brakes. I need to go get another brake booster cuz somehow I managed to strip two of the four bolts that hold it to the firewall.
Best way to bleed is backwards. I bought a oil can pump little cheap one and a tight fitting hose for the bleeder screw end. Then i hook the tube to the pump then filled it with brake fluid then basically primed it. Then i pumped fluid through the bleeder screw works perfectly.
Or you can go to harbor freight for a conventional brake bleeder kit. I have/did both.
Bleed the master on a bench then bleed the calipers starting wit the one furthest from the master.Quote:

Got motivated to fix my low hanging exhaust , but damn this shit is exhausting. Finally got some ground clearance after 5 hours working on it.
Bled the power steering and now it has small leaks from the AN fittings.........I'm getting tired of this.....
To do list:
Fix rear camber
Fix PS leaks
install/hook up fog lights
buy/install windshield
replace headliner
buy air filter
buy battery
wash/wax the car
get alignment
get insurance
break in the motor
buy dash speakers
Im sure there's more.
It's getting there. Projects are exhausting but they're rewarding when all finished.

OMG leaks are annoying.
Wired the gauges in, fixed the leak at the PS lines and the coolant leak between the two halves of thermostat. Still leaking between head and thermostat.
Got new windshield installed too. Fixed the fuel gauge as well.
Im getting these erratic AFRs, mostly lean conditions and Im about to swap to black box ECU from 99 GSX.
And I need a new 3g brake master....just my luck.
Whats the difference between the 3g and the 8g?
no difference.
Well, I had my exhaust cut and welded for third time now. I was getting lots of vibration from the pipe rubbing againt one of the driveshaft carrier bolts. Its ok now, but I couldnt do a test drive cuz the power steering is still leaking.
Just ordered new tires, hopefully I'll have it aligned soon.
Do you still need a 3G master? I have an extra one sitting in my garage.
