I can sort of see that, I've got a lightened flywheel too but I thought that may make it worse as you'd have to have a higher tick over to keep it running (less rotating mass?)

Krzys Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I think that's where the throttle body and idle control come into it? Not 100% clued up but my thinking is (going back to the Skyline here) is it struggled to start with the heavy flywheel and aggressive cams but once the lightened flywheel was put on (with a twinplate clutch) it was about normal for starting again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Ah cool, I reckon it'll idle better than with a stock flywheel at least 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeLaSoul Posted February 12, 2018 Author Share Posted February 12, 2018 More small jobs over the weekend - Function 7 LCA Brace - ARB There are a pair of additional support brackets that need to be fitted, unfortunately once again these were not designed for the Aerodeck!, time to modify.... These go inside the subframe for the brace and ARB brackets to attach to. The ARB brackets also had to be modified as the holes don't quite line up so just had to drill them out slightly Forgot to take pictures underneath so I'll do that this weekend. Car is on all 4 wheels and mobile again though! Sunday was wiring, so fitted all the chassis loom to the front of the car down the inside of each wing. Had to support the trunking in the wing so went for some riveted wire guides Protected the cable as it came through the chassis so it doesn't rub Other side, slightly different run as I had a little less cable to work with So just the headlight and fan plugs to wire up and the engine bay is done. Started the loom from the milspec to the ECU but ran out of wire Also fitted the next part of the oil system ahead of the engine install Fitted the oil temp and pressure sensors to the remote oil filter mounting 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chandler Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 on the passenger side cables, have you tested the wing on to make sure that it doesn't touch the inner side of the wing? it looks quite a bit of cabling on that side thats all. i just ran mine like the drivers side on yours but still gets close @DeLaSoul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
