drift e302 project

Hahaha ummmm sooo..

I used a distribution block for earthing purposes. My motor was also earthed to this same distribution block.

A starter motor's earth is the engine block, which then went through the engine earth and back into this distribution block, this would be fine, if my distribution block was actually earthed! so the result was it was backfeeding all my earths with 12v and not properly earthing the starter motor so hense no crank.

So all i had to do was earth this distribution block. So as soon as the starter motor found an actual earth everything was fine.

So the funny part is I mounted this 'Earth distribution block' thinking 'now everything I plug into this block will now be an earth. which is the case, if you earth the stupid thing to the chassis! =(

Thankfully this was only 1 to 2 nights of stuffing around and not more!

At least you found the issue.

Keen for updates with drift vids.

it's been awhile but i haven't been slacking off, actually working my arse off to get this thing done as it's so close to being finished now!

Had to modify the tunnel to fit this cable to hyd clutch conversion on the tremec.


Oil cooler relocation kit done!

So extremely close!

went to start it over the weekend and possibly drive it but for some reason i'm now getting no spark....?

Being a carby with all MSD ignition I've checked all the MSD components for the right power (when it should be live) and all earths and everything checks out.

Not to sure what is going on but hopefully I can figure it out so I can start it this weekend!

Been awhile, fixed the above issues, turns out the MSD ignition box was only getting 12v on ignition and not crank as well. All sorted now and the engine is running mint!

Since then I've been playing around with this stupid hyd clutch and its the only thing stopping me from driving it.

Not sure why but i should be expecting 28mm of travel at the slave cylinder but I'm only getting 18mm. I've bleed the system plenty of times and still no change =(

What are you using for a clutch master?

[drift e302]

standard e30 clutch master which is 3/4 and getting around 40mm of stroke at the master
