Snoozin Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Can't wait to see this car again! Can I pinch one of your hubcaps for a trial fit on one of my wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KKtrips Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Why 3 coils? I thought rotarys had two.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Why 3 coils? I thought rotarys had two.. Yeah factory 2 with a dizzy, I am assuming he is doing 2 coils running the leading plugs directly, then the 3rd coil running the trailing plugs through the dizzy.

yoeddynz Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Yeah- its now running wasted spark on the two leading plugs.The wasted spark happens near the end of the expansion stroke and helps clean up any remanants of unburnt fuel. I cant run wasted spark on the trailing plugs though as the wasted spark happens right near the end of the compression stroke- that would be bad. So I'm now by-passing the dizzy and running straight to the leading plugs- A nice direct path avoiding the gap in the cap. And the trailing plugs can use the now redundant leading positions in the cap using the carbon centre button. The original standard setup involved the trailing jumping two gaps in the cap. I'm just gonna update on how its going after a test drive. So far much smoother all round... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Where did you get the coils from? Costly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 A place in Nelson called Youngs automotive matched a best price BNT offered me- $82 each. A fella on kiwirotary has been selling them at $75 each. Many Falcons and some older Nissans had them fitted stock but they are an older shape.

Raizer Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Wainui? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 Just north of the city. Lots of big posh houses over the road. Can't get over how warm the water was eh. A local fella surfing here said it was unusual but neither of us complained. It was I guess fairly flat but still bloody nice. Soft sand, clear water, sun coming up. Just fucking lovely.

Raizer Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Yeah it looks like Wainui/Okitu, would have been the chalet surf lodge/backpackers across the road from that carpark if its the one I think it is. Pretty much the richest part of town, million $ houses full of snobs lol Wish I had known you were coming through here, would have loved to check out the Viva!

Sparkle Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Should go into work tomorrow acting all angry, tell them you took it off gently, and it ruined the paint. Tell them they have to chip in for a full respray, as it won't match up easy. Then when they're shitting themselves, have a mighty lol. String this on as long as possible. Will provide you entertainment for most of the day hopefully. Viva looks sweet btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoeddynz Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Ha yeah. Make them shit bricks. Or tell them that a bunch of 14 year old girls threw themselves at my car and dented the bonnet- all due to there irresponsible homour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anglia4 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'm betting you are going to cut out the section of rack post where the key needs to go and replace it with a piece of pipe so you can put your key through the middle of the post. Also I think its mighty clever to say you have any idea and that we should guess and then wait while all the good ideas flow in for you to choose from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You win!!! very good. Have a cup of tea and some ginger nuts because that is exactly what I'm gonna do. I'm hoping we have some really big pipe with thick walls at work though. Otherwise I'll use a bit of truck prop shaft which is what I used as my prop shaft hoop required for the cert. Maxted- do you work over stoke way or did you see it when I was driving? Do you live in Nelson? Will be good to see another 12a hybrid out on the road around here! I got my new widened steels back from chris web by on Friday. Really amazing neat welds and finish and only cost $250! Plus ho know Don hoff well and they are fully certifiable as I need to get my cert plate changed to suit them. I'll get them sand blasted and then painter at work will put decent paint on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
