200sx Web - Wide Body Nissan S14a

This afternoon I was pretty happy with myself. After 2 weeks of doing nothing much aside from things to do with other then car i managed to get into the shed and watch the Wakefield 300 and then V8s whilst fiddling with the car. I managed to get the Alternator firewall connector drilled and pretty much fitted as well as changing the rear of the power panel. I had to do this as after deciding to go with the Tyco isolation switch I needed to change the wiring around a bit.

Tonight I started to install the battery isolation switch. I have decided to mount it on the transmission tunnel and use two Rivnut inserts to bolt it in with, the brass holes on the Tyco Kilovac ev200h are 5.5mm and I needed them to be 6mm for a M6 Rivnut so I drilled them out to 6mm. I then added on a 2 pin deutsch dtm connector for the on and off switches to simply connect into. I have added in the two rivnuts and used hex m6 20mm bolts to secure it to the tunnel.

For the connectors for the wiring i am using Deutsch connectors. The are really nice but pricy although I found going direct to the Australian distributer they were very affordable. Much cheaper then I could even find in the states. Here is some photos of the 12 pin connector being put together for the Race Technology DL1 and installing the pins for the connector using the proper crimp tool. These are the pins

So after a fair while of doing nothing on the car I started to connect up some of the engine loom. I bought all new connectors from online which has made it easier.

I purchased two Hall Effect sensors to run a crank and cam trigger set up. I was originally going to go with the Nigel Petrie designed one however looking at them at WTA and trying to get some help from Nigel i am not convinced in the crank triggers design. It looks likely there is too much opportunity for vibration in the design and looking around i was much more impressed with the Ross Tuffbond set up Nigel Petrie designed  Ross Tuffbond I think i might go with the Ross one along with a Ross balancer

Re doing the coil pack loom with new connectors. I was thinking of replacing the coils with LS coils or a CDI system but I might have to leave it for a while.

The 6point manual switch is not working after checking it with the multi meter.  This could be from an interior quality product but I am not sure. If you have a look on demon tweaks you can pick up electrical cut out switches but they are not cheap. One in particular is also used on Porsche Cup cars and a lot of EV vehicles, on demon tweaks the brand is Brise and the model ev200 but this is actually made by Tyco and funally enough is a similar part number. I ordered one of the tyco ones tonight so hopefully will be a lot better and I can wire up cut out switches outside as well.
