haha yeah you will get power on both sides of the injectors .the ecu earths them to fire them.pretty much as long as you have all the earths and 2 continous power feeds to the ecu and switched power to the pink it should go

All fired up, she runs like a dream. Had a wrong power feed hooked up to the computer.

All go now!

started doing the fuel tank this week.
then decided i need to do the diff so i can ensure good clearences. so i did the diff today.
old diff after i cut the saddles from it.

dont worry about the ubolts i will use correct length ones once i have painted.

view of the drivers side off the diff.

view of the drivers side too show where the wheels stay in and dont come out past the guards. i will be using other wheels when i put it on the road.

back to the fuel tank tommorow.
cheers shane

lookin good man .... are you planning to cut the diff down ?

lookin good man .... are you planning to cut the diff down ?

no, i dont think there will be any need to.
once i do the tank and floor i will put some wieght in it to see how far it comes down to see if the guards will hit the tyres.

 

[Sammy]

i'll be very suprised if you don't need to, i had to cut something like 110mm out of my diff!

having said that, if thats a vl diff it will be narrower to start with, but its not that much different to a vn diff.

when i first got the vn diff i measured the difference it was about 75 mm. so i just figured i would get rims with an offset if needed.

havent done much over the last couple of weeks, been too busy at work and its been too cold after work. Have got the pet tank mounted and made some new panels and welded them in.
i also put hq front hubs on so i couls have vn wheels on the front as well.
have to start the serious end now. have to measure the vn floor and the length from engine mount to tranny x member so i can start to mount the floor and weld it in.
pic of tank sitting in place, am thinking of putting the filler where the spare tyre door was.the original is just to the left of the tank hole just behind the wheel well.

underside of the rear chassis x rail with all the panels welded in, there is 3 layers of steel.

 

[Sammy]

you should be careful using hq hubs as the offset of the studs is actually different to commodore ..... the studs will bend when tighhtened up and eventually snap off!!

if you want to run commodore wheels you should be using a commodore hub!

yeah i know that, they are just for mock up. it still has the kingpin frontend ubder it.
