let’s just say that for how rough it is, longer than it should’ve my liberal arts major is really taking a toll on my older engineering practices. all kidding aside, prolly an hour. should’ve been like 30 min.
alright so this thing is damn near dead by now, but I finally got enough of a break from boring college stuff to sit down and actually draft a design. the attached images aren’t set in stone by any means and are geared toward an aerodynamic approach rather than aesthetic. also, they’re so...
Just to provide clarity to the situation and an end to the thread, the issue turned out to be a grounding cable that had tucked itself away and then corroded. MPI relay ceased to buzz and now that issue is resolved.
So I dig some digging and felt the relays to feel which one it was, that's how I came to the conclusion of the MPI relay. Sorry, I forgot to include that beforehand. Anywho, it is a 95' so any insight you have would be greatly appreciated.
This'll be a fun story to tell...so I was travelling down the highway, normal response and noises from the engine and car. The further I went on the drive however, it felt like the car just kept giving up more and more. I started to hear a buzzing noise coming from the MPI relay, and throttle...
You'll have to excuse my laziness, calculus was taking a lot outta me this week, but I finally got to checking on the models. They are fullsize, and they are pretty damn impressive. One side is without wheels, which can easily be fixed by yours truly, so I'm gonna tweak some things and then can...
Okay, so I'm a dumb*ss. Literally saw a reference to a 3D database website in an Up To Speed video (shoutout Donut Media), I went to the website and found a file immediately. Even a Brian O'Connor styled one if you're into that. I'm gonna go over the files and check out which one's the best as I...
I'll definitely check into it. And yeah, it's kind of annyoing that there isn't an easier way to do this. There are car databases out there for design, but DSM's are easily shadowed by Ferrari's, Porsche's, and Mclaren's.Same here brother ROFL
First off, those are amazing. Just saying.And secondly, stop with the temptation ROFL
For real though, I think thats the point thats kind of being missed, and I just want to clarify for anyone reading into this with intent: the objective isn't to make a spitting image complete with mounting...
Oh there's going to be A LOT of measuring involved. Have nothing but time though, so it's been a project I've been trying to tackle. I wanted to get a full model solely for the purpose of throwing it into a CFD analyzer and seeing how certain aero parts would work. Function over form I guess...
Don't know if it'd interest you, but right now I'm doing designs on several aero-based items like diffusers, wings, spoilers, etc. plus aesthetic, non-functional, pieces such as widebody kits. I'm currently getting the car modeled into a CAD program, but I'd be more than happy to share the files...
Just to get general ideas on how things would work I was HEAVILY guessing on dimensions, but if youre doing something as detailed as that then yes I'll get as accurate as I can. And if I can't I'll tell you which areas are rough.
I've yet to finish any good renders, but I'll definitely PM you whenever I finish them up. Is there any area you were looking to focus on? I can try finishing up those first if you want.
I have absolutely no idea, due to the handbook and other goodies that I assume come with it not being passed off to me. I did however, fix the issue. But thank you for the intended assistance!So from what I could find all of the connections were good except for one on the main power itself...
Hello to all, let me tell you my story of woe. Pretty much have been driving around a 95 GSX for a bit now, and it's always had this issue of the viper security system interfering with the ignition switch. Finally got around to looking at it and the PO wired it directly into the ignition switch...
I'm down for that man. Ive already made some widebody add-ons that you could mold onto the body (in other words they flow with the lines), and I honestly didn't even think about the hood at first but that's a great idea. I've always been a fan of the RX-7 FD hoods with the multiple cutouts or...
I was thinking about assembling a cheap one just to get basic measurements and curvatures down. I'll be sure to keep giving it some more thought.That's the FIRST time I've seen a portion of our car in a CAD program, so that's some good motivational support. As a concern for the software, I'm...
Minimal but efficient weight savings nonetheless. Any weight loss is a good thing. If you have the exact weight measurements on the new seats and sound deadening than you could easily calculate it.

The 5th post on this...
Let me just preface this with I have only had minimal experience (3-4 years) with design software, mainly Autodesk products, and that I do fully understand that Photoshop is capable of doing what I want. My issue with Photoshop is that (to my knowledge) it isn't geared to engineering, or actual...
Did some digging and found some pictures of burnt drivers on ECUs. 99.9% sure that my board is fine, but I'll post pictures for the sake of that .1% and in case anybody else wants to know what to look for.
I went to see if I could rotate it but it wouldn't budge by hand or when I used a wrench.I found the bearing online through an OEM parts distributer so I'm covered there. I found the how to through VFAQ and it didnt sound too hard. I just didn't know if that was the issue with an alternator...
I assume you mean that you attempt to twist the belt to 90 degrees to check?
EDIT:
Went through and did the pulley check as recommended. The only pulley that had any issues was the alternator pulley itself, and I wasn't sure if this was the culprit or not. If it is, would it be the alternator...
I began to start rebuilding the throttle body checking for leaks or anything else along the way, and immediately noticed that the isc motor was blistering hot to the tocuh and I hadnt even started the car yet...I assume its broke?
I went through and searched for how to clean and dissassemble the throttle body, but I'm pretty sure that it wasn't put back together correctly last time. I can only put one spring under tension as of now. If anyone has a picture of what it should look like when assembled correctly, like the...
Where are they located at? I was talking about the main one on the outside that is on the assembly that the throttle cable connects to. It felt a little weak when I turned it
Okay so I went to start it again, and the idle jumped to 4k like it did before. After that I cranked the BISS screw down until it adjusted it lower, but I would estimate that the idle was probably at 2.5/3k. After that I turned the throttle body by hand to see if it was stuck open. This brought...
So I went out and I started attempting to adjust the BISS and mess with the throttle cable while it was revved so high, and I found that once I got it running I could bring it back down by turning the throttle cable back to where I thought it should be at idle. After checking the throttle cable...
When I boost leak tested it the only leak was at the throttle body gasket, but I've since fixed that. I tested afterward and there were no leaks anywhere. Is there something I'm missing?
Ill be sure to, but if the engine is struggling when the ISC is unplugged and the BISS screw allowing for as much air as possible to get by, then could the issue be something else?
So I went through and did leak tests multiple times to fix whatever areas were leaking. After fixing them, the idle is still jumping straight to 4000ish rpm, but I tried running it without the ISC connected, and this caused it to behave completely different. It not only was around where the idle...
Update: So I went through and completely disconnected the throttle cable to be sure it wasnt that, and the problem is still occuring. I also checked the throttle plate and it is shut. Could it be a computer issue or is it something mechanical? Also, would I benefit from a boost leak test?
So I just got the car running, and for whatever reason the car is idling at 4500rpm. I have tried adjusting the BISS screw and attempted to reset the ISC (although I'm going to try it again). Does anyone know of any other thing that could be causing an idle that high?
I already haveIm getting power to everything else, and nothing but the starter seems to be affected. If I could jump the start, would that be evidence of good power to it?I tried to jump it and there isnt any movement, just a high pitch, very low volume tone
Okay, so after checking the starter and charging the battery the car still will not start. I go to turn the key to the ACC position and hear clicking coming from the engine bay area (I will be locating it later), and when I go to turn the key to engage the starter I can feel the starter relay...
Okay so in order to keep this in one thread, a new problem has reared its head. I left the key in the ignition real quick and when I looked at the car again, the coil pack was smoking thick white smoke. I have no idea what this means...
Okay so to attempt to sum up the issue and the areas and things that I've done, lemme just try to explain this. The main issue is that the car won't start. Won't even crank. I've read a dozen articles over connections and possible issues, and now am under the impression that jumping the starter...
