hey all,

in a little bit of a pickle at the moment,

on tuesday i installed my new stereo in my 33, all was going well, got everything working fine, turned the alarm back on and pressed the unlock button on my key and it beeped at me 8 times in a row, which is weird cause its never done that after ive disconnected and reconnected the battery, thought nothing of it, went to start the car, now this is where im lost, the motor turns over perfectly, fuel pump is pumping fuel but the thing just wont fire. i dont know if ive tripped the alarm or something, i just dont understand why it wont start as the only thing i changed was the stereo.

if anyone has a similar experience or can shed some light on my situation please do, i think ive maybe tripped the immobiliser somehow which is stopping the thing from starting, last night i disconnected the battery, turned the ignition to start and pumped the throttle a few times hoping that it will reset the comp. ill try starting it again tonight but if that doesn't work ill be calling an auto eleky, but hopefully someone here can help me out

cheers

PS: mods if you think this should be somewhere else please move it but i thought it relates to stereo and alarms

cant remember the alarm type, think its fast track or something like that, ill have a look when i get home tonight, i figured it wasn't getting any spark as everything else is working properly, is there an easy way to fix it? or do i need to take it to a pro?

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
