What pricing are you looking at and what will be included in the kit/what will have to be sourced?

Part of me is really keen, but then another part of me thinks I should save the time/money and live with stock as im not having any issues. Too hard to make decisions on this car sometimes lol

It's looking like about $300 for all the mounts and cam trigger wheel.

I can source the sensors also for $70 each and you will just need to get the balancer modified at any machine shop.

I still think its the optical pickups in the cas that are the problems, because even with a 24/1 aem trigger disc i still saw issues, when we hacked up the cas with a hall effect pick up with 24/1 set up, had no problem.

I thinks its a reasonable conclusion to draw, and to solve the problem any hall effect setup off the crank or even a cam only hall effect trigger will work.

I have never seen a hall effect trigger system not work.

How would you go about a cam only Hall effects trigger?

That sounds like the cheaper/easier alternative if it is the optical sensor that is the problem and not the absence of a crank sensor

You could do a cam only hall effect trigger easily enough. You would need 2 sensors and two chopper discs. One disc would only have the single trigger, and the other might have 6 or 12 or 24 depending on what you think you can make worth with the sensor and the ECU. The sensors would probably end up being mounted axially (rather than radially like in Murray's current design so you could have one trigger wheel inside the other. Or you might have one radial and one axial perhaps.

I get sensors from www.digikey.com.au

They are the cheapest supplier I have been able to find in case anyone is looking at hall effect sensors of the Honeywell 1gt101dc type and other brands too. They also have pressure transducers in various types and pressure ranges, once again in Honeywell brand.

That may help people who are looking for automotive sensors :)

wow! that's changed since I last bought some. The last batch I got of them they were only about $35 each!

Well ignore that then!

RS prices have come down too. They use to be about $80 a sensor.

Well guys ive had alot of trouble in the past two weeks getting in contact with the factory in china and as far as I know tthe first batch still has not shipped.

I'll keep you all updated

Super Keen you are BlackBox!

Certainly... anything is possible, I would need to see if there is a dual pickup hal effect sensor or similar more compact items as having two units next to each other will get bulky.

  • 2 weeks later...

Lets just say I've wanted to fly to china to have some stern words with a few people.

I've been talking to the factory up until 2½ weeks ago where they stopped all communications, I ended up contacting the company register in HongKong to obtain the business owners details to contact them and finally heard back last night from one of their sales girls who informed me they are being re-made as there was a problem with the finish and they have been trying to hide it from her by not answering me on Skype, Email, Phone or WeChat...

The business owner has promised me that they will ship this week..... this is all I know and I've well out of pocket at this stage so my fingers and toes have been crossed for weeks they actually show up!

If that fails, contact Julian at Aftermarket Industries / CNC Industries. Apart from making good fuel systems he also has very decent CNC machining capability in China. He made the first 3 alloy spacer plates for my V3 engines and the quality is great.

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
