Hey guys,

Looking at installing some interior neons (don't mock it, i'm extracting some more power from the engine to counter act the added rice :D ) but i want them 2 turn on when I open the doors. Where is the sensor in the door that turns the interior light on? I'm guessing I dont have to run wires through my roof to achieve this. Any help would be appreciated.

I 'm quite sure it's inside the door locking mechanism, but correct me if I'm wrong.

It's gonna take a bit of planning and enginuity to put it all together

I installed my neons and just added a switch

Good luck with yours

its easy, if you want the neon to turn on when you open your door and turn off when you close it

just connect it to your roof interiror light by connecting the wired (cant really remember coz i done this last yr)

but connect it to the roof light and switch it to "door" so everytime you open your door it should turn on so on with closing the door.

i use velcro and stuck it up the roof..hope that helps = ]]

P.S i got the blue neon from supercheap and it wasnt that bright worst then your normal interior light

counldnt see Shi* soo i when back to normal light ^__^

so what does that mean? I'm not the best when it comes to electronics unfortunately!! I'm a f**king mechanic for shits sakes!! How bad is that!!

means if you tap into the switch - you need to connect the switch to the Earth side of your lights, then supply the light with constant +ve power

that way when the switch earths out, you get light

i think the light switch is down below the latch on the pillar part.

only down side to this is that they come on whenever you open the door. i have a blue neon as the interior light in the pulsar, but i also still have the standard light (helps when reading maps, looking for shit, etc) the interior light still works off the switch so i can have the door open and not have it on, but the neon is on whenever the door is open.

      Ogura orc1000f vs Osg tr2cd vs Osg r3c experiences, max torque/max hp?

      By CefiroA31 · Posted

      Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.

      Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.

      Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.

      Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
