This problem wasnt somethung i had to figure out but like your wiring issue but still a funny/ interesting story. I used to do paint and body for AWR, (the people Mercedes sublets through) and we had a new amg that was hit in the ass. So we pull the bumper; pull the reflectors, sensors, valences, etc; sanded and repainted it. But for some reason the valences were riveted and double sided clippled so it took foreverrrrrr to remove. And then on top of tat, after the new bumper was painted, cleared and ready to put the stuff from the old bumper we noticed something weird in the clear coat, it was a beard hair about 8 inches long, so I had to reprep and repaint it again!

I would recommend a larger cable between the circuit breaker and the starter. I'm running 1/0 with my battery relocation for the power side. I'm also running a 1/0 for the ground from battery to frame and 4 gauge for the engine to body, body to frame, and engine to frame grounds and have zero issues. Keep up the great content! I'm loving the new frequency of videos.

They make a crimp tool for those big copper lugs. You hammer the crimp tool to make the crimp. I like that better than solder. You could probably do both

Love watching you grow man

6:25 i bet that sensor's going crazy all the time for all the unbelievable 'content' tayloy give us 😂

Horse chicks and car guys are like chicken and waffles. They just go together, man. My wife gets me on a completely different level. She understands what it is to throw everything at your passion despite the craziness of it. My wife is a three-day Eventing and dressage trainer and I build cars and crawlers. We winter down there in Ocala every year. It'd be rad to meet up while she's doing a clinic.

I would run a much thicker wire from the battery + to the starter and also a substantial body earth. Volt drop on 12v is huge when you pull alot of amps through a thin wire. When I relocated my battery to the trunk I opted for 50mm cable and ran the positive all the way to where the original battery was mounted. Keep up the great videos

Taylor that is great advice about having a significant other with their own life. I try to learn from my mistakes and my ex and I broke up because of that issue. Good advice

Taylor, you might need to run a relay from solid power to the exciter wire on the starter. Then run the pmu to the relay on a 4 or 5 pin relay. You can get the relays from a wrecking yard, I usually use the Ford, dodge or vw ones. Basically the square box relays. That way you don't overload your circuits on the pmu. I think that thing is made to switch relays, not power high current things directly. I have a video of how I used a relay for my fans if you want to see how they wire. But it's basically 1 powers, one switched and one ground. You can make them switch on by ground or power..

Is it possible that your battery is just dead? Been there trying to trouble shoot an issue having moved my battery to the trunk and it was just slightly too low.

You should do Q&A with Ben like this comment if you agree I like it when I see Ben is in the videos and working in the background its good nvironment fot the KZreadz

Hey Taylor, I know it's already pretty late, but it would be cool to see a promo for the driftvette. I know most will have watched the whole build but for those that might not it would be a good way to show it off and get some info out there. Get the word out so to speak. Keep it going man!

that 5.3 with open headers just sounds amazing :)

I like how you cleaned up the intro. syncing the jumps to the music was a nice touch.

hell yeah brotha, just bought some driftvette merch!

I’m glad if it helps anyone. I used to. Be the guy hung up on car girls and now when I see others do it I’m like noooooo you don’t know what you’re getting yourself into.

Dude, 2-3:30. Hit me right in the heart brother. Good words

hey taylor, your temp sensor is going to be off with those connectors you used as you need to use thermocouple wire and specific connectors other wise it changes the resistance witch in turn will change the temp signal

Taylor, great advice. Nothing worse than couples that can't be apart for even an hour. Great video today...as usual... Nice when people get an idea of whats in Bens inventory. I checked out Bens website sometime ago but I Traded my NA when I picked up an ND-RF. The site could use a little tweaking, but the Taylor Ray channel does a great job as well. :-) Makes for good side topic/banter. Glad to hear you still stoked about the lift... Jobs go better with the right tools...

Ford style external starter solenoid will fix the starting issue. Just seen another channel (SPPTV to be exact) fix this very issue. And points to Ben for rocking long hair in this Florida heat. From a fellow Florida resident and native.

Loving the blue on the fender of your Z!

Add a starter relay. I had the same thing happening in a 76 celica. I don't think it's the real fix (I never found the real issue) but it worked for me. Car starts everytime.

Stoked for the new shop and a lift!

Great work bro. Keep it up. Looking forward to more videos👍👍

your explanation about you and your girlfriend has really put a light on me and my wife's relationship. got me thinking about some stuff

i love your channel taylor!

Yooo that's intro is epic 👌👌👌 keep up the awesome work Tylor

Love the intro homie

Ideas Test light hooked to power go back and check all your grounds even ground to block and tightness of starter etc. Should light up if good ground.

Love the new intro! 😎🤙

I love his intros

Good luck going full time bud. I just bought a tan/green Driftvette shirt to help out a little bit.

Nice job on the new intro i like it

Keep up the solid work bro from nz

you are getting close!

Taylor thick about replacing the syncros yourself its content and from what Ive heard the t56 is a pretty simple transmission rebuild

Make sure the ground from the battery to the chassis is real good and clean and then put another ground From the Block to the frame rail up at the front right by the starter that should help if you haven't got that already

One time my 4wd stopped working on my Tacoma so I went to figure out the problem. First I looked at basic stuff like fuses wire connectors and such had no luck, then I remove the electronic actuator at the diff which was a PITA, disassembled it to look at wire connections and trouble shot it and found nothing. Bought a new actuator installed and found out it didn't work, so now I'm stuck. Dug around online for wiring diagrams and used those to start trouble shooting and checked everything still no luck. Had a buddy come over and he checked the basic stuff again like fuses and wire connectors, low and behold 5 mins into his check he wiggled a connector that I had checked a couple of times and the wire popped out. Turned out to be a 5 min crimp and solder job for what took a week of trouble shooting. Pissed me off but I sure was relieved.

My blazer wouldnt start when it was below 40 degrees. Ended up replacing almost the entire fuel and ignition system to find it was the ign switch was dropping voltage during cranking..........

Can you already get it done i can't wait

You intro alwaya excites me for whats coming next

Check battery voltage and up size the battery with more cranking amps

Did anyone else’s heart drop thinking that this was the ls with the hole in the block??

You are a very smart person

His car girl relationships have ended with the girls leaving him for another girl

Excellent BF/GF Advice ... VERY WISE!

I don't have much mechanical knowledge, but the first time took the tank off my motorcycle it took me 2 hours haha, the second time I did it took maybe 15 to 30 minutes.

Your main switch is bad or not enough ampere rated look for a boat switch there are some that an remote switched

Taylor is a grown up

The red and yellow wires at the top of the firewall (at 8:47) make me nervous. The way they run through the little metal tabs will cause them to wear and short out.

The intro tho 👌

id love to hit ben up about some parts i will be getting rid of and also a few im looking into. I am also a tampa local so that helps haha

Hell yeah brother

Shout out to Chrissy. You share one thing. Horse power😎

All the little stuff adds up and takes time so dont lose patients

I completely agree on your relationship ideals. I have a wife and 2 kids and1 on the way. We survive because we chill and leave eahother alone doin our own things. Meet up at the house and cuddle lol

Taylor, heat wrap the starter, sometimes it doesen't work when it gets too hot

Just a fun note of advice. It's called and ADELE clamp not a P clamp. Makes finding them easier knowing the proper name.

I was expecting more damage lol😂

Here's my story of something simple that took way too damn long. It took me 3 days to chane one single wheel bearing on my maxima. The hub assembly was rusted so bad it took me from 6pm to midnight just to get it off the car and press the bearing out. Then the "master bearing kit" from autozone for whatever reason would not adapt to press in the new bearing. Tried it every way i could. So the next day i took it to a friends press to pop in the new bearing, and the outside race crumpled apart, all the bearings fell out. It was fucked. So the next morning before work i took the old bearing back and got a new one. Went and paid $40 bucks to have a shop press it, took it home after work and put it back together in an hour. I will have a shop press my bearings from now on😅

Have you tried restarting the battery?

I'm surprised cranking that big ol' engine doesn't pop that little 120a breaker. Starters take A LOT of current

@adventureawesomeness

I know on aircraft they don't even have a circuit protection device bc they draw so much current. Makes sense why that's the problem.

What was the brand of the digital gauges

Just ordered my shirt last night. Cant wait to win the Vette! haha

I don’t think 4 gauge for the starter is enough. What’s voltage at the alternator and pmu when you bump it? I just think you have too big of a draw which is causing a drop in voltage.

i wish i could enter into the driftvette giveaway, but alas all of my funds have just been sunk into my 03 sentra spec v. best i can do is show your channel to all of the car dudes i know here in Virginia beach.

Why don't you rivet the holders for the fuel line that way you don't have to worry about screw-ins

I’ve been watching for a while and just now thought about why you decide to do this swap and all this work to a Miata any reason ??

The starters probably trying to draw 200+ amps. 4ga is rated at 100 (i think) plus factoring in voltage drop from a run the length of the car.

@oct2274

5 жыл бұрын

this is the correct answer, or at least partially. starters can draw 200+ amps, so your breaker and wire need to be rated above that. some gm starters draw more than 250 amps.

Is it worth moving to the US to be able to join the Driftvette giveaway?

Took me 5 hours to remove the nuts from an exhaust manifold on a M54 RHD

Stupid question but does the battery have enough voltage? My S14 runs a racepak PDM and if i dont have enough charge to keep the PDM on while it tries to crank it just shuts down. Fingers crossed its something simple!!!
