A slightly less lovely way to rig up that radiator fan would be to have the coil side of a relay hooked up to the "on" position of the ignition, and the load side feeding power to the fans. At least that way you can't forget to turn it on/off and overheat/kill your battery.

Have you done anything to the car yet? Also get a service manual because those have a ton of info.

Well the alternator is driven by one of the belts so it isn't generating poo poo while the belts keep flying off.

Wait I can't remember if you ever fixed those jacked up battery cables in the car. That would definitely cause some intermittent power weirding.

Sperglord Firecock posted:Yeeeeep, was brand new in mid-December. The battery cables are, again, one of the things that I eventually have to replace, but at the moment, getting the car actually running is a bit higher up on the list than battery cables. I'm leaning more towards the alternator being shot. Maybe I can pick up a Nissan Titan 150-Amp Alternator, swap it in like the link a few pages back, and have more amperage than I could ever need charging my battery. The cables are part of getting it running. Alternators don't use magnets and need an initial voltage input or they can't make any power even while spinning. Upgrading your alternator won't do anything if it doesn't have a reliable battery connection.

Why not just get a cheap generic shitbox to learn to work on instead of PO hosed rusted out nightmares?

Also a shitbox won't have enough torque that you can just dump the clutch like you were doing. You'll get better at it because you won't have a choice, the car will punish you for that poo poo.

Is everything in your area that expensive? Those rx-7s are as old as I am.

He's still posting in other subforums so the car must not have turned to powdered rust mid-drive yet.
