    NEW DYNO VIDS, then disaster...

    When I built my TT Toyota V8 240z Datsun I built the firewall from 2mm thick Hi Tensile steel sheet with just this sort of failure in mind as I was using a home made Twin Plate ;) Glad to read the injuries were only bruising as CK said it could have been so much worse!

    Hood doesn't pop, and other crap

    Coincidence ;) Hold the hood about 4" from closed and let it drop you'll see what I mean. The struts go over centre and do nothing.

    Starter not contacting flywheel

    Shouldn't make a difference as there's only one Starter for the 7M (2 but other than threaded mounting holes they're identical) Sounds more like the Bendix isn't throwing the gear out.
