So, thinking about my snorkel, I want to re-route it so instead of doing a silly S bend infront of the battery, it goes straight out the side. Well, straight except for a 75mm offset. This also (hopefully) gives me space to hang another (12v) alternator off. Anyway. round peg square hole, not much t...

Silly bugger, that's where your ashtray goes!

If it's not sold in a month, I'll have the PTO.

MihiT

Yep i started to do it that way but found that the adjacent bolts were finger loose after torgueing the bolt up. The most reliable way that ive found is what i described above. Ive been running beadlocks for several years now with no issue. Well, the proof is in the pudding, so I guess if it works....

MihiT

the idea is to tighten up all the bolts in a progressive rotation pattern, as they are only m6 bolts and a steel inner bead that is drilled and taped, dont go crazy with the spanner. As an engineer, that horrfies me. Is that standard practice??? Typically anything round with PCD bolts gets tightene...

Go and spend that $80 on a multimeter. Then you're looking for voltage at the plug, if not, then continuity in the wires, trace it back until you find the problem. Electronics is a bit like bread-board kits for big-kids. You just can't fix it with a hammer. I have noticed a few 20A "automotive&...

Mmmm... seems odd that a JDM vehicle would have the fuse panel in English In any event I searched on ORE and found an old thread about it... if you wade through the bullshit it might help http://www.offroadexpress.kiwi/Forums/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=16428 Arigato lax-san! Unfortunately, I don't kn...

Sorry I don't understand what you mean MiHiT. Do you know anyone in the auckland area that can do what I want? No, I meant that I'm in Whangarei and could do most of that at those prices. Except they've apparently put the price of steel up again! It looks like Ralfie has you sorted out locally thou...

As the title suggests I am wondering if the PTO set up on an SD33 (4x4, Manual) will fit in with a TD42 (4x4, Manual).

I believe the TD is FS5R50A but unsure what box the SDs run?

MihiT

Holy hell. I could probably manage it for that price, and just a quick trip up the road, too!

MihiT

A waka for $200! Im in the wrong line of work!

A bit of a blow-by-blow picture diary of running the wiring for alarm and central locking. 1) Remove door cards - generally, one screw behind the handle, two in the arm rest, one in the ash tray, then there's the clip that holds the window winder. The rest are pop-off connectors around the perimeter...

Ahh crap, I've put it all back together. for reference, dousing it in CRC 66 has not worked.

Well, The continuity to the cluster checks out, But I'm left with "now what?" Pic shows the rear of the cluster the top 2 pins (indicated) are the ones that the sensor feeds, the third is also connected to the rev gauge, but it doesn't come from anywhere I can poke. (maybe an a/t signal?) ...

I had the same problem with that square hose on mine. Probably stretches from years of heat. When I put a snorkel on I siliconed the pipe on to make sure it was sealed. The best way I have seen if your good at welding thin steel is to cut that whole square section off the airbox and profile a piece...

So while I'm waiting for other things to happen, I want to debug my Tacho. For reference, Sensor on 1990 is under the thermostat manifold. Why oh why is everything in this engine bay so damned difficult?! Even with a half dozen japanese hands I struggle to see why everything is always in the way! ba...

Thanks, I figuired it was something like that. And I'm now considering a 12v alternator, (again, I have a few lying around) I just wouldnt think it would be THAT bad tapping off... Yes it is THAT bad. Consider batteries as buckets of water. As the alternator is in series both battery's get equal cu...

Today: Intake, and more 12v. Is there a gasket or something that is supposed to be in the square connection just before the air cleaner? Seemed loose as a goose and living on gravel I'm sure it's not helping sucking in dusty shit from the engine bay. So I've put some of that draught-stop foam to giv...

You will still draw off one to charge the 3rd one, better to run a 12v reducer to the charger for the 3rd or even better a separate 12v alternator.

I run a redarc charge equaliser to manage the batteries individually and just run 12v stuff off one battery in the 24v system. Been working well for the last 5 years. I saw those. But at $600, I was hoping to make use of things I have lying around already! I see 20A 24-12v units for $130 so that ma...

Also, I should think having a third batt, rather than just drawing off 1, would be a good enough buffer?
