2000 should be fine for wiring , the biodegradable stuff was early to mid nineties (my 96 e200 suffered from it)

My dad has a 230k, been fairly problem free , I think he's had to replace afm and brake light switch (used for cruise control too so went into limp mode-fairly common on them) also ac does have a slow mystery leak

then just tyres and servicing

Will a CB radio work in a positive earth setup - it has separate wires in the power feed, so I guess so? On side of the aerial is earthed too.

I suppose I could test it out with Seedy Al's loan radio first

I'd imagine you would need to rubber mount the CB so the case doesn't short it out?

is it a metal or fibreglass aerial? With rubber mounting?

Powertool centre is who we use for work, but it's not coming out of my pocket so never cared about price

are they brushed motors check and see if they're getting low/bad connection that can cause it too and makes for a cheap DIY repair 

Kapit is gods waiting room so I won't be betting against you

also 3 old mustangs and 1 new one down my road (didn't realise before buying!)

oh and don't forget more tassels than a titty bar

My old fuel cell just had heaps of black foam type stuff? No idea how good it is but easy & cheap

google fuel tank foam baffle

Just saw this online,  anyone go last year?

Viva 2 door , mud photo trying to be incognito  a++ combo tridents and eagers

Also some seedy van parked out the front of a school no less

Oh and sh4 wanganui to national park is pretty fun (lots of roadworks and pot holes tho), also takes you past horopito wreckers

About an hour North of Wellington is the Southward Car Museum, pretty decent

If you go on the 21 feb the car park will be full of motorbikes too (think you still have to pay to look at the cars/inside building) they may open up the workshops out the back too?

We use simple green at work and home never minded the smell

We also use crc hydro force for more hardcore/grease&oil cleaning but yeah def have some venting it's like sticking your head in the oven when using oven cleaning

Planes and wind turbines also

Pulsar with mini lites (chuck a 1.8 turbs in it) it says racing on the bonnet so you know it goes hard

Or a sport one if the racing version is too much for you

Been a while since I've done maths/ohms but

Assuming the float is usually supplied 12v

Vn would be full12v/40ohm= 0.3A @gauge

12v/290ohm=0.041A @gauge

If you reduced the supply voltage (chuck a potentiometer in and adjust to correct voltage)

With mitsi float

5v/17ohm=0.29A @gauge

5v/120ohm=0.041A @gauge

I could be completely wrong but that works in my head?

Do you already have tyres? Get white line applied to them?

More legit way would be to get grape wash (was told its left over from making wine?), old work made a washer that sprayed that on as a pre wash then some sort of neutralising wash after, if you've seen the apl direct grey trucks that's what keeps them shiney

I happen to own a folding bike

 

Not a new gay one tho.

Isn't the whole point of a folding bike so you can stick it inside a car?

Yeah that's what I was getting at

why do some of the old petrol Highace have that realy loud intake sound on the over run? rrrrrrrrrrrrrr bawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaa

 

 

is it some stupid mod, get mags on the van and make the intake relay loud

Wife always knew I was almost home when I had one, mate had one too reckoned he fixed it/improved it by fitting new hose from air box to where ever it gets its air from as it was split? Didn't bother me so never looked into it

Folding bike on the roof.....

I had this ages ago, turned out to be the cars connector, it worked fine with normal lights as they will still operate down till there's no voltage left give or take, where as LEDs are voltage sensitive so won't work on less then x Volts maybe check with volt meter?

Are ups battery's any good/handle the cranking? , will have a few hundred spare next year

12v, can get specs tomorrow they're ruffly motorbike size

Hammer drill+12v + 2 ah battery's might not last long, will you be doing much concrete stuff?

Have you tried iTools in pram they parallel stuff in might be able to get 18v for similar money?

(I've never used them but mates builder mates do reckon he's pretty good)

LOL

Have 2003 maxima with vq35de, 180-190kw (well was), 230k ks and was rattle free (till I lowered it and chucked a sub in it)

uses a bit of oil too but def fun dorts and long road trips/overtaking
