    climb on the 3TC forum or FB page plenty good info on these engines. have not had to change ignition on mine as vehicle not used very often these days

    once upon a time, trucks/buses/motorhomes could be 'down-rated' to meet the 6T threshold, but i believe this has been removed about same time they removed 'supplementary RUCs, for vehicles operating well under the GLW/GCW

    always had fun with them at the wreckers. offsider used to sacrifice the block, as it was the head that was the spendy part
  5. smokin'joe
    not an alloy block Honda motor , is it ?

    so you want a cheap valve amp ?? may know of a couple of Holdens and Jansens, and you should have asked a week ago, as currently in kaikoura !

    4k and k50 ?

    maybe, when he bustled into dealership demanding a free replacement, the dealership rightfully added "wanker-tax" , and that was what the court managed to remove from the fee ?

    any thing built after 2005 can stay outside my ownership, unless i could afford to buy new, and on-sell with balance of warranty

    i we know the make/model, someone maybe able to tell you were to find the stamping. have an old '56 Holden ute here with plates and possible original engine, but due to having no tags/chassis number, was told i needed to do a 'paper file search' to make sure i have 2 correctidentifiers
  11. smokin'joe
    my understanding is all registered vehicles still have the paper file, but does costs a pretty penny for the search. they must have updated some of it, as our Sunbeam Sport was listed as 'plate never issued' on carjam, as was re-vinned, but de-regoed a very long time ago.......... it now comes up as a un/de-registered Sunbeam Sport

    glued in requires sharp knife and either fishing braid/guitar string on handles to 'saw' the rest of urethane. some thin wedges also help. prick of a job, with limited success

    you can't stretch the budget to the 16CFM unit ? 12cfm will run tools / guns etc, but at a pinch, and will need good water traps to remove condensate

    they do have 'desirable dairy farm runabout' tax , though. they have wrecked nearly all the vitaras

    i did wonder if he was one of us.

    hey team, due being fecked over with a shitty insurance deal, i may need an inspection done on a vehicle in Nelson region. anyone close enough and capable, without going to far out of way ? anyone familiar with nelsoncars on trademe ? fanx
  17. smokin'joe
    yes, so if you have a 'soft' shock, then find approriate spring to set height, and either get the originals rebuilt/replaced. unless going stupid low between warrants, would waste my time with coil-overs unless there are other items needing cert
  18. smokin'joe
    ride height set by the spring
  19. smokin'joe
    only 1/2 to 3/4 hour difference, and saves smoking out SH1 with madza and mishitbus oil fumes !!
  20. smokin'joe

  21. smokin'joe

  22. smokin'joe
    only gonna get worse without having a functioning refinery here. unsure about argon, but NZ's CO2 supply came form there, but medical and industrial

    VN commodore would stall the pump at 1/3 tan round a bad corner. had to remove fuel line from inlet and give it a shot of air at 120psi to get it spinning again
  24. smokin'joe
    winds up the volume on the Wuhan War Whistle on trubro cars !!
  25. smokin'joe
