Or a gantry crane. Sell it to the Mrs as a adjustable chandelier

I remember them being close but though it was a bit more involved than trimming 5mm. Fuck swapping everything if it is that close

sound like its fucked then hah. Is it possible to swap the reg/rectifier from the uz alt to the jz? oh and check the rotor resistance/current and make sure its not shorted if you do

Its not a dud new reg is it? reg doing hunntz and warming stuff up? or last reg fucked everything

Nah not yet. Its not here for sure. I even double checked the car at the panel bashers

X2 on the saw its heaps quicker

Shitty night time camera photo of some read heat shrink and a slightly out of focus pic of my slightly overkill earth cable. The long arse wire goes to a bolt close to the starter and the others go to the alt and the body. I thought the battery/starter were tired before but it was just a shitty earth. It cranks over heaps faster now and charging is good too. I found some old wiring for a second battery so I'll re use that. It has a rangi battery tray too. I'll have to get a pic of that one day

What is the belt tension like. And what about belt wrap/amount of belt touching the pulley?

I chipped away slowly at some wiring today. I had zero energy so barely cracked a idle. I noticed the blower? motor wire was a bit toasty from a loose crimp so fixed that The passengers (left) headlight plug was fucked, I cbf cleaning an painting the headlight bucket on this side so just slammed the beam in. I think it looks lush with two new lights. Both look like they are shining down, I'll adjust them later. The new adjusters didn't work nicely with the headlight buckets so I re used the old screws. The existing battery terminals/wiring was not up to my standards so I started re doing it. It was crappy wire nuts and corroded cable. Why not just shove it all in the terminal? The earth side was a bit silly too. The battery to body earth had broken on one side and there was a super long cable bolted to another hanging down going across to the left hand side. The motor earth was too small too. I've gone a bit overkill on the new earth as I didn't have the right size crimp. I have some red heat shrink so I'll get rid of the ugly white tape. I'm hoping it starts a bit nicer when this is all done. It probably needs a battery though but i'm living in denial for now. I just realized I forgot about the vsr/second battery but I don't have any cable anyway so it can wait.

I decided double crimps were a bit shit/too hard for someone to replace later so I got some new relays today when I got the correct semi sealed beams. I found the relay bases I got ages ago so it'll look slightly less shit. The cable is way overkill but if you want to go silly and put 1002 bulbs in it'll take it and not melt anything. I've ordered another fuse holder to match as well as I've lost the others. It was also cheaper to get headlight plugs with wires rather than get three crimps and a piece of plastic. I could of saved myself heaps of time by getting china sealed beams but I like having headlights you can see. I pulled some of the wood paneling off in a attempt to pull a wire through for the reverse light. Ol' mate has glued/lined the whole van with polystyrene so if/when we sleep in it it should be less cold

It's even got straightened recycled nails for hanging stuff on. I think I ordered a 1042 headlight instead of a 1043. I'll double check the paperwork tomorrow it may have been incorrectly picked

I got some semi sealed today but got the wrong ones. I think I got the part number 1 digit off. I was all set up with by Barry table and ready to go. The old headlight wasn't quite sealed.. There is a spot of rust starting so I'll wire brush it and flick some paint on at some point. Like any Barry I can't resist a good dumpster dive and got a few rolls of cable when work was having a clear out a while ago. I started making up a loom for relays so I won't burn out the factory wiring. I'll grab some new headlight plugs and fuse/relay holders when I get the correct headlights

You could look into a cheap vsd (variable speed drive) or soft start but you will need draw more power so it might pay to talk to a sparky.

If @Threeonthetree can't collect you around 3 I can

I tidied up the air shock air lines and mounted the fill valve. I mounted a led flood light to use as a spit/reverse light. I'll grab another off Aliexpress because why not. I'll wire them up to a toggle inside so I can have spot or reverse

Fuel filter Didn't fix the low pressure issue in the crx. Time to pull the tank out again. I tried powering the pump to empty the tank and I got about 4 litres out before it started cavitating so something isn't happy there

One step ahead of you. I took the motor out iof ness accord

Can't sleep and I found this http://www.turborx7.com/rereplacement.htm Will be some bedtime reading/so I can find it later

That'd be awesome. I'll need to visit a copy place and take a copy of this and the wiring one

Oh does anyone have recommendations/sources for info /specs before I get on google

It was just going over seals etc. I'll need to work out how to measure everything next to figure out if it is in spec. I'll pull It apart one day and see how fucked everything is Yeah I can see how the costs add up quickly.

I watched the video on rebuilding rotaries and it looks easy enough... When I get my other projects more complete then I'll rip into this. I need to focus on finishing one thing instead of having 3 un finished projects on the go

@AALAWS was up in Auckland and pulled the screen out of the shuttle, we tried to pull the spare out of the parts car but it broke/was a bit shit anyway so I'll have to get a new one. there was a spot of rust starting in the passengers a pillar so I'm glad I got it taken out. On the crx front the reason its not vteccing is the tuner didn't enable it and I forgot he told me. All is well there.I only have to chase the low fuel pressure problem now. I took the vacuum line off the regulator and the pressure jumped up to about 35 psi at idle which is juuust within spec. I know the gauge isn't totally accurate but its a good indicator. I'll try a fresh fuel filter and hopefully that fixes the issue. I put a new one on but that was before the tank got cleaned so it is possibly full of crap. Once I have done that and driven it for another week I'll see how the finances are and possibly book it in for a tune

I picked up some brake fluid the other day and thats as far as I got with bleeding the brakes. My rock auto order turned up. I figured the sway bar will get a workout here since we actually have corners so ordered new bushes. I ordered a fuel filter as its easy to change. One headlight adjuster was stripped and I figured they all would be shit if I didn't replace them. I'll order the semi sealed headlights this week and make a start put them in the back of the van with everything else. There isn't a huge difference between sealed beams and these semi sealed so no point in going for the sealed units imo

I've had a think about all my shit and realized what we already know. I have too many things, so when this is complied I'll have to sell it. last in first out etc Anyone on here potentially interested?
