I should buy this rx7 and use the motor in mine until it goes bang. What I am most interested in is the factory airbox though. oh and ness has decided she likes the sound of a bridge port. I told her she can buy the porting template and I'll have a go at it

I've fixed the first post so the pictures actually work now. I've put the radiator support panel on and started bolting everything up. I thought I probably should turn it over since its been sitting for so long. With glens help I chucked the battery cables on and it fired up with a good dose of ether. Thats probably going to be all I do on it for the next few months

x2, It looks heaps better now

Does it do it all the time? Give the airflow meter a clean. Try unplug it and it should go into limp mode and be down on power but should be smooth. Or another thing could be low fuel pressure/flow

Same here! I can't think of a more fun collection of things to kill myself on

I fitted the spring today without too much drama I also replaced the sway bar bushes too. The lights turned up from aliexpress last week I mounted them today and ran out light so I'll wire them up tomorrow

fuck yeah, please tell me you are going to get ali express injected IDF bodies

I think that is some of the problem. I'll bung the camera in and check out that area again. The coating does look pretty thin on the bottom of the tank so who knows. not really, prior to the por-15 I had been fucking around with the electrolysis and it has many many rinses cleans before the por stuff went in. Unless I couldn't get the metal ready to every surface due to the baffles etc

No idea. There seems to be heaps of little balls which are soft until the fuel evaporates? Either way they have blocked the pump pickup filter and there are many more of them still in the tank

Today started off well with the tank in the crx... The theme continued when I attempted to bleed the brakes on the van. I got fresh fluid to the drivers rear all ok, then when I took the cap off to top the front reservoir up and when the mrs pressed the brake it sprayed everywhere. The cap went back on and the passengers side went nicely but then the drivers side bleed nipple snapped off. For the sake of $40 ish us I'll get a new master cylinder and I'll take the caliper off and give it to someone else to wreck.

So I thought maybe the baffle/fuel pump bowl was gummed up or the pump was too high. Nope to both of them. I drained the tank through a filtering tea towel and there is heaps of shit. There is a stabbed tank at pick a part so I'm thinking about getting that and braising/patching up the hole.

Another update. I don't know wtf is going on there possibly some of the coating is failing or coming off?

I took the leaf spring that was damaged out and dropped it off to archers. They have repaired it and it's good to go, ill have to arrange to get it collected next week. If I remember rightly it's about 70 plus gst for the repair. I'm stoked with that

I've had mixed results with the supplied caps on china rads, most of them have failed or been shit on arrival

That is cool, basically a newer version of the 74141 ic

I am intending on using the 74141 driver chips. They need have 4x inputs high or low 5v to display the required number. Most nixie clock kits using arduino or found don't use said chips

Neither can the Mrs puukuu I got a arduino starter kit ages ago. Dies anyone have recommendations on learning how to code? I want to make some displays with my nixies at some point.

Mayte the throttle is pinned just go 80 don't need to chop any gears

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
