Seems to be many NV200 Nissan electric vans arriving here in Chch (because flat?).

Anyways

Mayte, if you want a new bike, maybe you should .... buy a new bike?

Nicely done, wedging some torque into the impellor old chap. Nice bit of fettling, that.

Gosh I say, I don't mean to be impertinent, but the commutator did rather catch my eye.

I had a chat to my man Goggle, and he offered this:

I just cant help but a nagging feeling that the someone might have scarpered with a bit of your spinny thing.

but well, it's running fine, so I'm probably just imagining it. So sorry to have troubled you, old bean!

Yeah CANbus is kinda industrialised i2c-ish, but made robust for auto use, and it has deterministic servicing order, so the brake controller messages go through before the one asking if the light for the lip-stick-heater-indicator lamp is on.

How does that work?

Big bike clutch:

many plates sandwich, with alternate plates toothed inward VS outward.

Hooo yeah mang. She's biig country down there. Awse! WD

I had to bend the spring arm a smidge in the regulator feeding the Alt on the Daihatsu to get it to back off a bit.

It was ok just after startup, but after 5 min when it had replaced the starter motor energy, it would go over Volts at high RPM.

The auto sparky who did it last had diddle fingered it.

Which may need cleaning and tightening the connections to the Alt: If it can't see the battery volts well, it'll keep going 'oh shit, too low' and whang more drive in there.

Slop a multimeter on there (volts setting). Analog are good for this job, or better quality digital (true RMS) if you have one.

Some small car enhancements, as opposed to some small car enhancements:

Prius rear-view was vibrating a little on the trapezoid mount on the windscreen. This is a toyerda. We don't need that crap. we have other crap to enjoy.

I got a bit of random skanky hose, put a scallop cut in one end to nudge the mirror stem. Boom. I now have crystal clear view of the cops following me who have zero interest in the Prius I'm driving.

I'd cut down an window shade for the Dai, but it's missing a sun visor to hold the passenger side, so I hot-gooed some left-over Neodymium magnets to it.

Now I don't have to bother fixing the actual problem:

I'm thinking my next fun project will have a SA0v1.69bis standard protocol. That's the Shitty-Add-On 2nd version.

And now for something completely different:

Awesome, didn't know anyone could/had being one in. Pics!

Also install the thermostat fan control or similar (is manual at the mo).

Cover for the starter relay terminals, or rubber boots. To avoid shorts when placing the battery holder rods.

Gave away the Slam-a-que that started this thread on the side of the road.

No Farcebook, no tardme, nothing but space. yeah.

I got rid of this when middy was away, she didn't see it.

2 days later: I want a baby Weber...

Or imperial head with metric thread.

Did the car go for a run?

Meat meet.

Have I got some 10" wheels for you!

PM address also please. I remember Redwood, but can't see the rest just now?

I should add, my personal collection of motors presently includes,

An RB30, and a SBM. 

Pretty much the only you tube vids i watch are engine videos. If i lived in 'murca, then a junkyard LS (for $3-400)  with a wuan war whistle would be a no brainer.  Here the core alone is a few thousand dollars.  

Much as i hate to admit it, Fords RB40DE+T offers a motor which can hold 600hp for an investment of around $2.5k. (Slamming a war whistle straight on a high milage engine is asking for heartache)  obviously for a non roadgoing car, a powerglide makes all the sense for the transmission. Guys like John Farone runs 3000hp through one in his street driven valiant charger.  (I bet theres fuck all original GM parts inside that box) 

I was coming in to suggest 1000V, 1000A, but even my best wild eyed creative shenanigans for thrifty alternatives would cost way more in parts (and I _do_ know some interesting ways of moving electrickery around). That's huge performance for very moderate $, and lots of local expertise.

Niiiiice.

Score us some more titanium / exotic materials offcuts?
