Oh. And mothballs. Pour 2 bags of mothballs through your car and they'll leave it alone. And your passengers eyes will water until they roll down a window.

Tame a feral cat and they not only catch rats but make great pets. (people say you can't. you can, if you're me, it takes a while though)
Peanut butter on a soda can suspended over a hole. They jump on the can & it turns, they fall in the hole.Or ferment a 2,000 litre tub of fruit & they come to get the fruit, co2 gets them & they fall in...

Haha. Was trying to hook it up to my little transmitter. It was based on blink.

COM 4 wasn't responding, i re-installed the drivers and plugged it into a different serial port and it started responding again as COM 5. Stupidly forgot to test which fix it was.
I'll just guess a cooked my USB port by plugging it in while the car was running.Beats me why this doesn't flash at 20ms intervals

avrdude: ser_open(): can't set com-state for "\\.\COM4"
An error occurred while uploading the sketch
This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.What does this mean? Did i fry it again?

Weld. Machine for whatever wheel nuts suit the car, or whatever is available.
Plugs on wheel stud holes sounds kind of dumb. -

Tell me more about the chrome vinyl wrap......
It's a metallized plastic, i believe they use real silver, which seems wasteful to me could be aluminuim. In a slightly stretchable adhesive form like duraseal book covering, apply with a heat gun to make it pliable, don't stretch too far or it losses it's chrome look.

Much like that product.-

Fibreglass, smooth, paint silver then apply chrome vinyl wrap. I did this and nobody ever noticed. Well... after 2 years someone noticed where the wrap was fading & had a stone chip. When the wrap fades you can peel it off & apply new stuff.

I'm rough & brutish but i use meths, acetone, blow a handful of chalk over it & it'll how up the big cracks. If you can find that sort of thing in one day & it passes that test then you might want to use a bought in kit. Or not, depends on how rough you are.

As in body fill lead? Does it help take some of the harshness out of it?
Fishing sinkers, solder, any lead. It flexes takes the worst of the shock loading.

Weird seeing an O2 sensor on a 4K.
Back in my day people welded diff's. I would rather pour lead in them. The axle shafts will thank you.
So... what will you do about the rear bumper?

Fleetpartners also complained that the spark plugs were $57 dollars each and that they could have got them in Auckland for $55.
They then tried to say that next time they would ship the spark plugs done. And that it could take 48 hours meaning my car would be off the road for 2 days instead of 2 hours.
Fleet partners suck.
2 days of stuffing around to save less then $20?
How povo' are they? That's something my old fuckwit boss would have done.-

So some of you are really into programmable ignition and electronic sensors.
I tried to make my own electronic ignition.
After 3 seconds one of the MOSFETS running a coil shorted out.
After 7 seconds all of them had.
Each mosfet was rated at 20 amps. But considering they were dealing with the primary and ... lets face it. some of the secondary output (These old timers are like that) i don't think they were up to the million volt task.
At least 2 hall effect sensors survived. Barely.

Hear it running. I heard one of those V6 on full throttle today & it sounded amazing. Mind you buying a car on the sound it makes has bought me money pits over the years but... you have to pay the cost to be cool.

60k for an r100 is a bargain
I remember someone sent one with plates on hold to the crusher 1 decade ago for being "rusty." Not beyond hope though.
We all said he was a fool.
In hindsight we were right.-

If you're willing to settle for an auto a 1UZ with falcon rear suspension swap should be easy enough for someone i know.

Best way to attach a bracket to heater motor

Or solder. Or drill small indents in the housing for grip & use an epoxy.
