Thanks for feedback can't wait to get on road

Het guys really struggling to find a panel beater in auckland to have my car ready by hanmer meet .. anyone no someone keen on cashie in PM me Ok so I put the eclectic dizzy n ignitor in and I couldn't get the car to start I had it sparking n wanting to start but when I turned key back off the start position it would like die / stop running.. unsure of why just yet. Also put some new shocks in the front and put some proper lowering springs in so now sits at 100 mm off cross member ! Also after geasing through the show us ya sheds thread I decided to build me a work bench . 3.6 m x 600 mm deep. Haven't finished shelving units etc ran out of timber ! Also took the car outside n gave a quick wash engine bay was getting dusty ! Arse still needs to come down by about 20 mm to match front but will do that last . Thanks for looking

Cheers bro . All going well I'll be driving it to hanmer meet

Some goodies showed up today yay . Near new 12 volt coil and external ignitor for my 18rgu dizzy ! No more guessing with my 18r dizzy time to install em !

Time for a new page

Yeah I'll investagate it further tonight cheers

You could always fold a section of the edge over so you can fit wheel back in then bend back into place? Looks different to my corona. But maybe the balls are the same I have full spare set of winders I'll look 2m

Pretty excited for this keen to see people's setups eat some sweet meat out of the bbq trailer n enjoy some yarns with people I have not met yet !! Win/win much excite

Update . Changed pressure sensor over. oil light stays off completely now . It turned on with start up n then went off bit now doesn't come on at all after few start ups I'm guessing because pressure has built up inside the sensor ? It doesn't come on when accelerating anymore either. My sensor from other car looked abit rusty on the outside caseing weather that means anything or not . I also unplugged wire n earthed it on the engine but didn't get no oil dash light . Lol seems to come when It chooses Also found out 18rgeu oil filters r bloody different from 18rgu . This was the only one I could see that super cheAP had listed ... 18rgeu are a little longer which foul on the intake :/ so it doesn't bloody fit !! Now redundant prob wont let me return it either fml .

Just got oil filter from super cheap auto 18r oil pressure sensor 15 bucks

Hi boxed yeah sounds similiar .. I have an 18r at home which I'll be switching the sensor over tonight so will let ya no how I get on . Pretty sure you can buy em for fuck all from supercheap n the likes of them tho

Yesh the one on right is in my 18r so Ill switch em over 2m n hopefully go a test drive down the road !! Much excite

Yeap that should solve problem I'll change over 2m long with manky filter

This is where I plugged into . Old photo

Def one on left . The connector is a small circle that the plug sit's over its right below oil filter

Yup ill have to buy one n replace that filter with a new one n go from there . Unless anyone in south auckland area has 1 I could borrow for a couple nights

Hey guys just got a question regarding my 18rgu.. Its a low km engine . I replaced the oil when I got it (I didn't change filter yet as planned on dropping oil again say after a few hundred kms . My oil pressure sensor I think is hooked up . Connected it to the little dome at the arse end of the oil filter with plug to match. Now I haven't driven this on the road yet just had it idling at home . When I turn the engine over the light comes on and turns off after couple seconds as it should . But when I look closely I can see the light flickering it's so dim you would miss it unless I pointed it out. Altho . When I accelerate it comes on bright until the Revs drop back to idle. The oil is exactly the right amount in there. Any ideas or should I be worried ? When I remove the sensor when engine is running the oil light on the dash doesn't come on ? Have I connected it in wrong or is some gunk blocked somewhere ? I changed sumps engine is clean as inside and oil pick up filter is crystal clean no gunk on sump etc etc Now that I'm writing this I've prob answered my own question .. engine hasnt been started in 20 years but always turned over manually meaning that oil filter is prob from the 80s... could that cause the light to come on ? Any light on this would be good cheers.

Hey guys 2 weeks since I've updated this haha haven't been doing nothing . Been re assembling everything . Managed to sus out the loom so can turn over using key now . Picked up a nardi steering wheel off another os member . The muppet I got the bosskit of todsy which I was told "it'll def fit" doesn't . The horn bits don't line up will need another . Just put it on to check it out.. I'll be taking it to get polished to remove some light scratches in the chrome at some stage but ok foe now I no my dash is cracked n fucked .. I really wanna get it upholstered but some of the bottom of the dash has cracked so I won't be doing it until I get the missing bits I need and also a new lower dash section but that can wait. It's annoying me how it's cracked .. ohwell time will get me a better condition one . I'm after a w50 shifter if anyone has one lying around since mine is bent to fuck !! New toyo t1rs 225/40/r14 to replace the super stretched 185/50/r14s currently on the rears .. means I got 2 spares for the front now choooice Will get them taken off bead n re assemble when I can . Have borrowed a guard roller but need tyres on before I make a start on it. Even tho the clock is showing 420 n I'd love to keep it that way I will be removing that and replace with a 4" smiths rev tacho at some stage . Not a priority tho Used plastidip satin black for behind grill makes easy removal if ever needed . Also gave my headlight surrounds and bonnet hinges a lick of satin black to complete the look Panel beater coming to look tomorrow .. if anyone knows any panel beaters keen on some work PM me thanks. And finally I have a lot of spares . I will be keeping all panels and glass . I have pretty much full 2nd set of interior plastic . Rt100 dash . Couple cracks tho .. n shit loads of other rt100/104 stuff if you need anything pm me i may have it. Only parting with OS members as I no the troubles it can be sourcing it all. Made up a new radiator overflow out of 6 mm copper . I wouldn't mind making all my washer lines out of 6 mm copper aswell it would look pretty cool in my opinion . Need 2 grab some new 40 mm hose clamps for radiator hoses and a new battery for her n I can do some tests make sure my lights etc are working let car warm up to temp might even go for a drive up the road Thanks for looking

Who's is ?

Also interested in this . Brother has a 66 price n finding wheels to fit his is a no go this may be solution

Got all the panels back on . Just need to paint bootlid hinges before putting that on . Will muck around with the dash n try get that in this week n try run a new cable from starter motor to ignition / switch . Also need to finish accelerator set up n bleed brakes . Put radiator in so I can go for a drive up the road Anyhow after a good garage clean this is how it sitz. Pics of everything ! Until next time... Thanks for looking

UP date ! Managed to get it all in . Clutch fork in and working. Used 18r auto 3 speed gbox cross member which bolted onto w50 gearbox. I've almost finished my modified accelerator cable set up but got side tract re assembling all my bits n pieces !! Much excite ! Also figured out the springs in the front will need changing a scizzor jacks stuck under cross member ! A picture speaks a thousand words .. Lots more assembling to be done then will sand back some off the car before dropping off to panel beaters to prep for paint. Am hoping to have it finished by August 21st Giving me a week of test driving before hanmer meet !

Zebra dudes shed is bloody awesome I vouch for that so much cool shit ! And more chaps to discuss what motor to put in that blue bubble of porn (sr20det)
