Kaiser X4.. Oldschools most ridiculous project ever?....
Bombsquad replied to Bombsquad's topic in Other Projects
So today we made it fly... Followed by a truck ride And now its here.. In the next few weeks we have a big container shelter/workshop arriving and we will start tearing it down to be blasted and painted. -
Cant be any more work than adding a pump and in line reg?

Hey team , need some advice from the fuel gurus. I have two cars and no fuel pumps.. First car: 3sge in an altezza. stock fuel pump is gone so im going to make a plate for the top of the fuel tank (where the factory in tank pump goes) with an aftermarket pump fitted to it (not in the tank). Question: Whats the best aftermarket pump for a stock 3s, do i need an external reg? (as I believe beams motors dont run return lines). Second car: 1jz in a soarer. (big turbo lots of ad ons etc). Car was running stock fuel tank with the factory pump running as a lift pump to a surge tank, then an unknown pump running to motor. Ive removed the stock tank and pump and am building a alloy fuel tank so I need another lift pump to start with, then ill worry about changing the other pump later if need be. Please can someone who knows their stuff recommend me the best pumps to buy for volume and pressure etc?

Poor thing in its current state, however there is hope on the horizon! Some time before xmas it will be moved from this current yard into our new yard and into a workshop, where will begin the tear down and sandblasting- 30 replies

There have been a few of them in and out of NZ, the one you have there has since been sold overseas back to Europe (I spoke with him about it when he had it). There are currently three in the country to my knowledge, Karls one in Cambridge, mine in Hamilton and there was one in Christchurch that the guy was trying to sell which may have gone overseas as well. The problem with them is they are huge money ($350k new), take a very long time to learn to operate to their full potential, and you cant just chuck anyone on them like a regular digger. So its hard for someone to outlay that kind of coin and then cop the loss until its paid for and starts turning a profit. That and NZ on the whole doesnt have the extreme conditions they really thrive in so its hard for people for justify the extra hourly rate over a conventional digger, as I said earlier mine is really just a toy (though it will have to earn its keep on the odd extreme demolition job). -
Nautical Barrys are some of the best Barrys

Stability, maneuverability and working envelope. It weighs 7 tonnes, uses a 12 tonners attachments and has the hydraulic punch of a 20 tonner. They work in water as they can jack themselves up, and work on steep terrain as the legs allow it to level out on the hillside where a normal machine would tip over. -

This is the only X2 in NZ and none in Oz afaik, there was a first gen one there but i dont think its around now. They are more common in Europe where they are made, and theres 3 main factories making them now (Kaiser, Menzi and some other one who ripped off Kaiser way back.) The chinese tried building them XCG made one and so did someone else but theirs were rubbish and the working environments for these machines are not great for Chinese steel. -

Has 12 rams and two wheel motors running off two pumps, flows 170 litres a minute (nearly 3 litres a second!) at 250 bar working pressure. -

Not mine obviously, but this is a pretty good way to shed some light on what they are and do, and how they "walk" compared to a regular machine.- 30 replies

At 9 pm we left Opotiki bound for Hamilton. at 2:30 I finally made it into bed.. absolutely wrecked (and with a log book full of creative time lines). Today was her first wash in over 10 years, you can almost see the potential And just because we all love original owners manuals -

Loading her up. This was a nightmare.. It doesn't run so no hydraulics, which meant cutting hoses and allowing the bleed out of the legs so we could move them manually. Obviously the flip side of this means they went wherever the fuck they wanted and with a machine weighing 7 Tonne this made things farking hard!! In the end it took 6 hours, 4 of us, 2 block n tackles, the hydraulic winch of the transporter (snapped its cable twice) and a very underpowered old tractor- 30 replies
