Yea exactly. My mates did it without the slots but I think they have to pull the motor out to get the tank off.

I think they tapped a new hole in the back of the tank as there was spare steel for them to do that.

my China tank is different and the hose comes out in the wrong spot to move it over.

I think the DEK or the orange motor has a tank with the filler right at the front and the tank is easy to move over also.

I'll do it one day..

I also need to move my fuel tank over as the filler is under the frame rail. 

I have a yellow titan brand motor and the tank does not move across as easily as some of the other china copies so i am still battling to fill it....

yea check for crud under the rocker cover, they get coked up bad and chew out the cams if the oil has not been regularly changed.

also, the timing chain hits the guard between the cam pulleys when the tensioner gets fucked and makes it rattle bad on startup. if you notice the chain is a bit slack, and it has a bit of a rattle on startup only, knock him down on price and then replace the cam chain tensioner for $50 and your golden

Yea good idea. I'm on call this week. anytime after is good.

have you got a 4wd? I have another datto I need to drag from one shed to the new one.

Done some more work

and then 7am this morning

What ecu are you running? I'm 95% sure that on 100% of aftermarket ecu's you hook up your tps Then set it at zero then mash the pedal and set it at 100%. Then it does not matter what ratio of mover it has relative to the actual butterfly opening.

It is good to have as much sensor movement as you can for better resolution.

What's the deal with ordering tools like knipex pliers from Germany? Do any of the sellers on there ship stuff over here? Also do you have to watch out for border tax?

I just bought direct from a seller on ebay Germany that shipped to nz. Total cost was under the 300 or 400 nzd cut off for get and got to my door in a week.

Sorry I didn't know those kind of things were top secret.

6 years ago my workmates in the UK had them in their work vehicles so they could do homers on the weekends.

Forgot to add, I'm with the immobilizer option .

freezing carb, then points and dizzy if its got them.

e13's are surprisingly resistant to being cooked. i did 2 demo derbys on the same motor and the rad hose popped of right at the start both times.

+1 KoKen 1/2 set. A fine tooth ratchet would make it better.

All of my pliers, cutters, and multi grips are knipex. not that cheap buy you can buy them in various sets on ebay Germany for 1/2 the price here. I have all sizes of knipex cobra multi grips and I give them shit. I'm a big guy and I often find myself hanging all my weight on the handles of the 300 mm pair. The stud will snap before the jaws let go!

wiha insulated screwdrivers are good. Also buy on eBay Germany for half the price. Keep them clean with gritty hand cleaner and they will stay all lush and new looking. I work on live 230 and 400v every day with them.

Powerboat spanners are good value for money. I have a set that I cut and bend to suit tight places.

Stay clear of SP tools. I have a socket set and ratchet spanners that are rat shit. I needed them in a hurry for a job and they were available. They also had v8 supercar tax on them.

JBS ratchet spanners are much better and a bit cheaper.

My mate had the same chip burner. It had a 21 kw wetback in it! He heated a 3 bedroom house near the snow line on mt taranaki in the winter easy.

Got back from chch last night. Around 2100km total by the time i went and caught up with some mates and a bunch of chch OS gc's.

Bit heavy on the way back.

2x l28, 1x h190 diff head, 1x datsun 430 front suspension complete, a bunch of concrete garden ornaments from the in-laws, a pair of KEF home speakers (about a ton each), a whole pile of baby related shit, blah blah blah

just off the bumps at the back

These fuckin hubcaps are terrible for falling off. Nearly lost another one and i checked them all at wanganui

I unloaded using the ray approved method. couple of pallets and a few old tyres on them and just push the motors out the back

Now im going to sit back and drink beer until my 90 deg speedo drive box turns up and my shed is finished

Should be able to split the calipers and machine them down to correct width.

Done this before. Easy to do. Take the same off each half. Keep the o ring hole the same and it will be sweet.

Don't know if its applicable where you are but careful they don't hit you with a fill cert for >600mm.

Also is that a panther?

N/A already signed off. The floor is not a structural part of the shed so anything goes.

Yes it is a panther. It bites me when I don't feed it at 6 am sharp, or if I don't leave it any milk in my weetbix bowl.

And it thinks I need more killing practise cos it brings me live animals at night

Yea keen. Will be there Sunday night leaving Saturday morning. Going to Brockys Monday afternoon to scab some parts but otherwise no plans yet.

Done some more work. Got a lot of fill in there and levelled most of it. 

Got the base of the all important hoist marked out and dug out to be 200mm thick

Then i rolled it with my work car until my clutch leg got sore but i couldn't get all the edges. I hired a compactor after work today and pushed it round until my hands went numb. I also left it on autopilot here and there....

Just use a sash clamp to pull the motor forward on the slots and do up the bolts. Then you won't need a tensioner

Just get a manual box, flywheel and clutch, gearbox mount, clutch pedal and clutch master cylinder.

I have done it on a couple of U12's and it's pretty easy if you have the parts. Easiest would be to buy a damaged or rusty manual one and have it beside your car so you can just swap all the parts that are different.

Also you will have to short out the park/neutral switch from the auto gearbox so it will start.

It'll be it. It's carby. Check your float bowl, it could have electronic ignition but there's an equal chance it's still points so check those too and your condensor. Best option would be to get some twin or triple carbs, put them on and tell that single 2BBL Hitachi to eat a dick.

Looks like points from the turners photos.

Sounds like a fuel related issue. these carbs have a window on the front to check the float level. Just need to pull the air cleaner off. Also it's electric fuel pump and in my experience they die once they have some age on them and get parked up for a while. So check that too.

If you change to twin or triple carbs, I'll buy the one you have now
