Possibly could sponsor a differential pressure transmitter. 4-20mA. I think I have a 10kpa one that is surplus. It has damaged thread on the cable entry so its certification is not valid.

Thanks guys, I'll get hold of ya when I hear back from the guy.

Im looking at a lexus gs350 somewhere near Berhampore? In wgtn. Just got to wait for the seller to get it back from storage. I'm ready to pull the trigger, but just want someone local to check it's not a dog/hidden damage. I'd anybody able to have a quick look for me? I'll post you some beers or something else to enjoy during the coming lockdown

Not far behind....

Took the kids to the caroline bay festival today. A solid 4 boring hours of flat out straight road. Well on the way there it was flat out, the way back was full of bloody caravans Done about 1100 or 1200 miles so far. Hasn't missed a beat. Just rolled over 105,000. Still got the sticker on the windscreen saying next service due @105 or june 2010. So hasn't done a lot of work the last 10 yrs Edit, soz upside down pic. Dunno why. Easier to turn ya phone around.

Action shots! Well some photos at least. I'm shit behind a camera, and forget to take them. Currently in chch on a family holiday of the sth island. Been to Nelson for a bit, over to Takaka, down to Westport then Hokitika and across to chch. Went up to the Denniston Mine. Was quiet so snuck through the barrier for some photos. Did some other stuff too. Discovered the rubber boot thing on the wiper on my side leaks and drips on my foot

@anglia4 I'll be back mid Jan, got a mudbug lined up. Keen to do some exploring.

yea maybe a bit cheap, but its no 240z.. Unfortunately i need the space and the time. Not that this takes a lot of my time. Going to the south island for a month in december, but the wif does not love getting stuck to the vinyl seats. Have been measuring up to fit A/C. Got a vintage air unit i was going to fit to another project so might mash that in

The front spring change made it handle better but made the soft rear springs stand out a lot more. @Bistro had some leaves lying around that looked like they might fit so i engaged the safety squint and split some springs from the parts car Spot the difference No real change in height when relaxed, but around 10mm higher in the car which is what i wanted. The bolt through the leaves was too short, but fyi a chinese honda gx390 headbolt is perfect, even same thread. Had to engage the safety prop under the diff to change the springs out too. has been load tested under heavier things so is only slightly bowed Took the family to the mount for the nth island Datsun Nats over labour weekend. Did heaps of driving. most of it at a fair clip too. Under 10L/100km too. didnt take any photos, but saw this one of FB Im thinking about selling this as i need the space and time to work on my next one.

If your only doing hay, then yes, it will take a lot. But who on here is only going to use them for what they were intended for?

Dusted this off last week to use it next month for a family trip. Wof man did not approve of my 'custom' shocks. I found some old ones from some holden that were a bit short but did the trick. no pics, but you can see the bump stop has been working a fair bit. I was looking at getting some of those air shocks that you can pump up to take some weight, but might trim the bumps a bit first, and look at some new springs I also changed the front springs to HQ super lows. They are 17.5mm vs 16mm wire diameter so a bit harder. the stock trimmed ones felt a bit soft. Done a few kays on them, not sure yet.Think the rear needs to be harder Getting good at changing them, only 15mins a side now so can change back easily. got a bit of a lineup going on.... Probably got enough now.

Have you got a regular set of pullers? I have a China set and bought 2 lengths of 3/8 threaded rod to extend the clamshell bit to allow me to do the same as you have pictured. You might be able to buy some locally. I think I paid $10 for 2m of it

If you peel the top gasket off there will probably be a hole/groove into the base if the carb

Looks like a u11 version

I would try and borrow a sensor to try first, Then 2nd, try new wires from the ecu to the sensor. It could be a bad connection somewhere leaking a bit of voltage into the map signal wire.

Lol, I have a fwd maxima with the early faulty guides. The plastic bit behind the red square slides down and the tensioner hasn't got enough extension to tighten the chain. I have found that if you leave the car off for a week or 2, the piston will retract enough to start the car pinned for a full Italian tune up. The chain goes so fast it pushes the plastic bit up the guide before the tensioner piston can be pushed out and shes fixed for 6 months!

had a mate with a z powered 1200. z18et head, z22 block, z20 crank or something close to that. ran an early link. went very well. plus its nissan lego so mechanically you can do anything. ka24de+t

Can you take a photo of the wiring inside the terminal box of the motor? It says 400v star, (Y) so it should be able to do 230v delta with a Chinese vsd or 2nd hand trademe one. If you can get one cheap it will be the easiest way

@Ja1lb8 made a jig to hold rims for a large wheel importer friend of ours. It was cheaper to buy them blank and drill them to suit, than stock every offset and hole pattern. It was pretty rugged. (the drilling, not the fixture) and they would just go at it and it seemed to be all good. /depends if you have enough meat

can somebody recommend me a fuel pump for my datsuns? one of them has an inline electric pump, the inline vibrator type ones, that has been running sweet for a long time. I bought another cheap one and it lasted a disappointingly long 45 seconds. @Carsnz123 was lol at my misfortune. the trademe seller refunded me the money straight away and said dont bother sending it back, obviously no great loss... I dont want a mechanical one as they are often parked up for ages, and the carb dries up so i have to crank for an eternity to get fuel back to the carb. also dont want one that sounds like your mums half flat vibrator like my current one

Vacuum brake booster leak? Cant remember if you were running a booster. Try disconnect that?

Yea that loop that went through the TB bled the rear ridge to the front right? Can you just whack a bit of hose in to let any steam/bubbles through to the front?

Was that TB water feed also a bit of a bypass/air bubble bleed that you have removed? Could you try reinstall it bypassing the tb?

thats the idle air (AAC valve) behind the throttle cable bracket. give that a strip and clean first the 2nd throttle cable attachment is for the cruise control actuator cable, and the cam bit behind that is to make the throttle open slowly at first to make it easier to control at low rpm that black cylinder is the traction control motor. it drives a 2nd butterfly in front of the main throttle and shuts when it detects you having fun

pics of throttle body? from memory the 41 has a wax thermostat expandy thing on the bottom of the throttle body that ups the idle for cold start and the hot water pipes warm it up and make it back off. could be sticky. or as above, pull the aac valve off and give it a lube up
