    I didn’t even get mine running, failed to connect. Got the code on it but never got a connection again. spoke to a couple people, they said the earlier boards with just two layers are far better. yeah man I drive by sometimes and keep saying to my self to flick you a message. is the one with roof racks your sisters?
  3. Ashkellybarr
    I had the same thing with the ms i built, multi layer boards are garbage. nice to see you still have it after all these years nice wheels.

    Made some good progress today. stripped more. Ended up getting rid of the plastic covers on the rear of the head altogether. this meant getting rid of the connector block with comb style links. throttle position changing to the front of the engine, pretty much all air sensors/solenoids have to move. this has left the injectors far to long, witch isn’t an issue as I’ve got to change the plugs away, so I’ll cut it all back and reuse the factory plastics as cable support. need to change the plugs as Honda do their own style of injectors. Msel have Bosch 730’s that are batch matched for some of the best pricing I could find. I’ll need extending cups due to the odd length as well and use ev6 ls2 plugs. added a 5v core from the ecu to the sender location, but I’ll leave it unwrapped until I see where boost solenoid and IAT sensors are going. I use bootlace crimps with the coloured feral cut off. Coppers twisted together to the same thickness as the insulation then the crimp hangs over and gets crimpped down onto the insulation as well, for strength and help against metal fatigue on the strands. larger ones that aren’t in line are just twist, crimp with longer crimps. Heat shrink, fold the end over, and head shrink again to seal it off from liquids.

    Started sorting out the loom and removing things not needed. they run two ECT sensors, one being in the bottom the the rad also two speed sensors off the gearbox. theres a plastic casing that sits on the back of the head witch houses a collection 0v, 12v perm,12v ecu and 5v. although the casing is on the back the head I might be able to rework it to the back of the intake. Try hide it and utilise as much factory loom as possible. ive split the E-throttle into a seperate loom altogether. want to swap out the oil sender for a press sensor to get proper reading, guys normally T off for the turbo at this point but would think that leads to inaccurate readings should the turbo flow a lot of oil?? ill post some photos when I’ve started adding wiring. Need to cut and reweld my manifold adapter too so the turbo sits closer and lower but that will haft to wait till I’ve finished moving

    Agreed, it’s come this far!

    Cabs got some rust and dent from people putting stuff on the roof. Not really fussed on what it looks like but I need to look after the cab against rust at least for wof’s. took the worst back to bare metal and acid washed it then sealed it with some epoxi primer. still need to do rear behind the tray but that can’t wait till I’ve got my workshop setup. went to car colour and picked up paint for the cab. he asked how he could help when I walked in, said I wanted some red paint. Looked at me like I was some pleb. he had a look at the chassis tag, and sure enough it just says red. He looked it up in the system and it was just listed as red.. looked at me and laughed and said “ya weren’t joking were ya” its NZ new 1985 and for some reason the tag dosent have much on it aside from vin and red haha picked up full EFS kit as well. Gotta measure and change the mounts for the front shocks so it’s good I got the +50mm ones off Kris I can run till I get that sorted
  8. Ashkellybarr
    Let me know if you do. but you should still finish it

    Things to do... welds on the cross support on the front seat have broken so need to weld that up. the spring wire thing under the front seat are snapped as well so I’m pretty much just sitting on the floor so need to sort that out. No idea where to get old school seat springs??? go a workshop manual too so can start getting it running better, think is just the timing. get steel and start making rear tow bar and front bar, both with built in recovery points. i replaces the rear brake cyl and shoes as well so my hand brake now works again, hopefully it won’t roll down the hill away from me again. hand brake leavers on the side of the drums are still from dirt etc so I’ll pull them apart and regrease it all. also snapped you this OS OEM roof basket witch is sweet. Alloy too in keeping with the light weight theme. think it’s factory option for a 60 series landy but it all bolts/rivers the same as the tray so can make it fit and now update my JDM fuck boy status up another notch once I get some racks to mount it on

    Treated my self for Christmas. bumper was in bad shape and indicator hanging on with a wood screw and penny washer. brand new repo bumper, end caps and indicator was a little over $200. indicator fitment wasn’t great but I made it work. picked up an LSD as well, so once I fucking find my verniers I’ll get some shim steel. its an odd type of lsd, works on centre spring pre load. One in my other car is Cusco clutch plate with a cam, works bloody well, I’m sceptical of this pre load thing. but it was cheap and better then an open so meh. its from a 90’s so apparently the bearings are bigger so need to figure out what bearings to get, once that’s done.. put the shimmed one with the bigger bearings in the rear. then shim the original one back to factory spec and put it in the front. since it doesn’t have a cam and works on proloaded plates I’m assuming it’ll operate like a 2way, in witch I want to be careful how much I shim the front one or it will be a nightmare and dangerous on the road. Picked up some second hand EFS shocks off Kris witch is good as mine are stuffed and still have Toyota stamped on them. Kris was a g and took me for a hot lap in his crumpy too, animal thing! feels super similar to ATV things I’ve driven, much like

    Cheers, only 4. Two the nuts snapped off, the other has rounded out the bumper. might get new ones so their nice and square and I can put something on the thread to stop it from corroding
  12. Ashkellybarr
    Hey guys! where could I buy some button head bolts like this for my chrome bumper? cheers in advance
  13. Ashkellybarr
    Second that, looks really tidy dude! if you need any parts body parts there’s a company in chch advertising on trademe that do brand new repo parts. I got a couple things last week so we’ll see how they line up
  14. Ashkellybarr
    So this turned up! Pretty stoked haha defiantly going on the garage wall with the winning slip from my DYO win haha thanks for sending this though Brent! These stickers are dope to! Old DEKA is pretty sweet! many thanks to organisers, had a good laugh and nice to check out other builds from the page. as anyone could tell it still runs like crap, might be going unconditional on a house this week so spare time and funds have been short, and probably will be through into the new year but I’ll keep tinkering with it. and fingers crossed with my own garage, be able to get my other cars up to a road worthy standard for next years drags.... maybe. I’ll get Matt to send through the video of me getting smoked by the yellow moped P.S if anyone has a photo of this crumpy lined up next to the GTR please send it through

    Nice seeing this in person on Saturday man! Super nice car you’ve built
  16. Ashkellybarr
    It lives! its mayden voyage from kumeu to te Atatu went without a hitch it is hilariously slower though haha I’ll play with the carb some more and see if I can get it from low 30 1/4 miles back into the 20’s
  17. Ashkellybarr
    Got it sorted now but thanks for the offer! just ground notch’s into the ends, worked a treat
  18. Ashkellybarr
    Awesome cheers kris! Will keep an eye for another LSD. my thoughts were to look out for a half decent LSD for the rear then swap the sloppy factory one in the front. Maybe shim it back to factory spec but nothing to fancy, just enough to help off road.
  19. Ashkellybarr
    Ground some notches in the C clips with a thin disc on a grinder. Made it miles easier!! so it’s wheels on and plodding around a paddock. only thing now is getting it running well, witch is proving a lot harder then I thought. has some weird solenoid that makes it idle with out the choke that’s feed from some very 80’s looking emissions looking box. unfortuntly the shorted it out and can’t find the fuse for it. jammed 12v on it and it seems to work when warm. Still runs like a bag of dicks and the idle and enrichment screws do fuck all. Pretty unhappy atm. might tinker with the factory carb this week, really the last thing I want to be doing, and hope of OS drag week are looking slim for the DYO slayer
  20. Ashkellybarr
    Got it running on the new carb, only idles with the choke so need to spend some time setting it up. But it runs and doesn’t leak so thats a win for this week. got the wheel bearings too. At $150 they cost x5 what the carina ones did, and $40 for diff fluid too. apprently old factory lsd’s fit in the front so might look into that too
  21. Ashkellybarr
    Cheers will double check that! And defiantly the right tool for the job! I asked some mates if they had any like that but no luck. ended up using my rounded ones, but holding a flat head against one side of the clip with the side of my hand so it opened more on the other side. while levering the screw driver and holding the c clip plyers in one hand I got a flat head in the other hand to try hook under the lifted side. lots of cursing as you could imagine
  22. Ashkellybarr
    Carb crapped it self and started leaking fuel, motors non cross flow to so straight onto the exh manifold, mint. thankfully these things are really popular in the states and parts are cheap on eBay, seal kit was $120 or whole new carb for $210. Should take 3 or so weeks to turn up so thought I’d work on some other things while I wait on that. Like the swivel hubs I’ve been putting off for some time.. Rebuilding swivel hubs sucks dick. NZAD did a really good kit that came with a bucket load of shims and good quality seals witch was around 100 and something. I’ll go to saeco tomorrow and get new wheel bearings and C clips that have plyer holes. factory ones don’t and left me throwing tools around in anger for some time
  23. Ashkellybarr
    Trashed the tits off it. Got it completely air borne witch was pretty sweet. Steering wheels on the piss now. check YouTube for a decline where the rear started to lift and come around. dug out by safs and landys, pretty much just coasted down on my diffs found a place called church (check rd sign) that was well setup and spent some time smoking and drinking there before coming back to civilisation
  24. Ashkellybarr
    Fresh wof! ...and a hole I need to fill...
  25. Ashkellybarr
    With wof at the end of the month thought I better sort me shit and get it ready. For the past two months the tray has only been held on by two m14 bolts. that and mud flaps, got some flaps on super cheap but their a bit small. Should be sweet for wof, I’ll keep an eye out for plastic to make some more. new tail exhaust too. Took it from 1.75” to a mighty 2” and the muffler from 600mm to 500mm.
