Ignition switches crap out on these pretty commonly.

edit: are you asking for ideas why it won’t start, or a list of common problems with Territory’s?

Or reasons why I shouldn’t just buy it and think about the consequences later 

$600 Barra territory 2005 105k km 

starts when it feels like it / bcm issues what could possibly go wrong and 

Go …

Spare length of bike chain ( 10 or so links ) and a couple of long bolts - great for holding exhausts and swing arms/ frames together

Apparently some machines call 30% positive 70% or some tucked up shit - like whole backasswards to the other manufacturers and yeah it makes tungsten not happy if you set wrong way 

So yours may be minus 30 ?

Been watching a lot of this guy like his plain fucking English approach and covers from simple to in-depth as possible 

Yup got pedal bottle new gloves and all sorts of consumables sitting here - haven’t even opened the boxes yet lol

The way I read the threshold, yes it would need cert as you have to cut (drill holes)

 

 

Nothing new that is being pushed recently ? 
 

So no holes drilled and glue them on with some super sika bond steel glue is all good ? 
 

I guess drilling holes to bolt in a no cert needed half cage would also need cert ? 

So I am hearing a vicious rumour that the bolt on floor stiffeners that are common aftermarket fitted on Mx5s are now something that requires cert ? 

fake news or ? 

^ wow - I use magnets a bit and have never noticed anything that crazy 

Sometimes frames crack but the powdercoat doesn’t til frame failure 

Yup just bought same ac/dc tig and sorted an argon bottle and starter selection of filler rods 

sooo many settings to get head around oh well keeps the old grey matter alive new stuff is always fun

This was winner of the day 

Au falcon fans are a cheap slimline option 

 @NickJ did you get the foot pedal included or did you buy the $ 200 foot pedal seperate ? 
argon reg is included ?

This pic gave me FOMO, have been on the fence about buying a TIG for some time, just hit the go button on one of these:

Best value I could find with proportional foot pedal.....

Big spend tomorrow on all the other bits and pieces, you're a bad man Raizer

Yup been looking at that too - keen to hear your thoughts once you have had a bash with it 

Hmmm does it have the drive gear on the tailshaft to run the vss? Looks easy enough to get drilled/ tapped once you have the housing off the tailshaft

 NC info is scarce prob the least modified model-Aisin 6 speed ? Shares some bits with the Rx8 ? Look at flying miata see how they work around it on their engine conversion ? 

Fuck yeah - show us more  -  best shape falcon ever and a Ute

Mazda and Suzuki did an engine tech swap, Mazda got a kei engine iirc and Suzuki got the V6.

Yes so they shared design tech but not actual block castings or components - that’s why I want a dead Suzuki v6 to compare crossover parts - if any

The differences between the two engines was discussed on this Mazda forum

https://www.mx6.com/threads/suzuki-h-series-motor-the-same-as-mazda-k-series.183027/

Really keen to get one of the Suzuki v6s and sit it in the shed to compare to the kl whether they are based off same design or just happen to be both Japanese alloy 60deg v6s and internet rumours 

If the inlet manifold off the Suzuki fit the Mazda instant win also if the gearbox bolt pattern is close gives a Suzuki rwd or 4wd box but so far looking at inlet gasket pics it’s a no go 

Other major differences I can see already is the oil pump chain driven down in the sump is not easy to modify around 

Cos I ride a European motorcycle I just give a snappy heil hitler wave to anyone else riding a bmw or Ducati 

freaks the fully farkled out adventure tourist cafe racers out 

Realistically I am too scared to let go of the bars if I’m having fun so just the upnod to any rider that looks like they are having fun 

Thanks still trying to track down the sparky who did the work 

if I can’t find him I will hit up the electrical inspector from power board I know 

At a guess it’s the newest on the house board and I suspect it’s 32amp
