I did diff breathers the other week. Should prob do gearbox for friday also

Light bar seems like a stupid fail. I got a wof with the spotties

Worth bringing a chainsaw @Mof?

I'll have a fire extinguisher. Prob a small shovel and some basic first aid Got no recovery gear though. Getting a uhf this arvo

Yes

How much water are we expecting @Mof I as if yet havnt added longer breathers to the cruiser. Its got the factory ones that go up to the floor but that's it

That reminds me. I should go get a radio for the cruiser

It's a proven fact that supercats and rain add 500hp to any eninge. Otherwise how else would my ms65 with a 5m be able to do skids ?

Pick apart for some 10$ supercats m9

@yetchh How much time on acc are you getting for your finger? I just had almost 5 weeks from doing a similar trick cutting firewood up. It was a bit munched

Orange peel is part of painting. Some 2k color and thick high build clears can be loaded on to be smooth but if takes practice to know how much to not get runs. In the industry we flat and buff almost everything we do just because it's a quick easy way to remove bits of dust from the paint and get the repaired panel looking the same as the rest of the car More often than not the orange peel that most home painters get is from either incorrect air pressure (2.0 bar is a good all round setting)* or not putting a wet enough coat on and there isn't enough paint build up to actually self level and smooth out. A slightly wetter coat will often solve this . *not an exact setting for every gun. But just a good starting point for the home jobs with cheaper guns

At work For water cooled engines we just paint them with the same paint you do the panels in. Motors don't get that hot in the grand scheme of things. I don't imagine an air cooled engine would get any hotter really? Epoxy and a quick scuff with some scotch brite and then paint it what ever color you want will be quite sufficient

Couple hundy when I did mine. Pays to get a 2hr session when doing your basic handling. Yes most/all places doing a basic handling will have a gn125 to pest round on

Yeah keen I'll try do a 2" lift and 33s by then will make life a bit less towbar dragging

Got sick of bo sounds Added a headunit to the dash, 4" jvc speakers to the a pillars and some 6x9s in boxes courtesy of @- i5oogt - behind the seat

Did some work on it tonight. I put brake pads and shoes in it the other weekend. New front pads pushed the pistons in so the rusty bit was on the seal and they dragged pretty bad. Took then apart sandblasted the caliper and cleaned up the pistons. They're a little pitted but I figure they'll be fine for now. Fitted them this arvo. Stops better now Also fitted the spare properly Next step is get a wof So this can happen

No relevant pictures. But I fixed the rust in the floor the other weekend. It's a fair bit quieter to drive with no holes in the floor. Have used it to move firewood around and dump some green waste for my nan

If only there was a plate of some sort on the front and rear of the vehicle with letters and numbers of some sort that could be put Into a website to bring up details about the vehicle ?

Foot flat for 12kms from culverdon to balmoral reserve this was maximum speed Oh and the speedo read like 8kms fast...... Shes not winning any races

Bit of details It's a 1995 nissan 720. Has a sd23 2.3 non turbo diesel. Making a cuntsmashing 73hp. 5 speed floor change. 206,000kms allegedly genuine. I almost believe to be true as it drives so nice and it's not completely worn out. Also the old Barry I got it off didnt seem like the sort of person who would wind it. Real povo spec. Dash doesn't even have a trip meter. Gave it a decent clean after work today. Got all the takaka dirt and spiderwebs out of the dash. Blacked the tires and washed the body. Almost looks presentable What are my plans for it? I dont know. Has a few rust holes in the floor that I need to deal with. But likely slam and differnt wheel. And maybe zutututututu Who knows

Long story short @- i5oogt - @azzar and myself were in takaka to buy yet another mk2 Mirage . The car was in the impound yard at Orange mechanical also in takaka. We went for a wander around their yard and in their , to be crushed pile was this cream nissan 720 no wheels. No bumper or plates. On closer inspection it had two rego labels........ It failed a wof on rust in the floor. The owner not wanting to spend the money getting it fixed. Decided it was the end of the road for the little ute. Strange since hed owned it for nearly 20years and had never taken it out of the valley. After contacting the owner a deal was struck and plates and wheels were obtained from his possession. The wheels having 4 near new maxxis commercial tyres. First hurdle was the takaka hill..... in a sd23 powered ute Not to be scoffed at the little ute chugged up the hill in 4th gear most of the way. (Had to find 3rd for the real tight corners). The sd23 was quickly proving itself as a force to be reckond with A quick stop in motueka to wash the moss and lichen off using @Slacker_Sam. Car care kit. And off we set to Christchurch. Register but no wof. Made it to murchison for a meal at the pub before dark. But after that was all nigh running. The sd23 was more than happy cruising along at 100km and seemed to be a set and forget in 5th gear up hill and down dale 5th gear did it all. 6hrs on the road from takaka to chc and over half at night. And over 450km in a ute destined for the crusher. Better yet it didnt use a drop of oil or coolant on the drive back

That's gonna get changed for a 4.1 pretty quick haha
