Suppose you could technically call this progress.
Best thing about bikes? Tore the whole thing down in 1.5 hours
Now, off to someone who can magically join metal with a hot stick.

Ahhh, so much second hand value on this forum. Keeping it all in the wider family.

Front /rear disassembled ready for blasting + crack testing of struts
Rear sway sway
Frontal lowering (910 Bluebird struts/brakes)
One of these things is not like any other in NZ....

More viewing pleasure
Under the front hood, hides the radiator and ridiculous radiator hoses that run to the back of the car.
Factory side draft baby!
The factory exhaust looks near new.
FIRE GLAZE! (whatever that means)
A difference with the fronte is the rear window hatch glass actually lifts up like a hatch back
Damn pollen covering everything. Got it started but milky oil suggests head gasket fail.

You misinterpret my post, I was only talking about second hand items as that is what this post is about. Everyone knows about the consumer guarantees act (which does not cover second hand goods stores or anything second hand.)
That mediator needs to school up on the legal definition of misrepresentation.

What the actual hell? Raw deal man. I am shocked by that decision it defies law and logic.
So by that logic, anything you buy from a second hand store or a one line trade and exchange add (without ANY description) is now basically under a warranty. Not just a manufacturer style warranty which covers manufacturer defects but a you break it we will fix it no matter what lifetime guarantee.
That decision flies in the face of the well established legal precedent caveat emptor - let the buyer beware.
I would be fighting that decision.

Dan I have lots of form for unfinished projects. I have now completed 4 motorcycles though. The Kwaka still coming Chris, don't you worry.

First off, diff choice
Did a bit of reading of Internet speculation regarding diff choices. Found out the truth myself. Measured approximately.
Left is diff from S110 silvia 1380mm length - H165 disc brake, bolts straight in, has a sway bar too = obvious choice
mid is diff from C20 Van 1410mm length - H165 disc brake (custom modified to fit four link by oldmatedan and was fitted to beige car)
Right is diff from Sunny (OEM) 1370mm length - H150 drum rear end (now used by some ministocker)

Go on Crusty, you know you wanna bag me for starting projects and not finishing them

Plenty to do here. Got the itch for another car and found the cheapest Datsun I could - a Sunny.
First I bought off Grant (who owns my old 1200 coupe) a really tidy Sunny in a great factory colour. Grant really cared for this car. He's clearly a perfectionist - like me.
Took it for a few cruises over summer until WOF ran out.
Then I did what I do best and pulled it all apart
I bought Oldmatedan's Sunny which had plenty of fruit already attached.
eg
Not a fan of the beige so I have commenced swapping it all over to the tidier shell.
Plenty more to follow.

So I may have accidentally won this at the Wanganui Auction a month or so back.
The Cervo SC100 is the successor to the Suzuki Fronte (two stroke.) Sold in the UK as the Suzuki Whizzkid.
This has the F10A 4 cylinder, 4 stroke 1000cc big block used in Suzuki Samurai and those little Carry vans.
Could not resist. Prob just going to save for a rainy day, just need some storage space! It is dereg but has only done under 60,000km and is still in system.
Was missing tail lights but found some + replacement front spot light through a guy in Welly when randomly trawling net. He as one with a Suzuki Cappuccino 660cc 3 cylinder turbo engine!
RR configuration, tried to take photos of engine bay + front trunk space but phone was playing up and turning itself off.

7.5k for a rusty as 121! Could I kick myself anymore for scrapping an original RX-5 when I couldn't get $500 for it (15 years ago)!!!
Something different,
Mazda Chantez Kei car, 12A baby!

Be aware that if you are paying via bank transfer into an Oz bank account, the bank takes a cut for the transfer. Eg if you agree to a $100 AUD price, the bank might take a cut of $20 AUD and will only put the remaining 80 AUD of your money in the account and not tell you. Had it happen to me a few times. Thank goodness for paypal. In other words check with your bank first.

cheers ears!

Anyone able to assist? Bought a car with the bottom pictured spherical bearing ball joints. Are they legal for road use? Require cert or are they WOF compliant? Any issues with them? Are these much better than standard ones (as shown in top of pic connected to steering arm?

The peak of 90's puke;
I mean, RX3 tail lights in a 323 - meh, but RX3 tail lights in an RX2 coupe? Look harder to see the camo spec then tri-spokes on the BFMR. Ahhh the good old days.

Thought I was real clever tracking down some tail lights.
Then I put them in the car = mint!
Then I tested them and first thought that the wiring for brake/indicator must be wrong on right hand side.
Then I looked again and had to laugh at myself out loud.
It turns out that at some year/years Suzuki must have swapped locations of the brake/tail lights! Lenses are identical apart from location of colours. Who does that! Looking on net, I cannot find one picture of the lense configuration shown on right?!
Hopefully the guy I got them off still has one that matches either of them.
Replaced broken spot light too, but it is not 100% the same either, dang it!
