ahh yup guess its not that then. next guess is going to be with the newly found electrics on this vehicle im going to guess the alternator is now to small and just not getting the battery back up to max charge. still running factory one and have added EFI, alarm, sounds and so on hah. considering when i turn my high beams on my head unit powers off i think this could be a valid starting point.

yeah exactly which is why i think it is broken as it reads -15 amps all the time even when unplugged. So thats why i am wondering if it is acting as a resistor and loading the circuit maybe as there is stuff using power all the time through it like the alarm and battery memory for the head unit. As it feeds the whole car i dont think it has gone open circuit as if it had nothing would be running any more.

I need a second opinion on this. There is some thing my car which is draining the battery and i suspect it might be the amp gauge as the entire car runs through it. It also seems to have started happening about the time the amp gauge got stuck on -15 amps constant. Now i think it has blown the gauge as it used to return to 0 if i fully unplugged it but now it is just stuck on -15 amps no matter what i do with it. I am mostly familiar with how an amp gauge works but i am unsure if it is capable of flattening a battery or not. Any thoughts on this would be helpful?

I will see what I can arrange.

My bike doesn't go yet makes me sad face but some time between Xmas and new years if I get my bike going me and japawags want to come up for impromptu meet

should just round up some of the guys and come to waihi pub man. blacklistt villainy and devilskin should be sweet gig. but fuck if it this hot tomorrow gorge is on. so need to be swimming.

keen, off the scale keen for boating. i will bring many toys with me if they are going.

right stopped being a useless cunt and got back into this thing. if i can get a belt sorted should be able to start it this weekend. has no drive yet though as still waiting on some bits. cant be to fussy with time lines when trying to do it on the cheaps though.

next time i might get the sunscreen out of the car. sweet meat though, good excuse to take skyline out for a cruise. didnt get home till about 11pm due to lounging at reserve ages after every one left.

i suspect this will be an expensive weekend. put me down for fri and sat nights. i will be heading up to leadfoot for sat if things fall into place there though.

i may show up. not sure yet. many things to do on this day so we will see. that and there is no one to bring with me haha.

nice work, looks like a autodeck kit they work out pretty good though.

you must be well stoked. time for another track day so you can see how much better it is?

stink cancelled.

stink work do is this night. weird day to have it but oh well said i would go.

prob going to this weather depending. go fail at bowts in the 110.

haha break an R200. helll i dont and L series could break one unless it was boosted. yeah long nose lsd's are hard work to find. got mine from japan in the end, you pay a pretty penny for them though.

basicly trying to beat the fact you have a gearbox with more hp/talk. driveline will be well sorted if vg can sus me with the bits i need. I will then celebrate by popping both the shitty three my bike currently has with bowts.

bit of plumbing and carburetion while i wait for other stuff to be sorted. just needs a reducer to hook up to engine to be made and its all done. rolling plain old radiator piping for inlet hose. not fully deal but should last long enough. was not keen on super expensive prices that silicone ones seem to be.

do love this van. is so sweet. yeah brown.

Force fed oil system in 1979 lol you be lucky. Splash fed.

Yeah would need to do it early in Dec. Do we do karts again or do we try a rose gardens bbq spec deal for Dec cause people will be poor?

man 300cc's of piston to the balls. guess i had better not expect to have kids ahaha.

yeah was thinking the same thing today. driving to taupo and back i found a few sore spots.

was a good wee watch. pity i have no recording device for others though.
