when I sold my engine I only got 600 for it. I think that was a 1$ res on Tm

very very cool. the vh45 is a GREAT engine- creams the cock off the popular 1uz's. pay attention to the oiling of it though

I can supply/ help with all pneumatics. automation is what I do

Spence posted the list above. just need a Pinout for the auto loom and we could draw up a simple circuit in a few seconds

mate I'm keen as a bean to buy any early 80's cassette deck you may have spare. none that I've been able to find quite have the look/ are late 80's and gross

reminds me of a spider

hahahaha! I get it!

I've always found them fine. much better than a sharp hose clip strip end and you only have to do it once and you don't need a million dollar crimp tool

those crimp connectors are available from Blackwood / most places that sell hose. use linesmans pliers to crip each side but by bit until tight. that's for the crimp bands that look like a chev logo

I have done this to a Nissan auto. very similar. you need to wire the inhibitor switch up to some relays and use the relays to switch the autos solenoids on/off. if you remove the auto ecu you will also need a switch to lock up the tq converter ( very good being able to manual it on in some situations like going up hill in 3rd. mine was set up so that 1st was 1st, 2nd was 2nd, D was 3rd and D + OD switch was 4th, then had an extra push button for lockup. there will be a line pressure solenoid which drops pressure during shifts. on the Nissan I just left thus wire dc'd which ment much firmer quicker shifts with no slippage. as far as I know the mech linkage only controls P,N,R and D21. d21 are all the same mechanically and you can access all forward gears electronically while the stick is in any of those 3 positions. the inhibitor switch is what tells the ecu where the lever is. all you need to find out is what solenoid combinations do what. it will be something like gear 1 solenoid one, gear two solenoid two, gear 3 no solenoids and gear 4 both solenoids. hope this helps.

do not be suckered into thinking extra air tanks are a solution to the pump being putts. noise has been an issue for me. larger compressors run less and are quieter so much nicer to be around

never been interested in these but that silver one is nice. how did they cut/ do the front of the guards? is it new steel/ welded stuff under the black?

oh man! probably the nicest FCC I've ever seen

just giving food for thought. consider the td42 from Nissan. they are 4.2 l straight 6 and LOVE boost. guys get very very impressive power out of them. there are cheap and awesome cast turbo manifolds available. best part? diesel bell housing mounts it to the 300zx auto trans. the best place to ask is probably ore.co.nz as those guys live and breathe this stuff and will surely have all answers

yeah you are lucky jase as the chev v8s have like every aftermarket part imaginable. get a sandwich block to feed cooler or get a remote filter adaptor and run as many remote filters and coolers as you want.

lots of 4x4 guys do it- I'm sure it must be ok

seat looks great!

I would not feel comfortable solid mounting the engine AND gearbox as it then becomes a stressed member. I have no idea if its actually a problem but you could exert some serious force on the gearbox mountain points should the chassis flex

not sure if I miss- understand the discussion but there are aftermarket looms available for hot rods etc- you choose the number of separate circuits you need and the kit supplies everything- wires, relays and fuse box. sorry if iv missed the obvious

anyone even remotely interested in buying this? the mrs has made it clear that because of other things coming up I'm only allowed one car....and there's a Gemini that I want right NOW! purrs like a kitten, best daily on earth. have done numerous long trips in it and absolutely no hint if it being anything but awesome. pm me if you are interested at all, cheers

very cool dude! and so coil to find a young guy who can speak/write properly

hcd in ham has a box of sample automotive seals.

I'd have been there but have to drive to taumarinui

option 1 for sure. hope that rack doesn't fall off!!

Chrome checker-plate for the floor? please dont do it
