I had similar problem on my corolla. Fault ended up being leaking capacitors in the ecu. A trip to jaycar and 3 dollars well spent fixed it for me. Capacitors leaked underneath. Replaced and fixed 2 damaged tracks.

Ive used POR15 products successfully, (where as i have some mates who have had it peeling off in a few months). have done whole t bucket chassis in it and wheels. it doesnt like silicone at all (or anything touched with green scotch brite ) . all the items i did were media blasted first. no other prep , POR15 on then POR top coat on top - with a brush . yay for self levelling paint.

Once i brought a white vh ss brock replica, it came with a tool cassette, a 25m black extension cord, some rolled up balls of tin foil and a lovely black fishing jersey with elbow patches . it also had almost no brakes and exhaust was hacked off half way under the car.

do you have a steelmasters branch in your area ? they are quite likely to have them/can get them/ can get them made even

How to remove bonded windscreen with hard sealant, i have got a right angle knife with pull handle tool, but it wont pull through the sealant? (the "test windscreen" currently in the car is disposable luckily) .

any hints or tips. ive looked on the internets and apart from holding the blade close to the glass, im out of ideas

heat ? solvent ? get a wire type tool ? cinder block ?

yes you are correct, on a mono tube the high pressure nitrogen is seperated by a piston

but on a twin tube it pressurises directly onto the oil by the looks

Thats awesome ! . to re gas em fit tyre valve type fitting to tube and pump up with nitrogen (inert) after re oiling ?

what you reckon ?

ive got a full spare set of shocks from daily to try this out on

can i be ultra cheap and re-oil shocks with a slightly heaver weight oil (ie a 40weight) i guess i can drill, drain, tap and plug, and refill them to gain some more shock compression resistance? or is it far too gash ?

George Walker Vehicle valuations in palmerston north is the best i know of. many years in the business

It would have to be thinner every where than my current one. Unless you fatter to give me plenty of allowance to balls it up when it comes to sanding a new profile..?

Yeah I have wondered about the premix. I run 100:1. Apparently this ratio doesn't effect the oxygen sensor by much. I need to find more people running rotaries with wideband gauges.

I should also re-calibrate it which I have not yet done since doing the initial fitting. It always reads consistently but maybe its always consistently out....

sanding them takes a lil sand and try and repeat. and if you over sand you can always build them up with some solder and a lil propane torch.

ive got some metalset - which is awesome 2 pack epoxy stuff

have fixed fueltanks, flogged out brackets and even mufflers over the years

not the greatest for load bearing threads thou

thats 520 lb per foot. not lb per inch

semi auto Trans will take Castrol TQ95 , dry fill 4.2 L

Not really ideal but the centre diff can take a little bit up. I would say that would be acceptable.

edit just checked my reference sheet, should be just kosher but no more would be an error....

Oh and when was I eating said pie?????

Chur, thats a great answer . van im looking at has 8.5's and 9.5's on it currently ... with 215 50 17's all round . looks a bit too stretch for my liking or for heavy loading/northland roads/deewuns etc

why did you not ask me this question ehoa?

You were too busy eating a pie , ok so whats the answer to my question

vehicular is nissan largo 4wd

fronts 225 45 17's

rears 255 40 17's

0.24% difference in circ.

equates to 2.4m difference in travel per 1000m

Whats the go with running different width tyres on a full time 4wd vehicle - , just wondering what % different rolling diameter is ok before the centre diff gets unhappy (open centre diff - difference calculated at 0.5% to 0.9% depending on wheel options)

edit - found a staggered wheel option that will allow 0.24% rolling difference

chuck the speedo sender gear off the 4 speed into the 5 speed and u'll be all smiles

First gravel hack was a 78 5 door mazda 323 bug eye in yellow, cost 2 dozen speights (in 1997 at age 18)

couple months later First legal car was mk3 zephyr - cost $400 with triples (bargin )

have you considered a transverse leaf IRS subframe from nissan serena/other gayvan for the back end ? might be able to get it lower ? diesel diff is a 3.6 from memory. is drum too in 5x114 too

I'll have to pop over for a squizz sometime.

I had a kit, it was a CDT one, had a log manifold, inlet manifold, t04 turbo, 2" SU carb, water injection. was fairly ag-spec by todays standards. also had decompression plate.

turbo had no wastegate, but there was provision for one to be put on the manifold (which was split pulse)

check the alternator case is well earthed to motor and chassis. (and the engine/chassis earth lead isnt kaput)

I tried doing that to my sentia, ended up with 3 windows that didnt work

My repair still works after a year

but yes its fiddlely to do. getting the preload right was the hard part

Also, drivers window is now in the perma-up position. Pretty shit, but don't want to fork out $280 for a wire cable right now.

if its the same as a corona one you can macgyver fix em for about $8 and a few odds and sodds (bike cable inner, crimps, bolt, glue, bit of alloy etc)

Fuel star ? does it work or is it Snake oil spec?

Am looking a mid 90's paj with a 4m40 2.8 turbo , I hear these things are ticking time bombs in the engine department, does anyone know what fails on them ? (cause and effect)
