Yep Palmy

um im thinking a real nice dark blue or a gun metal gray?

both pretty hard colors to get looking good

my ear muffs live on my ears at work, but wearing glasses plus safety glasses/googles is a pain, ordinary glasses always seem to fog up, especially when I'm wearing a mask at the same time

well now i'm wondering whats going on. I changed the altenator last weekend to a second hand one i've had for a while, barely drove the car all week but it seemed ok, was charging etc, now I drive back to napier tonight and light starts flashing again, as the light flashes on my headlights got brighter.

god dam electrics. anyone have any ideas?

cant be fucked reading all this

Steel wool and window cleaner

Works on rubber seals also

trust me, i did this shit for years

You wont find something better

I see your steel wool and glass cleaner and raise you steel wool and cutting compound, will also get rid of the water marks on your windows/seedys way probably does too

soreted now, was voltage regulator

obviously but perhaps in a panic type situation you'd forget about that

buzzer sounds like a better idea to me. however have to be careful when shutting off the car if you did loose oil pressure. heard of a guy with a camaro whose oil pressure light came on so he just turned the key right off, steering lock came on and he woke up upside down in a ditch

a spot welder would be perfect lol otherwise yeah drill a hole and plug weld it, you will get distortion that way though

god you guys are quick, I wondered if 15 was a bit high, would this have done any damage to the altenator or battery/electrical system

went for a drive today (Napier to palmy and back) and my battery light was flashing on then going off again for most of the trip then about a couple of k's from home it came on and stayed on, when I stopped there was a smell of hot/burning electrics and the altenator was pretty hot (not sure if it normally is). I tested the battery and it had about 15v running with lights and radio on. I have recently replaced the brushes and bearings in the altenator. its got me beat, any ideas?

Yes you need some kind of receipt to show the transfer of ownership of the vehicle went ahead from the last registered owner to you. Then you need their name and address to give to the outfit who re-register the car, along with proof it has been on the road previously (number plate, WOF, rego slip etc) and a notice from the police that it isn't of any interest to them.

interested in this too, both my project and car I'm hoping to buy have been out of the system for ages and I have no proof of them being on nz roads (except code on ID plate saying its nz new, not sure if thats enough) but in this case can you not just get it revinned the way you do if you brought in a car from overseas?

have made one for my ek, just used random bits of steel laying round, makes things so much easier

if I remember rightly there was an article in the latest petrolhead (or it might have been the one before) about a place making US style plates to suit nz numbers so perhaps they would be worth a shot, will try dig out the company name when I get a chance.

na he's an eit trained mechanic lol

shit I forgot too, will have to make a better effort next month

keen as.

anyone know roughly how much accomodation there is

thats the one, will let you know mate

auction's ending on Wednesday bro, have asked him for more pics so maybe viewing might not be necessary

Am looking at buying yet another EK holden in palmy (or thats where the auction says) but really need someone to have a look at it for me if possible, havent been in contact with the seller yet though

Cheers

JK

pretty much keen for anything, karts sounds mean,I did like cock n bull, means I get a decent feed during the week, not so keen on getting lost in ham though, almost need to buy a gps just to find os meets lol

to be honest you can't beat a good tank off clean out and if you have an alloy ptr (plastic tank rad) a clean out shouldn't cost much more than 75 bucks, well thats what i charge anyway, in this case I'd be getting one of those flushes from repco and putting it through then taking the rad out for a tank off flush. however I've never had experience with these crystals however would be dubious about them eating the tank seals

cheers for the offers guys, ended up doing a mission on tuesday night and getting it, already in car and all go but thanks anyway

I get about 400kms out of a tank in my ke70, cant remenber how big the tank is though lol so probably no help to you

I'm looking at buying a gearbox from whakatane, am just wondering if anyone is going to be travelling between whakatane and any place closer to matamata with spare room for a gear box

for 300 hundy plus it'd be worth me mucking round after hours making up a custom one tbh. also lol at 750 for a new one that wont fit (like all rarespares panels I've ever worked with
