I can’t vote because there’s no option for Sh*t Cun*s to say yes.

We actually did a comparison just before Xmas taking a leaf from chch to greymouth. Ended up spending close to 30 bucks at fast chargers and a good 1.5 hours waiting for the charge. Thankfully nobody else needed to use them. And between otira and greymouth was the biggest stretch with no charging points (80ks) and we just got there before it went to limp/turtle mode. Oh and after 3 fast charges the batteries were pinging the temp gauge too. This is a 2013 leaf with 10 bars of life whatever that means, it's not an end of life one I know that much. Oh and can't be in eco mode if you wanna do the speed limit apparently. Fuck they're shit. 

Funny thing is we took a 90s hyundai sonata with a 3.0v6 (mitsi 6g72) along with it. And refueled in greymouth. Used 22L of fuel which cost 60 bucks to refuel. If we recharged the leaf to full at another fast charger there it would've been another $10-15. Plus more waiting. So once you add on the rucs for a 250k journey like that, roughly $15-20 on rucs at the prices stated. You're not much better off than a $1000 piece of shit hyundai. And you won't have to wait 2 hours to use it. 

Better living NZ.

 

So what you’re saying is EVs are rubbish and everyone needs to buy a 1996 Hyundai Sonata V6? 
 

you son of a b*tch I’m convinced.

Alex is probably too nice to say it, but I am pretty sure he means entirely fuck off with that shit that isn't a K11 in the K11 appreciation thread.

Awww gummon now. It’s all in good humour. 

They’re actually not that bad

Yeah smol cars 

May I suggest some K11 alternatives 

- GA3 Honda Logo TS

- Ford KA

- Toyota Vitz 

- Peugeot 106

I've got nothing that I'd happily smash around the track . All my other cars are allergic to gravel roads...apart from the work ute.

There's one sitting here in Motueka. Been there ages. I imagine @Slacker_Sam. Knows what the deal is with it.

But yeah.. A bit too small and least fine I drove my series 2  i owned any distance it killed my legs. Wasn't comfy. 

Its one of those mystery vehicles. Gone now i think. 

I've got a snatch strap, a shitty shovel, installing a rear recovery point this weekend, ill steal the fire extinguisher from the work ute, and a selection of basic tools.

I spotted a place in Motueka yesterday that had no less than 4 AUs in the driveway/yard. @Slacker_Sam. you'll know it- around the corner from the Pa.

That is all. I have no intention to buy into. Just thought I'd mention it.

Yes Nice place that.

Sweet!

Go hard and get it legal!

 

@Slacker_Sam. This was a conversion you were thinking of doing on janes car at one point? 

Yea then I was to lazy.

I was thinking of getting a site. But that means I'll have to go through all my crap. 

@shizzl I've messaged you some of his details. If no luck I can try track him down.

Yeah I know him. Comes into work quite often. Whys that?

Pics for reference. Loose wires is engine end. Other is CDI module plug.

Evening all. I bought one of those chong lifan engine kits to re power my C50. Its a 110cc auto clutch job. 

Im well stuck with the wiring though. The motor package came with a loom that looks like its a complete loom off a chinese scooter. Im wondering is there any way I can graft it into the existing C50 loom?

The new motor has 6 wires:

Red w/black stripe

Blue w/white stripe

Green

White

Yellow

Turquoise w/red stripe - neutral light?

The bike has white, yellow, black & turquoise/red.

I have the cdi module & coil but the wires in the loom supplied dont match up to the wires on the new engine.  So im scratching my head. Any help from guys who have done this kind of swap before?

So I've got a MS112 Jap import Crown. 5M-E with A43D Auto trans. The bloody thing will not engage Overdrive and I cant fathom why.

- I've replaced the engine temp sensor. No Joy

- Tested the O/D switch on the dash. Works fine.

- Traced the wires down to the O/D solenoid and probed whist operating the switch - Power is switching.

- Swapped the O/D solenoid - Still doesn't engage O/D

- Theres another cylinder shaped thing next to the O/D solenoid with a single pink wire going to it? some sort of pressure sensor?

Basically Im stumped. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Im extremely impressed! Its awesome that this thing is getting resurrected.

@Slacker_Sam. KNows the location of a truck with a wellside tray. It's rusty, but it hasn't completely returned to the earth yet. It's also a very long way from civilisation too. PLus it's part of a large hoard owned by an old Barry who is likely very hard to deal with. 

/lingpost.

Yes. its still there. Old Barry changes the story every time I ask about it / gave up.

It  was the bloody leads the whole time. Fixed! Thanks chaps

On the road through riwaka. Dude has quite a random collection. Neighbours must love him. Im sure @Slacker_Sam. Has been there. 

Yes I have. The Chap is......an interesting fellow. He has quite a few treasures tucked away. My favorites were the Nissan Sunny Le Prix Turbo powered by a mighty E15T, a couple of late 70s coronas and the crem de la crem (excuse spelling) A 1971 Toyota Mark II wagoon which he would not sell. Plus various other "mystery cars" under mountains of crap.

I just took it for an Italian tune....things got worse so I limped it home on 4 + 3/4 cyls . Then just as I got to my street it got itself together and gave me a full 6 cyls. But I don't trust it. I guess I'll put a set of leads on it tomorrow and see what happens. Failing that Barts advice sounds acceptable. 

Hey everybody. So my blasted AU is packing a shit. It's got the 4.0 intech VCT log under the hood. It was running fine but the other day it started misfiring under load. This happened after I gave it a foot full to pass some tourists in a Nissan Tiida.  

So after I got home I replaced the plugs. No change.

Changed the coil. No change. 

Changed the intake gaskets. No change. 

Changed the fuel filter. No change. 

Did a compression test & it all came up acceptable. 

It seems to run on 6 at idle but misses on throttle. I've tried to isolate it by pulling off leads whist it's running but they all cause a strong misfire when pulled off. 

I'm scratching my head....any ideas? Halp
