downtrail Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I was wondering the same. What if it's carbed, or after market ECU? You can configure the links for a check engine light. Will come on if a is bigger than b but not larger than c type of deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I hope he has configured it to tell him when rear wheel speed has dropped to the same level as front wheel speed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I can see it being a thing if you had to pass emissions tests? this. when we cert an engine swap we have to check the emission side of things if its efi, it has to have all the things it had when it was in the factory application, ie check light, oxy sensor, TPS, etc etc aftermarket ecu just has to have whatever its designed to have carb just has to run right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vintage Grumble Posted September 9, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2015 Ahhhh OK, that makes sense. Also, this piece of shit just passed its fucking cert, zeeeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Towed it alllllllllll the way to Tauranga, drove it into his shed, he looked at it for around 1.47 minutes, and said it was good to go. He was more worried about arguing the origins of the wild bunch with some old dude, than having a good look at my work. Didn't even give me a high five for my sweet engine check light. Glad its all done thought, neat. All was not without incident though. When I went to load the ute onto the trailer last night, the fucking thing unhitched somehow (brother in law attached it, so I blame him, lols) and made a mess of the boot of his car, so that's going to be at least $500 to fix, bugger. Next on the list is to fit the alarm, and banging high fatality sound system, then get the cert plate stuck on, and DO SUM SKUDS.

Beaver Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I had a smilar experience with my recheck. I drove mine up from wellington to levin for the recheck (which he realised when I arrived) and was like good drive? with a grin on his face. Asked me what Id done to sort out the issues and basically said sweet, good to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 Yeh, I was quite surprised how laid back he was. Mind you, I get the feeling people like ourselves come across as rocket surgeons/competent/trust worthy compared to a large number of their clients. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted September 10, 2015 Author Share Posted September 10, 2015 So how is it to drive, etc. Can't wait to sell for RZ money or keeps for a while? It has all the vagueness of a 400000K hilux, mixed with the power and turbo noises of a mildly tickled up Silvia, so pretty grotty all round really. It gets a lot more grip than I expected, but it does have 235's on the back, and the turbo dosen't come in until 4Kish, so guess thats about rite. I'll keep it for a while and see how I like it, i've probably only driven it 80km so far, lewlz. So the flying pink pussywagon is legal??!! does it go hard as? Once the plates on, its good to go. Its not silly fast, but faster than a near standard Hilux should be. Sell sell sell. Gee, settle down, its not even legit yet. Also, even if I got real good money for it, i'd still be $14K short of a decent RZ, so i'll have to keep dreaming for a while/COME ON MILL MONEY. Straight swaps matte black altezza Chuck in your bro's 85 and you got a deal/the wife will kill me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 So, two months ago, this passed cert. I waited and waited for the phone call from the cert man, to say come and get it, but it never happened. I rang him around the 6 week mark, and he said the plate would be there soon. Rang again at the 8 week mark, and didn't get much sense out of him, but he reckoned it should be in his workshop. Rang just now and he had a look for the plate, and its a bingo, its there! BUT THEN DRAMA, he says "There's a chassis number discrepancy" I shit my pants, and the racist in me thinks *You got this from a young Maori fulla from Kawerau, its probably stolen* But then I find out, its as simple as the chassis number being recorded incorrectly when it was registered in NZ. THANK FUCK FOR THAT. It may be the only YN7 hilux in the world? So i'm taking it to TGA in the morning to get the plate stuck on, then I just have to fill out a form, get VTNZ to OK the change of number in the system, and shes all go/skids on. SO CLOSE I CAN TASTE THE GROT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 So fuck this ute. Early morning run to get cert has gone tits up. Currently sitting on the side of the road, just out of Tauranga. Electrics under dash billow smoke when I try to start it. Neat. Now to wait for the cops to roll up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vintage Grumble Posted November 5, 2015 Author Share Posted November 5, 2015 Haven't worked out the cause yet, but this, the main engine fuse, is not so happy. I'll have to get someone that knows more about the magic of electricity to have a look, as the cause of the problem is not super apparent. It broke down so close to the cert mans workshop, we carried on there, and the cert plate is now attached. Baby steps. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
