downtrail Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Did you ground one leg of the resistor and t the other side into anv xx Quote
Yowzer Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 Yuh you wanna make a voltage devider out of it as downtrail said. Wack two resistors on the output, one to the ecu other connected to earth. That should do the job. 1 Quote
downtrail Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 wait no sorry should be analog volt xx to one side of the switch and ground to the other side of the switch not 5v. try that. 1 Quote
downtrail Posted October 11, 2015 Posted October 11, 2015 and if that dosen't work apply 5v to one side of a 1k resistor and the other side connect to anv xx Sorry been a long day lol Quote
Steelies Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 hi gang, i have an '89 hilux with a 3Y that had some head work done by previous owner. i know the guys who did the work so no major question marks there. it has a leaky dizzy seal i know i need to sort. it also has a nice ticky tick on startup that eventually fades, a lifter or similar i presume? i am inexperienced in these these thus far, what do i do, and is it cause for concern given a 700ish km round trip for hawkes boes later this month?

Spencer Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 These things are kinda just a big k-series, super agricultural and generally just keep going. They come in hydraulic and solid lifters I am fairly certain, so if its hydraulic you need to probably clean/replace them and if its solid you just need to set valve clearances. Quote
Steelies Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 sweety, i'll look into which model it is and decide how much to ignore it from that. chur! 1 Quote
HighLUX Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Yuh ticky tick tappets is a favourite 3Y party trick/just keep it full of oil and coolant then enjoy happy motoring I might have a Toyota dealership 3Y workshop manual still somewhere that il bring next weekend if I can find it Quote
Rookie Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I would go as far as saying they are more bullet proof than a k series, basically just keep putting gas in it and drive into the sunset. 1 Quote
Steelies Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 oh you really shouldnt tell me these things. Quote
Testament Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 hi gang, i have an '89 hilux with a 3Y that had some head work done by previous owner. i know the guys who did the work so no major question marks there. it has a leaky dizzy seal i know i need to sort. it also has a nice ticky tick on startup that eventually fades, a lifter or similar i presume? i am inexperienced in these these thus far, what do i do, and is it cause for concern given a 700ish km round trip for hawkes boes later this month? my mate forgot to put oil in his for ages then we drove in it from taupo to managkion one day and it was ticking sooooo soooo bad. get back to taupo and check oil no oil oh lols put oil in got alot better. then he sprayed a whole can of degreaser in the rocker cover and wrung its neck real good, changed the oil. was munt after that. might have repeated the whole scenario a couple of times after that then sold it to some numpty at about 400,000km may have been a 4y y oh y etc. 2 Quote
Testament Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 just advised 1/2 of a bottle of jif was included in the rebirthing mixutre for good measure Quote
HighLUX Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Yuh every Y series burns oil even a low kms one. Duno how people actually kill them but I managed to sell mine to someone who blew their one up a couple of days after listing it FS 1 Quote
0R10N Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Has anyone here attempted to retrofit a later model Nissan igniter ('90s PRW2 style) to an earlier Nissan engine running the button-style Hitachi igniter? Or sort of knows what they are doing when it comes to this sort of thing? Found some pinouts for both setups, but it doesn't appear to be a 1 to 1 retrofit scenario. I had hoped it would be similar to adapting COPs to a MX-5 but nope, not even close. Quote
Yowzer Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 I really need to try this jif thing one day. Quote
Beaver Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Random question for the day, when I push on the brake pedal it seems to be sending a spike through the vans electrics and will occasionally cause the stereo to trip and turn off and restart and you can see the headlights (when they are on) and dash lights flicker/surge whne you push the pedal (i suspect its when the brake light switch is triggered). Before starting on a wild goose hunt, any ideas on what could be causing this? Cheers Quote

I wired up a half assed attempt with the mrs car stereo and first time we had to touch the brake pedal is tripped the stereo and dash lights went crazy. Was just bad wiring on my behalf and a better earth solved it all. Pretty sure that was the solution... Quote
