downtrail Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Did you ground one leg of the resistor and t the other side into anv xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted October 11, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downtrail Posted October 11, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downtrail Posted October 11, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steelies Posted October 13, 2015 Share 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 Share 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.

HighLUX Posted October 13, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie Posted October 13, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0R10N Posted October 14, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver Posted October 15, 2015 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
