Popular Post chris r Posted April 19, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted April 19, 2016 I had a thread up a while ago but its gone. I got it off my great aunty, Her partner bought it new and made the tray for it. He used it as his builders vehicle for years and after he died it went in the garage and did the odd tip run. They put some covering on the door cards which has gone a bit dumb bit I'll leave it as it'll do more damage than its worth to take them off. I just about sucked the seat up my bum on a couple of corners on the drive home. Anything close to the recommended retail speed on corners was at the limit of the tyres The day I got it home No options ticked here, it had a radio blank and a cigarette lighter blank, and just a you have cooked the engine light instead of a temp gauge I've taken the tray off and given it a cleanup/under seal. I'll need to do it again later. It didn't want to go up the drive without doing skids, 20 year old commercial tires are a bit shit in the wet. I pulled the bench out and rangid in some speakers with only the finest mdf and cable ties I had 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Last weekend neal gave me a hand and we pulled the nose cone/rad support off. There is a bit of surface rust I'd like to sort out before it gets bad. Grill has some rust spots so that'll get re chromed. I'll pull the 202 out and give it a refresh, new rings bearings and a mild cam. I'll probably get carried away and do a wire tuck/shove the battery under the tray. It'll annoy/confuse the barrys/foamers Discussion : //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/52622-chrisr-hz-tonenr-discussion/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 I finished painting the nosecone and its sitting waiting for a day when I go out to the lockup and fit it I've been dreaming about injecting the 202 with a megasquirt or speeduio. Did some reading/thinking this morning and I have come up with a option that should work. I think a ms1 will do the job well enough and i'll be a fun learning experience I have a dizzy out of a red injected 202 with has the pickups inside, so I should be able to use a hei module as a signal conditioner/ignition coil driver. The 8 pin module looks like it should fit nicely where the original one sat. I just need to figure out if the megasquirt will be happy running 3 injectors as I plan on drilling/welding injector boss into the 9 port carb manifold. I'm debating about what throttlebody to use. I have a honda one from the wreck but as I saw somewhere the vn commodore thottlebodies have a idle speed motor built in which will make life easier. I'll leave this here as a reminder and for some part numbers. http://www.msextra.com/doc/ms1extra/MS_Extra_Ignition_Hardware_Manual.htm#gm7hei Edit: I did a quick injector size calculator and if I have 160 hp (yeah right) I'll need bigger injectors if I'm going to use 3. I had a dig around and found 6 old honda injectors so I'll just them as they are free. I'll turn them down a tad so they fit the hose tails for the fuel rail 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 I was thinking about cutting this rail in half but seeing as 6 injectors will be easier I'll run with it. I've got a bag of stuff and some drawings to take down to the mrs parents when we go next and I'll borrow the lathe again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chris r Posted February 21, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 21, 2017 I found some more photos The instrument lights were buggered when I got it so I got a repro light set and put it in. I put a radio in and rangid in some speakers. I REALLY hate seeing old cars with chopped up dashes for a radio so I glued the base onto the floor The step plates? were rusty so I chucked some underseal stuff on them. I'll see how it lasts And that is how its currently sitting 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 My aliexpress hei modules turned up. I ordered a couple so I have a spare. I pulled the module off the injected 202 dizzy I had and re crimped some plugs to suit the hei module. It should work the same as the original module and when I eventually get the megasquirt I'll just wire up the 4 pin plug and will have everything I need. I will need to cut a piece of aluminium to act as a heat sink/adapter for the hei module as its slightly larger then the original 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 I've fixed the first post so the pictures actually work now. I've put the radiator support panel on and started bolting everything up. I thought I probably should turn it over since its been sitting for so long. With glens help I chucked the battery cables on and it fired up with a good dose of ether. Thats probably going to be all I do on it for the next few months 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 I finally put the front back on. Somehow I've lost the headlights so I grabbed some semi sealed h4 inserts. Chucked the time yesterday I'll have to align them this weekend. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted January 7, 2018 Author Share Posted January 7, 2018 I've replaced the rocker and side plate gaskets and given the carb a brake clean rebuild. I've got that electronic dizzy to install once I find the ht leads. Does anyone have a spare waterneck I can have/buy? Mine is a tad fucked 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Took the old girl in for a wof. Only needed the diff brake lines replaced. The tappets are getting worse so I'll replace them and the cam at some point to two days later the mechanic still has not replaced said diff brake lines... I Did say I needed it ready tonight. I ran the gauntlet as I had to pick some stuff up and get ready for the scooter ride. I needed some tie town points for the scoots and general stuff so really splashed out. @piazzanoobs gantry is fucking awesome She'll be right m8. perfect for a trip to waikato and back...

Popular Post chris r Posted January 30, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 30, 2018 Because everyone loves maintenance shots here is the new water pump and rad hoses Since the van wont be ready for anything I wan to take it to I thought i'd barry up the next best thing. Enter the finest pallet wood and old sign I just need to make a "door" and a shield against the cab in case it gets windy/rainy 17 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted February 10, 2018 Author Share Posted February 10, 2018 Wagnats was lush and so was this. I only woke up with condensation once so its a success.

Popular Post chris r Posted February 10, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 10, 2018 Everyone loves a bit of head, specially when the passages have been opened up cams and spare bellhousing/flywheel/clutch it is actually a towing cam m8 This lot should sort out the noisy lifter 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris r Posted February 23, 2018 Author Share Posted February 23, 2018 Nothing like not being able to sleep and getting frustrated in the garage because you keep fucking things up due to being tired.... I then realized I forgot some parts Getting better... Thought I'd check the valve stem seal o rings... They are all pinched. cunts of things and back apart again. Any tips on not fucking the orings? or does anyone have a less wobbly valve spring tool? Nest question is assembling the roller rockers in the correct orientation. I can't find any destructions with the parts and a 2 minute google isnt helpful I'll take the cam(s) into the cam guy on the way past tomorrow and see what he says 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chris r Posted March 31, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2018 The cam was toast so I got it reground. Towing/4wd spec m8. I sold the extra heads and Pistons that came with the hoard with the intention of getting new valve springs but bills happened. I figured since the 202 sounded horrible the old barry trick of draining the oil and filling the sump with diesel couldn't hurt it. I ran it for about 15 minutes and drained it. Both the oil and diesel were super dirty when it came out so it was full of crap. New filter and fresh oil and it's heaps quieter now which I'm happy with. Of course I disposed of the oil/diesel mix in the appropriate manner 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris r Posted May 6, 2019 Author Share Posted May 6, 2019 I've still got this, went down to the lockup today and grabbed it. Drip of fuel down the carb and it fired right up. It's being filmed again tomorrow for something. Now it's out I'll get it a wof then do ute stuff and put it back in the lockup for another few months(year) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post chris r Posted November 22, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted November 22, 2019 Still got this. Still no wof. Did a scrap run the other week(month) I forgot how slow the 202 was, its getting smokey and fumey and is due for a refresh. Instead of pulling it out I'll assemble the mighty 253 and put that in eventually one day. I figure it'll be just as slow but v8 noises will make up for it. I'm toying the idea of injecting the 253. Looking at either a Holly quadrajet injection thing or doing a low buck megasquirt build. Keeping the carb is probably smarter with the amount I drive it but efi is so much nicer to live with. If anyone had a v8 m20 four speed for sale or knows where I can get one for not moonbeams let me know 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
