More to the above story unfortunately... :/

however, about 10 kms into the drive to work on this -40 morning, my rear window decided one piece was not enough.

It was iced over and the demister was turned on but had melted and then CrrraAAcckK.

Not having a good run my friend :(

Nooo. There is a red one down the road from mine that hasn't moved in 6 months. Take their one.

Fixed ciggy lighter that was only working while the lights were off...

Required reterminating the various other things hanging off the ciggarette lighter's power rail, there were things mixing series and paralell cabling that shouldnt have been mixing causing some parts to be shorted while others were fine. Seemed that the lighter's negative was plugged into the "Lights on" line.

Replaced faulty Tacho too... had decided to go disco on me while the SAFC was still reading normal revs. Had fingers crossed as didnt want to have to get Cam angle sensor looked at just yet.

Was looking at the little black box for ages before finding it on google (speedo adjuster)... and the use of double core insulated wire, and the block of piggy back connectors... did a voltage test to try to trace back things, popped 4 fuses. Black/Orange to ground knocked out the driving lights and "Lights on" accessories (which expected), Black/Blue threw the lighter, the accessories, and the driving lights...

pulled it all out, started again... didnt have the wire to run a new line from the fuses so still stealing from the lighter as before.

Also a while back figured out why the siren wasnt working on the alarm system, battery in it was fine, there was a broken wire under the dash, one of the clips were cable tied too tightly and had a broken connection... you could tap it and the siren would click as the circuit was made... clipped the clip and soldered the wires together.

Now if i could only keep it clean, such a dirt magnet

Yeah, Jaycar speedo adjuster was put in by the previous owner due to manual conversion.

Glad you've got it all sorted. :thumbsup:

I bought this.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
