Finally got some spare time and started looking at my Defi's and trial fitting them.

I am going to attempt to leave the cups on them and get a thin bit of steel rod to put through the mounts to help with aligning them together easier, I'll post pics and let you know how it goes.

My first lot of deliveries for the week turned up.

Gearbox oil (Redline Lightweight Shockproof), all new seal kit, clutch alignment tool (which as I mentioned turns out I'll be getting with the clutch anyway haha :( ) and also a magnetic sump plug which I will chuck in next time I drop the engine oil.

So, I finally got around to fitting the Defi's this week. I'm still to fit the sensors, but the gauges themselves are in lol.

I tapped into the IGN power, ground and illumination from the cigarette lighter and then the constant power leading to the head unit for the control unit, thinking I will velcro it into the glove box but currently it is sitting in the passenger footwell lol.

I love how easy it is to pull shit apart in R34's lol.

Someone asked earlier to post pics on how I mounted these, so here it is, I siliconed them! Haha, looks a bit sketchy but I didn't want them falling back and silicon is easy enough to get off so I figured more was best lol.

Fitted up. Not 100% perfect alignment but you can't really tell.

No boost gauge?

Nar, I have the e-boost to check if I need to (currently sitting in the glove box).

If I get another gauge I'll probably pillar mount it and whatever the other one is (only other one I can think I'd get would be AFR but that won't be until I do a bit more engine work).

I've still got a water temp gauge I want to hook up and have looked at AFR as well but as much as I want them in the car I dont want to go through the hassle of pillar mounting them only to get defected

Don't you have an AFR? :3

I don't see it as a necessity just a precautionary thing.

Yep in the glovebox out of sight! It is simply there for troubleshooting if anything goes wrong.... The Haltech protects the engine so no need to watch what its doing!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
