Hi,

I have just recently got myself a Stag (WC34 S1 - 1997), something practical for having a family and what will be a bigger dog when its grown up.

There are a few things on it that need changing and/or fixing.

The speedo and rev counter don't work, the speedo sits on 20km/h and the rev's just sit near zero flicking, has anyone had this issue and know what the problem is and how to fix it ?

And what globes do the parker lights take ? Mine has bluer ones in them at the moment and as far as I know, cops don't like that.

And does anyone have a stock exhaust, and how much would you want for it (in SA) ? The current one is loud and as I am just looking more for it to be a family bus, I don't really want it to be loud and don't need the attention loud exhausts bring.

Thanks

have a go at removing the dash and cleaning all the connectors...? i think it's a cheaper option (than repairing) if you buy a second hand dash unit. i may be wrong.

as for your parker lights they should be T10 wedge LEDs, ebay is your best friend here.

I chucked my stock exhaust a few months ago! You can make a decent flowing exhaust quiet with the right type of mufflers, mine has no cat and 3 inch whole way, one Hooker aero chamber and a berklee straight through at the rear. makes qround 300rwkw and tests at 87db at 3000rpm so its legal. the mufflers cost around 250 foe both from memory, just get them put in.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
