Wanted: Someone who knows and can assist with electronic stuff (vague? read on :))


Recommended Posts

I've got a little project in mind and unfortunatley I have no skills in electronics.

Is there someone out there who'd like to lend a hand (very small work) and try to help me achieve my goal (which I'll tell you when you show some interest).

Will pay with beer and goodwill.

Drop me a pm or email me uq1 [at] hate-tank [dot] net

Jason.

ps, it involves, a car and a computer cd drive.

ok, well, its not for a car mp3 player, or anything to do with a computer at all, it just so happens it will be using the motor system from a cd rom.

it will involve some soldering, and a few other bits and pieces. its something that I've never seen done before, so I don't want to explain it publically. If anyone is interested, I'll take you out for a beer and explain it then.

please pm me or email me if interested.

uneek... i can try to help... just post up what you want, much easier than PMing individually.

As for car + pc + cd drive...

try the car + power fc + power fc cable + pc (well laptop without screen) + xbox + 12" screen + 5 channel sound decoder + subs + amps setup in mine once its done :P pc and xbox working alternatively, as they both draw too much power (300W... eek) to drive synchronously. ATM I'm making a DC-DC switching converter for the xbox and laptop so I can drive em without wasting any precious power.

siliconchip.com.au and jaycar electronics are your best friends.

Shan, thanks for the offer, but its something that really requires a hands on approach.

Once I've got a rough idea of the feasability, I'll post some more information about it.

my mate has an old corona or something which has a rubber fallace that flips out into a very compromising position if you open the glovebox... apparently its a real ladycharmer...

    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
