  1. Keep turning key, may take an hour of it, but if it eventually works, it'll be a burnt out part of the armichure, just buy a secondhand starter. Mine does the same thing, I still use it but 2 times in last 3months iv been stuck trying to start for over an hour..... and one of those times when it finally worked i had a flat battery... all in good fun.

  2. Awhile ago i chucked some 2" springs in, and reindexed torsions, the anchor for torsions was sitting low and one got bent abit, so today i reindexed again, aswel as bending the bent one straight, up into the crossmember, But now the front sits really low, i tried the next spline up and that made it sit to high... There is a little bit more room for cranking up so im hoping it will make enough difference.

     

    When i done the lift, i didnt worry about shocks. Currently i have one standard one and one aftermarket one, done by previous owner....... I can see that the side with the newer shock, sits quite abit higher, so im guessing my old standard one is shot? Im on a tight budget atm, still studying, so were would i get some ok shocks for a good price? in New Zealand.

     

    Cheers

  3. The light for the boost gauge is wired to your park lighting circuit, you will have to do some hunting there to find a suitable feed for it.

     

    It would be better to go 3" right to the airbox if you can, I used a reducer from my 3" snorkle pipe to the airbox as it was easier. I have some spare flexi hose for the std airbox end if you need it.

     

    Cheers for that Pete, I think i will give it ago to go 3" the whole way. As for the park lights, should i be looking around the steering column for a feed? just use a voltmeter to find some voltage when park lights are turned on?

  4. Yeah its nothing to do with key in the ignition because the locking use to work and the key has always been stuck. I checked for voltages today, and on the drivers door im getting voltage change as i press the unlock/lock button(around 10.7V) all the way down to the little rubber sealed thingy, so im wondering if the fault is in there?

  5. I cannot help you much with the electrics except suggest you start fault finding, start from the door lock itself.

    As for the stuck key? Dunno, maybe a visit to a locksmith?

    The boot will manually lock with a key.

     

    Cheers Pete, yeah i wll have to start fault finding, thought i would just check first to make sure there isnt a common fault point. And yeah, the key hasnt bothered me much, except it would be an easy steal for someone :/

  6. Hey guys, my central locking packed a sad, it was locking and not unlocking, now it wont do either...... Kinda bad as even if i manually lock doors, the boot is still unlocked. And whats worse is a key is stuck in the ignition(If anyone knows how to fix this it would be a great help too).

     

    Cheers

  7. It is not too bad and I bet it is time for new coolant anyway...

     

    Remove fan shroud (6 screws) and fan (4 nuts). The fan is not required but it does give you more working room. Drain coolant and dispose of properly. Undo the coolant hoses, upper and lower. Remove 2 bolts from top holding the radiator to the two brackets on the front support. Tilt back and lift out. Fire up the pressure washed and gently blow that crap on out. If you have AC and/or AT oil cooler you might want to pull the grill and pressure wash those too. I am 5-spd but I do the AC without removing... Then I use the opportunity to wash the remainder of the garage floor :laugh:

     

     

    Sorry mate was talking about the little radiator in the box by the fan resistor for heater.

  8. Same as mine, and it is intercooled too. I do not worry too much though as it leans out on highway trips. Maybe there is something amiss with it. but it gets me there n back.

     

    BLACK SMOKE IS THE EXCESS POWER BEING RELEASED :blush:

     

    Yeah it does its job, just abit hard to afford it being a student, + road users its a heck of alot more to run than my turbo sr20det bluebird....

  9. my terrano is using like 16l per 100 kms, I've heard is should be using 10-12l per 100kms, mine use to blow abit of black smoke, so i wound the fuel down, now it only blows black smoke if i pulse the throttle, and it only comes out when the rpms get back to idle. Anyone know what the problem could be?

     

    I have checked the air intake, its clear, the exhaust is fine.

  10. It will mess with your alignment and on the trail it will gouge your frame.

     

    Ok.. guess its a new one of them aswel then...... and i still have play in my steering setup somewhere, replaced draglink and left tie rod inner balljoint, but still got play..

  11. I think my idler arm is slightly bent, hard to tell but the nipple on top of my drag link is leaving grease marks on the chassis on the side of the idler and on the steering box side it isnt, so im guessing it is, will that put the wheel alignment out?

  12. Mine (1991) was attached to the truck with a bracket that screwed into some holes in the side of the radio and then into two holes above the radio. You might be able to get it at a wreckers, but since I think all the radios come with lots of holes in the sides, maybe you can get some standard bracket somewhere? Not sure.

     

     

    Bugger it..... I usually hang on to unnecessary @!*%.. this time i chuck it away and i end up needing it...............
