Hi muzza, you can get solar trickle chargers from places like Jaycar which are specifically designed do just as you want but the battery must be fully charged before you leave it to by maintained by the trickle charger. You can also fit an ordinary solar panel and have it slowly charge the battery ...

used only once or twice a month for the last year And just out of curiosity, how long were these drives :?: Cheers A few would have been about 10km each way, most 15-20km each way. I try to avoid using it for short trips - that's why I've got my Sigma. :D Unfortunately not enough to charge the ...

If it is the rubber fuel line as described above, I just replaced mine the other week.
Went and bought fuel line and 2 new hose clamps (screw type - better than the factory ones) from Auto One for less than $5.
Bit of a fiddly prick to replace...

Col Voss Automatic Transmissions
9907 4486

Mate of mine works there...

Same happened to mine. I just bought a new hinge from a wrecker.
~$40 if I remember correctly.

Check panhard rod mounts and bushings aswell

Power (Watts) = Voltage (Volts) x Current (Amps) or;
Power = Current^2 x Resistance or;
Power = Voltage^2 / Resitance


So, 100W at 12V will draw 8.3 Amps
At 13.4V it will draw 7.46 Amps.

Using spring compressers will help aswell

Double cardin joint can cost anywhere between $500-$900 depending on where you go and what you get.

You can also just heat it and beat some clearance into it...

The CV doesn't have to be 'busted' to make noise...

Sounds good.

Yeah I will have a chain aswell, but I don't want to just pull them up out of the way. I want to take them off completely.

Hi. I am planning on doing a rear quarter panel chop in the next month or so and afterwards I will need mudflaps. I want to put detachable ones on so they dont get ripped off. The question is: How exactly have people attached them to make them quickly detached? I was thinking something along the ...

Also clean mud/dirt out of disc brake rotor vents.

back to the topic, i remember flushing a system with Argon.? was flushed with nitrogen. any dry, inert gas should be ok? Nitrogen is not an inert gas. there's always one :roll: no nitrogen is not inert in the purest sense of the word, but for the sake of flushing and drying a refrigeration system ...

Other way around... Crown/Pinion.
Should be 37/9 for 4.11 diffs if I remember correctly.

each time I tried to use brakes it would go to floor once then seemed nearly normal Are you loosing fluid in the reservoir? Is there any dripping into the cabin along the brake pedal linkage? Usually when you push the pedal to the floor, the piston seal hits rust and gunk at the end of the cylinder ...

To bleed master cylinder: Get a mate. Wear old clothes. Fill resevoir with brake fluid. One guy hold fingers over all the brake line outlets of the master cylinder and apply some pressure. Other guy push the piston into the cylinder so it forces fluid out of the outlets. Keep enough pressure on the ...

You might be loosing vacuum assistance.
Check the hoses.

Just wondering if anyone can see a problem with running the driveshaft upside down so that the cardin joint is at the diff end. Wont work. For this setup the the output shaft of the transfer case will need to be inline with the drive shaft, which means you will need to tilt your front diff on some ...

Bazzle

The ones with holes are called 'cross-drilled'...

just bought 2 GQ rotors for $56 each at ABS in Seaford yup, got mine from them too... wish I would have gone slotted though :( I just ordered some slotted DBA discs today approx $80 bucks each. What is the DBA product code for these? I have been thinking of getting some aswell... http://www.dba.com ...

Thinking I might go back to the really cheap(ok bit cheap) replacment headlights though. As I reckon they have a better reflector. Speaking of reflectors, has anyone successfully cleaned/polished the standard GQ ones? I think that is the main reason my lights are turd even with high output globes...

Even 3rd's trailing arms aren't solid. They have a 10mm wall thickness though :cool: :D I wasnt even sure any one was making them out of solid rod. Just remember it from a discussion one day. Think I might have ago at making my own first. Then when I stuff that up I will buy 3rds/snakes/cheezy ones ...

Nah they 'clunk' as they take up the slack and it annoys me. A bit like when you tow a trailer and the trailer hitch moves on the ball. I get the same with some custom arms I have. Can get very annoying. Mine have a little nipple valve that you can spray aerosols in. I tried WD40 to stop the ...

My mate wants to know, He is thinking of getting this done ASAP to stop the vibes. The SWB Shorty is located at Ourimbah, Who are the best Nissan repairs, and who is the closest professional 4b modification company to where he lives? There are a heap of 4wds up that way, where do you guys get your ...

My panhard mount decided it didn't like the chassis anymore aswell.
It made for a very interesting drive until I figured out what was going on.
My car must have missed that recall aswell...
