It'll be fine for everyday driving, maybe at high RPM it'll be struggling for flow and fighting against the airflow through the radiator, but you'd be chasing a few kw at best. Ignoring water crossings, cooler & cleaner air drawn from up high is never a bad thing. I design ducted AC systems for...

Got an invite to do a Victorian High Country trip in 6 weeks. Figured I need to finish this thing, spend a week wheeling it interstate & then bring it home to sell. Runs and drives well, everything works like factory. Only thing I need is a 1HZ AC bracket and then I can show people my ice cube...

Looks tidy, I dig the Sahara rims and og weather shield. Under 10,000km's a year average is pretty impressive!

Your sig says it's an Aus spec 80, so you could just use an H4 splitter. Male into the outer low beam plug, female onto each 4x6. Should retain high beam indicator in cluster. The wiring is already pretty thin, better off using an aux harness for it. I can confirm the stock harness can handle...

Throw some orange tint on depo clears?

They don't make it easy for us. To top it all off, even when you're 100% engineered and legal, it's still up to the officers discretion to defect the car. 80 series with a 1HD-T / 1HD-FT motor. No idea on the quality or brand, grossly overpriced, but there's a set of amber lights...

+1 clear corners, just looks tidy. LX corners if you wanna splash out. Pfft, so do we! We just have to stay under a government regulated limit lift, or slightly bigger but within the next tier of government regulated limit. Then you just pay an engineer huge sums of money over the course of a...

One bad plug shouldn't affect the timer. Is the glow indicator light functioning in the dash cluster? 1C Timer looks similar to a 1HZ glow timer. Assuming it functions similarly, check if your charge light is coming on when the key is turned to ignition. Superglow needs to know the car isn't...

Attached a page anyway, may help someone in future. Have you tried pulling the relay and testing it on a bench? Had to replace the switch on a mates 80 not long ago for the same issue, but Aussie spec 80's don't have the extra dimmer relay.

Just to clarify, are you saying you've jumped the fuse or the relay? Do you have an EWD of the euro headlight circuits? I can upload a few pages if you need, not sure if there are euro spec EWD's in the resources.

Either the dimmer relay or the combination switch. Use a jumper at the dimmer relay, then flash your high beams. Should rule out which of the two has bunged up.

Follow standard procedure from a workshop manual if you can find one for a manual transmission, check resources tab above. Going from memory here, this is just a rough guide to get you going. Go to supercheap, get a 500mm 1/2" extension, worth every cent for this job. Order a rear main seal...

Cools cruisers. Love the shot of the 60 with Mt Fuji in the background!

Wasn't thinking, it's a petrol speedo. May still work, I'll get some photos for you to compare against yours.

That rules out other dodgy wiring at play. If you've already replaced the speed sensor there's a slim chance that's the issue, but, stranger things have happened. Bad ground on the cluster end would usually cause other gauges to have issues, check ground wires behind kick panel anyway. Speed...
