amp wire
From what I recall the amp wire is a 12v source not a ground. The easiest way to check this would be to use a multimeter. I had hooked up an amp in my fj40 to use with my ipod and no deck as the deck got stolen while in South America and I believe I just hooked the ampwire form the...
amp wire.
I suspect that you have 2 accessory turn on's as you want to have power to turn on the deck unit as soon as the car is turned on to acc or started. The subwoofer amp is turned on only when you play music so this wire should turn on the amp. The amp does not need to be drawing power...
So i've been itching to get a diesel troopie from either new zealand or Australia. After doing some importing research and looking at whats available I think australia is my best bet. I am wondering if two troopies could fit in a container and if so if anyone would be interested in spliting...
I was wondering about bringing in a 25 + year old cruiser to cali from New Zealand. This is what I discovered after reading the CA health and safety standards. The CA ARB gets its power from this code. If your vehicle engine is not EPA certified (the toyota letter or a EPA sticker) then the...
As far as the california import goes. If the DMV agent handling your paperwork really knows the rules I believe that if the vehicle if newer than 1968 it has to have epa smog standards to register in ca despite diesels being smog exempt from testing (I looked into this extensivly a while ago)...
Hey everyone I’m not sure if I’m supposed to post this here but I just had my 1977 f-40 stolen and would like to recover it. It is factory red with white fiberglass top, it has a safari snorkel and a crack in the front window on the drivers side which is very noticeable. It was stolen from the...
In your experience was the RI able to give your vehicle a sticker showing emissions conformity? Because if not I would think that acording to the laws I read you would still have to go through the testing process to get emissions conformity if the DMV stuck to their laws
California Diesels
For those of you that got diesels registered in CA you are lucky and they are cracking down by enforcing the existing laws. Bottom line most dmv personal do not know the rules. A diesel cannot be legeally registered in CA without the emmissions sticker showing it passes...
I was traveling around New Zealand and noticed a landcruiser 70 series that was advertised with a 2.8 L Diesel and was curious what engine that was i was unaware that any cruisers came with this size engine
I noticed that my allignment was a little squerly after adding new shackles and springs I had some shims put under the axel which really helped. THe shims also helped with preventing the cruiser from following the cracks in the road also. Your allignment may be out a little because although...
A couple of times on my cruiser I have had those same clicking noises you are refering to and my cruiser will not start batter voltage is fine. If I directly connect my jumper cables from the positive battery to where the starter switching wire is on the starter It starts straight away. You...
So far this is what I found out about California vehicle registration. The air resource board told me that any vehicle 1975 or newer had to conform to California emissions standards. Even though diesel vehicles are smog except they still have emissions standards. This means that to register a...
