    What are these items on 1uz?

    I know you cannot run the oil pump without oil long, I replaced it for an idle pulley of a vn Holden v6. I have had no problems with this modification at all, but I am still to get the aircon regased

    Picture of your current 1UZ project(s)

    Here is my 1986 Nissan, now called a Nisota. I used the transmission as well to give me a 4 speed auto instead of the 3 speed it was fitted with. It is not quite finished, new bullbar and rear bar to go as well as I need to finish the side rails.

    Idling Problems

    I have fitted my ECU under the air con in my Nissan, so I hope this is not going to be a problem here also, I have fitted my ECU with the plugs to the bottom. I thought it should be ok, as I have fitted it the same as the original fit in the half cut I brought.

    Idling Problems

    I think 31, 32, and 33 all are power in, I think 33 could be battery memory as it goes to the main fuse box, I am working from memory and I can not check as my wiring book is in my Nissan and It is all wrapped in Plastic as I am in the middle of repainting it. Did water get into your ECU or...

    Sideshow, looking at the gauge I think I would use it as a stand alone temp gauge for water for me, I only have the one arm, and when driving I like to not have to pres buttons for other functions. When you get the gauge into Australia I would like to have one. John

    manual torque lockup switch

    The way I understand it is that as I have fitted the engine & gearbox into my Nissan the ecm (computer) might never decide it has the right parameters to switch on the t/c lockup clutch, as I think it looks at speed, throttle and gearbox line pressure. This is why I am looking at this now as...

    Keeping it cool

    When I started my engine conversion I tested a few things one of which was I removed the thermostat and tested it by bringing it to the boil on the stove. I am starting to think it would be a good idea to buy a good gauge to fit in my Nissan but test it against my thermostat on the stove, this...

    manual torque lockup switch

    Has anyone made there own manual lockup for a Toyota Crown Gearbox, as I am using this in a 4X4. This would be good, as it would give me engine braking as well to help when towing. I have been looking on this site and other sites for information on locking up the torque converter for my...

    Max is you radiator a conventional one or a cross flow, the reason I am asking it looks like a conventional type (up and down cores) and it appears to have the bottom hose going to the top tank, that would be unusual.

    How to convert hydraulic clutch fan with electric fans.

    I don’t think it made any difference not having the sensor and power to the pump, mind you I do not have my Nissan patrol on the road yet as I still have to make a tail shaft between the gearbox and transfer case. I have run the motor though up to operating temp quite a few times, sorting out...

    Keeping it cool

    Yes I would bleed the air, if any from under that bolt as the air is around the thermostat so it may not be working properly. It also might help to put the nose of the vehicle uphill and turn on the heater when you do this as the air can get locked at the back of the motor. I always do this when...
