Technical Section or How to fix it

BTW is the sandman's body you intend to do this to already molested? there would be some people who would question the sanity of such a mod to a classic.

Mine is a genuine classic
But it's gunna be a highly modified genuine classic also.

I have'nt got a problem with that, The sandy van should be thankful it was headed to the squashers!!!
I saved it's life - I'm sure she wont' mind strapping on a set of 15x10 gts rims....

probably the post Daz was thinking of was from SXV and had some great shots of some of the work put into flaring the guards etc.

Do you remember if he's done some serious chassis modifications?
Also what tyres was he running on those massive tubs?

Cheers for the photo's I've never seen it before.

hes done some great chassis mods as for what tyres i dont know sorry

kentucky fried loom

ok well my looms been cooked and i need to no what amps the burnt wires are im thinking the dark green would be 10amp the purple ones 15amp and the brown ones 25amp but thats just a guess so does anyone know?


and in this photo im thinking the yellow wire (shown in photo) that plugs into the same slot as the pink resistor wire would be 10amp ????
and does anyone know where i could get some of that pink resistor wire
would supercheap have it or would i have to go to a auto electrician to get some?

cheers jake

best to go to an autoelec, then you know you have the right stuff.

You can get an ignition resistor (Supercheap, Repco etc) to use on the coil.
Where abouts did the pink wire start to melt (not fuse box side)?

well ummm from what i can work out it comes from the firewall connector and go's straight to a plug above the steering column it doesnt got thru fuse box?????

On the engine side of the firewall connector...... Where does it go to?

i have no idea ill have a look tomorrow where should it go??

What model is it?

hj

I'll have a look for you tomorrow.

cheers mate thanks for the help

Does your carby have an electric choke?

nope auto all tho i dont think it works lol

Just trying to think where the pink wire would go to in the engine bay on a pre-pollution motor.

i would go have a look but my vans all raped up plus i dont no where my torch is

does any one know how to put a ballast resistor in can i use that insted of the resistor wire ??????????? if so where how cos iv been told resistor wires to hard to find and im better off putting a inline resistor in ?
cheers jake

Can't find my wiring book for your HJ yet.
Yes you can put a ballast resistor in a supply wire from the ignition switch.
You could put it on the side of the coil or hide it inside if you wish.As long as it can air to cool the resistor down.

so one more dumb one for ya agro what do i do with the resistor wire if i put a ballast resistor in just take it out and put a ballast resistor in ignition power feed ?????
cheers jake

ok i lied theres one more

as you all know now i know nothing about electrics
so on my gts dash im puting in it has a cream wire split into a cream that comes from the main plug into the taped up dash loom (shown in photo) the cream wire has white tape stuck to it with (black earth under sill back tail lights) and on the other side it has(goes to black earth at asre end under drivers sill)and iv looked under the sill theres no black earth there
so anyone know why it would of been put in and/or what i should do with it ??

oh plus the orange wire for the clock i believe? where at the fuse box does that go to ?


cheers jake

From memory the HJ GTS dash had the "BRAKE" and "HIGH BEAM" warning lights under the clock.
IF SO, do the cream wires go to the "BRAKE" warning light.

If it's YES then the spare cream wire will go to the switch on the handbrake.

OPPS! missed one.
The orange wire will go to a fuse which has constant power.

thanks agro i think iv worked it all out now
and hopefully that was the last wiring related question

Pink wire on a HZ goes to the idle solenoid on the carby, a solenoid for the vacuum control to dissy (Near the carby), Kick down switch (Auto & on the accelerator pedal inside), reverse light switch, guages.
