hehe. well it goes like this:

Wouldnt start. Tried bypassing the wiring to the alternator still no start. Jumped it of the other car and it started straight away. Turned off and on 4 or so times whilst it was jumped no worries. Thinking that this is looking positive I decided to go for a spin around the block. Made it about 400 metres and as it went off fast idle to slow speed idle it died. Dead. Like it was last night. Got it back in the garage.

So the battery is obviously not charged enough to start the tart. This is down to the alternator not charging the battery. So... a mate has a trickle charger which i'll grab on Sat and charge it back up. Need to get a multimeter and see if the battery is getting charged by the alternator I think and from there either auto electrician or 2nd hand/reco'd alternator. sound like a plan?

before the trip



Glenrowan



Gundagai



been running it around a couple of times a week, still going strong as a mighty datsun does. Still keeping a eye on here and some other places for stanza parts to continue the stock pile for the rebuild....

S13 coil overs, LCA's, disks and callipers installed into the front end. Its been raised 20mm since these photos. Had enough of a wheel alignment today so both tyres point straight and it steers well. ~-2 degrees neg camber and as much caster as the threaded radius rods allow. Goes back to have the ball joints replaced, maybe raised a little and a thorough wheel alignment next week.

When you have the wheel alignment ask them to do a bump steer report.
Would be very interested in the results. we have measured over 30mm.
