Got a bit bored this arvo after I realised I didn't have a wheel bearing to replace my fscked one with.

I had a 3.25 inch speco RPM tacho, with an internal shift light that I got years back, so I dismantled the housing on the tacho, took the internals out and put them into the dash where the clock was. I accidentally broke the plastic that goes over the front of the cluster, but it was a shitty green color so I'll just the broken one down to a Perspex place ad get them to bang up a new one. It's basically just flat plastic.

The tacho itself is sitting on a bit of an angle, so I'll need to fix that, but it's 10:21pm and I cbf fixing tonight.

Nice! Looks like a pretty good fit. Was the car originally an auto or something? Struggling to understand why they would put out a manual without a tacho.

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.


It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

Luke,

As far as I'm aware, the ADM models all had clocks in place of the tachos. You can buy a direct plug in AE71 tacho dash for like $50, but I had the parts laying around and thought I would give it a crack. Its almost a perfect fit, just needs to be pulled back out, and realigned so it is centred inside the circle housing. The one issue I had was trying to get the internals to sit flat behind the dash, as there is a raised bit of plastic which accomodates a major dash plug in the way.

I'll pull it back out eventually, and dremel it down, and I reckon I can get it to be a well snug fit.

Cheers,
Shazza

So being my cake day today, I decided that i'd rather not work, and go about fixing up the rig a bit instead.

It was in desperate need of a service, and was running rough. And looked a bit rough (in my opinion anyway)

So, having recieved a $100 Autobarn gift card this morning, it was off to the shop. Came back with

- Oil
- Oil Filter
- Air Filter
- Fuel Filter
- Sparg Plugs
- Coolant
- Thermostat
- Black Paint
- Sandpaper

First, I done the service. Stupidly easy to access these motors. 4 spark plugs up the top, and the oil filter right next to it.

Once the oil change and spark plugs were done, I quickly swapped the air filter over, and begun dismantling the car. I pulled of the rear bar as it had a ding in it, and was all faded, so i used the heatgun to pop the ding out, and then used a window tinting knife to cut small bits of flaking plastic off. Then took it outside and resprayed it.

The front bar I sprayed in place as it didn't need any "panelbeating" so I painted that, as well as the grill, wiper blades. rear plastic on C pillar and the headlight surrounds. Looks so much better now IMO. Also hooked up the speco gauge, and it works a treat.
