Oh. I guess I never thought that would be. Seems like a pain for a manufacturer to not make them work for either. I may still be interested if the bolt up tight. Also every time I see one of your posts I try to figure out if there is something hanging from your interior mirror or if your doing a Jud...

I was going to say.. you may want to go through the harness and disconnect and clean as many connectors as you can. I ended up frying a connector on my convertible after letting the car set for a few years. It looked like the connector got a little corroded and caused a lot of resistance to the poi...

nice models, finally a post that fits the thread title!
Looks like you will be getting some airbrush and CA practice!
Tamiya models are sooooo accurate!

Alternator arrived! Installed it last night. That fixed most of the electrical stuff, however I still have some wacky instruments that I will investigate today if I get a chance. I suspect the ECU harness. New vacuum check valves. Started right up in 25 degree weather. Idled smoother. Its back on th...

Alternator should be in tomorrow. have some leaking OEM vacuum check valves I will replace while I have access. Hopefully will solve some issues with the idle wandering.

I got a HF soda blaster and a big compressor if ya don't mind doing it outside

Alternator is bad. I would normally attempt to rebuild it but I can see bits of solder that have been flung off of the rotor so I dont think there is much useable inside. No local parts stores have one so I have to order it. Also found a nest where mice had been chillin in the wiring harness just of...

That's interesting. will be a challenge for you! That kind of wiring can be a headache! Too many hours with a soldering iron. It will be a pain if you are keeping the USDM chassis harness as the door switches will have the wrong wires, you will have to make your own or splice in the JDM stuff. Out o...

The door is unlocked! seems as though the cable that runs from the passenger inside lock lever siezed.
Been finding electrical troubleshooting difficult. The USDM manuals show things in different locations then on the JDM. And the labels on the car are in Japenese.[ATTACH]2649[/ATTACH]

battery is a brand new redtop. Holds charge good and cranks right up. while running the alternator is getting field excitation but doesn't seem to push any amps. Pulled the alternator will take it to get tested. Previous owner was jumping it and letting it run with a bad battery so I know its been o...

So after just 3 short months I finally have title and tags for the 7! However due to the cold and sitting some issues have come up on the car. Firstly most of the instrument cluster has gone wrong. No speedo, No water temp, Odometer appears but doesnt count, Oil pressure unsteady. The alternator sto...

Nice! they really have an aggressive look!

I am definitely down to meet up. Will finally have the car on the road! maybe around Dec 14 weather allowing??

thanks. love the sound of those MVs!
