I have found that Never-Sieze in "open air" situations tends to dry out, I used to use just a nice heavy grease. Try that.

My favorite for a lot of applications is Lubri-Plate

That's what I get for being a wimp about the weather, I was determined to go this year regardless! The Canby show, the two times I went, are the highlights of my 510 road trips, so I am sorry to see you go. As others said, it was an amazing event to bring so many enthusiasts together. As a past orga...

Thanks for updating, I was wondering what you would find. Think of it as the best of the worst, that pump was crap and if it had gotten pressure..how might it have failed you on the track and wreck the engine. I too, way back before I started dealing with Specialty, had a local well known engine pla...

Yes, pics would help, I was still shooting a lot of film in that time period and spent a lot of time at Westwood with the Specialty Engineering group.

I feel your pain.....I have a box of matches I can send you......

Maybe Robyn (RMS) will chime in, he has done lots of work on Goons

Yes, I did get the lights working, it was "just" the failed solder joint, my post above does explain what happened.

Are your other tail lights working? Any power at the brake pedal switch?

Welcome to the site! Spent a LOT of time in FJ40's. Not seen that car for sale here that I am aware of. Looks very nice, that is a walloping amount of HP in a 510, specially with those small rear tires. Would be nice to see more of the build sheet, what fuel was used to get that HP, some pictures of...

Geez....that's a good look'in 510......

My one comment, based on the VSLD in my G35 ( similar to the R200) is that it "lags" before full engagement. It is very noticeable to me, s I do drive hard at times, and, can compare it to my LSD in my 510 ( Nissan clutch pack). I really notice it on toss in, where you EXPECT the damn thing to hook ...

Thanks for hosting and those sandwiches were very good! Nice to see all this time of year, usually we do not get together till spring. I was maybe a bit disappointed that the shafts would not fit my car, but, at the same time my power train really has no issues. It did give me the opportunity to rem...

I would rather be in -20, than this damn damp cold we get..0 to 10C.

Just getting ready to head over to pull half shaft and then wait in my warm Honda if need be.

Have you landed?

What a grotty day out there, with no heat in that garage I am not looking forward to laying under the car. I tried the other day to fire up my small camping catalytic heater but it would have to run for days to even put a tad of warmth in there. Hearkens me back to those years we have all done, layi...

The light's fired up right away, bright and white. I kept my finger on the wire, as Jeff has scared the hell out of me that the joint will fail again...it just got faintly warm, why would it not with that sort of current running through it. Silly design really when you think of that power going to t...

I actually thought about putting some pig tail wires on the headlight wires and drop them down low under the dash. Should the joint fail again, I would then just be able to mount a switch to at least turn the headlights on, the running lights work just fine. Upper switch... running lights, jumpered ...

There was no sign of overheating at all, in looking at the break, I would suggest vibration finally took it's toll on a joint that maybe was marginal right from the factory. It was exactly like the one Andy ran into and it is still going strong the he re-soldered. I will be off to the garage tomorro...
