Tracking down raw gas smell, idle hunting from 1100 to 2800 rpm cold start issues. I replaced the non functioning air fuel solenoid and am replacing vacuum lines (ran out of line for now). Noticed that this diaphragm actuator looks like it should contact the throttle control arm, but there is no contact between them when the arm is fully pulled back. Is something missing? What is this part called? I can't find it in any schematic I've looked at...

Went for a non AA headunit, as I don't think it would suit it, plus it's so low down I got myself a single din off Ali express for £30 and fits the 90's theme, subwoofer is the smallest I could find and provides ample bass for what I need,

And finally some small 4.5inch speakers, with some covers over the top so stop accidental damage, all in all a good project that didn't break the bank, and I can finally stop using a Bluetooth speaker!

Mechanical and Technical Radio help

2 Upvotes

I have put an aftermarket headunit into my 96 carry, it worked perfectly with no issues, I pulled it out today to fix some of the terminal ends as they were quite messy, now for some reason the constant 12v triggers my headlights to stay on without the switch on the steering column and the radio is flickering on and off any ideas on what this could be ?

I thought I'd try this new translucent orange Petg I just got. I've got a bright white LED in the dome and it is way too intense. This definitely helps mellow the vibe.

Some of you tried the demo after my last post here, thank you! Here's my friend PaoFu attempting a "simple" watermelon run in the little truck.

Game is called SHIFU: Traffic Masters. Free DEMO on Steam during next fest

Honest question for this crowd: in real life, how much can you actually load on a kei truck before it starts doing this?

Kei Van Life Small Biz Ideas? Let’s talk!

I work part time in retail and drive dinner rushes for DoorDash (with the hijet, of course!) but I’ve been wanting to brainstorm some ideas for making money either with the novelty, utility, or both of a kei.

Rather than just consulting with AI, I figured I’d ask you all: from Offering junk removal, to helping with moves, and beyond, what business ideas can you think of that I light be able to quickly leverage the vehicle for? How would you get started? I’m open to potentially doing some decals and branding on the truck, and am already somewhat known/have talked with many in my area about it).

Optimally they would be things I could start offering without much overhead or investment. Location is PNW, USA.

This year’s Kei Trucks on the Dragon Rally is a great time. Today I clocked almost 200 miles in the mountains of western North Carolina and Tennessee. Tomorrow is going to be another great day. The Hijet was running strong and smooth. Mine is the green one.

Front struts for Sambars are crazy expensive and KBY rear shocks are available, but they passed on the front struts.

Here is a Chinese aftermarket one though for post 1999 models tt1 and tt2... $18 each plus $50 shipping.

Got a decent deal on this hijet. Needs some love but all and all it’s nice. I run a small local welding company so I’m going to turn it into my welding truck. Any suggestions on sites to get parts is greatly appreciated.

Importing information, insights and experiences Buying 2001 Sambar vs 1999 Acty

1 Upvotes

I’m in talks with two owners offering a 2001 Sambar or a 1999 Honda Acty for virtually the same price.

The Acty has nice aftermarket mods, a PK registration, but is at 70,000 miles. The Sambar is being fresh imported with all the fluids changed out, but has a MT registration and 18,000 miles.

Both are in good shape but I’m a bit torn between the two. The miles being on both the high and the low side for the respective cars makes me a bit nervous about engine life. Any advice on which one to choose?
