Suspension fault confirmed, diagnosed, and repaired. Suspension pump and relay required. Reasonably common fault in the Discovery, Range Rover and Range rover Sport Range. The latest scan tool we have allows for us to apply software updates that are often required as a part of this repair.
Old pump out/ New pump in!
Out with the old and in with the new. We loved the old Nissan Navara, however it was just starting to get passed its use by date. We had had an idea of a later model Ute in the pipe line. Turned out to be some great deals out there so we’ve opted to get a new Ford Ranger. Its the base model but its suits us, we intend to do some of our own upgrades which we will document here, things like GPS, Dash Cam, power brake controller etc etc
The old Nissan has been with Terapa Auto Electrical forever., Its done its job!!
Here she is before Delivery, stock standard with some Ford Alloys thrown in as part of the deal. Looking forward to making it our own.
First things on the list of accessories will be a Factory Towbar (Still to come), and the install of the Redarc ‘Electric Trailer Brake Controller’. We usually carry these units in stock due to demand…
Little camper in for some accessories and safety upgrades. Nice bright LED High stop and tail light assemblies. And an updated charging system to tie in with the fresh solar panels.
A new courtesy car coming our way, due September 2022. We have gone without one for a while so looking forward to getting one back on the books…..
TOY002, Our little Audi A3 is coming up from Wellington, soon to be sporting some new wheels and tyres, as well as some new signage. By appointment only this will be made available to Terapa Auto Electrical customers.
Here’s a little side hustle we have been doing at Terapa Auto Electrical. ‘Waikato Wheels and Tyres’.
A fresh look, and a new start in 2020 with new ownership has brought with it some changes…… We understand more and more that people want things to be be made easy, so we are working on bringing more services into the one place with regards to the repairs and maintenance of your vehicle. One place to go to have your electrical gremlins or upgrades sorted, a routine service or as mentioned tyres!!
We have a huge selection to choose from with a few major tyre warehouses located in Hamilton or overnight delivery from the other major centres. Our brand range includes, Maxxiss, Continental, Pirelli, Hankook, Nankang and Toyo to name a few.
Some new continentals going onto some preloved 18inch rims, destined for our little Audi Loan car. A nice upgrade from the factory 16inch rims…
Wheel balancing in action.
Hydrogen Carbon Cleaning has arrived at Terapa Auto Electrical.
Hydrogen Carbon Cleaning, a non invasive way to breakdown the carbon build up in your engine. This will compliment our other engine ‘Detox’ tools like our walnut blasting process and LiquiMoly intake cleaning systems. A great add-on to any tune up, or preventative routine maintenance with the added bonus of potential added fuel economy and performance.
Wellington European – We have had one of these machines in our Wellington Store for a few years, runs on water, no harsh chemicals running through your engine. We trialed a few versions that were messy and time consuming to run. This is an easy to use clean green machine. Runs on Water, Converts to Hydrogen, takes 35 minutes from start to finish.
One of our cars having a Hydrogen Carbon Clean, as well as a stage one remap tune including a cat delete. This was done in our Wellington Workshop before bringing up to Terapa Auto Electrical. Of course all of these services can be provided at Terapa now……
Here’s a very specific tool that any/all Auto Electrical shops should have access too and the knowledge on how to use. Cody here is testing the outputs on an alternator, not only checking amperage output, but really putting the unit through its paces, low load, high load, low rpm, high rpm etc etc. Modern times often means rebuilding is not financially viable, however often replacement assemblies aren’t available, and a thorough bench test will give us a good guide prior to strip down. Very Very Cool old machine, a necessity for any Auto Electrical shop.
We are an authorized dealer for Link ECU engine management systems.. Check out the link website here or take a look at an earlier Blog here of ours which takes a look at custom loom we did earlier in 2022.
Nice project offered up to us to rewire the engine bay in this Silvia to suit the engine upgrade and the new LINK ECU. We’re starting with the LINK “A” and “B” engine Looms, customising them to suit the engine Install and sensor locations. All New Bosch Sensors have been used for Fuel Pressure, Oil Pressure, Intake Air Temp, which will now be looked after by the LINK G4+fitted in the OEM Location. We’re fabricating our own custom coil loom to suit the Bosch Audi Coils and incorporating the brand new NZEFI Injector Harness. A Franklin Engineering Cam Angle Sensor kit replaces the stock Nissan CAS for more accurate Ignition Timing Control. Stock Style plugs are being used where possible with Deutsch Connectors taking up duties everywhere else. The Whole loom will be protected by Loom Braid.
Boost is provided by a Garret GT35/82R and a 50mm TurboSmart External Wastegate keeps Boost levels in check. Intake Temps are kept in check with an Aeroflow Performance Front Mounted Intercooler.
Below: A big job ahead, initial work. Coil Loom coming together, Earth and Power Cables Waiting for Terminals. Main Harness gets its final Loom Wrapping before Braid goes on and Final Fitment in place. Battery relocation to boot is on the cards too for this Street and Track Weapon. The LINK ecu has been mounted neatly in the factory location, adding to the OEM nature of the install.
Some work on the underside of the car also required, speed sensors, earth cable etc, as well as the beginnings of the battery relocation. We’ve supplied a lightweight, very compact battery for running the vehicle. Looks are deceiving, this wee beast offers a pulse crank of 600A, more than enough to wake the big six cylinder up, even on the coldest mornings! Large diameter Ground and Power cables ensure minimal voltage drop for rapid cranking and less strain on the alternator.
Some changes in the building with regards to some extra space has led us to the decision of doing tyres on site. The equipment is in and the suppliers are on stand-by. A huge ranges of brands available from Hamilton warehouses for same day delivery or overnight as required.
