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.
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.
Dash cams are becoming more and more popular as an extra layer of security for you and your vehicle. Mongoose has a large selection to choose from to meet your own specific requirements. And we have just the team to do your professional install. (Pricing is for unit only as at August 2021, Subject to change).
We run in one of our shop vehicles the QVIA AR790-2CH, a great unit with front and rear view camera’s. Link to smart phone via an app, with great HD video.
This little project getting a complete rewire, including some gauges and lights, along with some mechanical maintenance. Awesome project, looking forwards to seeing it going..
Functional Stop/tail
So it turned from a rewire/lets get it going reliably to let add some lighting equipment, nothing like 9000+ Lumens out the front!!!
Running a lot of equipment from your vehicle while the engines not in use, this system allows you to use allocated electrical demand from the aux battery while keeping the main vehicle starter battery at full charge. Great for work service vehicles, campers etc. We’ve even fitted to a ute used for show dogs so they can run their cage cooling fans during the day while parked up and have no fear of the flat battery at the end of the show.
We have a massive database of suppliers, online search engines and stock to get the parts you need fast.
Now carrying a large range of a batteries to cover most makes and models, if we don’t have it most likely we can get it same day. We have the latest equipment for testing your battery, starter and charging system, as well as for registering the battery to the vehicle which is fast becoming a requirement, especially in the European market.
How is this set up, great for the animals. Cooling fan set up for the animals with a back up battery supply. Custom wired to the customers specification. Fantastic set up.
