Hmm, the clicking i cant really explain other that then when i stop heavily, the moment the vehicle is stationary and the suspension starts to reset back to even. there's a click from the master cylinder/booster area, however the more and more i've been driving it the brakes have been getting better.

Maybe i'm just expecting them to work better due to the weight of the car.

only concerned that it cant lockup the stock wheels (4.5" wide on 12" rim).

Recently bought a non-roadworthy 120y sedan for a project car.

I would consider the brakes to be sub-par at best, Bled fluid front/back the day i recieved it, the fronts had what appeared to be rusted fluid in them (was brown). Did a complete flush until fluid was clear and air free.

The Pedal is considerably hard to push. However that's comparing it to my 80 series landcruiser, so its probably not much help. But putting all my force on the pedal isnt enough to cause the wheels to lock up. I wouldnt consider them to be unsafe, but the car doesnt stop as fast as i'd like it to.

Another thing probably worth mentioning, that for the first couple of drives i took it on after i replaced the fluid, whenever i'd slam the brakes on to a halt, after the vehicle stopped the brake booster (or master cylinder, not sure) would make a loud click which was also able to be felt through the brake pedal, This stopped happening after the fluid was replaced.

Im thinking the booster is on its way out, but im really not how to diagnose what is the cause. I'm hoping to not have to replace everything.

Going to replace the pads this week just to make sure it's not and adjustment issue, but other then that, any suggestions as to where i should start looking.

Thanks in advanced

I recently removed my dashboard to fabricate some gauge mounts/fix dash cracks.

Upon re-installation of the dash, all my illumation lights are on permenantly, and i cant for the life of me figure out why it's happening.

The illumation (Red/blue stripe) has 12V all the time, which makes sense as they're negatively switched.
The headlight switch operates as normal, but it neither dims, or changes the illumation.

Is my headlight switch broken? (i hope so, as i've already spend 2 hours checking every wire against the harness diagram.

I'm really stumped as to where to go from here, as i cant leave my car parked overnight without it going flat.

Im not necessarily looking for a kit, As i would say im fairly inexperienced on how turbo setups on carb engines work (coming from a diesel)

I'm mainly looking for an exhaust manifold/turbo combo, How does the carb attach to the turbo? is it just a matter of attaching it with piping/flanges? or are there special adapters to do this?

Chasing anything turbo related i guess, Wanting to turbo my A12 120y.
Was thinking of going blow-through for because it's cheap. But considering draw-through for futureproofing.

Any tips/help would also be appreciated

I'm located in the Sydney area

Thanks in advanced :)
