tow bar electrical set up job


lunchie

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, my toyota corona has a decent tow bar on it and my dad is thinking about keeping it as a tow car when I leave christchurch. The only issue is the car does not have the electrical connection to hook up to the trailor.

Does anyone have any idea how much it might cost to set up the wires and plugs for connecting the brake lights etc etc to the car.

Anyone who is living in christchurch and is able to do the job we would be happy to pay cash but it must be done legally and properly

The car is a 1990 toyota corona manual

its really a piece of piss

there isnt a legal or illegal way to do it .

like its comparable to a head unit . although with less wires and under the car where you cant see it . if you could wire a head unit you could do it

a plug is like $7 a metre of wire is like $5 . and sparky rates are what like 60 an hour ?

or mates rates are a box of piss ??

is it a wagon or a sedan ?

you just parallel them all off one side then run a single wire to the other side for the indicator ( so ID some wires by looking at the back of the lights . and join them with connectors /tape / soldier /chocolate block / what ever floats your boat )

I am sure it is easy but still keen to have someone do it who knows their way around electronics

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
