Stopel's SX73

[bigm]

Well The project started today

Basic Rundown
Sr20de+t
Coilovers front 9kg springs and TRD ae92 Blues
T3 RCAs and Steering arms
TRD 7kg front springs for rear and trd blues.
Boxed LCAs at 25mm Longer
ke70 Steering rack

16x8 Superlites, 14x8-10 Group Buy and 14x8-12 Meshies

Pretty Simple. Nothing excessive here.

So got the car home today. made the coilvers a few weeks ago so that was all that i had done.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/27283.jpg


Want to do rear suspension tommorow and maybe mount SR if i can get the engine crane.


The Goal
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/27284.jpg

Let the games begin.

[corknose]

hell yeh bit of an upgrade from the ke lol, is this going to be pig or clean?

[45KIDS]

Will be sooo fat man! Make it cleaaannn :)

[R&D Mechanical]

haha thats sweet good luck with it dude :)

[bigm]

yea its and upgrade. and the funny thing is it cost me $50. it was a sweet daily for a year and a half.
love single wheel roundabouts in the wet on stock springs and no shocks. i think its going to be so fun to skid.

And going to be clean. not fucking around with paint or anything. learnt my lesson. wheels will fit nicely so wont need to fuck around with the gaurds much either.

[biggo]

Winner! So this replaces the ke70 now?

[R&D Mechanical]

yes.!

[bigm]

yea, ke is long gone.

and just putting this out there.....

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/27369.jpg

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/27370.jpg

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/27371.jpg

[R&D Mechanical]

hells yea

[corknose]

HELL YEAHHHHHH going to stay like that or just posing?

[bigm]

no posing, thats with the springs and shocks in.

The car has bigger wheels on one side so this one is probably lower.

Tomorrow ill put same wheels all around and see how it sits, might just make up a spacer for the spring seat to get another 20mm or so out of it.

[corknose]

yeh sweet as so this track only?

[bigm]

i want to have it on the track at the begining of next year.

but i do plan on getting it modplated sometime next year. wont be doing ghetto things to mmuch here.
just clean simple and effective.

[Zach]

Soo dope will defs be keeping an eye on this! Goodluck

[hao.]

Awesome sauce.

[blair]

awesome man :)

[bigm]

Well started mounting the motor today.
its in and its going to be so easy compared to the KE lol. so much room

and thanks to john (xsoarerx) i know what i need to do with the clutch.

anyone have a ma61 or ra60 pedal box?

[dr1ft-pig]

fuck yeah, i like where this is going

[bigm]

well john actually had a pedal box so im set.

the gearbox lines up with the stock hole, the tailshaft is perfect length, so will just get the SR yoke pressed on and that was probably my biggest win of the day

[blair]

fuck yer!

[R&D Mechanical]

sweet as dude!

[dr1ft-pig]

thats a winner

[Joshie_Mcslide]

Reppin the X7's!!

Love those meshies!!

[joeschmo_57]

cool shit!

[bigm]

cheers guys

hope to do some more work on sat/sun. studying for an exam over the next few days.

This weekend i want to

Mount engine and gearbox if i have money to make my soild mounts

make control arms

cut up the caster rods to make them accept ke70 caster rods. cressida ones are fixed so no adjustment, ke70 are and they have more thread cut into them so winner.

[Marco]

cool stuff dude. look forward to seeing the end result :thumbup:
good luck.

[Jdm-Mcc]

Close your flap!

[bigm]

some bogans stole 60l of fuel from my tank when i was on the side of the highway one day.

it has never shut since then

[86TRD]

got any photos with the 16x8 Superlites on?

[bigm]

na not yet.

got to pick them up from my mates place soon.

and only 2 have tyres. cant afford more atm haha..

might get some this weekend

[bigm]

Motor and gearbox mounted. Also super glory stickers stuck :)
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/28076.jpg

modified control arm installed, thought it might give me a bit more camber. its 22mm longer than stock. better than nothing.
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/28077.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/28078.jpg

And more lock to be had, have fouling issues but will sort something out.
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/27807.jpg


A Lil taste of how it sits. rear is coming up 30mm probably.
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/28080.jpg

[R&D Mechanical]

lol i got one of these things for 25 bucks (mx73 that is)


progress is fast and i like that keep it up matt

[dr1ft-pig]

fuck yes, this is sick man, just an idea though... putting an engine like an sr in a car that big is gonna make it harder to get up and move right?? i noticed you have the cooler mounted in front of the RSP my advice is move the radiator back as far as possible and mount the cooler behind the RSP aswell, try making your intake train a bit shorter coz i think your going to need it

advantages are

1. shorter intake train

2. more respones from turbo

3. no cooler in the front bar

4. less cop attention :)

[bigm]

yea i have been thinking along those lines, but also like the stockness of it (using stock radiator so it fits sweet as.

its just sitting there atm.

but yea will have a look this weekend and see what i can do. but not THAT worried about performance, as long as it skids ill be stoaked, well at the minute.

so yea, food for thought.

[Konakid]

Will be interesting to see what it weighs, Alloy SR weighs ~50kg less than the big 5M

S13 5 speed prob got a bit on the 85kg factory auto box too i guess.


Stock is 1450kg, weigh it when your done!

[Joshie_Mcslide]

Fat bitch......Put it on a diet! its not healthy!

[bigm]

yea i think the gearbox would be like 10-15kg less.

The thing that makes it better is the weight distribution, the motor sits so far back, and not much of the motor is infront of the crossmember.

but yea would be interesting to weigh it when its done.

there is so much sound deadening and usless metal in the car that will go. also alot of crap behind the dash.

Will be interesting

[R&D Mechanical]

get your angle grinder out :)

[xsoarerx]

oh wow!~ so much more progress then when i last checked in.

the cressida is more around the 1300kg weight, silivias arnt far off that anyway, take into account you remove the big 5m and auto gearbox and put i reckon 70kgs lighter SR that far back.... its only got to mean one thing... EPIC WIN! when i used to slide my soarer (6M) with crap tyres on the front the thing was like a harpoon, im sure with proper set up front end you could throw it hard.

please take a pic from above of engine bay to show just how far back it is :P

have you thought about V mounting your rad/intercooler?

whats the issue with running the tie rod on the inner steering arm hole? the tie rod hits the LCA?

[bigm]

cheers john,
here is a pic of the tie rod hitting the LCA,

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/28454.jpg

BEcause of the design of the control arm putting it on the outer hole allows for more movement, will see how i go. when i wind more caster in it may make a difference.

see how we go

and ill grab a better pic from side on to see all the room ! :P:)

[bigm]

Brendan, had a play with what u said (even tho i had already thought of it :P)

might be a good, wont be hard to mount i dont think and looks cool :)

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/28455.jpg

[xsoarerx]

Thermos front and rear of intercooler/rad and you should be sweet :P

heaps of room!

let me know what ya comeup with for the loc problem, ordering some T3 arms as we speak :P

[bigm]

haha good man,

yea i have to modify the cressida caster rods/mounts so i can get adjustment out of them. are the supra and soarer one adjustable from factory? might be easier to bolt them in?

and yea 1 or 2 themos on the rad should do it. its a big fuck off IC for the small turbo haha

[ae71]

do you think you will get much heat soak from the radiator to the cooler? what about leaving like a 10~15mm gap and putting a shroud around the lot so the air does keep flowing strait threw.

with that much room you could also put one of those water/air barrel type coolers in there. apparently they are really efficient.

top work BTW.

as dirty as a SR is, it makes a LOT of sense in this!

[bigm]

Cheers mate

haha yea, SR is dirty for sure, but will love it. helps that the motor was for free :P

but yes, the rad is just sitting there now, will look into making a shroud to make sure the air goes where i want. also will help support the rad and cooler.

also also on the weight note, around 1300kg as john said. similar weight to Ceff's and people have success running SRs in them. they comment on how well it handles with less weight in the front. that has also helped me in my decision to run the dirty SR and get it nice and far back. will be looking into a bigger power SR when this one blows dies, probably forged or soemthing with a decent turbo. but aim is to get it on the track driving for as cheap as possible and as soon as possible.

[dr1ft-pig]

+1 mount rad back further give even 100mm gap with alloy shroud then u wont get too much heat on the cooler, u got the room man, id be taking advantage

great start but :) ill be following this build closely

[R&D Mechanical]

Top work im liking the fast work :)

[pen15]

im liking this thread lol

[bigm]

too hung over this weekend to do much.

but radiator is nearly mounted. and IC is to. about a 60-70mm gap so pretty happy with that. also sorted out my rad pipes and IC piping is almost sorted

and just paid for some 220mm 8kg springs for the rear. should stiffen it up a bit and sit nicely. hope to have them by the weekend

[86TRD]

i would have gone possible 9-10kg with the springs , mine although are 6kg are way to soft.

[xsoarerx]

i run 230mm 6kg springs and there fine with decent dampers in the supra, 8kg should be plenty stiff.

[bigm]

yea i will see how i go. i like stiff tho :P

[dr1ft-pig]

yea i will see how i go. i like stiff tho :P

thats what she said :P

top shit man

[xsoarerx]

oh~! call!

i found when i had in the soarer it was even stiffer, but give it a try, i dont mind the supra being a bit soft, gives me a slight bit of grip... slight :P

[bigm]

haha i had that coming.

yea, grip, meh doesnt worry me at the moment. just want to bake hahah, and the SR will need all the help it can get, compared to your 1j :P

just finnished work and considering going out and finnishing the rad and Intercooler. but fuck just it 40degrees at work, gona be hot out there lol

[kewagon]

any more progress on this??? im very interested to see, also would like to see how spring heights go etc, how do you think s13 front sus would go in one of these???? i presume your using the ke70 rack to get rid of the p/s???? bolt in job???

[bigm]

Well i was away the weekend just gone so got nothing done

but tonight, i put my rear springs in. 220mm 8kg, sit about an inch higher than before. look alot better.

also stripped the interior tonight, fuck that dash was bullshit haha. but its out. want to get some dry ice also. but not important really.

yes the ke rack was to get rid of power steering. pretty much bolt in, doesn't line up 100% but made it work with a bit of rubber for spacing.

people do run s13 suspension, but im all for keeping the toyota steering geometry.

will get pics on the weekend, big day working on it sunday

[bigm]

also found $2.53 when i stripped it.

yes 1c pieces.

[Drift_Donkey]

also found $2.53 when i stripped it.

yes 1c pieces.

It all counts in the end. Had a look at this tonight. looking baller dude!

[bigm]

got a bit done today

Intercooler and radiator mounting and piping done.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/30009.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/30010.jpg

Rear Fitment
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/30011.jpg

And how it sits

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/30012.jpg


IF i get time after work today i want to take the motor out and get the mobile guy to come and tap the block for the oil lines.

also tommorow dropping tailshaft off to get done.

ordered all new bushes for the front end. LCA, caster, swaybar ETC.

and 14x8s should be here on the 18-20 december, so will have cool wheels all around then.

once the oil lines are done, let the wiring start, then skids!

[R&D Mechanical]

looking fucking cool man! but why the long piping? why not 90 degree bend then straight?

Keep it up!

[Beau]

big fan of this!

Keep it up

[bigm]

cheers guys

dave, if your talking about the hot side (right) it is because im just using what i was given to play with. the IC cost me $100 unused, and came with all the piping and connectors seen, just need to buy a few joiners for the hot side and im done.

it is something i would like to do properly in the future, but for the price, it will work and will make little difference with the current setup performance wise..


also dave, read somewhere u having problems with the diff? whats up there?

[R&D Mechanical]

ah coolos was just wonderin :)

ah its giving me hell lol the wheel bearing was fucked on the lh side, replaced it and there is still play, (one of the pads in bent lol) its the type were you need to put shims behind the outta bearing race on the axle to stop the movement, hard finding the shims tho, gotta call nissan this week :)

[bigm]

o shit ay, didnt know about that,

skidded fine when i was on track so i thought all was well. couldnt here anything over my exhaust tho lol.

sorry about that bro.

also. i hope to score some camber tops for fixing my mates car tonight, that would be sweet.

[R&D Mechanical]

sall good man :) shit happens lol

[dr1ft-pig]

fuck yes!!

[Joshie_Mcslide]

Looking good man....your on a mission!

[ThatsHowWeRoll]

Lovely...

[Zach]

[QUOTE=Joshie_Mcslide;180653]Looking good man....your on a mission![/QUOT

He's on A Mission From GOD! -blues brothers-

[bigm]

haha i am on a mission

went to make gearbox mount again, and the bit of metal was too fuckin short haha

so tommrow ill go and get metal for that, exhaust twin pipes, new caster rod setup and yea.

[bigm]

got an oil cooler today.

also has provision for senders so can run some gauges

Sickest

[R&D Mechanical]

sweet what kind? i need one with gauge outlets

[bigm]

got it off a mate,

gave him a 100 bucks and a power steer pump. and he gave me his oil cooler. lol

its china, but willl do the job.

I know the ones being sold through ADM (forums sponser) have pickups for the gauges.

[v-tec]

OMG OMG OMG, just saw this, so hot!!!!

Very well done sir, you are the man!

[xsoarerx]

hey man.

have you put your car on the ground yet to check lock? i got the same set up as you now (thanks for the tip) and had a look at it in the air, the bolt on the bottom holding the steering arm/RCA into the strut clash's with the top of the castor rod.

i put some wheels on and droped it on the ground and it doesnt seam as bad, dont have tie rods/rack ends in either yet but best idea might be to weld a mount on the side of the lca to avoid it clashing altogeather maybe.

[bigm]

yea mate i know where your coming from..

i still have to modify my caster rods to make them adjustable (hopefully this weekend, bought steel yesterday.

i was going to make that up and give it a wheel alignment or close enough to and then go from there. so that i dont weld in the incorrect place. but yea i was thinking the same thing. but also was thinking of welding into the other side of the LCA to prevent the steering arm traveling any further, and then i wont have the issue with it getting jammed.

ill let u know how i go. or if u make it first hit us up :P


and grant, ill grab that wheel tonight mate, bring the ke around if ur keen :P

[bigm]

got tailshaft done, $160 so was stoaked with that!

also got 185/60 RE001s for $100 each.

IC piping is getting beaded.

Motor comes out sunday ready for block tappage. then all back in ready for wiring.

[86TRD]

cant wait to see this finished , are you putting the 14x8 from ajps on this beast?

[bigm]

yea will have the 14x8-10 all around. and mesh for extra wheels. will be cool having 4 matching new wheels, well for me atleast

eventually ill use the superlites upfront and run a 215/45 semi on it. but for now they will do the job.

better not rain this weekend, so much planned

[86TRD]

yer i hope it doesnt rain either , i would do 215/50's , i had 16x8 on my mx73 with 205/45 and they just didnt fill the gaurds enough , have you signed up to toyotacressida.net? pretty awesome site.

[86TRD]

updates?

[86TRD]

what are the front coilovers? brand? also what clutch and brake pedals are you using? what model car are they from?

cheers

[bigm]

was crook all day sunday so did nothing. so annoyed.

anyways got motor out yesterday.

coilovers are the Kit from Custom Compact. 9kg springs, ae92 TRD 5way shock. T3 Steering arms (limited run) and T3 RCAs.

Pedal is from a ra60. had to mod the clutch pedal slightly, was easy. and the brake was different so i cut down the stock one.

Hope my wheels were sent today. excited for them !

lol

[86TRD]

ah k cool , im starting to gather parts for 5speed on my mx73 , ive heard a ae86 clutch pedal and master cylinder bolt straight in , not 100% sure but im gonna give it ago.

[bigm]

I tried, they do not


dont bother

[xsoarerx]

get cracking man! next morning session FTW!

got my new setup done.
ae86 rack ends, tie rods, ra60 middle tubes, 25mm longer LCA's,
we also cut the LCA's, added plate and the castor rods now do up from underneath... heaps more loc ;)

[bigm]

Pic man?

im interested to see what it looks like, cant picture it.

and date on morn sesh?

[biggo]

Jan 19th

Im trying for it too hahaha, but yair a pic would be nice john

[bigm]

That is both realistic and good timing.

I now have a date to work towards!

biggo, u better be there, your car runs. your ahead of me :P

[xsoarerx]

didnt want to post it for the world to see but since theres such demand ;)

ill take more pics soon... this is right hand side looking towards the back of the car
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/7/5/31656.jpg

[bigm]

I see what u did there.

i like very much. im impressed mate

something ill do in the future, at the moment i just want to get it running. and learn to drive properly :P

Just got a PM from dave, wheels are on their way, so excited!

getting the block tapped sat morning, then can put it all together. just gota sort out my fuel lines.

[biggo]

so another srde+t is it?

John - im so going to steal your sway bar link pin plate idea, i found it a cunt to put the swaybar on the rina with xt130 lca's.

so to recap, you lengthend the LCA's after the castor rod holes, swapped L+R castor rods and bolted them up on top. How was extra lock acheived, just by allowing you hughely massively wide rims the area to clear the castor arms?

Id better check mine when teh wheels arrive.

[R&D Mechanical]

look for a sick picture of this car with 14x8s in my thread :)

[bigm]

Yea de+t for the win. turbo motor one day.

oil drain being tapped and tommorow ill get my feed line that comes from oil pressure sender that is T'eed off.


also i do like the swaybar idea, just noticed it now that u mention it biggo. will be using it. my linkpin is on an epic angle.


and dave, picture of my car or yours in my thread or yours? lol

i hope they get here before christmas!


in other news. got my IC piping back from being beaded today. and other random stuff from the engineer that needed to be done. tommorow will take my steering shaft (from steering wheel to rack) to get lengthened as its about 10cm short now!

[R&D Mechanical]

have alook in my ke thread :)

[bigm]

FFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

dave, again

[R&D Mechanical]

haha i love your car it should be interesting, do you know how much these weigh stock?

[bigm]

1300kgish

alot less with SR:P

[xsoarerx]

so another srde+t is it?

John - im so going to steal your sway bar link pin plate idea, i found it a cunt to put the swaybar on the rina with xt130 lca's.

so to recap, you lengthend the LCA's after the castor rod holes, swapped L+R castor rods and bolted them up on top. How was extra lock acheived, just by allowing you hughely massively wide rims the area to clear the castor arms?

Id better check mine when teh wheels arrive.

lol... when we lengthened the MA61 LCA's for my S13 set up the link pins were on a 30deg angle and it was soooo S*** house... the hole on the ae86/xt130 arms seam to be just that futher out as well which put my link pin at 45 deg+ so i thought to do that, made life easyer installing it.

your pretty much spot on biggo. when i was turning the wheel before we swaped the castor rod around i was getting about 45 deg now its maybe 55ish i think... i found a problem with this set up yesterday tho (in the supra and im guessing in the cressida cuz we have the same engine X memeber, but maybe not so much in the carrina) that theres still steering bind so the rack wil have to be moved foward...

but apart from that the next step to get more lock will to section out the LCA to allow the tie rod end to swing into it and also i think even with my offset rims the wheel will scrub on the castor rod when i get even more loc so some sort of crazy connection's to counter this.

[xsoarerx]

must add calumn did all my welding cuz he is win

also...

S13 single pot calipers
AU II falcon rotors redrilled and mechined to suit
3mm spacer behind disk
calipers bolt stirght onto struts (no spacers)
win.

[biggo]

what struts?

this thread is winning now hahaha!

[bigm]

wasnt it always?

ma61 i think?

[xsoarerx]

yeah i got ma61's, should of gone ra60 for the extra camber but oh well... 3.5 max i win anyway.

[biggo]

join the club, i used ma61 struts too cos i was poor

i expect brogress this weekend on the sled. im giving you a chance to catch up

[bigm]

haha

well i got my turbo feed line made today. reasonably prices so happy with that

also steering shaft lengthened.

after block is drilled tommorow ill put it in sunday. sunday also using a sand blaster for rocket cover and other random shit.

And wheels hopefully monday/tuesday, straight to the tyre shop for free fitting :)

[Zach]

This has come together really quick... loving it.. can't wait for more pictures ;)

[bigm]

cheers man

Fuck, im broke. no more progress if it requires money. but still should get some done.

and found this in marv's thread... sooooo much win!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UegFcXAueC4

[bigm]

Oil drain tapped.

Can put motor back in when i have time.

[Joshie_Mcslide]

Thats it......If my markII dont sell this time around then the engine's coming out in march!!

[bigm]

for an SR?

u wouldnt have it in u

[Zach]

MarkII needs 1uz!

[dr1ft-pig]

1uz or 1jz... either would be win....

[bigm]

Yea i have been considering building something cool like a 1uz-tt in the future, they are my favorite motors.

but atm want to get the dirty SR running.

[bigm]

Everyone Loves pictures

The Getz had 4 wheels and tyres separate, so in theory i can take atleast 8 wheels in my car comfortably. Sick

YES! Win!

[Konakid]

Nice :)

[R&D Mechanical]

wicked! they look sweet on it!

[spiderman]

Those rims are made of pure win :D

[bigm]

cheers guys

yea i think they suit the car perfect. the colours work well.

motivates me to work harder. hopefully gona trry and wire it up on sunday.

[bigm]

Well bit of an update.

Started wiring, first time doing it so just got the basics done (thermofan, fuel pump, starter motor, alternator). Want to complete it tommorow night

Got my bushes today, so mangled them in with a hammer, found out my caster rod mount is bent, hit a gutter one day when my tyre blew out, owell, will still rock it. did the dodgiest caster mod, to get more out, wont show anyone or ill get shot haha

So tommorow just have to Grease up one wheel bearing and put caliper on, attach everything and then that is done. Install tailshaft if its not raining too much.

Also need to grab a 2.5-3 inch reducer for the IC, then hopefully it will start.

Then SIngle wheel test skids, cuz im impatient, then lock the diff, crash it, then burn it haha.

Hopefully done tommorow, cuz ill be pissed on new years, and wont do shit friday ahha.

[dr1ft-pig]

Fuck yes wheels are pimp man

[Marco]

yep, sick! this is coming along nicely! :) your fully excused from work friday because thats my excuse:) gl with the rest of it:thumbup:

[Drift_Donkey]

Its so close to being alive man! Haha so much for mine being done before urs. Lol

[marvis]

New wheels suit it.

[corknose]

wow suprised no flame because not jdm yo^^

looks good what size ic piping u going and how u running it ?

[bigm]

IC is some dodgy system i made from a s13 kit and some stuff i had randomly laying around. 2.5inch on the hot side, 3inch on the cold side. it is one of the things on the car i would like to change one day, most likley when i get a new turbo. pic 2 pages back i think.

Thanks marvis, looks way better with the front down now.

Got fuck all done today, not in the mood haha.

[corknose]

nice no point running 3" too much lag.

my mate has a 180 had 3" and was stuppidly long heaps of lag .so we cut his ic in half, changed piping to 2.5" and made the pipe derect as posible and theres close to no lag.

[bigm]

yea, and at the end of the day, its only a t25 that will make fuck all power. haha

this weekend it better go.so doin skids on my dodgy driveway with no brakes.

[corknose]

get a t28.

[xsoarerx]

found out my caster rod mount is bent, hit a gutter one day when my tyre blew out, owell, will still rock it. did the dodgiest caster mod, to get more out, wont show anyone or ill get shot haha


hey, got a few old soarer ones laying around, yours free when you want to come past and pick it up.

word of advice, ratten gun your tie rods into the steering arms. i hung off the tie rods doing them up and they still fell out from sliding :thumbdown: no damage done to tie rods or steering arms but it made steering a bitch.

[bigm]

ill take u up on that one day john, got it on the LCA today so all good.

everything is nice and tight, love having a rattle gun and big guns to tighten even more :P


and Cal, one day, but priority is getting the car running, and paid $50 for the mint t25 so all good. will skid.

[corknose]

yeh, but for baking ;)

makes more differnce then i thought when my same mate also upgraded to a t28.

[xsoarerx]

everything is nice and tight, love having a rattle gun and big guns to tighten even more :P


haha, thats two things i dont have and only money will fix one of thoes. :embarassed:

[bigm]

haha

If anyone has experience wiring SRs please check the tech thread. Having issues with my fuel relay trigger.

[86TRD]

hows everything coming along with the wiring?

[bigm]

well im pretty confident its wired up properly. i have spark. but not consitent sparks maybe once every 5-20 revolutions on the motor on different pistons. so this weekend i am testing a coilpack/ignotor and ecu that i know work to find out what i need to use.

Other than that i have not had a cent to spend on it so yea.

19th is no chance haha, next goal is archy on the 12th of Feb. will rock it with half an exhaust, just need to skid haha. getting over this.

[biggo]

fuck! i could still make the 19th

Need quads and the rest of the zorst. But i think ill hang out and pay for some rego instead. Need moar 80's obscure toyotas on the road.

[bigm]

yea im a bit like that too. going to hit up my mate for a road worthy... lol. will be hot on the street, so keen to lay down some skids haha, regardless of where they are :P

[shift_rook]

safety first now, soundin good though man, make sur eto get plent y of vids for me:)

[bigm]

yea ill get vids when i get used to the car and learn to skid haha.

so many spots i have found since i stopped driving the KE on the road.

picked up materials to make the first half of my exhaust today. will have a crack on monday since i have the day off

[86TRD]

any updates?

[bigm]

nope lol

was In tassy over the weekend.

hope to do some this weekend. will just sort out spark and fuel lines as i dont need money to do that haah

[Hazzard]

is it just me or do ya have a fair amount of toe-out goin for the rear? looks like it on the 2 pics that zach quoted.

Hazzard

[bigm]

As it gets lower, moar camber and moar toe in

can adjust toe i think, not camber tho.

[bigm]

Well...


ECU is fucked

CAS is fucked

no wonder the car wont run

Thinking of a plug and play aftermarket option for ecu.

and rang nissan, 1100 for a new CAS, rofl.

[86TRD]

holy shit $1100 , you could get a microtech with handcontroller for $1100 easy , pretty sure they do a plug and play for sr20's aswell.

[R&D Mechanical]

fuck me bad luck mate :(

[bigm]

send anthony a Pm regarding an adaptronic. will see how the price is, not sure what sort of figure they are.

and got to source a CAS, anyone have one?

[R&D Mechanical]

adaptronic is around $950 i rekons.

cheap as and so many functions, get it matt :)

[bigm]

Well think i am going to save for the adaptronic, i always planned on running an aftermarket ECU so yea. i can use my mates Stock Ecu or PFC if i need.

Fuck 165 for a cas now, trying so source a cheaper one, or from japan it comes.

No updates really. lol

[R&D Mechanical]

good boy, you will be happy :)

[bigm]

Hope so

Wont be able to afford it for a bit tho. but not much else to spend money on car wise, hearing back from a mob about a CAS, then it might RUN.


And people, i need some stock brake lines for the front, comeon

[dr1ft-pig]

adapt are 990 rrp, ant should look after you though, id also get a plug in loom too they are well worth it

[bigm]

Yep plan on getting the Ecu, plug in loom and MAP sensor.

So time to start saving.

[biggo]

i rate my adaptronic.

why not convert back to dizzy? that will get shit working.

[bigm]

because i like to progress forward in the project lol.

Im in no rush rerally, not motivated. having a drive of a mates car at archy next week, will get me pumped haha.

going to do lame shit on it now. Seat rail nearly done and tidy up the interior.

[biggo]

Lame

All us non ae/ke owners should buy some mexicans from mexico for like 2 bob a day.

[bigm]

I hope you mean 2c. Because $2 aint affordable. Otherwise i would be keen

And yes its lame, and i got over working in the hot shed. lol

[86TRD]

i wanna see skid pics , hurry up

[bigm]

Haha,

Well not much will happen in the coming weeks.

In the next 6 weeks i am away for 3 weekends with my sport, and they all cost money.

Owell, will happen one day. lol

[Jdm-Mcc]

Wheels look hot man whats the width on these puppies?

[bigm]

14x8-10

THey are the ones that AJPS did a group buy for. very happy with fitment.

[86TRD]

stuff your sport and finish your car YER :)

cant wait to see skid pics and vids of this.

[bigm]

lol na sport comes first always, im never going to represent australia for drifting :P

Took it off stands yesterday and test fitted some 17x8 Drift tecks for lols. thats about the biggest update lol

on another note, skidded my mates car at archy on friday, cut the sickest lap, so it motivated me, just the rain isnt helpin atm. so this weekend hopefully get some work done.

[86TRD]

good shit , so what sport do you do?

[bigm]

Hammer throw

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0XA7eF5A9g

Went training with this guy last year, world champ in 2004. Get to go cool places like Japan lol.

[biggo]

i reckon i could top the world record for spanner throwing.

[bigm]

lol how about we have a comp? lol

[biggo]

sure, you supply the beer :)

*edit* so i saw your signature. I lol

[bigm]

haha it made me lol. so yar


and beer shall be supplied. if the car doesnt run soon ill probably attempt to throw that.

These pictures motivate me. spare time this week since im back at uni, so work WILL get done on the car.

[45KIDS]

man i love this! will be soooo good to see it at QR!

[corknose]

did u only buy 3 rims? hahha

[bigm]

yea, its all i could afford!!

na lol. 1 has a slow leak. i prefer the mesh anyway tho. stretch sits better in the guards.

[skizzamods]

looks rad dude
good to see more photos

[ae71]

sooooo...... SKIDZZZ???

[bigm]

lol

Paid for a track day at QR on May 13th. so it will skid then.

Im motivated to do it, but needs to stop raining since i work on it outside.

[Clinton]

Balla Mathew

[ae71]

get someone to get you an umbrella.

and film this at the track

[Gar-4-age 86]

Holy smokes that is hot are those 14's or 15's??

[corknose]

I thiink 16's

[bigm]

Cheers guys, did some small work on it last night, and going to man up and work on it today in the rain!

Wheels are 14x8-10 for the performance wheels and 14x8-12 Mesh.

Also have some 14x7.5-4 and 14x7.5-2 Mesh and 4x 16x8-4 Superlites for skids :):)

[Clinton]

14s for skids bro. Could get some mad 4 wheel skids happening

[bigm]

hahah, 14s are where its at.

well i would idealy want 15s but just working with what iv got.

Just finnished making my seat rail. its fucking pissing down here!

[benzo]

looks dope as fuck man

Keep going, SR skids will be sweet!

[bigm]

Update:

Got a new CAS, now i have injector tick !!!!!! :)

so with the new ECU it should fire..

also been working on my super ghetto exhaust. so yea. some progress, more to come this weekend

[bigm]

I just got out of hospital, diagnosed with shock.... From this car running !!!!

[86TRD]

haha awesome , hows it go? will we be expecting skids soon?

[bigm]

should be able to tell you this weekend. just need to fix all the small shit (wiring fueses, fuel lines, exhaust, rad) so i can drive it and do the timing.

but a step in the right direction! lol

[Clinton]

burnout vid?

[bigm]

ill do a sick one just for you clinton

[R&D Mechanical]

Fuck yeah dude! im happy for you :D get some vids up asap!

[chaRwie]

can i ask, what size tyres are on ur 14s? looks good

[bigm]

Front are 185/60 RE001's

Back Mesh are Achilles Platinum 185/60 (They stretch quite well, nice stiff sidewall)

Back of others wheels are 195/60

[R&D Mechanical]

done a drift yet? :D

[bigm]

Na not yet.

Im half way through plugging the new fuel lines in ( i dont have the tool to cut the olds one clean)

But everything in the engine bay is now good to go, so once the fuel lines are done i can do the timing and see how we go. Thing the cas is out 1 tooth, but wanted to do the fuel lines first. so yea

some progress. so tired today tho ahha, not that motivated.

Will try my best for next week, but going to sydney on thursday for the weekend so yea,

It will happen tho.


and today i realized how impracticly low it is haha, like 30mm clearance to the chassis. hmmm.

[biggo]

low is never impracticle. I look at the rina with loving eys everytime i see a new scrap.

Fight the power!

[corknose]

take off your front lip off biggo and go low!

[bigm]

+1 cal!

started making my exhaust today, 2.5 inch with a muffler. Yes its to small, but i have all the materials laying around so just to get me going as monies is low atm.

Sydney tommorow! where to go out?

[bigm]

Random photo my mate took. pics are always good, even if they arnt good haha

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2804/4422270784_dd18fb8cc4_b.jpg

[corknose]

Why do always have really long ic piping? With that setup you can go straight in then straight out.

[ThatsHowWeRoll]

So much love for this thing. Engine looks very much at home.

A V mount would be pretty efficient!

[R&D Mechanical]

90 dgree bend with silicone!

[biggo]

i was going to say the local but seeing as your obviously not a local and therefore have no local you could just go to the pub.

Casino if you feel rich even!

[dr1ft-pig]

well done bro!!

[bigm]

like i said earlier, the IC piping cost me nothing, got the stuff with the intercooler and just cut it to suit. when i can weld a bit better ill make new cleaner stuff but untill then. MEH

anyway back from sydney so will finnish the exhaust this week so the neigbours dont complain again. lol

[86TRD]

ah how shit are complaining neighbours , ive been lucky with the house im living in now , the neighbours are pretty decent.

[bigm]

Welll.......


Did a small skid!

it had Dose

bottoms out everywhere, cant even get down my driveway (dont even think about the gutter)

idles fine, think im 1 tooth out with CAS still as its super unresponsive to throttle. laggy

clutch works

exhaust just needs hangers on it.

brakes next week.

yay,

first time i have been genuinely happy for a while lol

[shift_rook]

yeeewwww, small skids are better than none, might need a vid though

[bigm]

lol.

ill get a vid up over the weekend hopefully. only have a vid of me trying to drive it in the mud lol.

also going to raise the front and the back somehow as i cant go anywhere at all...

[biggo]

What springs can we use in the rears with irs?

I think im rocking cut stockies and god its bouncy.

[bigm]

im running ae86 front springs in the rear.

if you get some, they need to be cut, as they taper to be smaller to sit in the front strut on the ae86. i have 230mm 8kg in mine uncut, i cant afford to cut them or it would be tooo low. im looking into other options soon as to new spring or adjustable height.

ill update tonight as it should be nearly done then, minus brakes as the lines are being send tuesday morning.

[R&D Mechanical]

skid video,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[bigm]

very soon!

got it running good tonight

brake lines get sent tommorow morning hopefully.

wiring in engine bay is now mint!! just need to to relays in cabin

went to do a skid tonight but had no lights? they just stopped working and we couldnt find the issue to WTF?

did some skds over the weekend tho, just no vids. car is too loud haha.

but with brakes it will be ready for the track.

[bigm]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEMcC1Kt0Lo

any idea people?

[86TRD]

fixed yet?

[ae71]

02 sensor plumbed in?

[bigm]

o2 sensor not plugged in. will sus that out. need to find one first.


but went for a drive last night, Turbo is so win compared to DE. turns the tyres to easy, gona love it.

[R&D Mechanical]

skid vids :P

[bigm]

when i get home from Perth on Monday and before i go to Adelaide on Friday ill try sort something.

PS, driving around the neighborhood with my headlights at night is dodgy, but fun ahaha

[biggo]

I fixed my headlights, not that i need them for daylight skids.

Hurry up and finish/tune/skid so we can both organise a day at QR. big 4 door toyotas is what the girlies like.

[bigm]

oww yea

im booked in for may 13th at QR for a morning sesh! keen man? with superglory. doooo ettttt

almost finished, tuning is ok and skids has been checked. so just fine tuning till the 13. let me know

ps my headlights dont work and cant see any gone fuses... but have parkers haha. wtf?

[biggo]

Could work dude, i get my wideband next week so i should have a working tune soon after.

For the head lights, you need to bend the contacts int he switch. Pull the steering wheel off, pull the indicator and head light assembly off and behind that is the contacts. Have a beer first cos its fiddly work. Mine took me 1hr and 4 goes before i got it sweet.

[bigm]

payment due by end of the month.

sign up on superglory.com.au/forums and sus it out..

on my way to beers now, dam perth being like 10 hours behind

[bigm]

update.

went for another drive around the hood. driving well, didnt get up to any speed but all seems well.

Installed oilcooler last night, also changed how i had the water lines set up so hopefully this sorts out my idle issue as there was no water where the temp sensor it ahhaha

will put oil in tonight since the locktight should be dry and then go from there.


QR day on the 13th got canceled. so yea, kinda bumbed so gona try and make the 14th instead. or the 17th for the mornign sesh with SD..

hopefully a vid next week. want to go for a test drive.

Also gauges are installed and looking win!

[Jdm-Mcc]

Mmmm do like, wheels and motor are winnah :)

[biggo]

Wheels win, motor not so much but ill save you the diagnosis and point it out now if you want?

More 4 door barges needed tho. Everyone off the sinking ke ship now!

[bigm]

motor wins. lol


no, everyone stay on the ke ship. so me and biggo are exclusive, well more than we are already..

[dr1ft-pig]

dude make the 14th... will make 2 4 door toyotas out there !!

[bigm]

yea i do hope to be there man, ill let u know how im going.

[bigm]

and then the motor seized..............

[biggo]

did it really?

call nissan, tell them you SR20de+t died. Im sure they would love to hear it.

What happened?

[shift_rook]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, what happened!?!?!?!

[R&D Mechanical]

ah shit :(

[86TRD]

well that sucks , i was looking forward to seeing this thing in action.

[bigm]

Well I was driving around doing skids and shit. Was ever so excited and happy with the car!

2nd Gear Dumps no Problem


Then driving home and car is making some funky noises, but there is shit everywhere loose in the back so kinda ignore it.

Then going up the hill it gets worse so i go to pull over and the car stalls.... Hmm so i try jump it in 2nd. Screech Big black lines. Hmmm

Pull onto the nature strip so its not on the road..

Look under the car.. Oil everywhere. hmmm

On closer inspection the oil filter fitting on the block has come loose.. When i put it on i had my doubts the used heaps of lock-tight and then was good. so i thought...

So walked 2 houses back to my mates, Borrowed a car cover and left it there. Thats where it still is now..

Then followed where i had been driving...

Oil trail was like 2km long and a decent trail at that. In that time i did 2 skids ahha, that didnt help the cause..

So soon i got to go and get it today,



So Strat is...

Leave the motor in untill i get it all 100% done. then take it out.. so when it alll goes back in its ready to go.

Get trents block. tidy that up and then put my head on... DE heads are the same as DET, are they not?


So yea..

fucking ROFL


Aim is Vances on the 28th at archy....

[R&D Mechanical]

that sucks dude! no oil pressure gauge? thats the no1 thing you need with a new motor :P

at least all the convo is done just need to swap the motor and rebuild. stil no skid videos?

[bigm]

we were gona skid a corner on the way home and video it... but no luck with that...

and oil pres gauge.. isnt working so no idea...

[bigm]

My mate made this for a rofl. and that i did....

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/43047.jpg

[biggo]

have a beer and squint

it looks like a carina :)

[bigm]

i wish.....

[dr1ft-pig]

fuck that sucks dude... no 14th for you :(

[bigm]

not a chance haha

well got slightly motivated after seeing a cool pic.. so i tidied up my wiring in the cabin and opened the bonnet after i slammed it shut and wouldnt open, was a mission

and pics with few updates. cuz i am procrastinating a uni assignment.. FUUU


Dirty oilcooler mounting - Yes front of the car is coming down.

Where i drive from
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/7/2/43585.jpg

So yea. Just need to save for a new motor now. not sure if im going to rebuild or what.

[R&D Mechanical]

Just throw another motor in it and skid the thing! oh also oil pressure guage BEFORE YOU STAT/DRIVE it safes $$$$$$$$$


But fuck me man im loving your car, looks so fucking cool, lol at the watch sign keep it ups!

[bigm]

yea i had the oil pres hooked up but the cunt didnt work? so was like fuck it.. skids on ahhaha

we all know what happened next

[marvis]

:(

IMO cooler behind grill :)

[bigm]

yea it will end up there.. thats the only place it fitted without cutting the lines cuz i just wanted to drive the thing... and look what happened.. lolol

looks like ill be rebuilding a turbo bottom end and wacking the de head on.. will use ACL race bearings, ARP headstuds, metal headgasket and new rings. will be good enough for me to put a bit more boost with the lil t25 and get me going fairly cheap.

[Pidgey]

Keep the exhaust rusty, looks cool IMO :)
As does the whole car.

[bigm]

cheers man

yea i like it, little big ghettoe.


anyone have experience with flaring these rear guards? they are so solid haha, i lipped them with a pole but still the upper part of the arch hasnt changed shape. hitting it with a hammer didnt seem to do much? hit harder lol
