[svenmate]

FIRST!
Awesome work on the buy, man. :) A truly rare item here in aus.
Pics...

[squish_m8]

^^doesn't need pics. we all know what it looks like :P

how long til she's legally on the road?

[Fusion]

Cheers Sven. Might get pics of it being stock next week for you when the alternator arrives from Darwin.

Depends on my lazy arse and money haha

Done . . .

- Ordered alternator from Darwin
- Sanded back and painted inner guards
- H - pattern gear knob
- Standard steering wheel
- Bushes (LCA, trailing arm and castor rod)
- 14" stockies with new Bridgestones
- Import papers
- Remove aircon
- Inner guard plastics
- Brake line clips
- Remove rear seats and stereo system

To do . . .

- Exhaust system
- Fix the rust
- Send it to Fours n More for . . . big tune, engine leaks, ramflo air filters with breather etc
- Wheel alignment
- New front seat belts

Should have the exhaust system and seat belts done next week, after that it should be going to Fours n More.

Once its all done though, should be pretty mint to drive

Should put a big thanks out to Dave from AJPS for helping me out so far and Javal for checking it all out for me

[AJPS]

anytime man!

[Tally]

good thing this car went to ross, this guy knows how to look after his cars hehehe, will keep a keen eye on this build

[Fusion]

Hmm don't know if I necessarily look after cars, think its more I spend money on them doing them properly haha Than sell them and repeat! Won't be doing that anytime soon with this though

Thanks for the kind words though

[Javal]

Hmm don't know if I necessarily look after cars, think its more I spend money on them doing them properly haha Than sell them and repeat! Won't be doing that anytime soon with this though

Thanks for the kind words though

I think they call this 'commitment'. It's good to have a few committed enthusiasts around. I'm proud to be one myself, everyone always says i should be committed :P.

[Fusion]

I'm still waiting for you to find more time for the Corona! Wouldn't mind having the 18RG and 2TG side by side, two old school twin cam Toyota motors together to annoy the 4AGE club :P

[Fusion]

Got some more jack stands and a hydrualic jack today to do some work under the car. Will have to wait till I have a free moment though

Also booked a car trailer to get the exhaust done next Wednesday. Going 2" for now to keep things quiet, but will be upgraded when I do the engine work later on.

And I got a call saying the 80amp alternator should be here next Wednesday, so thats another thing off the list.

Also got the seatbelts out, ready for Wilshire Trimmers to make new ones.

There goes another grand :hehe:

Cheers Fusion

[keimeier]

nice buy dude will be keepiing an eye on this :)

[stahlz_ae86]

Congrats on the buy, but how come you're getting it complianced as a 2 seater and not a 4?

[Fusion]

Congrats on the buy, but how come you're getting it complianced as a 2 seater and not a 4?

1) No rear seatbelts, so another thing I would have to sort out
2) I would never use them, so whats the point. Having a legal 2 seater is handy
3) Could make it better if I do install a half cage later on, legal wise

So basically I hardly use the rear seats to justify seting it up properly. So why not. I still have all the origanl gear that cam with the car (in mint coniditon) and will be keeing it incase I ever want to change it back.

Any reasons why I should be, that I'm not taking into consideration? :)

[stahlz_ae86]

Only reason I could think of would be originality. I love the reat seat arrangement in my sprinter (AE70) enough so that I'm putting the T-18 flip down rear seats in my AE71. I could compare the rear seatbelts in my sprinter to other E7's/Toyota's if you decide you want to go that way, to help you find the closest possible belts to original.

[Fusion]

I'm not neccesairly keep this car as a stock original. That wasn't the plan from the start. More just having something quite unique

I would have to get new seatbelts made up to ADR regulations anyways, as is the way with the RTA here in SA.

They are better off out of the car, not being damaged haha

[munchen]

you can buy the seatbelts brand new still...i did a whole lot of checking around when i got my AE70...pm me for the info

[Fusion]

you can buy the seatbelts brand new still...i did a whole lot of checking around when i got my AE70...pm me for the info

Cheers for the offer Munchen, but I've already dropped off the seatbelts to Wilshire Trimmers. They were more than happy to help me out with a custom set for around $300 all up

Also looks like the alternator is ready earlier than said . . . WIN!

And it looks like I'll be booking into Fours n More for next week.

So it will be pretty much done by end of next week hopefully is all goes to plan

[Fusion]

Soo exhaust was done today, flange up so I can change to something louder later on. Still got mad induction noise though :D

Alternator went in fine after the hammer and files came out! Works like a charm and starts up better now.

And seatbelts where done in 1 1/2 days, which I was very pleased with.

So better get off my slack arse and book it into Fours n More if money pleases

Cheers Fusion

[Tally]

need pics man :P

[Fusion]

Haha, it pretty much looks the same, just stock.

However I will take some pictures when its not raining so much for Sven and yourself

[MINIHORSE]

This car makes pretty pretty sounds!

[Fusion]

This car makes pretty pretty sounds!

O it really does. I sometimes just start it up for a 5,000 RPM throttle :D Neighbours don't like me to much though . . .especially when I did it at 7am hehe . .

Car is booked into Fours n More for next Tuesday. At this stage they have booked the entire day for it, so they can try and get it done as quick as possible. Champs!

Also got the seatbelts back. Started putting them in when the window regulator thingy failed . . . awesome

Hope to get some pictures tomorrow aswell . . . I promise :D

[MINIHORSE]

Did you get the 'Mint Jam-Auto Best Service' seat?

[Fusion]

Did you get the 'Mint Jam-Auto Best Service' seat?

Yes yes I did. Been trying to get the stock seat off Jay though as I would rather that for the time being.

Why does on ask?

[Fusion]

Cars at Fours n More now.

They seem pretty happy about it all and hope to get a bit done on it.

Should be sweet once its back, than its off to the engineer with side intrusion bars!

Cheers Ross

[sly1300]

well done ross.

good buy. killer car.

ps my mira 'should' be rolling again soon. got another motor, just waiting on a spare sunday (thats not fukn raining!) to do the changeover.
wish id got off my ass and got those rims from you... otherwise im gonna make tallys wannabe-watanabes fit somehow. lol

oh yeah, and congrats on the new toy again. :)

[Fusion]

Sooo thought I'd update. Still at Fours n More, but alot of work done, even with their busy schedule.

- Trailing Arm Bushes Upper and Lower
- Swaybar Link Bushes
- LCA Bushes
- LCA Balljoints
- Strut Top Rubber Hat
- Pitman arm
- Stock Springs Front
- Rust in the front radiator support panel
- Trumpets replaced with air filters and breather installed
- Charcol can to manfold line
- Some wiring fixed

Still more to do though haha. Going to feel like new when done though :D

Was going to install Cusco cambertops in aswell, but Regency said no :(

[MINIHORSE]

One asks because that sticker is fuckling awesome.....I was offered this car for pittence on so many occasions and yet I still regretfully turned it down....Foolish I know.....But alas Im sure youll look after her!

[Fusion]

One asks because that sticker is fuckling awesome.....I was offered this car for pittence on so many occasions and yet I still regretfully turned it down....Foolish I know.....But alas Im sure youll look after her!

Heh, well its taking a bit to make her legal, but will be worth it once it is. I don't think even Fours n More want to let her go :D Thanks for the kind words though

If you want the sticker its yours, will have more value in your hands than mine. Let me know

Cheers Ross

[R&D Mechanical]

Pictures fusion!

[Fusion]

Its away from me haha Not my fault!

I'll get some when its home and stock standard :D

[keimeier]

keen for pics too!

[joeschmo_57]

Australia will be just that little bit less bogan when this car is on the roads.

[Fusion]

Australia will be just that little bit less bogan when this car is on the roads.

Until I put Falcon springs in it to get my drift on . . . . .

[joeschmo_57]

haha and while you're at it, why not get the Southern Cross stickers happening?

[Fusion]

haha and while you're at it, why not get the Southern Cross stickers happening?

Nah rather my frangipani stickers

[Andy San]

lol it had falcon springs in it for most of the time that i owned it!

[Fusion]

lol it had falcon springs in it for most of the time that i owned it!

Haha sweet. Now its got AE86 stockies all round :D Sits nice and . . . .high

Saw the car yesterday. Having problems finding a pitman arm for it.

Anyone know of one thats 145mm long center to center?

A T18 pitman arm is 125mm long center to center

[Andy San]

extra lock?

[Fusion]

extra lock?

I'm still a noob when it comes to cars :D

Are you saying by fitting a shorter pitman arm it gives the car extra lock?

I'll have to check with them, if it does fit at all

[munchen]

TA22 pitman arm should do the trick...

[Fusion]

TA22 pitman arm should do the trick...

Cheers man, I'll try that one.

4's tried out a couple of celica ones already though, and I have asked a couple of 'steering specialists', both without luck

[Tally]

Cant you get the old one refurbished if worse comes to worse man?

[Fusion]

Cant you get the old one refurbished if worse comes to worse man?

Not sure . . never thought of that as an option? Never got told it was either. Haha :D

Not to fussed, as I am doing a rack and peanut conversion after Regency anyways

[AJPS]

im back now, so we can move forward so then you can move sideways

[Fusion]

im back now, so we can move forward so then you can move sideways

Dave! How was holidays?

Not a big one for going sideways, I'll leave that to you :D

Cars ready at the workshop. Got told a few more interesting things

- Fuel system was still running the EFI pump. So was pumping fuel so hard (i think i got that right) it was returning to the tank. So new fuel system
- Couple of bits of bad wiring. So new wiring
- I think they said it was at 12 AFR on the dyno. Running really rich, especially at 6,000RPM. So they have changed the jets / needles (keep forgetting the term)
- Found some more rust in the radiator panel. They fixed that up aswell

So its pretty much nearly a new car after all the work done on it . . lol Better drive better than a normal stock Corolla :D

Should have pics of it when it gets home this week

Cheers Fusion

[stahlz_ae86]

Good stuff, so close now :)

[Fusion]

Sooo another little update.

- More tuning sessions. Running really stable now and breathes really well apprently.
- Reckons that by the condition of the motor, it is deffiantly the original kilometers on the tacho.
- Very minor compression loss on cyclinder 4, also backfires only on cyclinder 4 when very cold. Nothing major though, so will look into it later on when I do some engine upgrades.
- Went in with about 60KW of power and looks to be in the 70KW + range now. So happy its found power.
- Added a choke cable to make sure it doesn't backfire on start up and set alight the filters.

Should be home this week, so than I'll get off my ass and organise the side intrusion bars one way or another

Cheers Ross

[AJPS]

good to hear man! glad this car is at a good home!

[Fusion]

good to hear man! glad this car is at a good home!

Cheers Dave, trying my best :D No point going half arsed on this, wouldn't of bought it if I was going to be

[munchen]

I have a pair of T18 doors in the shed...you could either grab the intrusion bars from them, or get them painted and just wack them on for regency

[Fusion]

I have a pair of T18 doors in the shed...you could either grab the intrusion bars from them, or get them painted and just wack them on for regency

Cheers man I'll keep that in mind. Don't think regency mind about paint from what I have been told. Would still need to get an engineer to approve of them though, or so I've been told

[Fusion]

Sooo thought I would update this.

Its been sitting in the shed for a good while. Been busy with family commitments or University unfortunately.

And to top it off the wiring in the engine bay caught alight somehow . . .

So another thing to add to the list.

Fours n More found out that the carbies were a little . . . messed up. Wrong size jets etc and from a Datsun tripple carb engine. So they were sorted out for Toyota items.

Starts rough on cyclinder 4 when cold, but when warm feels amazinginly smooth and revs to 7,000rpm really nicely.

Isn't any quiter with filters on, lets hope Regency doesn't mind

By the time it goes through Regency, the majority of it will be near new (drivetrain wise). Guess thats 30 years old for you though :D

Not sure when it will be done though . . . depends on those lovely things called money and time

Cheers Ross

[Fusion]

Now sporting Cusco engine and gearbox mounts thanks to Dave from AJPS :D

If I have to replace this much when I'm 30 on my own body . . . . . lol

Also waiting to hear from Huw about wiring or I will be looking at taking it to the same guys that got me the alternator

Cheers Ross

[R&D Mechanical]

Good to see some progress Ross, the cusco mounts are the way to go, the 30 year old corolla mounts are just a little worn these days haha Keep it up, and get some more pics damm it :)

[Andy San]

hey ross have you changed the trumpets over so they are all matching? that would be the cause of the roughness in cyl 4 i am fairly certain.

[Fusion]

No that wasn't the problem.

It's now sporting air filters instead of trumpets for Regency with all the emmision pipes hooked up properly, including the breather.

Main problems where the fuel system, which was replaced for a more carby friendly version, and the carberuttors you were using. They were from a Datsun tripple setup, and wern't properlly setup for a 2TG.

Brenton checked the valves, but they all looked fine. The only thing he could find was that cyclinder four was down about 10 in compression compared to the other 3 so maybe it was the piston ring.

Once its warmed up, it runs really smooth and revs to 7,000RPM really nicely.

Also the AFR was really rich and that was also fixed up on the dyno.

I also thinking their might be a slight issue with the wiring / ignition causing a rough startup. I will be able to confirm this when it gets back from Coopers Automotive

[Andy San]

sweet, so it revs cleanly up high now? always felt a little choked up at the top end.

get the pitman arm sorted?

[Fusion]

Yeah revs really cleanly through the gears when its warmed up properly.

Unfortunately not. Haven't been able to find one in the size I need. Tried a few places, but people in Australia don't want much to do with it lol

[stahlz_ae86]

Is there a difference between the pitman arm in this TE71 vs the T-18/TE72 pitman arm?

edit: just went back to read second page, 20mm shorter :(

[Fusion]

Well from what I have found so far, T18 one is 125mm long and the one I need is 145mm long center to center (if I have remebered properly)

So yeah I think so.

[Andy San]

can't order one through toyota?

[Fusion]

Hmm haven't thought of that. Would they know the length of the part? Or do I just ask for a pitman arm for a TE71 GT?

[Tally]

best is to get a part number man, go in they will search the database and tell you if they are available or not, should be available though....

[Andy San]

go in with your VIN number and tell them what you need.

There is a dude called Jesse (i think) at CMI west tce spare parts who is good with import stuff

[Fusion]

Ah sweet thanks for that. Will do tomorrow :)

[R&D Mechanical]

te71 gt pitman arm genuine part number

45401-19175

[Fusion]

How the feck do you know that lol

Cheers though! Will take it down to Toyota tomorrow

[Javal]

te71 gt pitman arm genuine part number

Thank me later.

[Tally]

There is a dude called Jesse (i think) at CMI west tce spare parts who is good with import stuff

Yes go see Jesse he is a good bloke he will look after you!

[Fusion]

So went into Toyota CMI, great people, great service! Unfortunately the part is discontinued, so I'm giving up. Who cares :P

Big thanks to Chris (munchen), I know have door shells! White body, black doors lol Sooo damn heavy even without windows!

And a big 'lol' to Regency. Asked me to submit an "Exemption from compliance plate form" before pits, than rang me up saying it was a waste of time. Looks like I got fun ahead :D

Cheers Ross

[ae71]

this thread has been here for 4 months and has NO pics....

[Fusion]

Its been to busy being apart or at a workshop getting fixed :P

And I'm lazy haha

One sec and I'll get my lazy arse into gear

If you want pictures of anything else let me know

[trikzlane]

one of the car man

[AJPS]

convert to steering rack

[Fusion]

I will after Regency, its more money I can't be bothered spending on it right now. And I want to get through Regency with little modifications as possible, especially after the phone call lol

Hows the car Dave

[AJPS]

yeh going good, it runs on the bench......now for install

[ke_70]

how pro are the doors painted? lol

the bottem of one of the doors is rusted fair bad... just letting you know

passanger from memory?

[munchen]

how pro are the doors painted? lol

the bottem of one of the doors is rusted fair bad... just letting you know

passanger from memory?

i fixed that rust up before i gave him the doors ;)

[Fusion]

Yeah, and its better than having to pay for side intrusion bars at around $1,000 - $1200 a pop. And unfortunately theres only a few people I can use from Regencys 'recommended' list

Cars currently at Coopers getting the wiring fixed.

Away on holidays so engineers in the next couple

Cheers Ross

[Andy San]

Yeah, and its better than having to pay for side intrusion bars at around $1,000 - $1200 a pop.

who did you ring?

from memory the most expensive ones when i got the sprinter complied were about 700 for both!

[Fusion]

All the engineers on the "approved" Regency list. I know I can get them cheaper else where, but than I have to have proof of qualifications and etc. And I really don't want to go through that trouble with Regency. They don't seem friendly as it is haha

[Fusion]

So . . . black doors are on after 6hrs today. Yey

And the rear window winder is repaired and in. Double Yey

And the gearbox mounts are in. Tripple Yey

And I got a Velo GP90 as a pressie. Quaddropple Yey

Now to get it engineered . . . No yey just yet

[Danzo]

You looked on eBay for a pitman arm? There's heaps of te71 stuff on there.

[Fusion]

I rang up a couple of the places selling them, one couldnt be bothered measuring it, the other one had an Australian version. So unfortunately didn't work out.

Just going to wing it with Regency and hope they dont bring it up

Cheers for the heads up though

[ke_70]

dont forget your baby restraints.

[Fusion]

dont forget your baby restraints.

Huh?

I'm not using rear seats. Registeresting it as a 2 seater. Already taken out the dodgey baby restraint that was already in there lol

And if I did register it as a 4 seater I would need custom rear seatbelts as this car didn't come with any. Which would be a pain in the arse

[ke_70]

ah fair enough. everyone always forgets baby restraints

[munchen]

you can actually buy the rear belts brand new still :P

get it crankin man, wanna see some action pics

[Fusion]

So got a few more parts for the girl. More stuff replaced.

Cusco engine mounts and gearbox mount fitted. Alot more rattles in the car now :hehe:

AJPS adjustable panhad rod fitted and replaced the other one

Cusco Strut brace ordered from Japan

Need money to finsh this off, unfortunately I don't see that happening for a month, even more

First post spec list updated

Cheers Ross

[ke_70]

so no all japan day? :(

[Fusion]

so no all japan day? :(

I have actually been tempted to go in stock form with the original doors, rear seats and stereo gear. Make a rather stock apperance :D

Much required to enter such a day? I mean not from the usual entry fee etc more from car requirment wise

[ke_70]

not really just rock up.

when a few of us make the trip up there for it we usually just enter the car just for a parking spot... easy as

[R&D Mechanical]

lol im trying to get my bro to get his car in it haha

[ke_70]

im hoping to permit up! :D

[Andy San]

this thing was there last year, I bought both cars :D

[Fusion]

Haha yeah, yeah it was.

More than likely won't be going this year though. Need money haha

Hows the new engine going?

[Andy San]

yeah getting there slowly, middle of a workshop move, which isn't helping progress of anything really

[Fusion]

Now have Cusco Camber tops arriving. Going to slowly build up the front end parts, and either do it in two stages or all at once.

Also saving up on the side to get it on the road, but other things keep finding a way to come first haha

Cheers Fusion

[Fusion]

So went to start her up in about a month, and found out the battery was dead . . . again. So went out and bought a new bigger more powerful one. Plopped it in place and found out I have the wrong terminals. So went out again.

Finally got her running again, when smoke came into the cabin. Got a little worried, but it went away after a few minutes. Guessed it just must have not been run in a while and wasn't to happy :D

Found a guy to fix up the rust, and looks like he might be doing it in the next few weeks. And also found more stock interior pieces.

So hopefully in two months time I will be ready for Regency

Cheers Fusion

[ke_70]

yay

have you got wheels for this yet?

[Fusion]

No. I would love to get some, but its 1+ grand thats better off being spent getting it registered. I've been very tempted though haha

When I do though it will be the mesh varitey in 15 x 8 and 15 x 7.5 with around 0 offset most likely.

Main problem I have at the moment is I'm travelling to much to get a chance ot work on the car.

[Fusion]

So, I now have a crossmember, steering rack and steering coloum for the conversion.

While its out I am going to get it all rebuilt along with a quaife rack. Should feel very different afterwards

Think I've found a good place near by to do the work, so interested to see how they turn out

Cheers Fusion

[LittleRedSpirit]

Awesome.

Do you have a camera?

This thread needs many, many pics!

[benzo]

This thread needs many, many pics!

haha this, so many times this^

<3

[Fusion]

Hey,

So I thought I'd finally get around to posting some images. New job means I've been in another state more than being home. So its been more about parts collection than actually getting it Registered.

First up, the new seat for the cockpit. The Velo. Feels great to sit, and its not even in the car!

18609

Next the sweet sound system that came with the car. Probably won't put it back in. Tempted, but I most likely won't sell it either.

186101860718605

Next up is the Cusco strut brace that Dave got for me from Japan

18608

And the Cusco camber tops that I bought off here

18603

That matches nicely with the Cusco adjustable castor arms, thanks to Benzo

18611

And to show my support with a little fanfare

18606

As mentioned previously I bought new gear to re-do the complete steering system.
First up the Quaife Rack

18601

Along with new bits to freshen it all up

18604

I also decided that the fender mirros on it didn't see the match each other and were also a little used. So I bought some more. I will be still keeping the original ones though.

18602


So hopefully this is acceptable to the people who wanted photos. Sorry for none of the car, but not much has changed. Still keen to get the rust fixed, but need to be home longer than 6 days to achieve that.

Thanks go out yet again to Dave from AJPS and Benzo for all the help / gear!

Cheers Fusion

[Andy San]

needs wheels like this:
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/0/3/8/24843.jpg

[Fusion]

Yeah had a thing for meshies of that sort for years now. So it will either be something like that or maybe even something similar to SSR Fins.

Won't be happening for a while though as I know it will cost me around the 1.5 - 2K mark. Even tempted to get MA61's for the mean time.

What car are you onto now Andy?

[Andy San]

Ive sold the daihatsu to clay, and now I'm driving a ST185 GT4, which is way too complex to work on and it does my head in :(

[ke_70]

how much was that rack and pinion?

[Javal]

how much was that rack and pinion?

Arm + Leg + Kidney + Firstborn. Quaife shit is big dollars.

[Fusion]

Ive sold the daihatsu to clay, and now I'm driving a ST185 GT4, which is way too complex to work on and it does my head in :(

Haha thought you might of sold it by now, and onto a new toy. Any good to drive?

And yeah I did pay a bit for the Quaife gear, but I'm doing this Corolla right. Its going to be my ultimate one yet pretty much, done the way I want it. In the end I think the steering gear will be around 1.5K mark and the suspension will be about another 2K.

Awesome quote Javal!

[skizzamods]

Quality work Ross.

[Fusion]

Quality work Ross.

Cheers Oscar. So when we seeing that Cressy of yours!

[skizzamods]

In due course.
Josho is coming up tonight to have a play. It's getting there.. slowly, but yeah, any progress is good progress.

[Fusion]

In due course.
Josho is coming up tonight to have a play. It's getting there.. slowly, but yeah, any progress is good progress.

Sweet good to hear!

[Fusion]

Had ideas in my head for a while now about making up custom sheet metal parts for the Corolla

A template idea for a radiator fan shroud, obviosuly in smaller form

19017
19018
19019

End product will have the corners welded and a rubber strip added before mounting to try and get it air tight as possible, but it at least helps me realise the things that have been inside my head :DD

Cheers Fusion

[Fusion]

Pulled the old girl out of storage and cleaned her up since it was such nice weather

21621
21620
21622
21623

And afterwards I opened her up to 7,000 rpm and stretched her legs a bit

Felt good to hear the ol girl running again

In other news I'm thinking of moving her on

Cheers Fusion

If you decide to sell, please PM me as buying this would save me from rebuilding the AE70.

Cheers,

Why are you thinking of selling?

[Fusion]

New things happening in life. Don't need another item to add to the black hole where money dissapears. Wouldn't be able to complete it for around another 12 months and don't have the space to store it. That and its a little depressing seeing it just sit there when it sounds so lovely.
