Marv's streeter

[marvis]

As some of you know I have been in-trouble with the police a bit and I like to street heaps, so I needed a car that isn't going to draw attention, and be as non-defect-able as possible, or at least look like it.. R31 seemed the best option at the time, but I really don't like them at all, should have gone a KE70.. But this will have to do until I am on my opens/first defect clears around oct 2011..

So, I bought this a few months ago stock, drove it around for a bit, ran out of rego while I had no license. Put coilovers and a few bits in it and blew up a bottom end and raped the clutch in two sessions. NICE, I thought RB30 bottom ends were unbreakable...


So here is the mods list so far...

Engine
S3 "stage 2" head, ported and polished, "Stage 2" lifters, rockers, "32/74" Mild cam, everything port matched.
Bosch Super Sports Ignition leads

170,000km bottom end from auto
10:1 compression, over stock 9:1
AU thermos, secondary off temp switch
GREDDY/GREX Sandwich plate with thermostat, FC oil cooler, speedflow lines and fittings.
Extractrors, 2.5"exhaust


Drive line
4x 15x7 watanabes with 205/50 proxies
2x 15 x 6.5 watanabes
Exedy HD clutch

SR20DET front brakes, hubs and Boxed LCA's
Rose jointed tie rod ends

Superpro rack bushes
Whiteline rear sway bar
Boxed rear trailing arms with superpro bushes
Superpro top trailing arm bushes


Inside
No sound deadening

Install Lukey muffler, gut cat? and remove hotdog.
S14 DMAX castor arms, install modded boxed castor brackets.
Pinnie diff, 4.1 ratio
20-25mm spacers for rear?

I hate this car so much, I haven't given it a name.

[ke_70]

dirty nissan.

[Pidgey]

Consider extwactors sold.
They aren't the best cars if you want to ooze japanese-ness, but for beginners and people that want to lay low, they're quite alright.

[marvis]

Next car will ooze awesomeness hopefully. NEED A JOB.

[ThatsHowWeRoll]

cool. At least its better than nothing! Or is it?...

[StuC]

So did all factory auto's have the higher CR or does this have some funky pistons?

[myke90]

i know you hate the thing but here's some inspiration...

[McLEVIN]

hahah he said he doesnt want to draw attention to himself

[R&D Mechanical]

so he got a 31? hahah

[marvis]

Hopefully cops won't look at it. It's 110mm high, wheels are 50m in the guards and I will try to make it quiet..

Needs less bogan stove stops.


i know you hate the thing but here's some inspiration...

If I wanted a car to look cool, R31 would be the last car I would get. Passages are cool though.

Mine will look like shit, be high and have no fitment. As it's my daily, and I can't get major defected again, or it's 3 months impound for the car.


So did all factory auto's have the higher CR or does this have some funky pistons?

I took 1mm off the head.


cool. At least its better than nothing! Or is it?...
Well no rego yet, so I don't know.. I need to spend like another 1.5k? on it and I will be happy with it for now..

[Clinton]

worst build thread on DC...

[marvis]

Breaking my heart Clinton.

But yeah, probably is.

[stx-16]

your so depressing haha
luv chu

[Danzo]

dislike

[marvis]

As do I. It's not going to be anything cool or exciting. I mainly made this thread for discussion and ideas etc. and people had been asking..

[marvis]

So like, I welded a temp switch from a carbed civic into my thermostat housing for the secondary AU thermo fan.. I tried it out of the car in hot water and it would come on when I put it in, now in the car it comes on after around 3-5 mins, thermostat isn't even near open.. Urggghhhhhh,

[trikzlane]

wow, thats all

[marvis]

Is that good or bad?

[stx-16]

its not that bad as long as the water going into the motor is not heaps cold or heaps hot it'll be sweet

[stx-16]

or maby when you welded it you fucked it ???

[ill-minded]

I'ma be the first to say it.

Your Celica was way cooler until it got defected.

[trikzlane]

good, work is finally being achived, lol

[joeschmo_57]

i respect this build. it isnt gangster, but at least it isnt a commodore..... well....

[marvis]

The amount of times I have heard that... Yeah they share the same engine which was made by Nissan? Everything else is different...


I'ma be the first to say it.

Your Celica was way cooler until it got defected.

I know :( Wait till i get my opens ;)


Sam: I welded a nut on without the temp switch on it. So it's fine. I wanted the second fan to come on when it got hot, I didn't want to do it manually.. I will have to do some more testing..

Sourced some genii? Extractors from nick, look sooooo much better :)


Did any of you guys read the first post?

I CAN'T HAVE A BADARSE CAR. IT'S NOT MEANT TO BE COOL.

[stx-16]

oh ok well thats ok lol i thort you just welded the bad boy straight on there lol

[marvis]

I'm not that stupid :P I'm pretty anal with cars.

Got oil cooler lines :) Thanks to Danny! Just need fittings now, will have to wait until after holidays :(

[timmeh12]

Hopefully you can get rego on it, won't be a bad streeter for what it is! Also that supra you posted...holy fuck.

[japlish]

hey marvis what's it like to slide? better than the celica as in more power or?.....

[marvis]

I have no idea, I have only skidded up the street like this, and stock.. Should be heaps better, much better setup and more power.

[japlish]

i'm tempted to get one of these myself for ''training'' purpose's so i don't trash the cressy ;)

[marvis]

Got some superpro bushes in top trailing arms now I need to put in the car :)

[Pidgey]

Are they pressed bushes like the lower trailing arms?
Pretty shit job really.

[benzo]

I appreciate, dude. My next car will look as cool as this.

[marvis]

Yeah they are PS.

I dunno if you are kidding benzo!

[R&D Mechanical]

I think i need to do my trailing arm bushes, every time i tow i get some wobbles here and there

let me know if you can feel a differance!

[Pidgey]

I did mine, they were completely decimated, and there isn't heaps of difference really.
Possibly because of the panhard limiting the amount of force the trailing arm bushes will take.
Hurry up and rego this thing!

[benzo]

I dunno if you are kidding benzo!

Nah, my next car needs to be street friendly. I want to drive past cops and wave :)

[Pidgey]

What are you doing for a hydro Marv?
R31 handbrakes are the devil.

[racsov]

^ they can work, they are just fucking CUNTS. you have to get new cables, make sure your calipers twist freely and adjust them to be literally mms of lever movement of freeplay clear of dragging, and even then you have to hoist the shit out of it and itll eat the pads and discs in no time. that said, for a street car its still better then a hydro, cause if you use a hydro with the stock calipers they will seize, and if you use commodore calipers you dont have a cable handbrake. shittest thing about r31s full stop.

[marvis]

Looking at running twin caliper setup. Putting hydro where stock handbrake is to look stock and then maybe put a ute handbrake beside the seat so it all looks stock..

[matt99]

Yeah Marv, I run a twin caliper set up on my 31 diff with two VS commo calipers (bolt straight onto 31 mount).

Pretty easy to make the mount for the second caliper yourself or if you cant be fucked, we have a jig.

[matt99]

Oh, and put the hydro master and shit in the little glovebox thing I recon? Should be able to do something with that to hide it?

[Jdm-Mcc]

Thats what im doing with my stanza, hydro master in the centre console and twin calipers

[Pidgey]

HOLLA.
http://www.garage7.com.au/
Go to the brake section, they have a hydro that looks exactly the same as stock item.
So not worth it for price though.

[marvis]

I have seen that. Hoping to go a decent setup, but that is good for ideas..

Fucking sick again, I am never going to get a job.. I think I have Ménière's disease (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9ni%C3%A8re%27s_disease) Have been in bed for the last 3 days and my ear has been ringing for like a week.

[matt99]

Get a straw and get the GF to suck that sickness out of your ear.

Get photos.

[marvis]

Wish it was that easy!

[Pidgey]

That sucks dude. I get inner ear infections quite a lot, my right ear is really fucked up in that way. I feel your pain it fucking sucks.
Antibiotics/ diazepam to the rescue?

[marvis]

Will see what the doctor says this evening.

[R&D Mechanical]

HOLLA.

Well worth the money man, quite a few dudes run them over here and they are sick, looks stock locks up easy as

[Pidgey]

True, the business is in SA yeah?
I don't know to be honest, can get just any hydro for like 120.
But the stealth look is pretty handy.

[Jdm-Mcc]

I could build that eeeeeeeeeasy geez thats pricey, have a go people and suprise yourself!

[R&D Mechanical]

Yeah in SA, people are retarded and dont know many things and have very little skills, its for them people, and hey its already done and ready to go and you can put your center console over it and looks normal

[joeschmo_57]

i like on their front page it says they are "entuseasts". Only in SA. I know the guys. They do know their shit.

:) Are you being affected by the floods dude?
Kind of a silly question.

[joeschmo_57]

at work we have a flood relief account, where ANZ (Employer) matches every cent we put in. We should set up an account just to get marv's car back on the road (if it is damaged). Hope all is well anyway.

[marvis]

Can I pretend?

Our houses were fine :) I just got back from being at the coast for a week :)

[Pidgey]

Marv, you can have my Series 2 rear lights if you like?
One has a crack though, didn't pass roadworthy (which is why I changed them) :(
Possibly swap for extractors?
xx

[marvis]

Post fail. You are like gympie?


This is registered now! Sorted out oil cooler fittings! <3 Danny T need to find an adapter but for at the cooler. Steering rack bush is fucked.. Rack moves, getting new one todayy.

Stock seat is shit.

[trikzlane]

mmmmm maybe long awaited skids time

[StuC]

Marv- steering rack bushes ( X2) and steering column bush are the best thing you can do for these old clunkers. i put a set in my sisters silo and fuck me the thing actualy steers properly and is really fuckin direct. The rack bolts also tend to come loose/fall out so locktite the shit out of them and do the suckers uphard.

[marvis]

It had super pro rack bushes. I installed Pedders nolathane ones yesterday, I can't see it moving any more, So that's awesome. I just need a wheel alignment now, but my local was under water.

Oil cooler is installed, I couldn't put it behind the grill so it's behind the bumper, need to do some venting for it though to direct more air to it. No idea what temps are, gauge doesn't work.. YUCK

[marvis]

Oh I got S1/2 tail lights now too!

[Pidgey]

How much were rack bushes if you don't mind me asking?

[marvis]

Like 40$?

[Pidgey]

Lovely.
Oh, I live at sunshine coast now. Just for the record......
Come do blackall ;)

[marvis]

Where is that?


Got pulled up by cops two nights ago after my curfew in the skyline.. They just thought i had drugs? didn't look twice at car, just searched it. Winner! no fine for driving after curfew either.

[Pidgey]

At the back of Nambour, near Maleny and Montville etc. Basically a massive touge, straight up a hill. If you're ever up this far you should drive it.
When I saw you at AJCSS, I thought you had drugs too.

[blair]

I always think Marv has drugs on him...

[marvis]

You guys serious? LOL

Did you say hi PS? I had hour sleep and was still drunk.

[Pidgey]

Hell no, you auszoku guys looked mean and scary.
I yelled out at you when you were driving the MA and you just death stared. So rude.

[marvis]

LOL. I was probs like wtf who is that. Was well out of it. You coming to the one next month?

[StuC]

Check the flex/twist ont he steering column bush/rubber now. It will twist like a bitch no doubt. You could make a rough one up of alu/steel with a grinder and drill too or possibly the s13 ones are the same size?

[marvis]

Still feels tight! Got wheel alignment tonight. Urgh 5 castor max.

I think S13 rack mounts are different?


Failed on skidpan, handbrake does not work..

It seems to have a really small oil leak? Looks to be from the cam seal (which is new?) Will check it out tomorrow hopefully.

[shift_rook]

ah 31 handbrakes haha, no idea how that shit ever passed adr

[Pidgey]

^^ I agree, soo fuuuckking gay.

LOL. I was probs like wtf who is that. Was well out of it. You coming to the one next month?

yess, will be there. May bring the 31, but it is gay.

[marvis]

Busted my radiator last night... Was driving along highway @ 3.5k then water and steam pisses out of my bonnet, turn engine off and cut people off to pull over..

FUCK YEAH NO TEMP GAUGE.

Looks like it's busted the top tank where it joins? Had a friend bring an rb20 rad to me, zip tied it on and away I went. HG seems fine!

Went to servo to get water etc at Twoong.. Cops rock up so we just chilled and talked.. Then they come over and the lady is like.. "Looks a bit low", and I'm like " It shouldn't, It might be because of the tire profile, It has 50's.. I think it runs 60's stock" she asked when I got the wheels etc and I said that The tires were all my shop had. She then said the height was fine. Wtfffff It's 100mm at rails and like 80 at the extractors. With 55's it will be like 5mm higher?

So anyways I am sick of my axles making crazy noises? I have been told it's because I welded my centre and not spooled it?

S1/2 lights are on :) Looks so much better.

[marvis]

Cooler setup. I need to do some ducting so it gets more air...

[Jdm-Mcc]

Some times if you weld a centre one side at a time it can put it out of balance or warp it and put stress on the axles or spidey gears, then CABLAMO! Happened to me a once or twice, gay times.

[marvis]

I think I will go a spool center, it's loud and pissing me off. It's onlt when I turn, but it shouldn't be doing it at all..

[Jdm-Mcc]

Hmmm, spools are worth fuck all anyway id go down that track

[blair]

Just skid it brah!

[marvis]

Hmmm, spools are worth fuck all anyway id go down that track

Would require me getting a new center, but as long as it shuts the axles up I am happy. Would really like 4.11's also.

Got a new rad, I could on;y find auto ones though :( Oh well, should be just as good. Still twin core.

[Jdm-Mcc]

Mines abit whiney too aye but I think thats down to low oil in the diff, it has an axel seal leak, are the seals on the inside of the housing or on the axle against the axle plate?

[marvis]

Nah it clunks and shutters etc. So annoying.

[Jdm-Mcc]

:/ How are your trailing arm bushes?

answer my previous question pleeeeeeeeeeease :D

[marvis]

All new superpro. It's axle/diff noises.

I'm not sure about seal?

[racsov]

dude its normal. just try different tyres and the noise will change

[R&D Mechanical]

probs wheel bearings are fucked, my daily does it, mhee lol she will be right


notice any difference with the trailing arm bushes?

[Todd]

you should get this marvis.

LINK REMOVED I WANT IT SO BAD DO NOT STEAL- MARVIS.

FUCK YES DO IT MARVIS!!! You'll have suzuka back :)
I say part out R31 (because I'll buy everything ^_^)
Buy it, fix engine, put wata's on it, keep it legal-ish, win?

[trikzlane]

4age in a celica would be pretty slow i would guess, being a big car.

but its different, thats for sure

wonder what a 7ag turbo celica would go like?

find out the diff code for me when you get it, interested to know if it's F or T series irs.

Johnzoku is 90% sure it's F.

When i saw that all i could think of was whether you could swap the irs into a 86/e7 straight bolt style, so i guess now i am asking haha. Could you?

I think I am going to have to do a bit of restoring.. Little bit of rust.. Getting my old shell back to cut up.

Good times.. Just need to sell my Skyline now.. Might get a cheap shitter daily..

None of that better not be pointed at me, if I thought that it was a shitbox then I wouldn't of bothered posting the fucking thing, I would of bought the car but the money I have can't go to a car and I would not of paid any more then 1000 bucks for a 80's model celica that needed another engine, yes it has value but not 2k worth, I have wanted an AA60/63 (whatever the fuck it is) for a long time, just have to wait till marv gets defected and get it off him.

Fixed, Loved going out in the 65 as he gave the 22 hell but you should know that anyway, you still got the 31 or what?

Probably don't even remember me.

[ill-minded]

It's a T50. Toyota never released a 4A with a W5x box.

[racsov]

not by forum name no

[joeschmo_57]

Trev, it wasnt aimed specifically at you. KE70's (and most cars) are quite shit without basic modifications. and they aren't a classc. In my opinion, they aren't worth resoting. Sure, make it clean, but to take it back to stock and and do things to do things like buy light protectors is silly.
However, I am glad that people do that, because then i can buy a nice rolla and make it dirty.

[marvis]

I might have a job, so keeping R31 I think so slide in the meantime I think so I can do shit right with this car. I will slide it and rape the shit out of it, but I don't really want it ghetto.. I don't know..

I want to do the body work good on the aa63, might respray (with glitter :P) depending on how much I need to repair..

I don't know if I want to throw a stock bigport or stock bigport with 7age bottom in to get it running asap, or build a 7age big port with quads and wack extractors and nice cams... Or do both and have a spare engine.. I like bothh I think..

The radiator in it is like half the normal size.. So much cool shit.

Oh and AIR CON AND POWER STEERING.

FUCK YES.

[trikzlane]

pfffff air con and pwr steer are gay, restricts much needed power

[Trev084]

pfffff air con and pwr steer are gay, restricts much needed power

Just imagine all that coolness and light steering though when he is skidding :p

Marv, rape the fuck out of the 31 and keep this respectable, I really liked what you did with the 65 but it sucked to see it put off the road.

[marvis]

It has aircon and power steering so I'm going to keep it. I like the feel of the supra's steering.
