t18 its leen and green and rearended

[sdm86]

Bought mint t-18 out of the paper about a fortnight ago for a pretty good price, pretty awesome paint, chrome bumpers in perfect nick, badges nice and shiny,
pretty well perfect condition with only little bit of rust on the passenger door and little spots here or there,

i bought the car completely stock from a nice little old lady in the quiet suburb of gijiganup(about an hour out of perth)

drove the car home, pretty happy with my buy, was getting me to work and all that crap,

as we speak, it has a blown head gasket,

ive bought some Rims for the beast, just need some longer wheel studs.


after just selling the s13 pig i now have funds for me 4-age conversion, and some suspension and locker diff

will post more pics up when i get a hold of the camera.

[resol]

looks mint(y) lol. didnt know they came out in such a colour, respray?

look forward to seeing more of these things getting modified.

[shorty]

for a tgayteen she seems pretty nice actually

pending more pics and pics of wheels ;)

[JinxD]

belive it or not this car hasnt been resprayed its acutley a rare factory color (slightly metalic) ... this car is so mint even came with some pimp old school driving gloves... true grandma spec

[sdm86]

another pic from my phone, awaiting on usb cord to upload more of the interior and engine.

[Sherlock]

Very unique colour, I like it. Now just needs dish and dumped-ness :lol:

[sdm86]

rims have dish, not much, not sure of the offset, but there 14x6 and fill the guards perfect,
yes.
thinking going on the dodge and getting some AU springs and chopping in half??

[sdm86]

pictures of the rims
tyres are 185/70's

picked up from a guy off here, goes by the name of todd. good guy picked em up with tyres for a clean $280 (one tyre has a small puncture)

**just need to polish them up, bit dirty**

Well it depends what you want from the car. If you just want a drift hack, then sure go for it.

But, this car is an absolutley mint example of a TE72. there's bugger all of them left and this one is in excellent condition, so i for one would be against doing dodgys on it. There's heaps of good parts and information out there, so do your research before rushing into anything :)

Ahh, challengers, nice. They go very well on T-18's, when they have the right offset :lol: Yours would be about a +15 - +18 offset. not ideal, but they'll do.

Tough T-18 thread (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/board/index.php?showtopic=25510&st=0&start=0)

Good luck with it mate!

[sdm86]

yeah, that thread is pretty sweet, unfortunately theres a few gay ones in there.

the ute is awesome, seen that before

yeah my mate is "upgrading" to coil overs for his 86, so hopefully might be able to use his for on the cheap.

just not sure if it will all fit,

but yes, after the 4-age
locker diff.
and some spenshion... exciting times at the moment.

*EDIT* that cream one is "just half steppins" t18s yes ?

[Todd]

hey man i found your thread.
good to see those wheels are coming in use for the t18.

have NEVER seen one that colour though...
i have those wheels studs for the wheels actually because they don't fit my new ssr's so you can have them if u like.

swap for normal nuts?
anyway looks good.
peace.
todd.

[Beserker99]

Whoah!

Are you the friend of Mikes, with the CA18 conversion in his AE86?

If so...even if not....damn you with your $500 rego'd T18. Mine was $150 but not rego'ed :(

[Javal]

Yes, the cream one is Just Half Steppin's (JHS). Along with the black one. which was once a yellow one. And two white ones before that. And a grey one aswell.

loks nice and tidy man good find!

[sdm86]

yeah cheers mate,




does anyone know if a suspension set-up from an ae86 would go straight on, I'm pretty confident the shocks would, but not to sure about springs, anybody know any good springs that would suit the t18 ?

cheers.

Shocks are the same size, although you have to change the gland nuts to suit.

TE72 and AE86 rear springs are the same.

Front ones are different, AJPS does some though i think, AE86 springs SORT OF fit.

[sdm86]

haha by "Sort of" do you mean "smack it with a hammer and see where it goes"
or do you have to modify the struts

No, they just don't sit in the spring seat properly.

Best long term thing to do IMO would be to upgrade to a XT130 Corona or RA60 Celica strut.

[sdm86]

what about the 86's ?

theres an ra60 being wrecked i heard in the local pick a part.
would that be easier ?

The AE86 strut is, in ADM form, a downgrade from the TE72 strut. The AE86 strut has smaller brakes and a different spring seats + strut top, different strut top. Different brake caliper mount spacing, and i'm not sure about the stub axle.

Yes, you can put vented rotors (and matching calipers) from a JDM AE86 on them, but this is barely an upgrade, they will only be more consistent under hard use.

On the AE86 strut, there is scope for improvement. The FC RX-7 Caliper + Mini Cooper Rotor is one common one, as is Commodore caliper / magna rotor. There are 'bolt on' upgrades available from a number of Chinese companies, but, their Chinese, and junk. ab-so-lute JUNK.

The XT130 strut uses the same size shock as an AE86 and TE72, so there's a good selection.

From the Caliper and rotor are bigger than a standard AE86 / TE72, albiet still non-vented. There is a better scope for simpler upgrades though.

Hilux Calipers + Peugeot Rotors are a very common upgrade.

And there is a kit which is almost finished to put an R32 GT-R caliper and 300ZX rotor on them.

I only suggested the RA60 cause they have moderately sized vented brakes standard, but there are some issues with the strut causing positive camber.

Oh, edit:

The best plan with ANY of these struts is to turn them into coilovers.

And there's also an upgrade for the T-18 strut floating around (JHS had it on one of his) using a Cortina caliper and Magna rotor.

[Konakid]

Josh, shutup, the 86 strut has 2mm smaller brakes, its not a downgrade, its actually an upgrade because you can now buy decent high temp pads!

Magna caliper is the same problem as t18 caliper, can't get any decent pads.

Corona struts are like lead, don't bother. Just get some 86 coilovers and redrill one strut hole.

The AE86 and TE72 brakes in standard form are just as bad as each other.

Truth about the pads.

The corona struts are no heavier than AE86 ones.

[sdm86]

probably best to go for the AE86's then ?
be easier to source the right parts and all the kinda crap ?

[sdm86]

will be going towards some coilovers ASAP

[sdm86]

so the decision is made,
4-age
suspension
strut and probably break "upgrade"

on tuesday I'm grabbing the studs off todd, so will take some pictures off the car with the rims. :)

[Konakid]

I also said that corona struts were heavier, anyway...

What pads are available for the t18 and cortina calipers? There are almost none other than a small street pad upgrade I'm sure.

Why are T 18 struts junk? If they are turned into coilovers they can still house the same shock as 86 strut, its just the brakes on them that are the problem, making much more sense to go with the 86 strut.

[sdm86]

the brakes are tiny !!
i can basically put my hand around them.
and drums on the back (n)(n) drums FTL unless i wanna lock the handbrakes :) *edit* which is always fun, untill you get bald spots.

WRONG WRONG and WRONG

Series 1 T18 struts are junk...ditch them...

Corona struts ARE heavier

Can get decent pads for both the T18 AND Cortina Calipers....NOT WORTH IT THOUGH



AE86 Struts are the logical way to go....

by going AE86 Struts you have the easy upgrades available, correct sized spring seats, etc...


the only thing Javal got right was the RA60 struts causing POSITIVE camber in STD form.....

and the only thing KonaKid got right was that 2mm size difference ISNT a down grade....[/b]

Cheers for that one Jesus :fap:

You know, i try to do a good thing by listing the guys options instead of blasting him with 100 posts of 'search, faggot'.

I didn't set out to make a list of stock strut upgrades, instead listing WHICH STRUTS HAVE THE BEST POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE UPGRADES.

MOST of my information is correct. Quick being such an perfectionist prick and go back to worrying about the fitment on your 15 x 9 +11's.

d1dooney:

I'm still going to reccomend the corona struts if you plan to take this car seriously.

But hey, if you just want to bust skids then why not just do it half arsed anyway.

Whatever you do, coilover it.

Javal out.

[Javal]

4agteketo: you will have PM shortly.

d1dooney: sorry for clogging your thread, i will swap thoughts with 4agteketo via pm to see if we can both agree on something.

Also, one thing would help:

What do you really want to do with the car, long term and short term.

[sdm86]

short term - RUNNING daily driver
Long term - full time drift pig. :)



working full time and living at home paying no board, pretty lucky, so basically 100% of funds will be thrown at the car :)

AE86 struts with JDM brakes would be a go-er i think, with the potential to upgrade to FC RX-7 brakes later on.

anybody know cheap and effective way of removing rust ?
will post picture of damage later this afternoon. B)

[sdm86]

PICS OF RUST ha

The first two pics show the rust which is about half way down the car on the passenger side right at the bottom

the second one is just behind the tyre on the guards on both sides, about the same damage

theres also tiny spots and crap like that in and around and under the bonnet :)

would this be a simple bog job ? :o


*edit* the rust is about 40mm long on the side

[superbmobile]

get a grinder with a grinding disc or a flap disc and grind the rust away. then get some rust converter and treat the surrounding area.
after that get some metal bond stuff or fibreglass filler and fill it in. Then use some standard body filler to get it super smooth.
If ya got a welder, weld a small piece of sheet metal in then body fill over that. Its not that nessicary though in your situation. The above method shouuld serve effective on a small surface of rust.

[sdm86]

yeah its not massive, but its just pissing me off, knowing its going to keep getting bigger.
so basically just get some fiberglass filler ?

[Beserker99]

yeah man just a fibre filler will do. But if you can you might as well get the metal filler stuff. Its alot stronger and will last longer than a plain fibre glass filler, rust shouldnt come back with it cause it uses stainless steel and it also uses fibreglass aswell for extra strength. Septone makes the stuff under the name (Metal Tech). Its good and pretty cheap.

Yeap sure is. Most of the rust is all gone now. I have yet to fix that door....but I finally drove the car for the first time today after purchasing the car the odd 6 months ago :)

Had to work on the other side of my car now. So hopefully in a couple weeks or so it'll finally hit the pits for rego.

[sdm86]

which pits do you find are the easiest ?

do i need engineers certificate for the conversion(4-age)

[sdm86]

today i put the rims on the car, in the other pictures they were fairly dirty and dusty, so cleaned them up, and fixed the puncture.
hope you enjoy the pictures. :rolleyes:

the fronts rub, but I'm guessing its because it still feels like I'm driving a boat,
so some stiffer shocks/spirng set up, just to get me from A-B at the moment. :huh:


Engine conversion will be starting on Monday and hopefully finished before the weekend :) (y) :D (y)

will post more pics ASAP B)

[Todd]

yeah they sit on her pretty nicely man.

I'm thinking you should get a lower profile tyre though because those ones look like a tractor haha same problem i had with them on my ke70

but yeah drop her a good 4-6 inches and u will be laughing.

[sdm86]

conversion starting on monday hopefully, can't really do much without ae71 steering rack and column though.

:)

todd - will send money on monday or tuesday.

[Todd]

no worries dude I'm not in a rush for anyting.

[Gullie]

oh man that looks sweet!! nice work

[Todd]

HOOORAYYY

now i get my 20 bucks haha nearly anyway.
nah its good to see it in the engine bay.

ps if u end up coming over tomorrow or whenever and ur bumpers and diff are gone, it wasnt me.

fuck you toddles you over jelos fag boy


haha we will go for a mad dog drag
4age
or your zoopercharge piece of shit

[Todd]

well u mayaswell come on a donkey then?

[sdm86]

sorry JHS(just hell stupid)
i will drive to SA and tarmac rally your sweet ass.

[connection]

so you put a 4age in, but left the steering box?! whats your reason, lol?

[RobertoX]

NOOBS:

JAVAL - AE86 brakes 234 MM x 12 ADM solid

and 234 x 18mm VENTED JDM

t18 te72 231mm x 12 solid

ae86 strut FTW use them

also - JHS aka Just helpingout Sliders is right about converting to rack, steering box has about as much feel as a hookers...well...box

also if you want coilovers pm me

[sdm86]

its cheaper to just get custom secondaries made up
less headaches,
i have no problem with the steering JHS, i enjoy feeling the roaad, unlike you i guess?
i don't know.

people do conversion differently, your obviously out to get me, i don't see the point, i come to you for advice, and i didnt take it,

doesnt mean you have to get all up on me.

i wasnt calling you a noob

but now i think about it, less headaches? changing to an A motor is sick because you get to change to rack, which is fucking sick, accidentally genius, transforms the car into something worth cutting the roof off and putting patrol wheels on (if you don't get it it wasnt directed at you)

have some koni yellow shocks and 6.5kg front springs and ae86 struts WITHOUT brakes lined up

so just looking for some jdm loving on the breaks and some rear springs :)



after the suspension and rims go i shall be locking the diff and buying a proper seat.

:)

hole in the exhaust is great :P

EDIT: makes things a whole lot easier when you have a full time job :2thumbs:

[federal]

oh wow....so i was heaps wrong to tell you to convert to rack and pinion ay...so then why are you doing it now???

anyway pics don't work....should be good once you sort out the problems....

for alittle more inspiration feel free to browse a real build :P

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/board/in...showtopic=31071 (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/board/index.php?showtopic=31071)

[freddie]

your car looks tuff but a ke70 is beta:P

[sdm86]

well chris I'm not sure on the conversion yet, i just put the dished wheel on and steering is like a million times lighter, ill see how it goes when its on the track, for street driving its fine.

hoping to get some p/s arms
pretty soon
but god damn i need suspension..

only thing holding me back is this: http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/board/in...showtopic=31145 (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/board/index.php?showtopic=31145)

edit: spelling

[Todd]

pick up those wheels and put them on already.

I'm keen to see them?

[sdm86]

should have gone and saw danny, you were just around the corner from him at that dude who rips you off.

[Todd]

haha yeah i wont be gonig back ther again. oh well
although he does have good prices on new tyres.

id show you pics of that donor gtek70 but I'm at uni henceforth don't have the pictures.

[sdm86]

go see danny, seriously, picked up my starsharks with 100% tread for $650

its going to cost you that much to get some good rubber anyway
plus you got more pairs/set of rims
:)

hes got heaps of watanebes and meshies pairs and sets for under $500
:)

some 14x7 -3 watanebes for i think $485 with 85% rubber.


i realised your at uni

i got the whole morning off work
:) win
haahah
come for some skids tonight ?
its wet?>

you don't need suspension when its wet :P


*edit: SEND ME PICTURES PLZZ V INTERESTED

[Matt-AE86]

Where's this wetlap session going to be held, ill bring the ke70 :)

[Todd]

haha maybe interested in some wetlaps.

feel free to join matt :) you have my number i think.

its just a matter of fuel for me hahahaha

[Todd]

[sdm86]

malaga special stage ? :P

[Todd]

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/board/in...1598&st=180 (http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/board/index.php?showtopic=1598&st=180)

the green one is the one we will probably be taking to pieces.

if anyone is interested in parts off of it, let me know as I'm still deciding what to do.

cheers

[Todd]

oh and i finish at 830ish

[4door]

omg this is one of the coolest t-18s ever.

i really like the color of it.

did u do the steering rack now that u have a 4age ??

out of interest how much do t18 weigh compared to ae86s ??

lol i should buy one of these and put my smallport into it O__O !!

[sdm86]

nah at the time i was kinda broke and only just managed to get the 4age in there, I'm a pretty solid guy and don't really have a problem with the steering, plus with a dished wheel, the steering feels a lot lighter, just hard to feel the road last 10% of full lock, hopefully 86 p/s arms and struts with some suspension will help

panhard rod is a must aswell,

I'm not to sure on the weight difference, I'm guessing they would be a tad lighter or maybe the otherway around, but i doubt it would vary more than >150kgs either way.

yeah, the green is a factory option and I'm glad, its different, and looks brand spanking new.


just waiting on the funds.

[federal]

the weight does not vary according to Toyota

[sdm86]

question answered. thanks chris.

[sdm86]

te72's are by far cooler.
:)

plus mines now being held together with double sided tape and liquid nails.

unable to afford cable ties and just using my dads stuff lying around the house ;)

te72 on a budgeto.

[sdm86]

SO FRIDAY NIGHT

hahaah

[Todd]

oh and btw the t50 in this car is a jdm t50 :D

[sdm86]

anybody on here know if ae86 struts fit with ae86 steering arms with a steering box ?

not the rack and pinion???


don't flame me for not converting, just need suspension in right now, sick of boating all over the road.

[federal]

yes they will fit....used them in one of mine pre-conversion

[sdm86]

thanks chris.

[Todd]

[sdm86]

fitted up new intake manifold gaskets with the help of tom this afternoon. found out after quite a large effort and a few broken screws that the gasket wasnt the cause of the excessive idling but many factors were mention such as my cold start being pretty fucked, tape holding in vac leaks and of course having no tps.

so we fitted up some hose and bolt spec and took off the tape.
looking at getting a tps from someone, anyone and also maybe possible a cold start.
and brought the idle down from 2,800 at start up and 2.2 when running to 2.0 at start up and about 1.8 when running

also i realised my oil pump has shat itself and i have an excessive noise leak in the secondaries.


lots of stuff to fix.
oh and my thrust bearing has gotten extremely loud.

[Todd]

still seems quite high for idle dan.

maybe play with the idle screw to see if u can get a lower idle.
should be looking for somewhere near 1000.

la la la

i have an oil pump here i think? off that gte, ill get back to you when i check

[sdm86]

cheers man. i got a tps idling at 1,200 with it connected, need to line it up to the plate and adjust idle screw.

send me a pm with oil pump

[freddie]

I love it. It looks sex. keep up the good work :2thumbs:

[sdm86]

thanks mate. updates coming very soon

[TOY3TG]

hey mate nice t18 looks sweet. howd you go with the Ae86 struts? just bolt in? are u running rack and pinion?

cheers

ryan

[sdm86]

the struts went straight in with steering arms. all the modification needed was to use the strut tops.
mines a series 1 t18 not sure if this is the same with series 2 or whatever
not running rack.
but i have one lying around my house just need to find time to put it in.

[federal]

series 1 and 2 strut tops are different....series 2 runs the same as sprinter....

[sdm86]

series 2 are sexy

[federal]

indeed....only managed to have 3 so far....want to find another one for a daily

[sdm86]

you have a million t18s.
:hump: :closedeyes:


anyone know the part number for ke70/ae71/ae86 rack ?

[federal]

what do you need the "part number" for?

[sdm86]

buying it new.

[stahlz_ae86]

Through Toyota? May as well just buy a quaife if you're wanting to spend $$$.

[sdm86]

do they bolt straight up??????????????????????????????

[federal]

why the hell would you waste money on a brand new stock rack?

keep the rack you have, spend the $400ish on a quaife rack, get it laced into your currently rack housing....win

[sdm86]

rather not get a brand new stock rack
whats the advantages of a quaife?

[Beserker99]

Do some research ya r'tard :P

[federal]

+1 fucking 1....

i can't give you ALL the answers Dan.... :P

[sdm86]

effort is not my middle name.
hahahaa
god damn you guyss!! :@

[starni_boy]

Quaife racks have 2.5 turns from lock to lock (or 1.25 turns from straight to full lock).

[federal]

thank you clinton

[sdm86]

sick lockkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
fair enough

[federal]

NO....
quaife rack is NOT "sick lock"...

quaife rack speeds up steering response....

[sdm86]

how does it quicken up response time ? might as well let me in on this wicked shit


beer and i grow fond in time

[Beserker99]

I'll say it again.... do some research ya r'tard :P

The T18 kids aint gonna spoon feed ya AE86 info all ya life LOL

[sdm86]

yes they are phirom.
bahaha
no not really
so unmotivated at this point
waiting on shit to come from ajps.

[sdm86]

how do stock 4ages hold up against chinese manifold and small turbo ?

[federal]

they dont....

if you are planning on going turbo buy a kelway manifold....you wont regret it, im getting one....

[sdm86]

hahaha
best to go 4agze and convert?
or rebuild the n/a?
and lower compression?

[federal]

i will be running turbo on a stock 4AGE, should be mint for about 8-10psi

[Todd]

personally i would want a gze base if i was going turbo, or at least rebuilding the bottom end.

iv see two first hand 4a's that people slapped a t25 onto and they both lasted about two days before coming to an abrupt death.
that was running about 9psi

[sdm86]

sounds like fun ;D
hahahahaha.
yeah most likely going to rebuild bottom end.
maybe just go gze and convert?
who knows.
be about the same price, but gze means the car will be off the road for shorter amount of time

[Todd]

gze straight up

parts+labour of building another engine would set u back alot more. u would need ECU and have to get it tuned and bla di bla.
fuck that

just go gze if ur money concious and sell the charger bits to fun turbo shit.
can still run off stock gze management too.

[sdm86]

im problably going to end up taking it off the road
have a cheap daily lined up with a bit more creature comfort.

as i dont have a horn
no heating
no stereo
no aircon
no power steering
softer springs/shocks

i know i sound like a pussy but just drove massive distances this weekend and im fucked.
/
its really getting to me .

hahahaa
make a dedicated track car.
just tossing heaps of shit up at the moment

[Todd]

pussy.

[hilton]

:blush:

[Ksevn-T]

Fagina!

[sdm86]

dedicated track car????? haha

[h1_roll4]

[Matt-AE86]

I drove my AE86 to collie and back on the weekend. It's harsher than you car and I loved it.

[sdm86]

Why aren't you getting it repaired, it is/was a mint car!

[Nikkojoe]

Doesn't look that bad... Any kinks in the rear quaters? If not, use a jack and pull it out :)

If you do end up parting it, i want the bellhousing, slave and solid line setup :P

[sdm86]
