Real Men with Moustaches Drive KE70's!!

[sleeper_13]

This was the start of my old build thread when i first started the car which i was going to run an s13 setup but due to it being more head fucking than your younger sister i changed my mind to run complete toyota front end

heres a link to my old thread if you wanna have a suss

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/showthread.php/64870-Nissan-KE70-SR20-Build

it has come along way since then

[sleeper_13]

since then there is a nice big hole in the firewall which is in the process of being welded up (pics will be up soon) and is now being supported by a nice standard xmember with custom mounts with AJPS Coilys with 86 knuckles hubs and brakes.

Also came across some BC height and dampener adjustable rear shocks
22992

[sleeper_13]

i also sent my diff to BOSS Diffs up in lonsdale to get what one of my mate corey got done to his 31 diff

which basically was getting the sleeves of the ke70 diff cut off and the sleeves of the 31 diff get cut off and welding the ke70 sleeves onto the 31 center with a mini spool and shortening the axles a maximum of 12mm. (pics coming of the rear setup)

put all the standard arms back in except for an AJPS adjustable panhard rod.



Was also pondering around what wheels i want to run i found these at my work which was what i wanted to run on the rear
22994

but it was going to be abit hard to run 15x10 -25 with a diff still wider than the standard one

so i picked a set of these steelies up
22995
which were 15x8 -9 4x114.3 which sounded pretty good until i tried to fit them in the guards and this happened
22996

[sleeper_13]

so im in the middle of 're-sculpting' my rear guards
22997

[sleeper_13]

Heres just a pic of what the front looks like so far with the flared guards ( camber tops coming soon to bring the wheels in the guards)

[luke04]

What issues did you have with s13 stuff upfront man?

[sleeper_13]

Hey mate, just getting everything to line up perfectly and getting a uni joint for the steering rack as the ke and the s13 ones don't fit, was just easier using all ae86 gear so don't have to worry about different castor arm brackets and that other mambo jumbo

[luke04]

Just weld the steering shafts together lol! not sure what uni's are on mine but pretty sure its just chopped down the center and welded togther

in terms of the castor rod stuff, just ke gear and redrill the LCA to suit

[sleeper_13]

Yeah a little late now as all the 86 gear is already in, a couple of my mates have s13 front ends so it will be good to see if we can feel a difference in handling

[sleeper_13]

how its sitting at the moment

just sent it away to get
hydro plumbed and working
fuel setup plumbed
gbox xmember made
and getting my clutch master cylinder mounted inside the cabin

made some dummy mounts to fit my radiator and front mount

I think I've seen a s15 dash in a Ke70 before, the grey 101 Motorspot Ke70 - was on the news here in QLD for dropping mean skids....that got impounded
Looks awesome

S15 dash looks really good, i dig this!

[sleeper_13]

Cheers man! Thought i was going to be the only one with a s15 dash but theres another 70 out there with one!!

But of new school for the old school

[Jacobxxx]

It's okay though because im fairly sure he doesn't have a moustache

[sleeper_13]

Check mate

[Seventy]

Thought about how you will fill the clutch master cyclinder when the dash is in?

[sleeper_13]

Yeah there is a fare bit of room underneath and behind the dash, already tested if i could reach with a pump and works fine.

[sleeper_13]

bought some new knuckles
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/3/9/8/2/396176.jpg

[Skid_KE70]

I Think they are the techno toy tuning ones? iv seen them on ebay anyway. good build

[sleeper_13]

Yeah techno toy tuning, just go on their website

[Taylorwright28]

Cheers!

[Mika]

[sleeper_13]

Cheers!

Picked up tailshaft.......getting a nisstune next week, then vids of it going sideways for the first time!

[sleeper_13]

cleaned up the engine bay from all the dust in it
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/3/9/8/2/397926.jpg

put my camber tops in, anyone have the issue of running the t3 upper hats and the shock nut not being able to go back on because the thread isnt long enough on the shock?http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/3/9/8/2/397928.jpg

now i got to test drive it for the first time!!!!

running mega rich with a snapped turbo stud so massive exhaust/boost leak

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wkXOsYY2EM&feature=plcp

[blinded]

Great success!!

[sleeper_13]

Hi 5

[Seventy]

Is there gap between the shock thread and the bearing of the camber plates, you will probably have to find some of these nuts that suit you thread pattern and then probably get them machined to fit between the thread and bearing
http://www.bakemono-imports.com/rs25/m14nuts.jpg

[sleeper_13]

Yeah there is some spacers in there which you can take out, theyre almost like the nuts to fit mk1s

[dbr11k]

this thing is sweet, judging by the Cheshire cat look on ur head it was pretty good to drive it for the first time ? I wanna know where you got your money tree from, I'm going broke as it is and that's doing all the work my self lol

keep up the good work (y)

[sleeper_13]

Haha yeah dude was just good to finally drive the thing!
My money tree comes from working 70 hour weeks for a while from 2 jobs
spend almost every cent on it lately as I just want it done

[sleeper_13]

bolted the new LCA and tension rod setup in today, also put the t3 knuckles in so should do good for some lock!

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/3/9/8/2/398633.jpg

[sleeper_13]

Tuned made 190rwkw on 13psi
Just need to out my gp90 in and then wheel alignment and maybe some paint

[dbr11k]

Very decent number ! And suspension set up looks the goods too, will be good to see what sorta lock you get out of it as im running pretty similar gear.

[sleeper_13]

Yeah happy with the result for now

No doubt have videos soon

[sleeper_13]

Took it for its first spin around the block, soon as it hits full boost 1st through 4th gear just spins havent ventured into the 5th gear territory!

Once it gets traction it pulls mega hard

[dbr11k]

nice :sunnies:

que the VIDEO!!! comments lol

[sleeper_13]

Have a suss on my face book cant upload to youtube on my ipad

Not the best video will get a better one once there isnt 54 thousand spare parts flying around in the car

[sleeper_13]

Just a little video, yet to clutch kick it this is it just hitting full boost in 2nd

Looks tuff by the way !

[sleeper_13]

Could only get a total of 2.3 degrees and about 2mm toe out in total

will see how it feels this weekend when it sees its first track day

[lolwat]

thats a bit odd, tidy workshop

[sleeper_13]

Took it out to its first drift prac last night, first time sliding a car in 3 years and was my 3rd drift prac so it's a little loose, car felt so snappy and took abit to get used to but started to get the hang of how it would react

MATSURI WRAP UP


So yesterday was 10/10 Matsuri at mallala day started out well towed it out there in my new tow car for the first time and was all good, sunrise on the way out to mallala was pretty good aswell was a pity i couldnt get my good camera out whilst driving!


http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/3/9/8/2/505847.jpg


Ive also got this number that seems to follow me around which is 911 like every time i go to check my phone at night or in the morning.....bang 9:11! i got to the servo filled up the ke70 and some jerry cans and turned to look at the pump and BAM


http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/3/9/8/2/505848.jpg


unloaded the car off got ready for the scrutineers check, rolled on up everythings all sweet then he points to me only having 2 wheel nuts on both front wheels i explained to him i just put these wheels on to cart the car around the track whilst my other wheels are getting bead blasted on, he didnt care so had to go back through with new wheels on but the very start of a thread was the tiniest bit rooted and you could not get a nut on the end without cross threading so had to angle grind it down! went back through and all sweet!


got on the track first few laps were loose as shit! car felt totally different to last time i drove it it was down on power as i was reading the boost gauge it was only hitting 8-9 psi instead of 13psi which was annoying, couldnt use 3rd through the whole esses like i used to be able to then came the time for me to have my first date with a tyre stack, getting airborn isnt the most ideal date. My wheel caught on the guard earlier on aswell and pulled it in so it ruined that had to get the old plier flare out.


http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/3/9/8/2/505849.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/3/9/8/2/505850.jpg


after getting used to the car i was getting alot better at driving and can now get a good line between corner 1 and 2 for the first time which i was happy about! at one point the track temp was pretty hot i only got 4 laps out of a pair of new ATR's shit was crayer then cray! also i was sweating ore than a pedo in a playground! shit was hot out there yesterday!


http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/3/9/8/2/505851.jpg


inbetween breaks i had a play with my camera and got some shots.

Also finally found a complete louvre, only been looking for once since ive owned ke70s

got a new camera lens can get some nice shots with it

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/1/3/9/8/2/509131.jpg

heres also a before and after of my new knuckles can get some decent lock out of these with no sign of binding or moving the rack forward

[Jacobxxx]

It's not a nissan, don't need to worry ever about moving rack forward!

[sleeper_13]

It has been a while since an update but alot has changed visually and performance wise

First off my missus and I spent hours sanding and prepping the car for some paint, first time painting a car with an actual gun, last 3 times were with ironlaks. came out pretty decent, its far from a show car, no clear coat as the paintwork is far from finished and will never need a clear.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/515550.jpg

Here's a pic of my new motor freshly built, will probably push out to many ponies that the sr box will handle so will have to dull the tune down a bit.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/515551.jpg

Old motor came out and sold off to a mate of mine.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/515552.jpg

Pulled it out of the shed to get a look at how the colour looks in daylight, pretty happy with how it turned out the paint work is far from finished at this point.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/515553.jpg

Here's a pic of whats to come with the rest of the paint work with the ke70

looking so good mate, cant wait until your back out on the track.

Cheers man, next outing will be 30th of november, getting tuned next week so fingers crossed its all good.

[sleeper_13]

Car got tuned with the new motor in made 220rwkw running in on 15psi should loosen up abit and sit comfortably around the 230rwkw mark

Have done a couple of drift pracs in this since the last update.

Needs 4.11s and smaller cams, Hitting full boost around 4000rpm and should be around the 3500rpm mark need to get some 256's instead of these 264's. Still need to get used to the new setup as its so different to drive.
Heres a couple pics form the last prac
