RT142 IRS Avante'

[Jdm-Mcc]

Hey guys!

Long time no see. For the very first time I am proud to announce I own a Toyota!

Story goes.... I had an SR20DE Datsun Stanza when I was one my red p's, did some track days in it, drove it daily, heaps of street. best car ive owned, even if it was a heap of shit haha,

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/3/0/4/507699.jpg

So I sold that to buy/build something I could develop abit more as the stanza was pretty limited ( steering box and shit rear end design) so I bought this S3 trx bluebird a mate had for sale, CA18DET, S13 coilovers, cage, hydro, etc etc. worked on it for a year or so and drove it properly 3 times, it was fast and shit but it was a money pit and I am a uni student and I was getting over it.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/3/0/4/507700.jpg

So I sold it and picked up this beaaaauty off a good dude named Benzo.

86' Avante RT142, IRS with a tired 22re

I drive this daily and really enjoy it, its a really fun simple car, Might put a beams in it one day but for now im going to try and make the most out of the 22re! Entered at a vicdrift prac day on the 11th of May so come say hi!

:)

[marvis]

Super cool!

Throw a cam in it and drive!

[Jdm-Mcc]

Ive been meaning to ask you abit about 22re's Marv!

How's the computer take to ' throwing a cam in it' ?

I want to get rid of the EGR gear, I hear it does wonders for them but im not sure what to toss and what to keep?

[troublesome_7]

Fuck it all off mate!!! All of it haha!!! Just plug the vacuum lines that are left open. Also get a cold air intake/poddy, cut out a hole section in your engine bay and put it down behind the front bar. Big power :cool:

Btw the car looks tuff! I like the chrome wheel arches and pin stripe!

[Sup2a]

Yes! This car is thug.

[Konakid]

Sweet

[macca1590]

exhaust ,cam, few notches looser on the spring in the air flow meter, run premium and advance timing a bit, they love it

[Wagon86]

Looks the goods. I want to get a sedan one day with irs. Always had wagons

[Jdm-Mcc]

exhaust ,cam, few notches looser on the spring in the air flow meter, run premium and advance timing a bit, they love it

Interesting...


Cheers guys!

[Konakid]

I had advanced the timing full on mine and it didnt ping on 98. Ran it on 100 octane and rode the torque curve.

[Assailant]

Looks awesome at that ride height! Lovin it!

[Jdm-Mcc]

cheers man, Car has touched the ground on the flat over bumps before haha.


so I have an event at winton on saturday but this thing is feeling abit under powered and using a dickload of fuel. im thinking 02 sensor

[sam92]

Awwwww my gawwwd pud a v8 in it, will be fully sik bra. Den you can play footy with Zale.

[Jdm-Mcc]

haha fuck off back to footy practice mate.

[sam92]

Nar man I can't kick :(

[Jdm-Mcc]

You cant kick a goal but you can take one.


p.s this is a thread about a toyota corona, not your sexuality. back to footy buddy

[sam92]

I got kicked off the team for having soup on a rope in the showers apparently that's isn't fair game.

Yeah enough of that haha. Hopefully the O2 sensor sorts your car out before the weekend

[benzo]

I miss this car so much.

[Jdm-Mcc]

Its slides a fair wack better now benny. doesnt turn in as hard with the bigger rear swaybar tho.

[Jacobxxx]

Tip it in ####

[benzo]

Its slides a fair wack better now benny. doesnt turn in as hard with the bigger rear swaybar tho.

it was always too soft for drifitng really but fuck this was good through the hills.

I know it's in the right hands.

[marvis]

I brought the biggest cam from engnbldr? From eBay. Runs sweet on stock computer, I just bumped the AFM up a few notches.

[Jdm-Mcc]

Yeah sweet! I think im gunna grab a 'torker' cam , second hand extractmores, remove EGR, loosen up AFM, crank up timing. MAYBE a pod lol, all in all gunna cost like 300 clams.

Had a practice day at winton on saturday which was super fun, was driving with 3 corollas and a sigma. suck that silvia/skyline gang. Car drove awesome, spent the day adapting to the car but was getting confident with it in the end. bakes 3rd. just needs that bit more torque up top to make it bareable until engine swapsies.

Im lovin' it!

[Jdm-Mcc]

Thanks benny, time to get back on the toyota team eh!

[Jdm-Mcc]

Oh and I also need to upgrade radiator desperately, 120 degree water temp is not cool beans

[Pidgey]

Man, we need to touch Coronas some time.
And by Coronas I mean dicks.

[jay70]

manual and irs. you are living the corona dream

[Jacobxxx]

I wanna touch coronas

[Jdm-Mcc]

We will all touch coronas soon enough!

they see me rollin' they hatin'

[benzo]

yep Toyota game again, but probably no drifting for a bit.


Oh and I also need to upgrade radiator desperately, 120 degree water temp is not cool beans

shiet really?

I did a full day of drifting before Christmas in 44 degree heat with no dramas.

[Jdm-Mcc]

There was no dramas except down on power and gauge indicating those temps.

Put a strut brace on this today, wee

[Jacobxxx]

Wagga makes cars do funny things

ae86 cusco strut brace with slight modification.

went for a sunday drive today, did some slow front wheel fast rear wheel manouvers, put some dings in the bash plate. hit a few skate parks. good day

[sam92]

Yeah Wagga best town there is! Nowhere I'd rather be :s

Today was pretty fun I specially loved that part where we left my mrs in another town :)

[AJPS]

standard cooling systems are fine when in good condition, check it out before putting some abortion wrecker radiator in it...

good to see it being thrashed

[Jdm-Mcc]

This engine is fairly tired, which I think may contribute to how hot it gets when sliding. Was going to put a alloy rad in, ill check thermostat and a few other things first tho.

If things go to my current plan, this should have a RWD converted gen 3 3sge in it in the near future, do cam's and quads later on. Beams prices can suck me off at the next station

[KurtHS]

We can be Gen3 3S bro's! Mine's going in soon!

[sam92]

In your ke Kurt ?

beams are actually a bargain for what you get

admittedly the price to actually put one in a car adds up but they are well worth it

in a corona though I would consider something else if you want to spin the wheels hard

[Jdm-Mcc]

I really like 4age ke70's and the concept of how they are driven, So i see this as a upscaled 4age ke with IRS and torque. I enjoy working hard to keep the car sliding, beams would be awesome but its out of my price range and this motor plus some cams and bike carbs or itb's would be rad IMO

[Kevspec]

Today was pretty fun I specially loved that part where we left my mrs in another town :)
Hahahahaha, fuck! Please tell me this story sometime man!

Go bike carbs Jake; then you can help me and carb my 6M :P

Nice work... what did you have to mod on the strut brace to make it fit??

[Jdm-Mcc]

Just cut and extended it 40mm? I think

[Water Boy]

Coolest car in Wagga. Way cooler than simon's bora.

[Jdm-Mcc]

Haha thanks man! you guys will have to stay next time and we will have beers and do some slow front wheel fast rear wheel action

[sam92]

Aww shittttttt woody you've given him a big head now!! Haha ;)

SIMON has a cool bora ? I heard he's never getting it back, how long has it been in Sydney now?

[Jdm-Mcc]

Cant wait until he takes Zales title when he jumps the old hampdon bridge

[sam92]

This forum needs a like button for that post a hahahahahahahaha

[blinded]

Putting Wagga on the map, one modified car at a time

[Water Boy]

Keen to come up again.

Or hit the snow. If there is any...

[Jdm-Mcc]

Not much has been going on with this rig, I bought a gen3 3sge that had been converted to rwd. Was looking at pictures of my old SR20DE stanza. Boom next week I owned an SR20DE S13, Couldnt shake the memories of the sound and power of the stock SRDE.

Soooo I sold the 3s to a good mate of mine, and now I have the SR to go in, Bought some extractors and a HD clutch, otherwise stock. Maybe an alloy radiator! Hoping to have it converted by QLD matsuri, LOL

Also a lovely gentlemen opted to swap me my 7.5 -6 for hise 8 +0 mk2's so now I have 8's all round! which just add a touch more stretch for when I make the rear camber adjustable to get some more tyre life, also going to re-bush the ass end while im at it!

Ill try and take some pictures of the conversion but if not ill just take a video of a conversion complete static! haha

[sam92]

You do engine conversions in 5 mins!! No time for photos, all the time for statics

[skizzamods]

3s would have been better

[Jdm-Mcc]

So ive been told Oscar.

No time for photos Pickles, hands are too dirty anyway haha

[Jdm-Mcc]

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/3/0/4/522760.jpg

Started it up for the first time tonight, running sweet! just gotta pick up my new clutch slave cylinder tomorrow, weld up my exhaust and wire in an oil pressure gauge and its all gravy!

[Konakid]

Well that was swift!

[Wagon86]

How the hell did u do this so fast.

[Jdm-Mcc]

I have no job and I like to get shit done so I can do skids haha.

Drove this for the first time today, Goes abit better then the 22re, with some more advance and some new plugs it should go abit better, mind you this motor has 260,000k on it. but long motors are cheap.

I need to modify the exhaust under the subframe as it touchs the ground on acceleration lol. also I manualised the power steering rack in this but the ratios are too short and makes it far too heavy so im going to have to put a manual rack in! but otherwise seems all good, sounds goooood

[Jacobxxx]

Ra60 rack should be sweet

[Jdm-Mcc]

Soooooo I swapped the manual rack out of our rally corona, fixed up a few things, put some new plugs in and the motor has started to open up abit and goes alot better.

I entered a practice day at winton on sunday which was fun! snapped the top radiator hose fitting off the radiator on the way there, shit s13 plastic tank rad. patched it up and drove all day and home again with it, apart from slight fuel surge which will be solved with a pump upgrade, it went sweet! scraped a hole in my exhaust under the subframe haha.

Might have some footage soon!

[Jdm-Mcc]

Made up a rear camber adjustment kit for this the other day based on some designs Big_M sent me the legend! got about -2 degrees now opposed to close to -6 and I can also now adjust the toe as before it was maxed out and still toeing in, so yet to get an alignment and see what happens. Also got an alloy radiator in this now.

Bring on QR Matsuri!

[jay70]

hnngg so good

[Assailant]

Awesome pics dude...

[jay70]

didn't even realise its sr lol im a retard. living the dream

[Konakid]

Noice!!!!

[Jdm-Mcc]

Cheers dudies! You gunna be at QR matsuri Jay? I plan on going full retard

[blinded]

I plan on going full retard

Just a regular day in the life of Jake.

[jay70]

Def not driving since I didn't get a spot. If I'm not at work I'll come park hard in the carpark and steal some passenger runs off you

[Jdm-Mcc]

Yeah dude come say hey, ill take you out for a squirt fo' sho. Just look for that dude with the gay hair in his mrs jeans, I think his name is Jacob? Yeah I wont be far....Off his door!

[Jacobxxx]

Hey

[Jdm-Mcc]

Hey cutie ;)

Potato cam whaddup. I was trying a few different techniques and line early in the day which you will see, driving a lot faster and consistent towards the end but didnt get any footage :(

[wagonlife]

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/13/gapejytu.jpg xo

[Jdm-Mcc]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeew thanks for the pic dude! get any of me driving by any chance?

[wagonlife]

Nope, I was too busy watching you driving to take a pic of you driving haha

[Konakid]

Good driving mang. -6 camber makes it bake haha

[Jdm-Mcc]

How was my driving lachy? Short track was fun as hell and taught me some shit!

Thanks Henry! its got about -2/-3 now, made the rear camber adjustable

[wagonlife]

Driving was great, seeing as we have the same chassis/suspension/IRS it's made me more keen for proper skids at QR instead of rainy night streeto. There were way too many nissans at Matsuri haha. But you can see from your first lap of short track to your later laps you really learnt heaps haha

[Jdm-Mcc]

Yewwwww thanks pal! Short track was fun as feck, I want to go from 4.11 to 4.5 diff to really manipulate the SRDE, but apart from that I was stoked with the car and the event, loved pushing it harder and harder!

[jay70]

how does the sump sit in this compared to the 22r?

[Jdm-Mcc]

A touch higher actually I think the SR is a slightly smaller engine

[wagonlife]

Main reason why I want to throw out the 22R and put an Sr in my Ra65, so I can actually lower my car without my sump caving in from pebbles on the road..

[Jdm-Mcc]

Bashplatem8. 3mm bit of sheet and never look back!

[Jdm-Mcc]

Unlike SR's, 22re's dont mind abit of a caved sump, mine had a fist sized dint in it when I got it and didnt bother it, same with our dirt corona.

[ill-minded]

In regards to 22R sumps sitting low, Mackay Rubber urethane engine mounts raise the engine enough so the sump sits higher than the crossmember if you're inclined, Lachlan. :)

[myke90]

My wags sump is fucked too :P 22re lyf!

[Jdm-Mcc]

Does yours do a good static Micheal?

[Konakid]

ahhhhh this is so good.

[Jdm-Mcc]

Cheers dudes!

Forgot to mention since QR matsuri ive put a 4.5 final ratio into this and im stokeddddddddddd with how its transformed the car.

Also had a little module put in my ecu to give it a "speed sensor input" as in a s13, the ecu takes the speed signal from the dash, not directly from the speedo drive signal, when not used ( like in a conversion just like mine) the ecu doesnt get a speed input signal and does a hard fuel cut under load which is rather inconvienient when your in a drift sammich door to door with other cars and your car looses power and straightens up near causing mass carnage.

280'000km's on this motor and 140psi comp, still kicking baby!

[spiderman]

inb4 it goes bang, although you seem to have unusually good luck with SR20s, so it might not

I enjoy this vehicle, looks rad as fuck sideways. Or any ways, for that matter.
