Reply With QuoteI ran that same style set up into the top of a surge tank in my old 86, Was a really good setup too. That pump is a VN pump, Not a VL, I remember reading somewhere in that post it said a VL, Probs a typo or something though haha.
small yet important update!
whats new about this picture?
ok you might have guess
passenger side mirror!
but not an over priced ae71 mirror. a mirror off an old corona in fact. 84 ish corona, my mates wife crashed her car but they knew i had mentioned the posibility of the mirror fitting, and they pulled the mirror off for me before it got sold for scrap.
almost a perfect fit, had to redrill 2 holes as can be seen in the pics, and as you can see the glass pokes out a bit to have it at a comfortable place for me to see, but that could just be cuase im tall.

nah its VL, cuase i ordered it straight from repco and watching them clickin on the sreen
pluss i have the old one here, that i pulled straight out of a vl wagon.
though i think VN and VL are the same. though i thought that VN had a single high pressure pump in the tank....
oh well maybe we are both right.

updates on the car!
well i have been spending a large amount of cash on the following....
-ae86 struts with a sleeve welded on
-brand new king spring 6kg coilover springs
-brand new KYB excel G shock inserts (suit MR2 i think)
-brand new slotted ae86 vented rotors (234mm)
-reconditioned jap ae86 calipers (shiny shiny)
-brand new wheel bearings
-brand new rubber brake hoses
-new QFM brake pads (the $80 ones)
-40mm no name brand RCA's
this has taken me about 6months to peice together. big thanks to GSL rally sport, the bloke has some fantastic prices, and is great to deal with. highly recomend!!!! also big thanks to mr AJPS, i asked him quite a few questions, and he was very helpfull! oh and he sent me up some gland nuts real fast too!
here are some pretty pics:
now to finish this off i need:
-machine up spacer between top hat and shock (currently i have a few washes in there, but want to get a solid peice made up)
-machine up a spacer for the bottom of the shock in the tub, i think i need about 15-20mm, i have a nice chunk of alloy here waiting to be machined.
-need to get some tube things that go between the rack end and the tie rod end (see the WTB section of this forum...)
-buy new tie rod ends
-cut bolts to size that hold backing plates to the strut (you can see htey are miles to long in the pic....)
this setup has cost me a packet...but it will be legal...and i will lose the rediculous amount of track on the front end of this car, so i can get some nice wheels from munji mods!!!
oh and if anyone wants to buy me s13 front end....enquire within.
