Luke's SR KE70

[luke04]

Hey Guys, kinda new to AE86DC, come over from the nissan darkside but this build carries a bit with it haha

Semi copy of first post from ns.com-

Will start this off with a bit of back story...

Bought my silvia a few years back, first import first turbo etc. When i bought it i barely knew how to change a wheel, learnt alot with that car, quickly learned how to waste cash changing plans every two seconds, hopefully i avoid that this time around...





Took it off the road near the start of the year with intentions for it to see a few track days. 5 stud, wider wheels adjustable sus arms and a solid cradle went in along with other bits. Got it defected within ten minutes of driving after months off the road, let it sit in the driveway, cleared in a few months after.

During this time i picked up a daily for a measly 500 clams off a mate of a mate.

It was an ex nanna ke70 with 360,xxx kms on the clock, cleaned it up, got it running flawlessly.

Then proceeded to have the most fun in a winter i have ever had in a car. This only made more apathetic to the siliva, and i let it grow layer upon layer of dust while i spent my time attempting to kill a 4k (Oil starvation? no dice)

Soooo about a month back i made the decision to sell the sill and purchase something more suited to my needs...

Wanted something i really didnt give a f**k about panel damage and paint, the sil was clean, and i wanted something not-so. Looked around at a few more s-chassis cars, but couldnt decide on one whilst trying to sell my own was difficult

Spotted this KE on gumtree, had been setup with an SR previously, and it caught my eye instantly

Went down for a look and the owner was perfectly honest about everything, and for the price the setup was something that came well within my budget and suited my needs perfectly. A deposit went down on mine that next morning and it went straight onto the KE

The previous owner being a f**king champ dropped the car off at mine, specs list from FS add below

Ohlins coil overs front
R31 Skline diff with mini spool
front mount cooler
Helps 3/4 roll cage
Full exhaust
RB20 gear box
S13 silvia front brakes
Full s13 gear upfront, crossmember, rack, LCA's
Helps shortened castor rods
Bolt on Flares
Adjustable rear traction arms
New rear springs (5kg) and shockers for drifting
helps knuckles
15 by 8 Rota rb's (queue haters)
Big fuel pump with lifter pump and surge tank
Hydro HB















Also came with some other bits and pieces, for the price i was happy with it and it should serve my needs much better than the silvia

The Plans?

Bought an SR, just a stocko blacktop with bugger all k's
After that will look at pintara diff gears (4.11) as this still has standard 31 gears, unsure if auto or manual
Will be planning to hit up as many possible drift pracs and events as cash permits next year, so hopefully should be updating this thread with some horrible attempts at drifting, and giving a million and one reasons why i should stick to a streeter haha

But il give it a crack!

Cosmetic wise, my first impressions were that i wanted to go back to big flared metal guards, but the flares have grown on me

Excuse the shit pics, rolled it into the carport and rolling it out while i have 4 cars here is kinda difficult
---


Aiming to have this going right after xmas and depending if i have cash leftover it will come out at matsuri here



fitted seat, just chasing down parts for the exhaust, going 3 inch into twin 2.5 inch sidepipes
Love sidepipies, almost did them on my silvia when i was dailying it haha!

bought other little bits like pod filter boost tee, fender mirrors etc, lots of vaccum line, got all my loom sorted with an SR afm plug the last bit of the puzzle

Got a chrome rear bar but cant fkn find a front one in Adelaide

SR should go in monday/tuesday night, Cant wait

Chilling with the 4by4 daily (fixed thanks to mr makita now)





Sorry for shit pics, will have better ones when i can get it out of the driveway easily

[jakel]

Looks good!

[lundy02]

tough as

[luke04]

went to pick up the original IC piping from the previous owner, and the champ also threw in some gauges



Also decided on going back to normal guards, will try to track some some ok condition white fronts ( PM if you have any )

and some haggis fronts to weld onto rears

Will also mean i can pump some more castor into the front as it fouls on the bolt ons as is, and trimming them looks arse

[Matt]

Should be loads of fun... Nice pickup

[luke04]

Havent updated this in aaaages


SR is in, prick of a job, fuck all clearance





Going to chop up the firewall for more dump pipe clearance and a bigger trans tunnel, dump pipe is rubbing on firewall as is

Just waiting on some silicon joiners from ASD and a manual TPS plug and it should be running by the end of the week

But had a bit of a setback the other night... :'(



My gorgeous daily met her match getting rear ended hard by a driver who needs to pay more fkn attention and slow the fuck down

going to gank the front guards for the fronts of the SR one and will suss out some others to weld onto rears

will part out what i can so if you are interested in bits let me know, shell is fubaaaaaaaaar ofc
