[wide s13]

looks like a good buy

[greeneyes]

haha! Well done, into it already!

That money offset some of the "auto to manual conversion" costs on our car, so I'm happy!

[sundee]

the auto box is already at the tip along with the pedal box and some other random bits n pieces ;)

just about ready to order some stuff from ajps...
Front and rear swaybars.. selbys F - 24mm adj and R - 20mm Adj
and AJPS panhard rod

going to get my engine crain out of storage so i can take out the 3kc and get to work

[sundee]

update. will post pics tonight. got all the interior out, except dash top and center console, cut out some decent rust i found in the front of the pax side chasis rail. and engine is all ready to come out tomorrow.

next step i think is to get the pedal box sorted then bolt the front end in followed closly by the 4a..

need to get some dry ice tomorrow to assist removing the sound deadening ;)

[sundee]

rails are for an Ae86 only hole that doesnt quite line up is the rear outer.. only out by 5mm or so.. easy fix!
Did something that ive been thinking of for ages.. its kinda instant wide body KE in 5 minutes! guards will be flared after this aswell! check it

It looks like you've started with a good base for a project, but i have a few comments - some constructive, some not:

- Good on you for actually finding and cutting the rust out of the rail, not many would do that unless doing a restoration on a rotissery.

- Although I think the widebody with the slotted front guard mount holes is a nice idea, i suppose you are aware that the gap between the front guard and bonnet is going to be huge?

It'd be a better idea (in my opinion) to space the bottom of the guard out if you're having clearance issues, which it looks like you're not.

Nice idea anyway.

- Finally, that steering wheel is super homo.

Good luck with your build, i look forward to seeing it progress.

[sundee]

haha that steering wheel is going in the trash as soon as i get around to putting the nardi on! mayb u could have it? hahah jokes... the rust.. well i hate rust and it was to bad for me to leave it.. didnt take long to fix, its gone now so thats the main thing, nah not having clearance issues.. and yeah im aware of the massive bonnet gap which u can see in the photos and also i expect their to be a decent gap between the front indicator and the guard 2.. which i dont actually care about because i think its something different and i really like it.. stay tuned.. going to get my engine crain from storage today ;) cheers Javal

jacking on grass = fail

car looks ok but

jacking on grass = fail

car looks ok but

to change a tyre? hmm i didnt exactly plan on having a limb under the car to teach my self a lesson.

anyway... UPPPDAAAAAATE.

got my engine crain out of storage today.. 1st time used.. picked it up hell cheap and got a free 500kg engine stand to go with ;)

engine is out, exhaust out, all main break and fuel lines out, fuel tank out
will be onto the heater box and pedal box tomorrow.

Swastika fan!

Neo-nazi 4k.

i was hoping the chain would snap so i could fall over laughing while the 4K hit the floor!
yeah 100kw is a bit optomistic but we can always dream hehe thanks guys

[marvis]

Looking good. Not a fan of the wide body though.

I hope you have more plans then that for the suspension also.

marvis.

im not really going for a clean look at all.. kinda want it to be tough

i didnt really list much in the beginning..

suspension.. front

coilovers, TRD 8kg springs, shocks.. not decided, cusco camber plates
Ae86 LCA's for now.. mayb rona or sigma later
40mm RCA's, Selby 24mm adj sway bar.
need to sort out castor rods.
urethane bushes
ae86 JDM rotors n calipers
Custom rack + AJPS lock spacer = scub out on inner guard with 14 x 7.5 and 185/60 and ae86 LCA's
PS arms added later.


Rear.

TRD 6 kg springs TRD Blue adj shocks. Selbys 20mm adj sway bar.
AJPS adj panhard. stock trailing arms for now
T18 ae86 Disc break rear TRD 1.5 way LSD (wish it was 2way, just going to shim it up)
Urethane bushes

i think thats about it.. for now

[marvis]

ae86 LCA's are the same as KE70 LCA's. Best off going coronas.

Sounds good.

marvis.

[sundee]

ive been stuck into it for the last 2 days and now its break time for halvies so it thought id post up the progress.. pics ill post later.

ive installed and Ae86 pedal box into the 70 which had some mods and some support welded into it. y buy a 71 or T18 for 200-250 when the 86 one works fine and the pedals sit perfect!!..pics will show what i did, and also have used the ae86 steering colum support, which is a brace that runs the whole length between the pillars, that had to be shortened and welded in, will give some extra regidity as well. along with that also the Ae86 steering column, the Ke70 indicator + wiper switch has the same mount as the Ae86 indicator so off came one and on with the other, so it has an 86 adjustable column with the 70 indicator/wiper mech. also had to change the mount that goes thru the firewall to the ae86 item.. holes needed to be drilled out to allow for some give.
The engines are out of both cars and the 4age is sitting pretty next to the car ready to go in, All the sound deadener has been removed.. Thank the lord for Dry Ice!!!
JDM fuel tank and moddified filler neck also in.
pics up tonight

[sundee]

JDM fuel tank + filler install:
I used the filler grommet from tha 86.. moddified, and all i had to do was cut a section from the solid 86 filler pipe and add in the flexable rubber section from the Ke70 tank.. perfect!

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/5/14002.jpg
I was going to make a bracket but i thought this isnt going to come out and it was withing welding distance, just needed to do some hammering to get it sitting right.
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/5/14003.jpg
With the steering column installed it sat 20mm off to the left.. NOT HAPPY!
THant was soon to be fixed!
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/5/14004.jpg
i had to cut a 20mm section out of the brace bar on the RHS of the mount and then cut and add 20mm on the LHS of the brace bar
You can see the sections cut out above.
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/5/14005.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/5/14006.jpg
yeah i know i stuffed up.. i wasnt happy with the hight of the column(to low) but i had already welded on that bracket..so i had to cut off the end of the brace and flip it over so i could raise the whole brace bar to a good height.ahh well it will still work fine.
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/5/14007.jpg
Break master and clutch master installed.

i hope u were kinda joking about your wide body thing caause if not ur gunna have a massive gap at the boonet , parker and bever pannel?

[sundee]

i hope u were kinda joking about your wide body thing caause if not ur gunna have a massive gap at the boonet , parker and bever pannel?

yeah i was joking? ? so some ppl dont like it.. its not like everyone with an opinion owns this car.i dont get it. im well aware of all the above but this car isnt being built to be pretty. i like it so it stays...
its like u do all this stuff,and all alot of guys do on here is point out the obvious like it hasnt been thought of.. beets me, it really does

[corknose]

OHK, nah i like the concept of it so is your ae86 gear goin in this?

[sundee]

OHK, nah i like the concept of it so is your ae86 gear goin in this?

yeah sorry man its just its been mentioned to me 2 or 3 times already on this thread, and ive actually taken a few photos of the effect to show ppl but its still mentioned... i really like the idea because ive never seen it before as rediculous as its prolly going to look, this car is going to be a PIG and i want it to look tough, did u decide on a colour for your "dirty keto" yet?

[corknose]

yeh i think i found a ford factory maroon i like and will be easy to match and stuff,
for the wide body thing ever though of welding extentions on it so ican hang out futher?

[greeneyes]

Go for the wide body!!

Gap the guards & weld an inch on the bonnet edge!

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/3/5/6/14028.jpg

[sundee]

nah i hadnt thought of that yet, im going to put it all together and see what it all looks like. i did it originally to make it look a bit rough and mean but i could extend them more but it will depend on what wheel i end up running.. their was some 15 x 10 -52 on yahoo japan what do ya thing? hahaha

[corknose]

hahaha -52 sounds hot/!!

[sundee]

yeah it was huge!! last night i had a spare hour or so , so out came all the front suspension/member etc from the 70 and from the 86. the 86 x member/LCA's/rack are in the 70. using the stock 70 swaybar and Castor rods for now, installing urethane bushes for the swaybar/LCA's/cator rods this arvo

[pen15]

looks alright m8 well looks like the sprinter peddlebox worked out well for you any updates on pics yet i would like to see where she is at my build will be taking a little longer as im now waiting on more parts and wiring will take a little longer as golberg is going overseas but gives me more time so everything is perfect

[sundee]

nah no more real pics yet other than whats up at the moment, just progress stuff .

[pen15]

pics whats gone on atm what have u done?

[sundee]

im waiting to get my urethane LCA bushs, i recieved them and one was defective.. shocking totally different to the other..
all brake lines and fuel lines are in...

today ive been mocking up my R32 gtst brake upgrade... going to to the 32 brakes and rotors all 4 corners w/ twin caliper SU on the rear..

i already have the caliper and rotors and non abs master from my old 1600.. so i thought y not.. unsprung weight doesnt go up by much each corner.. i can live with it anyway..

Saw your new engine man looks clean as! yur rig will be a mega sleeper turboed!
.
ill have some pics up of the brake moch up tonight or tomorrow..

[sundee]

so while things are on the back burner a little ive decided im going to use my R32 gtst 4pot front and 2 pot rears on the 70... i spent the day yesterday measuring up and thinking of options.. here are some pics..

also mounted up my ECU and Coil packs under the dash

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/5/15319.jpg

[sundee]

so the rotor above..DEFINATLY NOT going to work! got some measurements to work off now so over to the DBA catalogue we go...

[dion_jay]

hey mate looking good this will be mean when finished, wide body sounds wicked as

like what was said above , do it your way and not the way every man and dog wants it done

p.s can i have your haltech

[sundee]

hey mate looking good this will be mean when finished, wide body sounds wicked as

like what was said above , do it your way and not the way every man and dog wants it done

p.s can i have your haltech

hehe thanks man appreciate it!

so for front rotors.. its been decieded... front rotors from the 2006 + mini cooper S... i couldnt find a rotor that had all the right specs and had the width of 30mm that the front of the 32 has..

mini cooper S rotor specs are

280mm x 22mm - 44mm high and the magical 64mm center hole

idealy the rotor would have been all that but 30mm wide.. ahh well no rotor in the whole international and aus DBA catalouge got closer than the mini rotor.

the other that came close was the Honda Euro V6 front rotor
282mm x 28mm - 47mm high and 64mm center hole..

this rotor would be absolutly perfect if i could mill down the mouting face by 3mm.. but i need to talk to an engineer to see if it would make it unsafe.. i dont see y it would as the mount face are usually 7mm min.


Went through the whole floating disc idea but again it would work but to find a rotor that had a height of 73mm - 76mm depending of mounting face thickness and have a center hole 64mm or less... ha i was dreaming!

in this conversion up from the main issue in gettting the most ideal rotor is clearing the LCA.. well gettting as close as possible so to minimise my offset loss.. :( hopefully its not going to be that bad.. i need to measure up how much back spacing ill need.. want to run 15" wattans... but want dish!! :DD


PS... oh yeah sure u can have my haltech.. sure just head on over ill spark up the barby ;)

[sundee]

UPDATE tiiiiiiimmmme.

gotta take some pics still, this is whats been done:

Haltech mounted up w/ coils etc under dash
modified stock bigport dizzy for haltech trigger/home sensor
full custom dizzy cap ;) .. u'll see
Engine loom all wired up, just need to conect up fuel pump and power to ecu.. 3 wires
4ag/T50 are in the bay sitting nicely.. just need an AE71 gearbox x member
86 fuel tank in + 86 main lines under body ..
booster/master in and lines ran.

main thing to do now is bolt the front suspension back in..once i get my new LCA bushes.. and then put the T series rear end in and it will be drivable.
ill get some pics up tomorrow

still hoping to crack 100kw.. it was 89 rwkw with stock ecu and safc running hell rich.. so i think 100 is achievable.. can u believe it.. it was running a cat.. so ill scrap that to.

[sundee]

some pics so far.

Had to modify the steering uni because its got an 86 steering column, with the standard 86 uni their was
only 10mm or so of spline being held = not good.. so i cut up a 70 uni and welded it to the end like so.

Looking good!

[sundee]

thanks Zach!

[joeschmo_57]

man.
fairly inspirational.
what made you go for the haltech?
joe

[sundee]

Hey Thanks Schmo! hehe

i like haltechs, their a great ECU, have all the functions, inc datalogging, multi coil direct fire, Nos (not that il be using that) , VCT, anti lag/launch control, boost control.. it can pretty much control the world and haltech has great support here. they even do seminars on the gear so u can go and get a few lessons on how to use their stuff to its full potential.

ive never turned an engine before but im giving it a go with my 4a... its great because i can also calibrate using the original sensors... saves some decent money their.

hmm dinner calls.. home made hamburgers! .......

[sundee]

so not much has been done of late because im a bit poor,
was going to go 16v 4a and T series diff, but decided to go down another road,

20v turbo + F series :thumbup::thumbup::cool:
will be getting (in the next few weeks)
adj un equal length rose jointed trailing arms
front and rear selbys swaybars, F- 24mm & rear 20mm
rose jointed adj panhard rod.

...

[Zach]

Any recent pics? Love this car!

[shuvke70]

good progress

wish i had the motivation to do as much work as yourself :)

g/l with the 20v turbo conversion

w series box?

[sundee]

Any recent pics? Love this car!
thanks man!
ahh yeah i do actually.. ill get some up tonight.


good progress

wish i had the motivation to do as much work as yourself :)

g/l with the 20v turbo conversion

w series box?

im soo keen to get back on the track, i think thats where its coming from.
yeah W58 box, single piece tail shaft, F series + TRD 2way.. might have some 14 x 9 - 19 wattanabes on the way.. or i might go up to 15's and get some challengers or superlites.. undecided yet.

[sundee]

decided to paint the engine bay white before the 20v goes in... should get it done this weekend... pics up when its done..

[sundee]

no paint yet. but here are some pics of rad/oil cooler..etc

Looks Yum!

[sundee]

got the engine in for a test fitup to get the rad and intercooler positioned up, then might pull it back out to paint the engine bay.. then again.. i might just leave it as is.. hmm

[Zach]

White engine bay?

[sundee]

White engine bay?
yeah prolly white, helps show the oil leaks 2 ;)

[corknose]

i like grey primer colour like the carina beams wagon?

not best one but yeh http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/8/6/6/20948.jpg

[sundee]

meh, i think im just going to leave it as is. making this shell look good was never in the plans. so i think im going to keep it that way. all i want is a nice NOTCH back in RED ...sulks....
i am a fan of this rig.

That 86 is mint..

[Joshie_Mcslide]

Car looks like it's coming along nicely!

Love the Wide body idea.....I had the same thoughts with my purple rig,done it slightly but not as extreme.....I only slotted the holes in the bottom of the guard and pulled it out from there.

Keep up the good work bud!
look forward to seeing it finished

[sundee]

ATM, im kinda struggling with intercooler placement, i dont want it hanging out the front but it needs to have some good airflow to be effective... kinda frustrating me right now.

Another person to roll with yeiw

[sundee]

yeah was living in cronulla for just over 12 months, always saw Keto's around and the odd 86 , but never had my car registered when i lived their, it lived in my garage, though it did come out on the odd occasion for a thrash around the block.. it made it all the way up the wall to greenhills and back with no plates.. dam im bad hehe

[corknose]

haha where you plan on moving to?

[sundee]

not sure yet, mayb back to cronulla or gymea...

[Zach]

Nah come to adelaide. lol loving your car man

[joeschmo_57]

Nah come to adelaide. lol loving your car man

what he said

[sundee]

haha i went to adelaide .. twice actually, once for work and it was like cyclone tracy, and the 2nd time reminded me of being in dubbo, but i hear u guys have some nice hills around, that would be appealing, ohh nah u guys get defected for bride's .. forget that!

[Zach]

yes we have lots of hills... just buy cool seat covers... i had one couldn't tell i was running a bucket... was rad

[pen15]

hey mate where did you get those steering knuckles from i want some how much did you pay and is there more lock then ps arms?

and hell yeah to moving around here gymea=win because its near me and cronulla =lose
because to close to direct salt water=rust especially in a ke70

[corknose]

haha carignbah so ur near me

[sundee]

ohhh caringbah = fail! my most disliked suburb in the shire.. hmm second to miranda!
close enough near enough.

as for the steering knuckles matt, their techno toy
these ones are their older design, but cheaper then buying 2nd hand PS arms
http://www.technotoytuning.com/productdetail.php?p=789
or if u wanted to do what im going to do u can get them in a package with tie rods
http://www.technotoytuning.com/productdetail.php?p=739
these picture the OEM type knuckles

their newer design is a re model of the arm in the 1st link, they now have two holes drilled for mouting the outer tie rod.. this is a quote from Gia from T3

"They are now adjustable for steering ratio and angle and we have them plated instead of powdercoated for a nicer finish. "
u can see pics on the page before.
If your keen matt let me know and i can place them in my order, just give me the cash and for anything else u might want and u will save on shipping.

[sundee]

so finally an update:
im just going to throw up a bunch of pics.
what im doing right now:
brake conversion - R32 gtst front and rears. 280 x 29 mm rotors up front and 296 x 18mm rotors up the rear with 2 x R32 calipers / side - struts need some mods and ive finally found the perfect set of rotors to use that no one person has used before!! not loosing much needed wheel offsets!!! rotor mounted in stock position.
and also purchased a HSD sleeve kit, 8kg springs and helper etc.

pics: enjoy

How much was the kit?

[biggo]

Davey - you can get them for $299 from otomoto

sundee - car looks like it has big plans for this small world, some people wonder why but i like it.

What biggo said. $299 from otomoto


Davey - you can get them for $299 from otomoto

sundee - car looks like it has big plans for this small world, some people wonder why but i like it.

Continue

Thanks man and other guys who posted, yeah big plans i guess, instead of focusing on how the car actually looks.. paint body work etc, im focusing on suspension/brakes etc.

ive had the 32 brakes around for years and not many guys have done the conversion out here, i dont know of anyone who will have dont it this way yet..
next thing is to mod the caliper bracket, so its time to set the struts up on the mill...

[sundee]

so while im still waiting for suspension parts, ive decided to keep going at this brake conversion.

i had the ultimate setup all planed, with a few days of searching the DBA cataloge over and over,and countless times of measuring and re measuring, wanting to mount the rotor in the stock inboard position, i came across the perfect rotor! was from a lotus elise S1 with dimentions of 280 x 29 x 29 pretty much no hat at all.. only listed in 5000 series i called up and got quoted $450/ roter!! it would still work and ive got it all drawn up but it majorly blows the budget!

anyway the cressida boys use R33 calipers with BA falcon rotors, but i had R32 calipers that take a 280mm rotor, so more searching and BINGO!! found a 287mm rotor 28 thick and 65mm height.

scored these from RDA for $180 the pair and their slotted aswell!!

brought em home double checked some things and then took them to re drill the PCD, $50 for the pair! much bettter then the $70/rotor prices i was getting earlier in the day..

and here is pics so far.

Also painted up my exhausts system

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/5/24682.jpg
as you can see below the 287mm rotor is just a bit tall for the R32 caliper
(factory 280mm) so ill need to mill it down about 2 mm
Rotor needs to be aligned, i need to mill 2mm off the mounting bracket. the 141 has a meaty brackets measuring in at just uner 12mm
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/5/24683.jpg
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/5/24684.jpg
The hub on the ST141 strut fits perfectly over the rotor! about 1mm in it

[corknose]

looks good , do u think u would be able to cut an old shock out of the coilovers in weld new one in?

[sundee]

you talking about your one's cal? cant u get the big lock nut off ? i had to put the strut in a vice then i have the biggest shifter u have ever seen, its about 800mm long, i found if i tightened it first then tried to undo it, it worked, u need some big force to get them off.

try getting some heat into it aswell, it will cause the strut tube to expand a little and help it release from the nut.

as for cutting and shutting etc, yeah im doing it to mine, im getting an alignment sleeve made up so it can be all welded back together properly

[Zach]

looking good. Zorst Looks Sick!

[sundee]

next is to take 2mm off the caliper bracket and then its done.
just need some shocks then i can mount up the sleeves/springs etc etc... bla bla.. cant wait.
fingers crossed they fit under 15's
decided going superlite GTR 15 x 8 - 4 up front and 15 x 10 - 12 up back.
Rear brakes will be around 280 - 290 mm rotor with 2 x R32 gtst calipers each side, one for foot and one hydro.

go big or go home ;)

[R&D Mechanical]

this thing will locck up every where hahah

[sundee]

missed the postie today, more parts from states have arrived!! so will pick them up in the morning, also just purchased AGX adj front inserts and 12mm lowered cusco engine mounts, thanks to AJPS
Wheels and tyres have been decided as well! ;)
should be ordering them in 2 weeks or so

[jay70]

this thing will locck up every where hahah
lol seriously. standard ke brakes can lock up g3's if you push hard enough

[sundee]

Standard ke brakes fail hard, I guess if u can't drive u could easily lock up big brakes meh!

[pen15]

so i wanna see the motor in this build thread

yes i know whos old engine it is pics now biatch

[jay70]

Standard ke brakes fail hard, I guess if u can't drive u could easily lock up big brakes meh!
haha yeah it would be good having brakes you don't need to smash to slow down. are you drifting this or grip?

[sundee]

Gee talk about impatient matt, I really wish this was just a 20v that didn't have a name tagged to it. Ahh well what do u do? I'll get u some pics don't throw a tanty, car is gonna be used for drift, I know don't really need awsome brakes but it is a project and I like to do new things and different and I had them laying round... Perfect

[sundee]

little update, more parts to throw on, brake conversion is coming along, rotors sorted,
just need engine mounts before i can get the rad and intercooler setup.

hmm pics

hahahaha dont we all? that is epic low but.

[sundee]

yeah cal i think its the ground in the 2nd pic coz 1st one looks pretty neat

[Kid Karola]

Charcoal wheels look sick on beige! If you're getting the Superlite GTR's you can get them with the machined lip and center (like where the nuts are) which looks cool. There is a white AE71 in SA that has the 15x8's like that, will see if I can find pics...

[OMG866]

constant cream as i check out the parts goin into ur car.

cheap car + awsome parts = sleeping warrior

[sundee]

thats the aim! im stinging to get this thing running.. well atlreast rolling 1st

Just purchased a pair of short stroke AGX adj front inserts and some cusco 12mm lower engine mounts for the 4a.

should arrive late this week or early next week.

once i get the engine mounts i can set everthing else up around the engine.. and then the real progres starts.

im pingin just thinking about fitting 15 x 10 - 12 in all 4 corners with 205/50 rubber... its gonna be epic fatness

[sundee]

a little progress, and a look on whats to come.. + engine pics, just for you matt

[pen15]

nick you know whos motor it was i told you lol looks great Joel loving it

[OMG866]

just double checking.

[sundee]

i guess i could say id be a bit nieve to think that no one would know the history of this engine... yeah its beau's old black top

[sundee]

righto guys take it easy, get your nails out matt..haha

[GEMTA22]

Joel, this build looking unreal!!

Awesome parts list, coming together nicely.

[sundee]

Thanks fellas, just a few key parts im still waiting on so the ball can really get rolling

[greeneyes]

Ah.. so good to see that old beige bomber... I was worried I might have to scrap it for a wee while!

Nice work!

[sundee]

best 300 bux ive eva spent!! ;)

[Kid Karola]

Steering arms + RCA'

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/5/27770.jpg


umm is that steering arm on the right side? :right:

[sundee]

umm is that steering arm on the right side? :right:

as u can see their are no bolts so its not serious, just slapped them together for a quick pic....a case of grabbing the closest one

[Kid Karola]

just checking ;) the KPI angle would be way off not to mention the steering ackerman / \

[sundee]

lucky im not one for putting stuff together backward... the KPI angle of the ST141 strut however is only 0.2 of a degree greater then then 86..

[pen15]

keep up the good work Joel if you live round here soon ill defs be helping you out with this shit

[sundee]

Oh dont worry matt, we'll be back very soon... missed out on that place in gymea but still looking every day! i was down the shire the other day and within 15 mins i saw 3 dirty Keto's and 2 86's... i wanted to get out of the car and setup camp on the gutter..

[R&D Mechanical]

thats fucking sick dude! keep the good work up! looking good :)

[sundee]

cheers man, i get engine mounts and inserts this monday - will be able to finsh coilovers and setup the engine properly, busy times ahead

[bams_keto]

just read the whole thread,
fuck this thing is going to be a weapon once its done mate
good work!

[sundee]

Thanks Bam, engine is back out, fitting new cusco low engine mounts,
also cracked out the R32 non abs Brake master/Booster that i had laying around for a year or 2.... was going to put the master on the 86 booster but decided to just throw the whole setup in... neede some serious beeting of the strut tower and inner guard to get it in.. but it sits sweet now..and the bonus i used all the standard lines re bend to plumb it up.. ill get pics up soon.

meanwhile back in the old country i.ve decided to paint the engine bay white while its completly gutted..

coilovers/ brake conversion should be finished soon.. i wish i owned a metal cut off saw!!...

[OMG866]

dont spray the car :)

[corknose]

do the engine bay, and leave out side pig so its like showcar under bonnet.

[sundee]

already done... definatly not painting the outside... just painted the engine bay white... leaving the rest of the car as is..!

[bigm]

mate just read this from start to finnish

epic mate, thats all i have to say!

car is how i would build a 4a ke70 (not that i would :P:P)

willl keep an eye on this mate, very niace,

[sundee]

oh thats right your into cross breading... hehe
thanks man should have some more pics to post soon..i like pics.

[bigm]

ahha

you inbreds are jsut as bad :P

i also like pictures

how much did the front brakes set u back?

[sundee]

so far:

struts - $40
Rotors - $160 the pair i think - sloted
Calipers - already had, i think they go for around 200 - 250 a pair

if your looking at doing it let me know and ill give u a list of all the parts and mods needed because as far as i know no one has done this particular conversion before using R32 gear

[bigm]

alright cheers mate, wont be for a while tho.

its either this or r33 setup, but im thinking 290mm rotors is a bit over the top lol.

[sundee]

R33 are 296mm but yeah u can choose either.. my setup uses a ford rotor aswell,, but not BA

[sundee]

decided id go about painting my engine bay...white was chosen..looks good
also went about using a nissan BM44 master and booster (non abs) - came in all the S series nissans and R32 gtst, needed some bashing of the strut tower and guard, re bent all the stock lines and it worked out perfect... tryed to get a bit creative with the camera to...
got some cusco low engine mounts as well, you wouldnt want to go any lower with the stock sump as these mounts put the sump flush with the bottom of the x member.

[Zach]

You are my hero!

[corknose]

geez can anybody hear a lagg coming upp? why such a big turbo?

[sundee]

something little... coilovers ready to be cut n welded.
also ordered 15 x 10 - 12 GTR superlites in platinum w Re001's 205/50/15's
200mm 6kg springs and one of those AJPS hats for the hot summer days
http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/4/8/5/29251.jpg

[sundee]

geez can anybody hear a lagg coming upp? why such a big turbo?

ever heard the term "looks can be deceiving cal?"
well thats pretty much how it is with this

Turbo is a one off custom, its got a GT28 56 trim rear turbine wheel with a billet compressor wheel out of bates rally car, with a exducer size of 66mm on the compressor wheel with a GT30 comp cover that has been sleeved and machined, all that and you get this - GT 28/66 spl.

so no time looking at your watch while this spools up

[corknose]

yeh makes sence, should be good cant wait.

[sundee]

sorry cal hope that responce didnt sound rude man. wasnt. saw those progress pics of your car to.. looked the goods, have u decided on a colour yet?

[corknose]

Yeh but it probs won't get painted cause I'll just fuck the paint again anyways I might just slide it as is and when it gets owned get an 86 and do it good.

[OMG866]

looks great man. the booster and master and even clutch master sit in real tight. Im using a sr booster and master and the brakes are unreal. this thing should pull up real well.

[sundee]

yeah the master actually just hits the strut tower...ah well, their is a bit of clearence from the plenum though..and the new mounts are stiff as! i was going to lower the whole x member by another 15 - 20mm but still undecided.. get that COG down, but it might end up fowling the clutch master...

[sundee]

Coilovers and R32 Brake conversion is all complete... rotors modded and all bit up well.. just need to paint the strut leg for ultimate pimp action.

next is to mod the front lower chasis rail brace... whatever you call it..
going to cut it out.. weld in some roll cage spec 350mpa steel tube so i can get my rad and intercooler in the right spot... yeah yeah.. get your flame throwers out and throw the legal jargen at me... the grinder will be out tomorrow ;)


Also got the ghetto 200mm 6 kg springs from ajps... yip yip

[OMG866]

So this thing deff wont be rego'd ?

[sundee]

So this thing deff wont be rego'd ?

oh it will be rego'd !:DD

[R&D Mechanical]

looking damm good man! motor is looking sweet

[pen15]

looking the goods coming together nicely i cant wait to go for a spin in her you still gonna move around here?

[sundee]

looking the goods coming together nicely i cant wait to go for a spin in her you still gonna move around here?

moved in today matt.. its what u boys call the sticks... menai
just gotta get all my stuff sorted and then get the car down here

[corknose]

ahhh sticks, tis tis tis.

[sundee]

Recieved Wheels the on Friday -
15 x 10 - 12 , 205/50/15

[bigm]

Super sick!

didnt know u could get a 205/50 tho, i never looked tho lol.

Fitment pics or what?

[sundee]

fitment pics in a week or so... will have to do some guard work to get these puppies under

[Joshie_Mcslide]

Nice!! they actually excited me in the pant regon!
o-o-o,ahhhhhhhhh!!
Need some cleanex now!

[corknose]

weld fronts on rear/cut slitts pull and then tack up slits/ oxy on stock gaurds and beat the fuck out of them.

[sundee]

nah wont have to do any cutting cal... cutting guards to get flair is not needed, ill get them under dont u worry about that... i may have to weld fronts on rear though, but if i do that ill put the panels on front , flair them, then take them off cut off the flair then weld it on the back... cant wait

[OMG866]

wheels are HOT

[Beau]

hey brah! How much did the tyres set you back? You get down this way?

Im looking at 10s very soon but need to find tyres..

[sundee]

hey pimp, brought the rims and tyres from AJPS, best price i could find even with them shipped - pretty much the cheapest tyres i could find the re001's in sydney was from a mates mate that works a bridgestone in taren pt - he could do them for $170 fitted - i got prices from 185 - 215 fitted in syd... dave is pretty cheap hay.. they look FAT!

im gonna see how they go... i was looking at proxes 4's aswell.. ill give them a wrap after these wear out.
if i can find my quote list ill throw up all the prices i got from blokes in syd and for wat tyres.

[corknose]

185/60/14?

like 130 or so?

[sundee]

185 would be rubbish on a 10" rim

[corknose]

No for a nine? Hehe

[joeschmo_57]

so thats pretty pimpjuice.

[sundee]

i still think to much stretch to be affective... it would be like a 195 on a 10" rim.. would looks ghetto as.. but performance wise would suck nuts

[buddyparts]

ive just seen this build thread
good work love the engine combo

[sundee]

Thanks man, its all getting close to being done.. plans are all set ready to action,
ill get pumped once i fit the wheels because i know its gonna look freaken WIN all ova!
main thing i have to do is sort out the steering column and front lower rad support brace.. its coming out and some cage pipe welded in so i can get the rad and intercooler in the right spot... stay tuned!

[sundee]

bit of progress - test fitted a wheel.. need longer wheel studs - installing them tomorrow 73mm - could easily run R33 calipers and 296mm rotors under these wheels, but the R32 and 280mm rotors is big enough
The bottom of the caliper just touches the center mounting disc of the wheel - a 5mm slip on sorted it out.. later on ill look at fixing that to get rid of the spacer.

heaps stoked with the wheels they look fat!
got some pics of the front coilovers installed and all the front end in place.
enjoy...

I ran the CYB flares for an 86, would recommended it for the x7 tho, because if u want to go low enough you loose your rear doors (because the arch is a slightly different shape) and it looks wack.. cool from a distance tho :P

datsun 240z or 260z flares are the way to go if thats what u want? but im pretty sure u want all metal do get that hammer out :)

[joeschmo_57]

and now its ready for the streets.

[sundee]

yeah pidwell is running 10's on the rear under flaired metal guards... i only just saw that the other day on some youtube vid - i wish i could find it again!. got me even more pumped..
as for the fronts.. the guard wasnt in position properly.. im going to flare it as much as i can and then some more.. and if they still dont fit im going to pull the guard out where it attaches near the bottom of the door to get that little bit extra... ive also slotted the mounting points for the 1/4 panel so i'll get a few more mm their.

i dont want bolt on flairs at all... it can be done!! haha

if this rain stops ill have some more progress today... but it seems to always rain on my days off...grrr

[sundee]

oh it will be on the street... but for how long is the question...

[joeschmo_57]

time to make bets.....

a maximum of 2 weeks.
what are cops like in your region?


aaaaaand, whats this 'spirited drive' you have in your sig? is this suggesting erratic driving? cos that is..... dangerous.

[sundee]

really from the outside its just wheels...

haha, i should get a cut for my advertising just now :P

[marvis]

Why 205's?

What is going on the rear (sorry if you have already mentioned it, I sorta just jumped in!)

Flares? Metal?

[sundee]

Why 205's?

What is going on the rear (sorry if you have already mentioned it, I sorta just jumped in!)

Flares? Metal?

Same on the rear Marvis - 205's are a good size i think.. 195 to small on a 10" rim and 215/50 if u can get them, but wanted a bit of stretch to stiffen up those side walls...and guards stock guards hand flaired... might need to weld some fronts on the rear.. see how we go.

[Robo86]

195/50 is a tidy fit on the 10s. keen to see progress :)

[pen15]

yeah joel ill drop those dvd's off to you some time i wanna see this thing ill bring my shitter

[sundee]

Progress is at a stand still atm, untill i can move the car to my new place... need to press in the longer wheels studs so i can bolt the wheels on!... grr

i guess i just wanna start somewhere with the tyres and then chop n change after i give it a good drive.. see how it handles etc. wanted to get as much traction as i could without running super wide tyres.. so i thought it was a good choice.. well soon see.

boys im all paranoid about getting this thing registered now.. wont be able to fit stockes with my brakes..

[--Redwork--]

Just get it rego'd on a set of 8's.. And don't let your road worthy guy see any of the rose jointed stuff..

[sundee]

hahah.. but its just so good

[we tha ppl]

get a mobile mechanic to do it if you can!! at least they cant put it on a hoist hah looking good man

[Prime86]

Heya mate

Just looking at your build after your comments on mine. Very impressive and a quality build you have going there. My Green Sprinter coupe is turbocharged and puts out good power with all the gear also, heaps of fun to drive as yours will be! Seeing yours gives me inspiration for another build. I will follow yours through and im looking forward to seeing the finished product. Keep up the good work mate!

[sundee]

Cheers man, one day id love to build an insane NA hachi... one day

[Prime86]

Haha thats what I have in mind, an insane N/A Hachi. I push almost 300rwhp out of the green coupe at the moment which is pretty cool. I have an engine gearbox and diff to build a very serious N/A hachi sitting in the shed so just have to make the decision to pull the turbo setup and go for the N/A version. It would have to push around to 250rwhp though, that would be my goal.

[sundee]

had a good crack at the car the last 2 days - got the following done:

MkII corona F series w/TRD 2way - installed
T3 4 link - installed
T3 Panhard - Installed
ajps 200mm 6kg springs - installed
TRD blue adj - installed
flaired guards - both sides
fitted 15 x 10 -12 superlite GTR's
Cars on the ground and compnents tightened up

Fitment is pretty epic - car looks very tuff! will get pics up in a little while
gotta love adjustment.

getting rid of a twin caliper setup for the F series - R31+VR commo calipers and R31 rotors -all pads- got some bracket to weld on to - average though, all could use a clean up - going cheap - $150 + post

[OMG866]

[sundee]

ok got pics - didnt jack the car up for suspension pics - but her is what shes looking like.
ATM with the 15 x 10's and using the outer hole(stock PS) on the knuckle - at full lock the rim is about 15 - 20 mm from hitting the swaybar! that is with stock LCA's. going Adj later, should give a bit more clearance for more lock
..enough talk.. picssss!!

lol another chat/build thread

car looks tuff mate, ETA on finnish time?

[sundee]

ahh no real eta, i just plod away really... main things - fit rad and intercooler - sort out door lock and some cosmetic crap - fuel system (JDM tank already in) - just deciding weather to go to an 8mm main line or stay with the stock JDM. get a wheel alignment and set the battery up in the boot. thats about all.. then more..

[corknose]

hmm,

just figured out what rims im buying for my corolla now.

[4agte70]

Love this build cant wait to see how it looks finished with the 10s all round. keep up the good work, by far the tuffest ke once finished.

[Touge Boy]

Hey joel... do you know where the plenum is from? I want a plenum for my motor...

Looks great BTW, Any eta on skids?

[4agte70]

I believe its a Hypertune plenum but could be wrong, very neat

[sundee]

Yeah ben its Hypertune, no eta yet, got a bub due in the next few weeks so getting preped up for that atm.. but ive got 6 weeks off work after that so ill be stuck into it and it will be done then.

[sundee]

[sundee]

yeahhh....yeahh..... yerrr..... right... hmmm...as if....internet dating.... ohh dear

anyway - ive been doing some work on the front end, cut out the old lower rail support and made up my own..
got the radiator in.
next , im going to make some triangular brace plates to go where the bar meets the chasis rail
then fit the intercooler.
pics uuuupppp.

Welds didnt turn out that great, ended up figuring out the tip was stuffed!

Plate - 50mm x 3mm

just steal my battery box!!

[sundee]

apparently i got your tail lights to... battery box is all yours if u want it, i was just making life easy for myself... i collect bolts

[corknose]

[sundee]

hahah but seriously u can have the battery box, i just used it to carry stuff... it was funny i just reafed it and it came out... so dodge

[svenmate]

So tough! Love it!

[J0RD0]

ok ive rear this thread and there's alot of back and forward info on the front strut/brake info. I know your using r32 calipers but will the r33 calipers and rotors work on the st141 strut and i wouldnt mind keeping the 5 stud setup. Did you ever venture down that path?

[sundee]

Their shouldnt be any conflicting info - as what ive mentioned is already on my car..
to use R33 gear, you can buy an adapter - they use them on nissans to go up to 296mm rotors in the S series and R32's - so all you would need is a pair of adapters then bolt your stuff up.
as for 5 stud, their are no decent wheels IMO - and then you would have to convert the rear to 5 stud, to much mucking around with no advantage.
the only reason i would go to R33 gear or up to 296mm rotors is so i can loose my 5mm slip on spacer - without it my caliper just touches the spokes on my superlites. and their is a boot load of room in the superlite 15" - 296 should fit np.

[R&D Mechanical]

this makes me wet haha

[sundee]

mmm yum yum i get excited once in a while 2

[J0RD0]

im going hilux rear end so the rear will be 5 stud as well, where do i get these adaptors from? any links or phone numbers?

[jdmke70kid]

hey man sweet as bulid is it nearly done lol:) keep up the good work man
