It might have a 1JZGTE.

[Jacobxxx]

Did it take much modifying to fit the b&m ratchet shifter?

Thats a nice rd in japan you drove... :)

[Tetsuo]

Jeeeez Marv, you're a demolition expert mate ! Good job you know how to cut & shut, expensive hobby tho' :-)

[marvis]

I'm alright at body work and automatics now.

Took it on a dyno today, shitty 195s kept spinning. Urghhhhh

[Konakid]

Dude this is sick. Why no manual?

[marvis]

Thanks!

I don't mind the auto at the moment, it's pretty strange to drive.. I like to think it's making me a better driver.. Also I need more suspension, seat etc first.

I'll try and get another video soon when I go drive!

When's the next quarter guna be done? Haha, looks good though, I like the colour scheme

[marvis]

LOL, man! Never! I need to get another bumper and quarter strips to paint..

Also front bar and guards as I want to vent the guards.

I was going to do a red/blue/white like this, but white front and blue middle.. But flagged.

http://i.imgur.com/jXCOdTK.jpg

Got a HKS FCD to throw in, I hit book cut sometimes on the initial spike when it's cold. Also to lean the engine out a bit as the 1JZGTE likes to go near the 10:1 AFR.

[marvis]

.......................

[wagonlife]

You must get reeeeal strange looks driving around town in this.

Coolest car in QLD though. Lovely work.

[jay70]

was keen to do advan colours on the cressida but you got that covered :P might do dunlop

[marvis]

I'm a bridgestone guy! All white works though, maybe mkII lights and grill!

Thanks mr wagon life! (=´∀｀)人(´∀｀=)

[marvis]

[wagonlife]

I have a pair of Carrozzeria's but they're too dirty to be seen in the likes of this

[marvis]

Well this wasn't ideal..

http://i.imgur.com/oHndwUb.jpg

Pulled under the dash apart, installed the HKS FCD and It ran horribly, pulled it apart and found that.

I'll have to get another one, or a greddy version. 1JZGTE like to run rich, fcd will lean it out a bit more.

[drift kid]

Sharknose, k go

[marvis]

.......................

[drift kid]

Pretty much legal, lol, yeah so is my 86 hahaha, long vented guards will be cool though

[marvis]

Did some work on this too, still need to make rear tubs. It's my girlfriends.

http://i.imgur.com/zQaCSEU.jpg

[drift kid]

They 15's? Needs smaller wheels, cute though

[marvis]

15x7+25 with 165 55. -11 camber rear with 6cm drop spindle, -6 front in that photo.

15's are good for L700! Tires are shitty in Australia to go smaller wheels anyway.

[drift kid]

Yeah I know, never easy to get any good 14" tires, car would look killer on 14's though

[sam2306]

Get cracking on those tubs im sure meg is well tired of
dirt and shit all inside the car haha

[marvis]

15's win!

Some of you might know that I'm in a gang.

Here is the guys (Not including myself of Aaron with JZX81)

http://i.imgur.com/0jLXHBw.jpg?1



This is Mereki's Z10. I originally bought it with my car with an auto 1gge, it now has a 1JZGTE with a single.
I was planning on keeping it as a spare, but he recently binned his 4AGZE KE70 at the time so he picked it up straight away.

http://i.imgur.com/2HevPIF.jpg?1

Here is me and Mereki.

http://i.imgur.com/62kN426.jpg?1

[08ftwyo]

Always enjoy looking at this car, every time I see it there is something new I notice about it. Keep it up, Gangster

[Danny t]

Mereki is a gay.

[marvis]

I think he does prefer the company of other men.


Ordered HKS FCD, should be here tomorrow.

I have some RA65 struts here to make some coilovers with.. Not sure what Kit to go with yet, thinking otomoto and see how their springs feel. Going 10KG.

[whitegirlwasted]

10kg seem abit soft for double wishbone suspension Merv ...... id say 12 or 14 front and 12 or 10 rear would be suitable

[sam2306]

10kg seem abit soft for double wishbone suspension Merv ...... id say 12 or 14 front and 12 or 10 rear would be suitable

I didnt marv had converted to falcon front suspension, good upgrade.

[marvis]

Yeahaha. It's the same setup as AE86/MA61/A6x etc.

10kg will be good until I get better shocks. Then I'd only go 12 maybbbbeee. It's the same weight as an s13.

[whitegirlwasted]

i drove a gz20 for about 1 year . I thought the suspension would be the exact same lol whoops , seems im wong . I binned it trying to skid with the auto and 1ggte lol , did a good on brake skid and never killed the engine even though it was a piece of shit 1ggte . Ive got a 232/ 234 pro comp cam and billet pushrods for when you go LS1

[sam2306]

remember that time you tried to impress zac's dad by doing a brakey and started off in the wrong gear? fun times.

[AJPS]

Go 8s in a strut set up

I like the paint, gz10s and 1jz.... ★★★★★

[marvis]

Thanks Dave!


Yeahaha. And that box wasn't having a good time.

There are some decent marks out front of his now though.

[marvis]

.......................

[marvis]

Flagged that. I'll get a v1 SAFC sometime.

[marvis]

Figured out MZ10 brakes are 248mm x 22 and MA61/RA65 are 258mm x 20. Have some fresh RA65 rotors here, I'll have to find some callipers and get some good pads and slap 'em together on these coilovers.

Right now, my brakes are pretty sketchy.

[marvis]

http://i.imgur.com/tuBopM7.jpg

[wagonlife]

Would have given you my shit when I put Coilovers in, but they gone :(

[marvis]

Ah, that's cool! Just need calipers anyway.

[marvis]

From my manual.

[drift kid]

I love that there are yen coming from the exhaust lol

[marvis]

I need to fix my handbrake.. Locked one wheel yesterday and made me fucking straight line.

Ordered my bits for coilover conversion, scored some swift springs too. Yeahhhhh.

[marvis]

My purple led bulb rocked up after a month in the post! So much better now!


http://youtu.be/X4G6aNJSuyo

[marvis]

Picked this up tonight from a friend.

http://i.imgur.com/GbZqEUj.jpg?1

Air frow hahaha

[japlish]

Hey marvis, swap you some ma61 calipers for that rwd starter?

[marvis]

I have calipers here （＾∇＾）

[japlish]

Dammit! Lol. What about rotors?

[marvis]

I also have those.

I'll upgrade to slotted soon though, and good pads.

[japlish]

Ok i give up lol.

[drift kid]

Uni mig 200 ac/dc? Same tig as me! ^.^

[marvis]

I'm not sure, he uses a different one for mig though.

All done just need camber tops..

Have TRD fixed back now to go along with my TOM's harness, I just need to sort out rails and find a cheap half cage, ae86 should fit..

[drift kid]

Oh fair enough, why not get a cage fabricated ro suit?

[marvis]

Cost too much. I was going to get a zokusha/kyusha style cage, but I might just get a normal one as it's cheaper and better in the case of a roll over.


Seat rocked up and E-GO cracked it.. COOL.

http://i.imgur.com/rnaz5PG.jpg

Lucky it's not all the way through though and I was going to repaint it anyway.


Seems to be in good condition. Those look like the only rips.

[drift kid]

Pay the extra and get something decent and exactly what you want?

[marvis]

.......................

[Jimmee1990]

Going to be honest, that style of cage will do absolutely nothing. Was a stupid fad to switch the rear legs left to right in the 70's-80's, especially common with falcadores. If you want it for the safety aspect and not just wank factor I would say to run the legs down the pillars into the boot and tie them into the rails.

[marvis]

I know, and that is the plan if I do get that style made.

[marvis]

.......................

[drift kid]

Yeah, even have the structural legs tucked close to the C pillars and even painted black and some twin rear pillars for the looks m8

[marvis]

Not going to fake the funk!

[drift kid]

It's not faking though, they would still be rear legs in the rear, just have another two down the actual pillars for strength purposes

[marvis]

Yeah, not going to do that.

One or the other!

[drift kid]

Each to their own

[briigo82]

Ive got an AE86 cusco half cage im selling atm dude.

If your interested

[marvis]

I'd love to test fit it!? If it fits I'd probably buy it!

[briigo82]

Yeh mang thats fine. Shoot me a message 0421010766

[marvis]

Awesome.

WHERE THE HELL ARE MY SPRINGS. It's been in the post for 13 days.. Never using E-GO again.

[briigo82]

Ive used e-go many times any never had a problem

In saying that 13 days is a long time to wait for post with in Australia.

[marvis]

I've never had a problem either, until they cracked my seat.. And now this. It's quoted 9-10 days..


It's totally lost.

[hao.]

E-Go are as useful as tits on a bull when it comes to finding packages they've lost in transit :/

Car's looking good Marv! <3

[marvis]

Thanks babe!

Scored some tein cambertops for this. Yeahhhh! Still waiting on springs..

Aus post fucked up and lost 50 nicevibe stickers.. Awesome! I've had awesome luck lately.

[marvis]

Springs rocked up.. Just need to change the thread on the camber tops bolts to fit my inserts.. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND A 14x1.5 tap?!

[Jrad]

Sweet build man! Proof that legal doesn't necessarily equate to boring!

Have heard good and bad with e-go, but in my experience they've been decent. I guess that's what we get when their service is almost always half the price of the others.

Looking forward to some future updates with this :D

Checked over lights, wipers, engine etc. No problems! Had some decent chunks from the rear tires but no tickets.

Stoked.

[Jrad]

Well seems my last comment was correct then! Congrats, haha.

[drift kid]

No poddy brah?

[marvis]

Yeahhh!


Coilovers are done.

http://i.imgur.com/suZgMR2.jpg

RA65 strut cut 40mm, agx sw20 inserts, swift 11kg springs and tein cambertops. Also RA65 brakes and calipers. 10mm bigger then z10.

[drift kid]

11kg? A little overkill no? I would have gone 9kg max up front in something like this

[marvis]

11 will be good! It's similar weight to a silvia, with a 6er up front and a longer nose so it's suited. If for whatever reason it's too firm I have some 8KG swift springs here too. But It will be sweet.

I'll have to get some 8kg rears from yahoo sometime. For now I'll wind up the damper on these rear GAB shocks.

[drift kid]

Yeah but it's only a 6, 8kg are good for an sr silvia so I'd only go to a 9 for this thing, your car though mang

[marvis]

http://i.imgur.com/tySSVe1.jpg

[Jacobxxx]

Hahahahamervis

[drift kid]

-.-

[marvis]

Coilovers are in, feels good. No alignment until next week. Need a new LCA ball joint too, it's pretty average.

Went and streeted tonight with a few guys, was awesome. Car was breaking down in second sometimes/most times though, urgh. Hopefully just plugs.

[AJPS]

do you need joints marv?

[marvis]

Yeah, I was just going to get them from my local though, I have a trade account. Need them ASAP for align.

[AJPS]

ah yep, no worries

[marvis]

.......................

[drift kid]

I'm impressed how well it fits, will look good in yellow

[marvis]

Some pictures from the drive the other night.

[marvis]

These phillips diamond view bulbs are pretty average. Can't see shit.

Looking at going HID possibly as I want a 6000k colour and good light. Any suggestions or recommendations?

[drift kid]

Yeah been thinking of going hid too, I've heard mixed opinions

[marvis]

New ball joint in.

Alignment, feels good.

Front:
Camber: -4.2deg
Castor: 6.3deg
Toe: 3mm total out

Rear:
Camber: -2.2deg
Toe: 2mm total in

[drift kid]

Is the -4.2° intentional?

[marvis]

Yes. I have camber tops and do my alignments personally.

[drift kid]

Oh cool, do you notice any understeer from such big camber? I was experiencing some when I had my front around that mark, now at 3° it loves life

[marvis]

No, it's been fine. I run a 195 60 RE002. More camber is better for grip when wheels are turned.

i've got the same air purifier in the civic, funky green led's though.
nice thread marv

[marvis]

Everything is purple LED, have some in the footwell and I'll put some more inside when I strip it, I'll probably take the carpet out and have it all white. I'll have them strobe to music too.

Thanks!

[marvis]

I forgot I took a knuckle photo when I out coilovers in. Some of you may know how big they are stock, We took at least 30mm out of the length and it has less akerman.

I'm looking at making another pair the same length but with less akerman again shortly.

http://i.imgur.com/7G08NLW.jpg

[Jdm-Mcc]

Are the pictured knuckles stock? cant see any weld :S

[dove grey 64]

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/5/8/6/2/555901.jpg

[marvis]

Haha, they are the modified ones. Stock are almost twice as long.

Cool corona hey! He owns another one, it's much cleaner! And beige!

[marvis]

Stock look the same as the ones on the right.

http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/dcimages/5/2/9/523217.jpg

[marvis]

Sold a pair of my MK1 (I have three pairs), getting some wider ones from my good friend Sam from Adelaide, picking up at halfway hangs!

Yeahhhhh.

I'll start stripping sound deadening and preparing for cage etc this week too.

[drift kid]

Why the hell does everybody go to the one drift event that I cannot attend -.-

[marvis]

Few from our team won't be going and none of us are drifting.

Pretty keen to drive down though.

[marvis]

Stripped the interior, this is most of the junk I've taken out.

http://i.imgur.com/Yu9wX8O.jpg

Started on sound deadening, good fun. Once that is done I'll weld up all the holes and prep for paint.

[benzo]

Sold a pair of my MK1 (I have three pairs), getting some wider ones from my good friend Sam from Adelaide, picking up at halfway hangs!

If they fit in my boot

Will need to fit in with a pair of spare wheels for the Cresta, a sub and four backpacks haha

[marvis]

Make it happen Benny.

[Jrad]

All the people pulling sound deadening... I was looking at mine today and went "mmmm nope."
Enjoy!

[marvis]

It's lovely. Usually I'd use dry ice, but I'm using a hammer and a few different size chisels.

Having no carpet I want everything to look good and sound deadening looks horrible uncovered!

Found around 200yen! Yeahhhh

[jay70]

seriously youre stripping the sound deadening in summer with a hammer? im painting my interior tomorrow but I really cbf stripping that shit

[marvis]

Yeah! Weather has been good here this week, last week was in the 40's though.

Don't be lazzzyyyyy! It looks so much better. Lighter too.

[Joshie_Mcslide]

Been meaning to pop into this thread for a while now.....You've made some good progress Marvis!
Nice work!
Planning to go manual eventually? or did I miss the few pages where you said you've already done it? lol

Bit of a question for you tho....The ae86 cage you fitted a few pages back,did you ever fit up anything similar in your old 65 coupe?
If so,what was it from? and what needed to be done to fit it? if not,do you think the same cage you have would fit in mine at all??

I was thinking about it the other day,and thought you'd be the guy to ask!

thanks in advance!

[marvis]

Thanks! Manual soon, need a few little bits then I'll be happy for now with the rest of the car.

I used a full AE86 cage in my coupe, no mods.

[marvis]

Sound deadening is out, need to clean up the glue and some other spots ready for paint.

Started drilling holes for cage,need to modify the crossbar brace as it's slightly off, just move it up 10-20mm.

Getting keeeeennnnn!

[drift kid]

That cage better be yellow m8

[marvis]

Of course.

Moved the mount for the crossbar, holes all drilled. Cage has been completely stripped and it's been undercoated. Hopefully finish painting it tomorrow and I'll start on my seat mount or do some more work on the interior.

http://i.imgur.com/fapw8cT.jpg

[marvis]

Sound deadening is all out, filled up two plastic shopping bags.

Seat rails are done, started welding up random holes and put a few coats on the cage.

I was going to stitch weld but I might flag, I'll see.

I'll post some pictures tomorrow, hopefully floor is cleaned up and holes welded.

[drift kid]

Such a good feeling once it's all chiseled out hey? Should look good, what colour will the floor be? White?

[Jrad]

Nice!
What are your plans for the rear seat/boot hole space now? As is, or a light covering?

[marvis]

Painting it white as it's factory, easy and the purple led will make it glow.

I want to cover it, like this.

http://i.imgur.com/SgXHdsZ.jpg

I'll probably put the side trim back on though.

[marvis]

Also, what is the point of these? There is one each side under where the rear seats were.

http://i.imgur.com/50Cj2UM.jpg

Also, soooo many holes in the floor with rubber grommets. What were you thinking toyota?!

[ill-minded]

Bolts for the rear crossmember under those plates? Or is that the one just next to it where you have your earth lead clamped?

[marvis]

The ones beside it are for the subframe. There was seriously nothing under these.

They are welded up now along with 100 other stupid holes.

[Jrad]

Yeah, looks easy enough, simple solution. Needs some sort of side trim/covering.
Ugly with all that exposed. Have a look

And yeah, there's always a million somewhat pointless holes in bodies.
Engine bay as well - they could be 1000% nicer in most cars, most can be tucked/re-routed very simply.

Buuuut! Mostly they're for the manufacturing side, robotic tracking, and mould release.
Plus they add rigidity, instead of having flat sheets of metal, a hole with a ridge around it is stronger, as well as using less material.
(Manufacturing excites me! I study industrial design, haha!)
All leans to cut costs in both wages and material.

[marvis]

Interesting! Thanks!

I've filled all the holes I wanted done. Four of them perfectly fitted 10c coins and others 5c haha!

Welded up the old holes in the tower too.

My LED's rocked up. I think 5m should be enough? Waiting on my streetglow radio bar though, will use this to control them, as they can be on/off/music etc.

I'll hold off on the pictures of the interior for now! Might leave pictures untill it's done.

So much work cleaning up all the glue.

[marvis]

Called up my mod plate dude..

Informed me cage needs to be 45mm OD.. Mine is 40mm cusco.

Anyone know anyone who can do it? And if I get done I'll just say I didn't know and swapped it out for a better one?

[drift kid]

I still don't get why people buy the cusco's

[ill-minded]

Does the whole cage need to be 45mm or just the main hoop?

[marvis]

What do you recommend DK?

Main hoop 45mm.

[drift kid]

Well cams requirements are 1.75" seamless tube for the main hoop (44.45mm) and the legs in 1.5" seamless (38.1mm) so that's what I would use but your call, if it all needs to be 45mm for rego do that

[marvis]

I don't care for cams. This will be fine for me.

My guy should be OK for doing cage.

[drift kid]

Haha fair enough, hopefully it comes up good

[Water Boy]

Very much enjoy your updates!

[Jdm-Mcc]

If your dude isnt keen, hit up Bond Roll Bars in sydney, they have drawings for most vehicles and well priced

[marvis]

I'll find someone to plate it, or I'll flag it.

[Jrad]

Sucks to hear dude! Hopefully you can get something sorted out.
Nothing is worse than putting in a heap of work and it be null and void :(
Good luck!

[drift kid]

Bonds is a little far to travel for a half cage in his daily lol

[marvis]

First coat of primer. Threw a second on after picture.

Will paint tomorrow.

I drive it on the street, nearly everyday sometimes. I can go drifting and not have to worry about being caught or looked at as much. I do have police look at me heaps, but I've only been pulled over once in three months and this would be because of the height.

If I lower it and get caught it will be impounded for 90 days. I'd rather drive it on the street and not worry then have it looking cool stuck in my garage or an impound lot for internet points.

You might not know this but a lot of the cars in the era that this was based on was around this height, or shakotan. So it's pretty period correct.

What's your excuse trailer queen?

Haha~

[Kevspec]

Interior looks heap good man, but you need a new centre console lid ;)

[marvis]

Thanks! I know (￣Д￣)ﾉ

[marvis]

Yeah! There is a video on the first page from when I first got it.

[Jacobxxx]

I didn't see the point in spending 1k on a box that is weaker then what I have in it just for a clutch. I wanted to do suspension etc first. I think drifting auto has made me a better driver for it too. Different driving style!

I'll probably start collecting parts for a W5x conversion soon.. Want to buy a scooter for a daily to get around on when my partner isn't around.

Dio or maybe a Jog.

Jogs are the tits, don't expect to go anywhere fast though. Or be noticed by 99% of traffic, people will tend to merge into you more often than you think. Ask Beall about his small bike dramas.

Also. Where are my stickers fiend! hahaha

[marvis]

Haha, I've ridden bicycles on the road for agess now. I know what goes on.

As long as I can pop wheelies and peel out I'll be happy.

They were sent like two weeks ago?!

[Beefy_Heafy]

just read the whole thread. quality work marv.

the job you did on the rear quarters is mint, came out better than new!

[marvis]

Thanks man!


Some of you might know the Mira was defected on New Year's Day. Coooll!

So we have flagged that and we are flying to
Sydney tomorrow to pickup a beige K12. Already have 17x7 Mini Cooper wheels for it.

Here's an example. Wheels are similar.

Pretty keen.

[drift kid]

If that's what you're into

[marvis]

What does your girlfriend drive? She's owned more bad ass cars then you!




And me..

[Disco Bob]

Get a Dio!

[drift kid]

Lol, her civic was pretty rad and now she drives a crx

[drift kid]

Micra does look cool though, mini wheels aren't so mini

[Jacobxxx]

Is that a dead cat? Wtf

[marvis]

No hahaha.

Mod plate tomorrow. Not sure if cages going to be done. Urgh.

[marvis]

Modified my streetglow radio bar controller. It also can do my LEDs now. I'll probably install them tomorrow and take a video.

Thought these K12s might interest you Marv.

When I was in Europe I noticed how popular the all are! (I'm a fan of them, haha!)
They have some cool grills for them, that can either come with indicators, or foglamps.
Also heaps of little variations between models/what i can only assume are early/late variants.

Something for you to look at/think about if you wanted to do something a little different!

[marvis]

Meg wants to change the grill. Something like this one. Or the second one you posted.

[Jrad]

Yeah, that one is pretty cool!

If I had to drive to and from the city every day (an hour away), I'd rock a Micra or a Yaris.

[marvis]

Mod plate!

Yeahhhhh!

Cage, coilovers, seat, no rears seats, bigger brakes and LSD.

[drift kid]

Congrats m8

[Andrew]

Jackpot! Such an awesome car.

[marvis]

They seem to feel good man! Thanks!

So much chunk haha~

[w1nt3r]

Saw this featured on Mighty Car Mods! I love the Japanese modifications you have performed on this! Any plans on a 3500+ stall? What 1/4 mile time does it currently run?

[Fryters]

Interior lights look rad!

[marvis]

I knew you would like them!

Without MCM my car wouldn't be where it is today.


Going 5000rpm stall.

Runs like 11's mate, all wheel spin though.

[Jacobxxx]

MCM taught me how to install a monster tacho to my excel

[Pidgey]

Lights are cool as fuck!

Marvis Nicehoops
