4agze water plumbing?

[datto4age]

Hi guys I have a 4age blue top in RWD setup, I'm thinking of changing to ae101 gze would like to know if the RWD water plumbing is the same?
And are there many other things that need to be done to convert a 4agze to RWD.
Thanks

Factory RWD Water setup won't work on a 4AGZE (purely from what I've heard and seen on the net) as the thermostat and outlet from the head foul on the SC. You can use the normal FWD remote thermostat housing and FWD pump and head outlet. You'll need to modify the pipes running along the engine, but there are about 1000 writeups on how to do that.

Other bits are:
- a spacer so you can flip the intake pipe leading to the throttle
- modifying SC outlet pipe and inlet manifold for a front mount
- mounting coils somewhere
- maybe moving the alternator to clear the swaybar (can be an issue in AE86s, but sounds like you've got a Datsun anyway)

Again there are a bunch of writeups with way more detail floating round the net.

Using the parts you should have with the 4A-GZE you will be able to do the following:

You cut the water pump suction pipe in 1/2 and reuse it below the S/C bracket, you will need to add the 8mm throttle body coolant pipes to suit.
