AE71 + JDM 4AGE

[anastasios]

So good news, its a 4.3 ratio, a big step up from 3.9 should be fun. also double checked axles are 25mm

need to sell a set of onis now to fund some new discs and pads

Just watched your vids, 4.3's will be awesome in this.
good work mate

[anastasios]

yea should help with the acceleration, i would like 4.7 but will wait till i ruin the 4.3 first

Sent from my GT-I9100T using Motorculture mobile app

shit so it has been 6 months, in that time I have been to japan, germany (drove 86 around nordschleife) france and greece























also couple weeks ago got the ae71 back on the road.

The cwp is noisy though so I will look at options for new gear set, most likely a weir 4.7

I also installed a Grp4 adj 4 link kit with poly bush chassis side and rose joint diff side, traction brackets and car is currently at Heasmans getting setup




Also got my hands on GT Apex passenger seat as the KE70 seat rails i had on KE70 seat were shit house

One weekend my gf was at her nans house in Cessnock, she found this in a back room



so awesome!!

I decided to use JDM AE86 brake booster, master cylinder and prop valve as now i have JDM AE86 brake setup all round

Got the booster tested, which was fine, cleaned and painted it up



got the BMC rebuilt with stainless bore and cleaned up

bought some goodridge stainless braided brake lines





At the moment it is at heasmans getting pinion angle setup and panhard aligned properly

cool thread

that road looks hard on brakes - what car did you do it in? Where is it exactly? There is a similar one in italy

Glad someone else on here took the 86 around the ring, how good is it? Did the one you drove have a cage etc?

im keen to go to the toyota museum in japan after seeing your pics!

Furka Pass in Swiss Alps in Switzerland was done in Peugot Turbo diesel, When i was on it 5 supercars blurted past me at stupid speeds, insane.

86 round ring is probably best thing i have done in my life. I did it in this car, yep had cage, semis, suspension and i think a bit of engine work.
It was such a rush, scary, nerve wrecking. The people on the public day are mental, 5 cars written off in the half day i was there.





Japan was amazing, such a culture shock. We worry about all these JDM cars but really its such a small minority over there. They love kei cars and cubes etc.

I reckon i could live in the library of Toyota Automobile Museum

haha yeah, we drove a stock 86 with neovas and trd brake pads, was awesome, i went back again this year but the track was closed so I went to watch the WRC instead

the 86 is a truly good car

we saw a motorbike slide out hit the railing and catch on fire in a big way and some locals in a turbo 3 series undertaking (against the rules) and lighting the tyres up in the process

good times

did you leave traction control on when you went around?
