Any help would be great. Thanks guys

G'day :yes: I have a few problems with my ae82 sedan with the steering. I chucked a 4age in my car and now i have really bad torque steer, I don't have power steering but i can sorta manage to control the torque steer but I have another problem... When ever I go over a dip in the road or a small bump the steering seems to have a life of its own and wants to either go left or right. What was really scary was the other night, it was a really wet dark road and pissing down rain (first time i drove in the rain with the sedan). As I'm driving along, every time i hit a small puddle the car wanted to turn. It took all my effort just to keep the car in a straight line.…

Have a welder? Want a bigger exhaust? In fact you don't even need a welder (although it will end up cheaper if you do :dance:. Go down to your local wreckers such as the wonderfull U-Gank it here in adelaide and go down to the falcodore section of the yard. There you will find two sizes of exhaust, 2.25" and 2". I opted for the 2" because it should suite a 4k just fine. The 2" systems generally come from the early model cars and the 2.25" come from the newer models. The other reason I chose the 2" was because they come with longer stright sections and the hump for clearing the axle is a bit longer. They also had less resonators/mufflers taking up precious exhaust leng…

Hi everyone, I'm looking to save my KE70 van from daily duties and give her the attention she deserves. :? (in no particular order: power, paint job, front coil-overs and a clean interior ) The van has a standard bigport 7rib running (standard ecu) in it atm but I'm looking to go turbo. I want around 120-140kw atw max for it. i want this power and no more because i have a t50 and a t series celica diff. not wanting to go W box, r31 diff etc etc.. plus i don't think I'm that greedy :( she will move along not bad with this power :D Now the main thing running around in my head is: do i work on my bigport and setup a turbo with this or buy an old GZE and use tha…

Hey guys, Just wondering if anyone knows anything about 2-stroke motors, or more precisely scooter motors. I have a Bolwell scooter and have fitted a 70cc big bore kit and an exhaust, the problem is that it goes really nice when it's first started but after about 5-10 mintues it just doesn't want to idle. Come to a stop, let it idle, and it just dies. I have to rev it to keep it going, but it idles heaps smooth just after starting. Can anyone help? Cheers in advance Jono

Hi I have a ae102 seca a couple of days ago I noticed a thud in the rear left as the wheel spins. I have swapped the wheel with the front left to see if it was the wheel but made no difference. Any suggestions on what it could be? I jacked the rear up and freely spun the wheel and there was no thud, so could it be in the suspesion.

just curious is it possible to put a V6 engine into ae82 sedan? if so what would be a good engine to put in? cos I'm on P's and not allowed turbos but would be a good sleeper too.

i have notics a few people askin the question how to set up a cam and timing makes i found this website it may just help http://www.romac.com.au/Factory_Timing_Marks.pdf

I'm after some suggestions as to the optimal settings for the wheel alignment. :dance: A brief history on the car: bought as a damaged vehicle through pickles auctions, control arms mashed up, some front end damage, bent chassis. The chassis was straightened (paid someone to do it) the control arms have been replaced, some of the panel work done (new guard and some paint) and some basic work for a RWC. The engine has since been rebuilt, a piston was broken in two piece and it was making a rather odd noise The gearbox has also been rebuilt a few times (oil leaks, noisy bearings, crunchy synchros etc). The car has about 190,000km on it now. Anyway, recently I've …

Well I've read 100 times now, people saying that toyota inflated there power rating of the 20V 4age engine series. I'm quite certain this rumour is because all Japanese engines are rated in PS (metric HP) and people forget to take that into consideration. I'm assuming a 20% drivetrain loss for RWD vehicles. Crank power crank PS crank HP RWHP RWKW Silvertop - 160 157.8 126.2 94 Blacktop - 168 165.7 132.5 98 Now not everyone makes 94kw with there ST 20V, but there are many people that do. If you're making 85kw atw on a dirty old 20V with unknown km's on it you're doing …

Hey I pulled my engine down due to blowing smoke. As I though time for new rings. But I went to get a set of rings and I found out that ACL have sold up and have moved over seas. I can't find any. So I was told it might be easier to get a new set of ring and pistons. I currently run 20' over so maybe time for a set of 40'. Any help with finding some would be great. B Rad

Hey guys, i'm in the process of trying to get a rwc on my keto and was wondering if anyone would know what sort of cable the bigger one in the pic is? the smaller ones a standard i got off a mate, but i can't seem to find one that fits the box?... as you can see see the problem with the bigger one is that it simply doesn't have the cable in it.

The T18 needs to sit lower. We have an account with King Spings at work so I was heading in that direction, just wondering what the general consensus is on King Springs.
