Well I really like the drifting look, so I was looking at some rims and found some with a size of 114.3 lugs 15 x 8 with an offset of +0 and I was wondering if anyone thinks it would hit any part of my 1979 2dr KE30? :hmm:

Any body know the Ke3* Stock Ride height??? Need it for the forms to get my car mod plated! Cheers Leigh

just wondering when people convert from 4agze to 4agte 1.does the computer run the engine well (such as fuel & timing)??? 2.whats your experiances??? 3.i have a tunned aftermarket ecu for a 4agze would it start and drive well enough before a full tune on a 4agte??? any1 done this or turboed a 4agze and took chargwer off as I'm intersted how your car went as its a common modification i would love to know how your cars went cause I'm guessing the vacume,time to hit boost,timing and fuel would differ from supercharged to turbo thank you

as it says i am wondering how much can be stripped out of a ke70 for my rally car

hi everybody i am wondering on if anyone has a ke70 khana cross or rally car as i am thinking of building one but i know the tank is hanging out the bottom of the car and don't want to put a whole in it how hard would it be to adapt a ke30 or 55 tank into the boot??

does anyone know what the weight of a 4 door ke10 weigh?? just want to know if its 800kg or more so i can put a 12a in it legaly?

OK Folks, I am building up a 4AC to go in my KE70, Eventually this will become a Rally Car, yes I know its not a 4AGE. (don't get started om this one, the categories I am planning to run do not allow it) So I have managed to get myself some 40mm Dellorto DHLA Sidedraughts to go on the 4AC, I know HKS used to make a set of intake manifolds to suit webber/dellorto carbs. So my question is, does anyone know how to get them, have made a set etc, can lend my diagrams to making my own etc, I have a good engineer helping on this one, however if anyone can lend their advice to me is appreciated and also easier. Also since we are on the same side of the engine, I need extr…

I just took my rolla out for a spin and after driving for about 10 mins, I noticed than when i put my foot down the engine bogged down and through the rev range it seemed to cough & splutter The other thing i noticed was that it had trouble revving past about 5000rpm(didn't seem to want to rev out) I think it has something to do with the carbs (twin dellortos) But i'm really not sure Has anyone come across this and how can i fix?

G'day Does anyone know a good place in Sydney where i can get my Carbies tuned? I want to try and find someone who really knows what they are doing Currently i think they are running rich and the idle is set too low All help is appreciated - Cheers

Hey i would like to remove the heater out of my ke70 just to get rid of some weight as i don't use it i was wondering how i would remove it? and would there be thing that i would have to bypass? thanks

Hey all, I've just done a search on here and came up with a thousand topics........................... Question- How on earth do i remove all of the sound proofing/body deadening from the floor inside my rolla? i'd be buggered if i'm going to spend two days with a screw driver slowly picking away at it. I've been told that i need to use some sort of heat gun? WTF? Any help would be greatly appreciated! cheers phatke30!

hi am i able to swap a ke30 borg center and pinion and put in a ke70 i blew a diff and don't have another i have read the faq but didnt really understand thanks

So I've noticed, in a lot of big HP conversions with upgraded differentials, some people prefer to go for a single tailshaft instead of doing a cut n shut on the rear section after the centre bearing. Other than being cheaper to fabricate, are there any inherent benefits to a single shaft? Does the KE70 centre bearing not handle HP very well? Now bearing in mind I'm setting up my '70 to handle rather than slide, do you think a single shaft would be detrimental in that it would add to the unsprung weight of the rear suspended components? Any related info or personal experiences would be appreciated. Cheers Jarad

I am halfway through a manual conversion on a ke35 I am trying to pull the pedal box out of a KE55 :yes: the bolts seem to be in akward spots Do i need to remove the dash or can it be done without doing that YOUR URGENT HELP IS APPRECIATED

my 3kc is pissin out oil.. ill park my car some where for a decent hour come back n there a small pool of oil... suggestion on where to look?? seals etc,, cheers :hmm: cam

I had 30 thou shaved off my 4k head to raise compression. So i put it all back together today but now there is a really loud tapping that sounds like its coming from the top end its, not valve clearance or the rocker gear because i adjusted the clearances until they almost had no gap at all but it wouldn't go away so i put another rocker gear in and still the same I'm thinking maybe because of the head sitting lower the push rods are on a different angle that makes them noisy but I'm not sure what do you think?

It appears that there is f@$k all decent 'sporty' shocks available for the KE70 struts. With most companies offering OEM replacements or nothing. So for those that haven't changed over to sprinter/corona/T18 struts. What shocks have you put in the front of your KE70? So far I've only found these companies to supply shocks to suit: Gabriel Monroe ACDelco Pedders Currently thinking either of the first three and f@$k pedders off.

I got a red top 4ag and I'm not getting any fuel out the injectors. theres plenty of fuel in the rail. and i put noid lights in the injector plugs and they work. i checked the ohms on the injectors and it reads 14.8. can anybody tell me whats wrong.? or something else i should check? is there any other way to check if the injectors are working or not? The fuel pressure regulator is good as is the fuel pump. any help, links, or anything would be HUGE! THank you.

I have recently purchased a 1974 ke20 and am looking to change the stud pattern... I am not knowledgeable about diffs, brakes and axels but hopely you guys can clear a few things up... Q.1 - If i were to get ke70 axels and brakes, will they slot straight into my existing diff? Q.2 - (don't judge me) - but rear ke70 axels are discs right? Q.3 - Spacers - I know they give you wider tyres but do/can they change your stud pattern (4x100 pcd to 4x114.3 pcd) ? Q.4 - Can i change the whole rear end (diff, axle and brakes) from a ke70 into a ke20 with no dramas? I would appreciate all help and knowledge, Thankyou Will

My 4k blew the head gasket so Its a good time to get the head shaved to give it a bit more power how much would you recommend taking off I'm thinking around 20 thou but tell me what you think. :dance:

hey i just lurked the first 10 pages of tech forums and couldnt find what i wanna know so here goes... firstly, I'm gonna put coilovers in the ae71, I'm thinking s13, with s13 brakes...as I'm a nissan boy :( what is involved, IE: control arms changes and what not?? and is it au falcon springs with now shorter shockers for the rear? second, the diff, will be welded i guess, needs to be disc break rear and keep same stud pattern. what should i use, T-series diff?? if so what has to be changed to put it in?? also will the falcon springs still work with that diff?? will neede to be able to support ca18det amount of power also any help will be awesome thanks…

Hey guys i thought id post up the differences in the heater bypass hose between the JDM & USDM AE86 twinky, The one i just bought from toyota in the US is for a left hand drive car which is slightly different but still works with your right hand drive cars, I am going to order 1 or 2 from Japan anyway but here is some pics. My USDM one: The JDM one off Terry's 86 racecar: Comparison pic: Now for part numbers:- JDM PIPE: 16278-16020 USDM PIPE: 16278-16050

I just aquired a 4K engine which is currently running a bit rough so i thought i would pull out the spark plugs for a look see When i unscrewed the plug, the sleeve/surround came out with it Is this normal? If not does it need to be fixed? How? And also, i want to get a good set of plugs to suit the engine specs as far as i know it has standard internals except for the cam, twin dellortos & extractors Any reccomendations for plugs would be appretiated Cheers - Andrew

Hi, Been researching TRD K motor parts lately and was curious to see if any one had info or more pictures. Now the pic below is of the TRD dry sump kit for the K motor: Now as you can see the new TRD oil filter mount has a red fitting in the side that is rather large. I dare say this is oil in as another red fitting is in the sump its self which is prob oil to the tank or pump inlet. Now the red fitting in the new oil pick filter housing if this is oil in Id say TRD blocked the oil in hole in the block so oil will be pumped in then go into filter then around motor. Now question is.... In the K motor when the oil pump is removed would of TRD just …

Still new to learning so try not to bite my head off a little lol. Alright I was thinking of a Holley 180 to go onto my 4K. I know it will need an adapter plate and have all that sorted. Though my father thinks that maybe an old Falcon XD? XF? Or something along there era might actually work good too. The weber was used on the 250 Cross-Flow engine that was in the cars. Does anyone know there CFM rate on there carby? I have searched a little on google and couldn't really find the right stuff. Cheers..

Hey guys, Anyone got a aussie KE20 tailshaft they don't want anymore??

Please tell me someone has one. :nervous:

How much for a good 12A to go in a 1200 coupe...

Hi all just finished converting my 5k motor from twin down draught webers to twin 40dcoe webers on my ke20. Just want to know what most people do for air filter setup, due to lack of room. I have bought a pair of filter socks in the smallest size but they seem to be to long, i am thinking about cuttting them in half to fit without being squashed up. also what do people do to support the webers and manifold because of the weight of the carbies. All comments and pics would help. :hmm: Here are a couple of pics of my weber setup.
