Hey guys need to replace the front timing cover seal on the crank of the 1980 rs132 corona. when removing the pulley the balancer behind does not have a center bolt??? All i can see is it has a key way and no thread in the centre. Does this mean i just use a puller to get it off? What holds the thing on the crankshaft?? Thanks guys hopefully someone has done this before.

hey guys is there any difference between a front wheel drive flywheel and a rear wheel drive one and are bigport 4age flywheels the same as smallport cheers fellas

Ok so i've got a manifold for my 4age in my KE55, but the flange suited is t3, i have tdo4l turbo but i don't know what type of flange it is? BMC racing has adapters for them 60 but they don't have post to AUS. And I'm not keen on paying over 100 for a machine shop to make one. If someone knows where i can get one, would be great

Hey, I have come to the realisation that, finding stock dual carby set up from the kexx sprinter models is going to be a tough ask. So I'm wondering if I could set up single carbys and set them up on a custom manifold? Has this been done before? If so is there any places in adelaide that would be able to help me out? Cheers Tom

Hi all I have looked for answers to this type of question, but any links welcome. I have just got a KE30 2 door and the steering is very heavy off centre. Everything is std and original (good condition). What can I do to improve the steering feel? Is this common? I am looking for something that will inspire confidence. Please note I will get a wheel alignment, but I suspect this isn't the issue as it tracks straight, doesn't wobble, has good tyres, etc. Thanks for looking and helping. Micksute

Hey all. Just wondering if anyone has managed to achieve more lock on steering box corolla's? As my ke10's lock is pretty average. Are there any tricks to achieving more? Any idea's? Cheers

Ive been racking my brain on how id go about fitting and undercar surge tank in my ke30. I vaguely remember seeing build threads hear on rollaclub where guys had custom ones made up but after searching, I can't seem to find em. From memory they where kinda rectangular shaped that hugged the tire well but I can't honestly remember. If anyone owns or knows of these cars, could you give us a link to the build threads or any other info (based on personal experience) would be appreciated. I really don't want to put a surge tank in the boot.

hey guys I'm looking for a workshop in adelaide i can take my RN25 hilux diff into to have the leaf mounts swapped to spring and shock mounts any suggestions on workshops. and I'm chasing a LSD for it i believe a MA70 is the LSD to be looking for if I'm correct? cheers guys.

hey i have done about 2 hours searching and have not found the answer I'm after, i recently picked up an sc14 with no pulleys bearings or coils on the front... how can i do a vbelt conversion without using any of the clutch parts i.e. make a v belt pulley fit onto the splined shaft of the supercharger... or would it be better to find a clutch and wire it to ignition power so its on all the time? goin on a 4k btw, this is a pic i found of how mine is atm

Hi all, For work I have had to look through a lot of Australian Standards for some market research I am doing. I ended up getting a bit side tracked with Standards for Automotive Modifications. I stumbled upon this page: http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/downloads/vsi/vsi_15_engineering_signatories_november_2010.pdf If you scroll down, there is a list of registered Engineering Companies for NSW, VIC, QLD, SA & WA which may be helpful for some people. I know in WA, there is a separate page on the WA government's site for Automotive engineers. So this may only be helpful for NSW & VIC people. I did search, but couldn't tell if this had been posted before…

Simple question really... here's what I've got I've got a KE55X (hardtop) "rolling shell" and a Complete 3K running gear... in wrecked ke30 can I rego the ke55 with the 3k in it???

just in the process of picking up a ke70 wagon and was wanting to use as my first learning project car. i want it for drifting and a drag car, would like to get an ideas on engines to put in I'm wanting to turbo it aswell. been looking at sr20 and 4age and was wondering if anyone knew which was easier and what has more power and would suit the turbo. got alot of mates that are willing to help plus my dad and uncle all either are very car minded or are mechanics not a p plater, looking at spending about 10grand and road worthy for mainly a weekend runner and odd occasion drive around on week days to take to the track cheers

hey guys as the title states will a ke70 diff fit into a rt142 corona which has the solid rear end?

Ok if I were to mount number plates on a 1967 ke10 what bolts/screws/nuts will I need size wise?! Just to save screwing around tomorrow. Cheers Tom

I have a coil pack 4agze and was wondering if someone could tell me what the sensors on the airbox are as i would like to install a highflow pod air filter. Engine managment system is Wolf 3D Cheers, -Bob

Have read that it's possible to run a 4age with standard computer and turbo it and all i have to change is injectors and map sensor. supposedly 4agze injectors and 4efte map sensor are used. does anyone know if this will work? Do 4agze's use afm or map sensors? any other map sensors work?

hey guys my baby doesnt wanna start..we tried putting new terminals on her cause the old ones were stuffed and still wont start..so I'm thinking its her starter motor...how much u recon would it be to get one for a ta22 celica and where would i get from, buget would be good cause I'm kinda low on cash ....thankuuu :)

I thought something seemed a little odd when I was looking at it last: we have a ke36 panelvan, with a two reservoir master cylinder, both reservoirs mounted on the master cylinder. the way the brake lines are hooked up, the rear (secondary) circuit is closest to the booster, and the front (primary) circuit is the further of the two away. looking at the other corolla with working brakes, the front (primary) is hooked up closer to the booster, and the rear (secondary) is the further of the two away, although it is a ke55 master cylinder (square reservoir).... reading on the internet, I'm under the impression that the front should always be the closest to the brake boos…

about to fit a 32/36 weber to my stock 5k. can anybody give me an idea on what jets to use, would be greatfull cheers mick

Hi Can any one post a pic of how their bonnet cable run's in a KE2#? I wish to install one in my TE21 on the right hand side of the car. I don't know were it passes through the fire wall etc as it snakes it's way to the front. Thanks Shane

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had any idea if you could replace the standard ke20 tail lights(pictured below) with ke25 tail lights (pictured beneath)? The overall shape of the tail lights seem to be very similar, but i wasnt sure if they would fir in the recessed section in the rear of my ke20. Any help would be awesom, cheers

Can it be done? I have a ke70 crossmember with brakes and stuts and cut springs. Will this fit in the front my Ke10 or is it easier to covert to the drums as per the FAQ section? And does anyone have some stockies for sale so I can move this thing around abit easier? I'm located in the hunter.

Hello I have a KE 36 (1976) I just want to know what the standard brakes are like in these cars. At the moment they seem pretty well useless and finding myself using gears to pull her up, is this normal? I would like to know before i pull the wheels off and check the brakes. This may also be related but i find the car very hard to push even on a flat driveway. Cheers guys

Might be a dumb question but for some reason i don't know where to hook up the tac on the distributer?

Hey can anyone tell me if a dizzy from a carby 7k would be suitable for a 4k with side draft weber and extractors, will i need to have it re-graphed or are they o.k as is and what's the deal with tiny leads? Also i know i'll need coil to suit anything else?

hey guys, recently return the stock carby to my 4k, it had a weber, everythings hooked with imissions gear, turn over but wont start? Any help would be much appreciated

Hey guys and gals my mate matt from morgan park performance has an lc torana racecar that needs two rack ends that has 9/16 course thread....according to him it isn't a factory rack.

hey all. if anyne has a ke70 manual box and EVERYTHING to do a manual conversion on my ke70 in brisbane please let me no. thanks ashton.

Hey guys, I need to know the measurement of a ke30/55 tie rod from stud to stud, As close to accurate as possible would be great but i really just need a measurement of somekind.. If anyone has one or could measure the one on their car that'd be sweet! Cheers

Has anyone here had much experience with the Toyota 4M motors, carby version? Are they as easy to work on as say, a Corolla 3k/4k motor? I am somewhat looking for Cressida or Crown which runs a 4M, but I don't want to get something that is a nightmare to work on, particularly seeing as my mechanical knowledge goes no further than a basic service on the holden V6's, and the 4AGE motor.

My toyota is a 1976 with an auto transmission. It seems to only have 3 usable gears. I am not sure if there is a 4th or not. I am having carb / possibly vaccume issues that I am still sorting out, but I was wondering if that would relate to the transmission at all. Here are some pics that might have some info: specs of car: Can you spot any issues? You can see the gear selector has L, 2, and 3. Is this what the 4 speed autos have? or is this a "toyotaglide" 2 speed?

Hey does anyone know what I can do to my ke55 3k auto to get some good power out of it without replacing everything? It's in great nik and I'm thinking of keeping it old school but I want power!! Also it has to be leagel for me to drive on my p's

I rebuilt my carb. After getting it all together I noticed that the bowl wasn't filling with gasoline. If I manually fill the bowl the car runs fine, but it wont fill itself. I am almost certain that the twists that were needed to take the fuel solenoid off were just enough to kill the ancient wiring soldered on the back. Any other thoughts?
