I will be getting new suspension in the next couple of weeks, and the offset of my rims arent going to be the best. It already scrubs now when hitting bumps in the road and going fairly fast. So what is the cheapest and easiest way of rolling my rear gaurds? Thanks

At the risk of sounding like a typical girl.... Okay guys can someone please explain to this girl exactly what and how a strut brace actually does anything??? To me it doesnt look as though it could do much but i am eager to be edumacated....

ok heres the go, i have a ke70 corolla which has a fire breathing 4k, serious power there, but all those 30 kilowatts have told me that i need more, so i am askin what would go well. ive looked at 4a, but al;l the good ones are fwd and not all that great, what would fit with only a bit of stuffing around and give me some serious road-drivable power? thanks guys ~andrew~

gday peoples.... on the weekend i had a little bit of time to muck around with the dash lights in grover...i was sick of the green tinge they had because of the blue cover they have over the yellow globe. So i intended to fix it....by installing blue LED's into the bulb holders....thanks to Ruts suggestion (and the spare bulb he gave me). the result was good :unsure:

Hi Guys I can`t believe i`ve found a site that caters for my old corolla, :unsure: I had my car first in 91 as a daily driver,i resprayed it, lowered it,a set of alloy wheels and a set of seats from a liftback,I drove it like that till 96 when the 2nd 3kh motor expired and it`s been left in the garage ever since,I always wanted to make it go,stop and handle better, What do you guys suggest? Cheers Adrian P.s bodywork needs sorting first but the chance of more power is my inspiration

dus the 5speed gear boxof a ke 70 fit on a AE71 or 4AC??

Hey Today, I just felt like doing something apart from body work so I thought I'd just have a little look inside the engine. Now, I used a 14mm socket wrench and it was going well with the rocker cover bolts and then I got a few bolts in and just kept slipping off. It appears the bolt is 'stripped' and 2 others also. Any ideas on what to do? People before hand had fun with it by the looks of them. Thanks Troy

*points to title* so?

Gday guys. The other day ont he way home from work my clutch wasnt disengaging properly and thus it was quite difficult changing gears. Not what i wanted at the time as it was f###ing hot. Anyway i thought id fixed it by moving the circlip where the clutch goes through the firewall but that lasted a few days and the problem is back again. I have a 5k with a 5 speed gearbox out of a ke 70. I was just wondering if you guys could shed any liight on the topic as it is really pissing me off. I've checked every point along the cables travel and ive since deduced that it must be somthing wrong internally. Also the problem seems intermittent and only plays up when i exceed 3500 r…

I'd check but it's dark now, I was wondering wether the front calipars on the Ke30 are the same as they are on a Ke35? Cheers

Did a quick search and couldn't find the answer i was looking for. :jamie: Whats the quickest/easiest way to find stud pattern on a rim?

Here is a link to a Weber 32/26 carby for sale on eBay Oz : http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...me=STRK:MEWA:IT Does anyone know if (with an adaptor plate), it would be worthwhile performance wise fitting this to a 1.6 carby AE12 hatchback (1986 model). Would have to get a pro to fit it so even more $ involved. Possibly it would be worthwhile having a kit fitted to overhaul the Weber before fitting anyway. Not sure about under bonnet clearance, but should be ok. Amyone know if the standard, round shap air filter box (which sits on top of the current standard carby) would still fit this Weber ? All comments/views greatly appreciated. t…

Ahoy peoples. Just a quick question, Does the crankshaft pulley bolt on a K series motor (doing 5K atm) have a reverse type thread? (Clockwize to undo) or is it a normal (anti-clockwize to undo) ? Ive got access to all the SST's ever known to man, which Ive already made use off, but this one bolt has me rather stuck; the only fact in the Toyota manuals they don't tell you.. Ive got a hinting suspicion that IS a reverse type thread.. blast! :D

Hey guys I've got a 92 rolla with the standard 2E carby engine. My mate has tolld me that The injected, 12 valve, 1300 Sohc, 2e turbo version from 88 starlet drops straight in. I need to know how much work and what else i need to make this run. I've just purchased loom and ECU. I need to know anything else I need to buy or fabricate. :D

hey all joined long time bak wen i had a ke70 bunky, well it died and went on to have a 2.6 turbo transplant and now its time for another bunky, but this time i think i mite go abit mad and supercharge it, not really caring about strengthening the motor, i was wondering if anyone had a blue print for a bracket to hold a supercharger, and if so how they went with the supercharger on the 4k.. cheers

Thought some people might be interested in doing this to there rolla. Would be a great upgrade. http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=84919

I asked here and on other forums whether my 4K-C needs leaded, and I was told yes it needs lead substitute. However I was reading the "how to build a tough K engine" thing in the wiki... and it says "Valve seats made after February 1972 are made of hardened steel and are fine for use with unleaded petrol. Toyota Corporate themselves told me this." and my car is a 1981... so.... I should stop bothering with lead substitute? :hug:

does anyone know where i can get some adjustable rear shocks for my ke55? it's got lowered and stiffened leafs with pedders shocks at the moment but the rebound is a bit violent. there wound have to be something about that fits.

That's really nice guys, tops job. Just wondering what you used to strip the paint off? lol, and whos bike is it and what is it? And the twin headlight upgrade, what will that require wiring wise? Thanks Troy

Hey I've much deliberation I've decided to get rid of the bumper bars. now, question will I have to mount the 'reflectors/illuminators(Whatever they're called)' to pass rwc? I've been told I have to apparently. Thanks Troy

Hey I'm not sure whether this is possible on alot of car parts, but I'm interested because I really like the durability of the finish and the look. How cool would it be to have like an anodised panel LOL. Thanks Troy

Hi, just wondering if this is normal or not. When in third gear the gear stick moves back and forth as you put the accelerate on and off. The gearbox is behind a 3k motor which is in my ke20 corolla.

Can anyone help me with how to fit an after market tacho to my AE92 Rolla? I got it on ebay and the instructions where vague as. I asked my old man and he said where's the coil in the old days you just used to connect the electric tacho to either side of the coil and your dash lights for night time. I am a first time noob so go easy. :hug:

hey guys, what are 3k and 3k bigport heads worth. in complete, good operating codition? yo!

So i finally got around to putting the 5K back into my '74 ke30 today. When i was about to crank it over to get the oil pressure up, i realised the oil pressure light was not on. So i changed bulbs and holders.........still no good. I have changed complete dash clusters.......still no good. I have tested the wire that runs from the oil pressure sensor, to the plug on the back of the dash and it seems to be fine (the wire is intact in other words). I have swapped oil pressure sensors, but that didnt help. I had a test light on the back of the dash and i seem to be getting power to where the bulb plugs in (although i used the door handle as an earth). If i use …

hey guys, I'm looking at buying a 3k bigport head for my 4k i read in the wiki that is says: " They also have crappy valve retainers and stem seals, which you need to change to later 4K gear when you make power". now can i use my 20 yr old parts from my 4k on the 3k hed? and is it hard to change them over? also is it (swapping heads) a basic swap.. or do i need to buy little "this and that" parts? cheers
