Hey Guys, Been lurking on the site for some time since started looking into KEs around 7-8 months back. Recently bought a 2dr 82 KE70 (or 71 not sure whats its called) Got it off an auction in Teas and car is getting shipped to Dubai currently. Apart from being a vivid Nissan/Datsun fan did a 240Z project in last two years, thread here on JNC http://japanesenosta...php?f=7&t=20880 And some pictures of it from last year once it was done, really proud of the achievement :) Courtesy of crankandistion, http://www.crankandp...972-datsun-s30/ And have another project running its a 72 Nissan Skyline aka Hakosuka http://japanes…

Hey peeps just wanting to know what I should be paying for for a standard 4age motor?

Hi i brought my grandmas 84 KE70 S model, it has stock 4K engine. runs smooth no problems until you get to a hill. The car will loose all power and stall out. even on a small slop you have to drop it back to 2nd and wont go any faster than 40. Could it just be the fuel pump or is it something big?

Hi, this may seem a silly questions, but I can seem to find the right people to contact. I own registered Toyota Publica but I also have Toyota Corolla KE13 I'm trying to get registered on Vintage Rego. At the moment I'm looking at the VAAWA, but would really rather go with a Toyota/Corolla club. Can anyone let me know how to get in contact with a club so I can join and get an inspection, to get my lil beast back on the road?? Thanks

Hi Rollaclub members. i'm a new member here and so happy to be a part rollaclub. I got some questions since I can't find any swap of 1nz-fe into a ke-70. Need to know that if it's possible to swap it into a KE70 with a 5speed tranny which i don't know what will fit and will the engine work on a Keinhin Flat CV carby? Suggestion and link of whome did this kinda swap would be really appreciated.

Assalam-o-alaikum fellow RC members. Please share me some links of the fasted 4k engine mod done by any RC member. Thankyou.

Just wondering how low king springs or similar will make my stock height ke70? Looking at buying those old school supra type wheels. I think they're ma61 or something? Then lowering it a bit so it doesn't look like a 4wd. Nothing too extreme. Ta

Hello there I'm the owner of a ke70 and i'm planning to do the 4age conversion alongside upgrades to the suspension (coilovers, ae86 suspension all round, ae86 brakes, etc) Now i need some advice on whether or not do the engine conversion first and then the suspension or vice versa? The suspension i can do no my own but the engine conversion i cannot. So what do you guys recommend doing first? Thanks in advance

I have recently acquired an 82 ke70 cs that is in as near to new condition as you could find. I was after a much older coupe or wagon project and came by this, not being able to resist due to its condition i now have buyers remorse as it isnt what i really wanted. So i was after some opinions as to what it may be worth thinking i might sell it to persue my original ideas. The car is a white 1 owner 64000km always garaged, the blue interior is basically unmarked including the carpet apart from a small tear on the drivers seat around the shoulder area. The body is amazing with two small rust spots on the rear panel where the boot shuts and unfortunately a dent in the passen…

hello there,I'm chasing some advice,i have removed my old rear window rubber from my ke70 as it was cracking,and i found a replacement on ebay,but what I'm finding hard to find is the beading you insert to keep the rubber pressed out against the glass,can anyone help thanks

Hi guys. Do you know if any 2dr Ke70 around for sale? Preferably quadlights model but whatever found is welcome. Thanks is advance.

Hi, does anybody here has a copy of the haynes manual?

Hi, I am looking at removing some of the door trim on my ke70 so i can get behind to remove some rust and paint over it. whats the best way to do this?

Hello rollaclub I have a question about my 4age 16v conversion. Will a standard KE70 rear axle be enough to handle the abuse of a stock 4age 16v with minor mods? Or do i have to search for a ae86 rear axle? Because in my country they are really rare and super expensive. I'm not planning to use my car for drifting or racing. It will be just a street car. Thanks

Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction for and drivers door for a ta22 celica 1974

Gday, Ive just joined up after buying a one owner brown Ke70 sedan off an old lady, true story! She wanted the thing gone as she can no longer drive and I felt sorry for her and kind of like the car. Its an 85 i think, brown, auto probably a 4k motor. Its has surprisingly tidy for its age with 2 small spots of rust and is completely original down to the receipt in the glovebox from when she bought it new! Plans at this stage are to throw a set of old style rims on it,( maybe jellybeans, hotwires or minilites) possibly a manual conversion and either warm up the engine or convert to a larger one. Basically i just want to make it a little more fun to drive? Anyway Ive h…

Drew Edward Thompson‎Rollaclub.com April 7 at 2:52pm · Kilcoy · I got a question for everyone? Is it true you can put a 4age into a ae71 with no mode plate cause it's a bolt in engine and their is no need for modifications done. And if so does that mean you can put one in and drive it on your red p's. Also some people say it's calassed as a EFI or something, just confused. Craig Tregear The E means EFI (I believe). The C in 4AC is for carburetor (sometimes the C in Toyota engine numbering means Californian emissions). Craig Tregear You just need to be careful about the difference between no modifications requires and production option (as I don't think …

Hi I got a 1980 Ke70 with 4K, usually when i turn the ignition i can hear a relay click in when i try to start the car, but now theres nothing, and it seems no power is going to the starter when i try turn it. Battery and everything is fine, so i suspect its the relay, but where is it located? Thanks for ur help, Tom

Hi there I new to this sort of stuff but anyway I have a ke70 project car it has a 4a cross member in it ready for a 4a to be dropped in, but I'm having troubles with the gear box I assume I need a t series gearbox but does that mean I need to change the gearbox cross members from k40-t50 and if so how hard is that to do. And also with the diff do i need a ae71 manual tail shaft and will that fit a ke70 diff?

Hey guys, I'm after some parts for my new 1984 Ke70.If anyone has these parts please get in contact because i am more than keen on these parts.I am after bumper bars for the front and back of the slant front ke70.I am also after some taillights. -Cheers.

Hey so I've recently brought a 1982 ke70, with a 4k in it still. I also brought a set of extractors off ebay. I went to install them only to find that on the intake manifold, there is a little tube that's goes to some sort of filter (I'm assuming that's what it is, laugh if you will) and then continues into The exhaust manifold, so if I install the extractors it doesn't have the little port to connect anymore (unless I make one, which I do not want to do) so can you tell me, do I need this thing? And what exactly is it? What does it do? This is the only photo I could find on the Internet, and it's a terrible angle, so sorry in advance. Thanks. P.s. Ignore the arro…

As the title says it all, I just want to know if its possible to put that gearbox behind the 4A-FE car by engine? Don't care if the gear is not strong enough or should I go for T50 blah birdy blah blah. Regards Syed Abdullah Mohsin DAISTEP

wanted some insight as to which way I should go from carbureted to fuel injected

81 te72. 3tc. Idles great, timing is perfect. Has a no name ebay header, bone stock otherwise. Stumbles or missfires all over the place. Replaced stock smoggy carb with one off of a 85 4ac. As far as i can tell its the exact same carb (other than the fuel line was different, being fwd. Swapped it to mine). Yes its a non rebuilt junkyard carb. Anyhoo, runs ABSOLUTELY no different. So its either the same exact level of crappy as my old one, or theres other issues. Checked for vacuum leaks with starter fluid and found none. Wondering if its the coil/modulator thing? Ive heard they are somewhat problematic. If y'all think thats it, then the next question is thus: the junkya…

Hey guys I'm looking for someone in SA (preferably Adelaide) to help me install a full manual conversion in my old reliable. I've got all the parts ready, including a bunch of extras I can't wait to get in (air con, ae71 quad headlights and more) Even if you know someone who owns a good shop that will give me a good quote, send me a message. Thanks!

Hello all! I'm Jonathan from sunny southern California. Currently working on a 1982 TE72 sedan. Thank you for having me here.

Hey all, I very recently acquired a 5k motor and I plan to fit it to my Ke70, I know how to do the engine swap so no questions there Since Currently the 4k in my ke70 is worked (2x 40 DCOE webers, Tighe 104 cam, 2' inch exhaust, 40 thou overbore for ACL pistons, All rotating components have been balanced, lightend flywheel, MSD 6a ignition system w/Blaster 2 coil...etc.) I've had my hand on working 4k's...But I've honestly done a 5k before so in the interest of learning etc. I'd like to know this What mods/specs have people built their 5k's (must be n/a, no forced induction) to, What kind of power output am I looking at (Streetable... like the 4k above)..…

I don't know much about this car except it is a second owner car. With 47000 original miles my question is simple is it worth 1000 dollars.

I really want to learn more about that powerfull engine,and when i say how it feels,i mean stock or modified,and if it is better than 4A-GE or a 7A-GE(With 20v and Crina's blocks,just like Keiichi's).And what do you thing is better for this engine,turbo,carbo-turbo or EFI turbo?

hey everyone, so I've installed a new tacho instruments cluster into my ke70, it had the good'old quartz clock cluster, and everything works, but the fuel gauge, I don't remember if the old one worked (still have in just encase there is part failure), but I've taken out the rear tail-lights cause I'm doing rust repair, and I noticed that the fuel gauge wasn't moving and staying in the off position, when the car is running, all the other things in the cluster work cause Toyota just used a standard wiring loom for all KE70's. so the question is, does the fuel gauge wire run though the tail-lights wiring? not 100% sure. and I can't find a wiring diagram that says anyth…
