Hey I'm probably doing this conversion in the near future, but does anyone know if the stock KE30 tail shafts fits?
-
no i needed the ammount because i was using an additive, and it was relevant to the litres of oil.
-
Can someone please tell me how many litres of oil a 5k takes? i need the answer asap.
thanks in advance, Isaac.

If anyone has an answer for me please post.yeah apparnetly he didnt get defected for the coilovers, he got done for the the car being too low.ive been trying to find information like that that is applicable in queensland. not having much luck....
thats interesting about the permanent locking thing that doesnt allow you to go lower than legal height. one way of doing it i guess.
though i belive that there are a few "coilover" companies around that are considered ADR approved (places like fulcrum sell TEIN coilovers) and i wonder if they have that permanent limiter thing on them.
ive discovered that trying to find what is legal and what isnt, is a complete pain in the ass.

Hmm, this is the DTEI stance on coilovers. I should get my CPE I can write a nice little report and charge people 500 bucks for it!
Aftermarket Suspension Units
Aftermarket front and rear suspension units are available that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle’s suspension height to be varied. The adjusting of the threaded spring saddle varies the lower position of the spring and therefore, the vehicle ride height, but does not alter the amount of suspension travel. These are commonly known as coil overs.
For these units to be an acceptable alternative to the original manufacturer’s suspension, they must meet the following criteria.
They must:
- have at least two thirds of the amount of suspension travel of the original suspension system fitted by the manufacturer of the vehicle
- have a rubber or other resilient bump stop to limit travel to ensure there is clearance between the coils when the suspension is at full bump
Sorry I worded my question poorly. Will ke70 stock struts fit into a ke30? And is it legal?
- incorporate a permanent locking device on the adjustment mechanism to prevent the adjusting of the suspension that results in the vehicle’s ride being less than that minimum legal height specified for that vehicle.
Verification of the above must be in the form of a report from a Chartered Professional Engineer (CPE). The report must specify the measured suspension travel of both the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) suspension arrangement and that of the aftermarket replacement. On receipt of an acceptable engineering report by Vehicle Standards, a Statement of Requirements will be sent to the owner detailing the modifications and any applicable conditions and the vehicle would be required to pass a roadworthiness inspection.
Vehicle Standards has a comprehensive list of minimum suspension heights for the majority of vehicles and can be contacted on 1300 882 248.

So I got defected for my coilovers, I can't find any good condition stock struts anywhere. My friend has some ke70 ones. Will they fit? I need an answer asap thanks

-
So i might be buying a set of 13x7.5 +10 SSR mk2's tomorrow, but I'm not gonna have time to do a test fit.
I'm running all standard brakes, I'm almost positive they'll fit. please tell me I'm right.

KE30
Partially worked/painted 5k, extractors, electronic ignition (bosch GT40 coil, new radiator, new alternator, theres more but i can't think of what just now. full engine rebuild at 100 xxx km's now done 137 xxx.
what i belive is "Otomoto" brand sleeve coilovers in front, but not completely sure and hard rear springs, brakes stock.
14 x 7 Enkei wheels, unsure of model (please help me out)
stock interior, but overrated minus two small tears in rear seat.
very very straight body. two owners previous the car was involver in minor colision and front left gaurd was dented but has since been fixed and left side of car has had respray.
-
so as some of you may of noticed i posted a 4agze thread in the WTB forum, but have had no replies what so ever.
can anyone tell me a good place to look besides boost cruising and AE86DC?
or even engine/carpart inporters such as adelaide jap dismantlers, or will i just get ripped off?
-
i can't stand big rims on rollas, anything above 15 is filth.
I'm keen 13x8-9 with massive offset.
maximum dish is a must, its the only way you can pull off three spokes.
IMO if your rims arnt dished.... they are shit
-
stop sooking
and thanks that means alot with the fact the overrated ke70
what does this even mean?
-
Gives the car wings!
it is a red bull can

Most 4k/5k manifolds also have a little bolt to block up a hole in the manifold (runner to # 1 or 2). You could also remove that, put in a little fitting and run it as a dedicated vacuum guage feed. Thats where I use to run my boost guage and BOV for the carby setup from.
Follow the BOV line to the manifold. :happy:
very helpful Taz cheers
