nz = dumping ground for japanese cars past 60000km. rooting sheep has its advantages :greenbounce:

HOLY SHIT :greenbounce: that's a good photo. but it would have landed surely? it doesn't look like it has enough angle to tip

you adjust boost pressure by changing the amount of air the wastegate actuator sees, not by adjusting the wastegate itself there's nothing wrong with a valve-type boost controller, that's like saying anyone who has an efi vehicle *could* run the factory computer, but really you'd be best off saving up for a motec

its not hard. pushrods out, lifters out, distributor out, fuel pump off, radiator out, belt off, crank pulley off, sump down, timing cover off, mark gears and chain with whiteout, tensioner off (don't drop the bits in the sump), cam plate off, cam out. reverse procedure to install, set tappets and ign timing. done

of course it can be done, anything can be done, i'm just saying it's more trouble than its worth. the guards are fully different around the indicators, you look at them next to an aus ke70 and you just shake your head

haha everyone's all over john lennon's death, even before it happened, check this shit out http://www.healthynewage.com/John_Lennon.htm

i doubt it's a te27 diff if it's in australia. both have 6.7" t series centers and 4x114.3 pcd. te27 suspension is different to ke25 on the front, i don't know if they run different leaves or shocks. ta22 stuff would need to be shortened, or you can run fwd offset rims on the back and it will just fit

solid mount hub spacers to change your pcd must be engineered too

you're going to need ALOT of this :greenbounce:

nick was jim morrison in a past life :greenbounce:

nah you can get out of them too easy, i usually use business ties, my bed handily has great tie posts too :greenbounce:

awd is far superior in the wet. a stock makkinen was at the last hillclimbs, he was doing f@$king AMAZING times flogging my friends' 200kw wrx and modified vr4 galant. it looked like he was going really hard in it! the evo driver gets out and says "man i had to take it easy, this is the first time i've driven it in the wet, i just bought it three weeks ago". there is a car with potential nothing beats a boxer, even an old dak dak with a decent muffler sounds better than 90% of normal cars :greenbounce: and last time i checked, a decent turbo supra cost about double what a second hand turbo wrx does, and is still a heavy bucket of shit. tezzas aren't cheap either new cars may be a different matter, but there's no way you'd catch me dead in an 01-onwards rex or 7-onwards evo, they are definately butt ugly motor vehicles :doublebird:

hahaha i like this guy :greenbounce:

well i've done it and i wish i had gotten a 5k. i mean seriously, any engineer who makes you do more than a ke70 brake upgrade to use a 5k is a dickhead, just shop around until you find the right guy a 5k is about $500 and assume $150 for engineering. i think that is money well spent, and as they say, hindsight is better than foresight balancing a bottom end would cost a few hundred. lighten the flywheel too ($100). and add a hd clutch ($250). i'd personally spend the money getting bigger valves put in the head and a professional port job, they're definately a big restriction point in a 5k ($600)

bahahahaha :greenbounce: i have a pair of these thumbcuffs myself, on my bedside table as we speak

haha no, you swap a 4k into a car with a 3k. the people you see not using 5Ks are the ones too lazy to engineer it, like me :greenbounce:

out of interest, what was the quote?

time to stop talking about datsuns ben

nothing bolts into corollas except K motors if you want something better, you need to work at it, or pay someone else to. time to learn how to search

bingo

hey man, glad you find the faq useful, i might even update it one day :greenbounce: rollaclub is a good base of knowledge too, especially in relation to the later model boxy rwd corollas. enjoy your stay and good luck with the head swap where abouts are you?

i think you need to speak to VDO and get a manual or diagram for your tacho

Hillside Auto Dismantlers, search white pages in Lismore, but it may be in a town listed as Tuncester or something stupid. haven't been there in yonks, so i have no idea if it's still there. it was acutally pretty worthless to them as the engine was f@$ked and hardly any of the main panels swap over to aus models, so i wouldn't be surprised if it's been cubed looks like this http://superjamie.fotki.com/cars/wreckers/...104_ke70_1.html it was a malaysian ke70, but for the purposes of this exercise i'd say they're the same. those up there might actually be KE70 GT which you'd probably only find in new zealand these days seriously, for the amount of changing over you'd need to do - which is the entire front end including guards, radiator support panel, radiator, fan, bonnet PLUS the headlight bowls and headlights PLUS wiring - why bother? we were going to do it to sam's ke70 but one look in the engine bay and it went into the too hard basket

we both have them on our motors nobody better to tell you not to do something, than somebody who's already done it and wished they hadn't

nah it just goes to the shops and back. in 5 seconds. including a browse of the magazine stand :greenbounce: wtf is that turbo? the dump and the wastegate are HUUUUGE
