Mounting in an AE71 should be more or less bolt in. Mounting in a KE70 requires a bit more stuffing around with engine mounts and hydraulic clutch.

You should be able to use the standard AE71 gearbox, as long as you drive it with respect. Upgrading the gearbox isn't really all that simple (you'd probably go to a W5x out of a Supra) and those gearboxes are HUGE anyway. If I'm not mistaken the AW11 4AGZE still has the dizzy in the same place as all the other 16V's, so you won't have a problem there. As far as I know the engine is identical (visually) apart from the supercharger, and I think it's AFM instead of MAP.

Oh but you can never have too many rallies... just too little time :insane: Glad to have you back!

Hehe, no probably not :insane:

Actually if I'm not mistaken crappier pads usually have a wider operating temperature window, they just don't work quite as well in the higher extremes (which I suppose you'd hope you don't get to...)

Then use "normal" brake pads. Cheaper, and they'll probably still work better than small brakes with race pads. Most race pads aren't suitable for street use anyway, because of the large amount of heat required for them to work effectively, and even with "small" brakes you still need to sit on them to get them to heat up, and then if you don't use them for awhile they cool down again and then they stop working again. For the same reason, cross drilled discs aren't really suitable for street use because they don't like heat cycles too much. Again, same with race tyres. It's all a compromise. I use race-oriented brake pads on the front of my car. They probably aren't the best, but they work fairly well cold, and rather well hot (though they squeel a bit). Even with massive brakes on the car you just need to sit on the brakes a bit and they'll heat up. I can get my "oversize" brakes to operating temperature well before I even get to the bottom of my street. Oh well, like I said - believe what you want. I don't claim to know everything, or be a professional at anything (hell I know there is a lot I don't know), but this is my opinion anyway. If you feel that small brakes are better, then well... so be it.

Hey if I'm not mistaken rice is one of the major exports of Malaysia :insane:

I wouldn't say it's boring, but those people sure are creative!!!

But if you put them in sideways, they have almost zero drag :jason: Kinda hard to fold them to fit in the karts sideways though :insane:

And yet again, from the very resourceful Malaysian people, comes... DIY blow off valve for NA cars This is soooo borderline jokes/funnies section...

From the people who brought to you DIY brake lines... DIY steering extension :insane:

Umm. I wouldn't agree with that. There are a few advantages of bigger brakes. 1) There is a lot more POTENTIAL braking power. Because of that you aren't maximising your brakes when you get to the point of lock-up, and it is easier to control on the limit because you don't have to mash the pedal to the floor to get it to that point. More braking power also means if you do get better tyres then you will be able to utilise it better. 2) Because you aren't maximising your brakes to pull up, you generate less heat, and because your brakes are bigger, you dissipate the heat faster. This equates to less brake fade, and more effective braking. And no, I didn't say I was going to do this conversion either, I've already got big brakes on my car. It was just an option for anyone seeking out bigger brakes. Seriously though Ben, sometimes I wonder where you get your ideas from... If bigger brakes were a disadvantage, I'm really wondering why they bother to put them on race cars and stuff. Have you ever seen the size of the brakes on a Lotus Exige? And that's a really light car too. And I have a feeling it may not have ABS. Or maybe it does, I forget. A lot of race cars don't though. But they still have big brakes. It is true that putting ridiculously big brakes on a small car with a small engine (eg putting the brakes from Hal onto Pinky) is probably a waste of money since you'd never ever get fast enough to use them anyway, but I wouldn't call it a disadvantage. In fact, the only disadvantage I can think of to big brakes is weight. But the advantages far make it worthwhile, especially if you're using alloy calipers. Oh well, believe what you want, I like my big brakes.

But I AM a cut-out :insane:

Hahaha... Need better tyres first :insane:

Hell no :insane: The brakes on my car are probably overkill (276mm vented slotted rotors on the front with 4 pot calipers and Race Brakes RB74 pads, 280mm solid rotors on the back with single piston calipers), but I still want more :jason:

It appears that it all bolts up (mostly anyway), and if it does then it'll be a far more straight forward and cheaper, and better upgrade than most of the usual Toyota upgrades eg Pug discs + Hilux calipers. S13 brakes (well, the SR20DET versions) seem fairly big, and if I'm not mistaken the calipers are alloy like most other Dattos of the era. The equivalent in the "usual" would probably be Pug discs and Mazda RX7 calipers, and we all know how much RX7 calipers cost. In fact, if the S13 front end does bolt in, then you can do the usual brake upgrades for S13's, and if I'm not mistaken the Skyline stuff bolts on? I think Craig was running Skyline rotors and calipers for a bit but couldn't find wheels to fit or something...

Yes, the front splitter is twisted. Has been broken too many times. Have been meaning to fabricate a bit of an undertray or sump guard to also help to support it a bit better, but have been too slack... And yes, "I wanna be, a Nacho man... Nacho Nacho Man..."

Hehe, I have to work on my "posing" ... must learn to become a Poser :insane:

Professional? Pah, he couldn't even photoshop me to make me look macho and stuff :insane: :jason:

I think the thread got more interesting when they were comparing the 4AG with the B16.

Something a little different... S13 front end in a TA22 Craig is also running this setup in his Datsun1200

This is just special :insane: DIY braided brake hose It can only come from Malaysia, really...

Friday evenings get complex cause most people have to work Friday days... I know I'd be pushing it to be there for 6.15 through rush hour traffic on a Friday...

Was thinking of coming, but it appears that silly Camry has shat itself in a rather large way, so I have a feeling I'm going to be busy trying to fix the shitbox this weekend... Hmm... I wonder how much 3SFE's go for these days...
