Thanks man! theyre an awesome car, easy to throw around and they handle great, plus with the 4AGE, whats not to love? :D Agreed. lol Ive got the smallport 4AGE in there now. its still not running 100% but its a much better and much healthier motor than the bigport was, theres just heaps more torque but not much more power, thats probably thanks to the pod sucking in hot air (ill fix that tomorrow ;) ) Hopefully if the rain holds out ill find a nice corner and pop the tripod out ;) just havent been having luck with the weather recently

Happy Birthday Luke! glad you got the car running, shame its not the 5 speed though...

Hmm... odd. Ive got an AE92 shifter box and AE101 short shift kit you can have if it helps. don't know why you are having these problems, are you using the twin cam shifter box and cables?

Shame to hear that Tom, i know the feeling... hope you get a chance to get things done soon!

one more pic from a mate:

Skid sesh at your place? :laff:

2 effing G. Car has been sitting around for the last week with a few issues and i just got the chance to work on it today. Car started up beautifully, but had a few teething issues with the new motor. There's a bearing on one of the pulleys thats about to seize up so its making all kinds of noises, then when i put my foot over half throttle it just bogged down. I thought the timing was out so i adjusted the dizzy and played around until it was running perfectly. Took it for another drive, same problem but it now caused the engine light to come on. So i bridged the diagnostic thing to check out the engine code and turns out it was number 52. Looked through this 4AGE book that the sparky gave me and it only had codes until 51... great. So i jump on my phone and google said engine code and it turns out numero 52 is actually for the #1 Knock sensor. I looked around the knock sensor for the wire and gave it a tug and it was on its connector, tried to start it again and same problem. Now I'm crapping myself thinking this new motor is farked. I thought i might aswell try and disconnect and reconnect the knock sensor plug, turns out the plug wasnt sitting on its connector properly. Fire it up again after this and all was perfect! the loose plug was causing the engine to think it was knocking. Problem solved. :D So I gave it a wash, and drove it all afternoon and had the biggest cheesiest grin on my face lol Engine pulls hard compared to the bigport and just has so much more torque... motor is at another level + the sounds.. oh the sounds.... its just awesome! Now i just gotta put all that dash back in tomorrow and fix the bearing on the pulley, secure a few more things and make a plate for the ECU to sit in the footwell.... Onward to some pics! Skids all weekend?

IMo those tail lights look great, but each to their own. Still the car looks amazing, nice photos :)

define "off of public roads" ;) hahaha nahh were responsible* and thats why we use winton :) *sometimes

Sounds good, youve spread out the events really well see you guys in march :)

Alot of guys have run 15 or 16's and the widest width is 8" +20 to 25 offset. Will need camber to clear your guards though

I run with MRP coilovers, theyre awesome! have a look at mrpltd.co.nz + pricing isnt bad at all :)

Best feeling. But not as good as putting them in your car and having a hoon sesh :P

Weeeewww!!! Progress!! :dance: All those parts look very promising :yes:

Car looks as good as ever, you should be proud how it has progressed over the years, so clean! And your photo locations are just top notch! I must say those rear lights just don't do it for me on any of the AE100 sedans ive seen, they just remind me of POV spec aussie ones... have you ever thought of changing them to another option? just throwing a suggestion in :) Example of rear lights Have you found any new optional extras to put into the car? Must be hard to find something that you don't have now aye :P

OMGWTFBBQ??!!! That car is awesome!! I'm surprised at everything youve done to this car, its just mind blasting how you could even fit the boxer in there :o All the best in bringing it over here :)

BEAMS 3SGE or an F20C for N/A POWWA!!

You shouldnt need to jack it up with the stock 4x4 suspension that AE102's have lol I never did when i used to own one just crawl under on your back and youll be right! :) But yes, the jacking points you have are pretty much correct. Try looking for a service manual for the car at bursons, that should help you heaps :)

A few guys run 16x8 +20 and 15x8 +25. Youll need to roll your guards and then you should be right

Coilovers are better than lowering springs as you can adjust camber, shocks and ride height. You can get them for AE92's as a bolt in mod. I use mrp coilovers and theyre awesome! Try mrpltd.co.nz or twincam.org.au forums And if youre looking to buy new shocks and springs, youre looking at about the same price. If you wanted shocks and springs, Autobahn should be able to order King springs for you and Bursons can order KYB shocks HTH

Looks like you guys had a good group! Show looks great, ill have to come along to next years one :)

You should invest in a catch can. Shouldnt be anything thing to worry about :)

Long story short.... After giving him the 4AGE diagrams for both the 82 and 92 its taken him a day to get the engine running. Now its all just a matter of connecting up the rest of the accessories... Its amazing what you can do if you have the right diagrams! -_- can't say I'm too happy about it all, but in his defence usually he is tops

Sparky is an idiot. Was trying to wire up my motor to the 4AFE wiring diagram. Will talk/rage/scream/swear at him tomorrow and see if he can get it ready by end of next week... if not, I'm pulling it out and doing it myself. Moral of the story: DIY. don't bother getting someone to fix your car. RAAAAAAGGGGGGEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
