ke704agte

yeah ok ill try that, thanks guys. I'm getting a 1 piece tailshaft made up. I have to set the angle first, then get a measurement for them to make it to. I only get one chance at this

my r31diff in my ke70 is vibrating a bit when driving. I'm thinking its the diff pinion angle so i have bought some adjustable trailing arms to fix this. Anyone know what angle to set it at? and how to get it to that exact angle?

wondering if anyone has made adjustable rear trailing arms before, and how to do it? Or if anyone has some for sale

anybody?

I have a 4agze with a gt28 turbo, supra box, upgraded diff (r31 with lsd) etc... in my ke70 It has a brand new Exedy heavy duty clutch which i though would hold up. But if i drop the clutch to spin the wheels, it slips sometimes. I want to try drift this car or take it to the track. Any ideas on what to do now? Also i think the clutch and flywheel is the smaller 4age size- (the clutch plate is 200mm diameter) I think the 4agze clutch diameter is wider??

Do any of you guys have photos of the under diff exhaust system?

hey, how did you go with under the diff system? My exhaust hits on my ke70 which is lowered.

Just standard master cylinder, and ive also got s13 front brakes up front. All works fine in my opinion

you are going to struggle to find a tarago diff ( i only found 1 in brisbane at the wreckers), and they will expensive. i think you should go for a r31 diff because they are cheap, strong, have factory lsd and aftermarket options, disc brakes, and 4x114.3 stud pattern. ratios are 3.89, and you can also get 4.11

i recently did the r31 conversion myself (check out my content/topics for info) I'm currently trying to fit s13 front hubs/brakes with coilovers in my ke70. How did you find the track with the xt130 LCA's you used? how much longer were they?

dam thats what i thought. guess ill have to fork out the 700 dollars then. Do i have to change or modify anything to make it fit? other than the clutch plate.

Need to upgrade the T50 gearbox and replace with w series behind a 4agte anyone know if this can be done without buying an aftermarket 4a to w bellhousing???? ($695 on ebay) maybe by modifying another bell housing???? or another stong box to use?? any help would be appreciated

post updated go have a read in the kexx information section

Pretty sure they are all disc brake rear end. More info: -Skylines Ratios: Manual: 3.7 and Auto: 3.89 (i used the auto) -Another thing to note is if you want the lsd: these only came out in the R31 silhouette and GTS models- :LSD was factory fitted to other models but not a standard fitted option. Reference: http://motamota.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?topic=81543.0 Oh and also i forgot to mention the brake lines. If you get the 2nd hand diff without the brakeline 3way t-piece its ok you can use your ke70 one. nissan have a ball type solid line while toyota have a flared type, it still works despite this. The threads are the same also.

yeah exactly why i thought i'd give it a go myself. And besides i don't think t series diffs could handle a 4agte-what do you think?

Thanks mate, yeah i went for a drive in it today. It wines a little but nothing that noticable. Maybe mine is quiet because the centre is reconditioned?? Unless diff whine comes from the bearings?? The car feels a lot more rigid and has more traction (probably due to the bigger wider wheels that are on the rear with new tires).

My 4agte Ke70 recently blew up its 2nd standard diff. So i decided to do a conversion I Recently completed my diff conversion in my ke70. R31 skyline lsd disc brake diff. After much research i found that everyone was either taking both diffs to an engineering shop to get the mounts changed over, or making up a jig. Both options are quite expensive/time consuming. Being low on cash i did the conversion a cheaper way and wanted to tell others- (this is the reason for this post). I first marked a centre line on both diffs (went between the upper trailing arms on the ke, and between the sway bar mounts on the r31 to work it out). Then marked a reference line along the diff (to get the right angle). Then took measurements for the upper trailing arms on the ke. Cut the mounts off the r31 (except the sway bar mounts, coz i will be using the r31 sway bar, as the ke one wont fit). Then welded the ke upper trailing arm mounts onto the r31 using the measurements. These were the only two mounts i measured. For the rest of the mounts to line up, i put the diff back in the car and bolted it in with the two welded mounts. Then i put the spring seat on the diff with the spring on top, then lowered the floor jack until the spring found its place. For the lower trailing arm mounts i bolted them onto the arms of the car, then bolt the shocks on as well. The mount should now find its place. So i am actually using the car as the jig! Same deal for the panhard rod- but drop the car off the jack so the ride hight is correct. Then check that the diff is centered (this also eliminates the need for an adjustable rod). When all looks good tack weld everything. Then remove from car and do fin al weld. The hand brake cables from the ke were used by cutting the retainer thing off (it flares out to hold the cable secure). Slide it through the r31 cable holder and weld the end of the cable to the lever (see photo). I then cut another slot for the return spring to sit in. The driveshaft was then too long- so it had to be shortened (i did this myself) but will pay someone to balnce it. (place at brendale quoted $245 to shorten and balance). The diff pinion flange from your ke can be swapped over to the r31 because they are both borgwarner diffs (saves drilling new holes). The r31 stud pattern is 4x114.3 (same as ke70) but the thread is different. So you'll have to buy new wheel nuts ($1.50each) R31: 12x1.25 Ke70: 12x1.5 Eveything worked out well. I took the centre to a diff shop and paid $250 to get the lsd shimmed up. The wheels just fit under the rolled guards with 215/40/16 tires (without shortening the diff either) The 4agte wont be able to break this one.
