The only reason we have gone for a hydro hand brake is for hillclimb And motor or gym khana.

 

And the shock mounts on the diff have very beefy. But its all good feed back thanks mate.

 

I havent even thought about the seem welding or cage yet thats a little way away

Hey mate nice work what engine mounts did you use? Custom? Or off another car

[Time Attack Ae71]

So finally some stuff arrived in the post I received new stronger mounts for the skyline diff and I got some second hand xyz coilovers and have converted the rear to coilover rear instead of seperate springs and shocks the new steering wheels arrived and hydro hand brake. So tomorrow the last few welds will be done on the diff then to get a new adjustable 4 links. Next will be rebuilding the skyline brakes unless some one can help me with a better brake upgrade for the rear after the rear brakes are done the front suspension and brakes will be the next upgrade.

 

 

Also the 7mgte is a no go lol. I'm going to go with a 4 cylinder but not sure what one 4age, 4agze, ca, sr, 3sge or t

 

Cheers

So today I removed the spare tyre holder and put a new sheet of steel in there ready for the boot mounted radiator and fuel cell and also cut more of the body away so the rear diffuser can fit in

I chucked the fender back on the car and I thought lol that looks random as f*#k but any way it will look cool once its much lower and bigger rims ....... I hope lol

Hey my brother in law and my self had a spare day so we knocked most of the tar out of the interior with dry ice and a mallet and started stripping the r31 axel down waiting on our new mounts to be welded up and we also started on flareing the front gaurds out

[Time Attack Ae71]

Hey thanks for that all feed back is welcomed.

 

 

Wouldnt a 4age still be 2 cylinders infront of the steering rack ?

 

And hey if it doesnt work it will become a drag car but its worth a shot lol

[Time Attack Ae71]

Hey all thought I would introduce my self since I have been lurking on here for a few days

 

So I'm building a 1984 AE71 in to a time attack / hillclimb car.

 

So to start it off i brougnt this car of a lady for $600 and then the stripping started

The rear axel was ripped out and sold and a bigger r31 axel and diff purchesed which atm in still lining the mounts up and re welding the mounts on.

 

I then sold the engine and I have a 7mgte in my garage that I'm rebuilding with a forged bottum end better head gasket and new tourqe setting for the head bolts. I will be converting the car to ae86 coilovers all round better r31 brakes on the rear and bigger 86 brakes on the front.

 

The first plan is to get the engine in the car and running I will need to change the sump to a 5m sump and oil pick up then upping the boost and my plan with some head work is to obtain 400kws

 

Still not sure on what gear box I will be useing but I'm open to suggestions?

 

This is all I have for now

 

Talk soon
