MHmills (jake) is down for two - PAID by paypal TE27 (warren) is down for one too - PAID by bank transfer

Sounds like a great price for the custom headers!!! Could any gains be made coating the chambers and exhaust ports with heat proof coatings and then going higher compression?

after years of that I'm over that now. Prefer the jdm look but also functionality.

After chatting with some two piece bigger duck bill type we decided on the smaller ones after hearing of their ease of hitting speedhumps, steep driveways and gutters when parking front first at shop carparks. Hence quite a few sell them partly damaged. When lowered these ones are the safest and still compliment the car.

Has to be peeps in Victoria only

LRS what will the headers cost without the HPC? Is the AE71 able to be converted to a 2 door by just changing the centre pillars and doors or are the 2 door donor or the roofs different?

Just so you guys know there is a group buy on this site for VIC the more he gets the lower the price, so far 33 down to 26 plus freight of about 15 dollars if more than 10 people. We have 7 so far and if anyone is interested PM me as I'm getting one too. Its better for lowered cars specially over speedhumps and steep driveways still keeping that JDM look. http://datsun1200.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=53083&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=0 Pics http://datsun1200.com/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=53083&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&type=&mode=0&start=10 Theres no money to be made just savings on postage and the seller has lowered price from 33 to 26 dollars etc. PM me and I'm in northern suburbs of melbourne for pickup.

Does someone know what comp height and pin size are on the stock pistons? There is no need to go forged pistons for 6500rpm, lighter is better where pistons are concerned and some latest tech custom cast pistons are quite good and even more forgiving than forged in everyday starts ups. I also know of people running 25mm compression height cast pistons with longer forged rods with good success. There are ka24e pistons which have 34mm pin height and can be taken down to 31mm inc custom valve recesses and avail from 89mm up. Maybe the Toyota ones though have even shorter comp height?

Reason I asked about the 86mm 1AZ is because 86mm is quite a good stroke for torque also. 2.1 litres is a nice capacity too for a vf34 or disco potato. However the 2.4 sounds like a perfect NA setup also for the street with beefy mass on its performance curve. Ive read about a Guru on 300hp B16 NA setups that he find 1.543 rod stroke ratio still a good compromise. It supposedly allows more compression by having the piston move away faster at the top, improving suck/swirl/mix less detonation as it moves fast away from flame front. The force of angularity on walls is minimised with todays lighter pistons that are friction coated and thinner rings then piston life is increased as they spend critically less time or combustion forces. Suzuki used the same principal in its infamous G13B road engine compared to its bike engines. Honda has been doing it since the EB1 a magical little engine with what the FC20 has now. The all alloy gen 1 honda civic EB1 engine had a ladder brace, 300g steel rods, small bore long stroke & high rpm plus other features almost 40 years ago etc. If the Ae86 becomes available Id prefer the AZ over the heavier, less flowing subey Boxer.

18 grams is nothing really and for 370 dollars they are totally worth it. That pick of the factory 2az rods shows some skimping on mass which seems to be common practice these days from japanese brands. 370 beats 3 grand for Ti rods! any idea if the 1az crank fits the 2az?

I-beams are better than H-beams if you spend the extra 20% for A/M rods. Arent the factory items worth prepping for higher NA hp? Sorry Sam, got a block on my scone when I read L series for the MZR mazda engine as I consider the L series a datsun/nissan original. Its actually the MZR type engine but labeled as an L series. Would the 1AZ-FSE 86mm crank fit into the 2AZ block for a 2.116?

I prefer the 2az over the SR anyday for its weight and NA potential as summarised by lilredspirit right on the buzzer. The CA18 has the same no skirt design with the same main girdle or main bearing ladder brace for over 800hp without issues. The bottom end could easily take longer ARP main bolts and a laser cut 1.5cm chro moly plate main bearing ladder brace/girdle with a a custom made alloy sump with quality alloy plate and good tig welder itll be much cheaper than CNC and as reliable. A mob in Adel specialize in very affordable custom ally sumps. I love the idea of this engine in rwd equally to the Mazda Z series and post 2007 revised QR25DE fitted with SR20 crank and custom rods. All weight about the same and can produce over 200hp with small mods.

Curious how the HT lead grounded from the coil or the cap? Id gather the coilpack or dizzie internal blackbox? Anyone ever adapted another dizzie to a K? it seems the K electronic is hard to get. I heard the nissan pulsar e15 one can be made to work?

can any gearbox guru confirm?

I actually thought toyota made their own 4 speed mechanical activated autos with aisin warner The liteace km20 or 1991 with 5k supposedly has a G40 transmission? Therefore I could use a g52 5 speed from a Hiace as far as I can find for auto I thought I could use the A43D??? or from the townace 85 model but don't know the code it had a 2y motor. reason I think the g40 is in atm & can fit g52 is due to this wiki text...

Lovely ride go for the jdm like the 1200 and have a very tasty ute get some starsharks or similar from otomoto You have toyotas best lil ute ever! congrats

I would like to have a 7k motor one day and just wondering which gearbox I could use to upgrade to a 5 speed when I go 7k or if anyone knows of a full mechanical 4 speed auto that could bolt up to the 7k? regards, D

Sorry bit of a dreamer there. However is it possible with extra funds to engineer in S.A and register there? or its only suitable for a club permit car?

engineered?

curly whats in your water :lolcry: Everyone would love to run their car on water but until someone can and survive the rockerfelllas murdering blacksuits , then it will always be a dream. The richest families control the next richest and so on and on until there is you and me = consumer We are the best farm animals for the rich and corrupt on this planet. Back to electric cars check this out..... perfect considring 75 per cent of the developed world only travel less than 50klms per day. http://www.worldclassexotics.com/Electriccarconv.htm for 65k us you can have an exotic car that never needs a 40k engine rebuild :lol: and when you are tired of the body you can change it to something else. :y:

Its just time that the most powerful car company in the world offered us cheap EVs before nissan, subaru and mitsubishi do. Say something lesser than the tesla with halve the range and a third of the price. They can do it without the Teslas aluminium, expensive BMS (battery management system) & a choice of safe / stable Lithium nano phosphate or longlasting Zebra molten salt battery. I would buy a new toyota when this happens . For now Ill continue with LPG and old Rollas as they are more fun. I think this new corolla is bad vw golf like/yaris mutation and will only see failure which is way due to Toyota for not evolving into what it should and advertises. Even if it loses sales due to this model, it wont hurt/nudge them financially. perhaps they can wake up and offer us a real solution rather than a complicated machine that still runs on dirty fossil fuels. Until its electric all the way for Toyota my whole family are keeping our old Yotas on LPG and cheap no name brand type oils. It will have to happen as its a matter of avoiding the inevitable. Even with these cheap oils Yotas run just fine unlike many other makes. :lolcry:

Imagine never servicing your engine of gearbox ever again? and having the torque of 2 v8s at any rev range? A super go cart that rips away at 20 cents per 100klms? We need a 150klm range quick recharging Electric (large Remote control Car) for under 25k. Electric motors and batteries are getting cheaper its time to screw the oil companies now and Toyota can do it.
