  1. Child Seats In Ke10??

    in KExx Corolla Discussion

    Posted

    Should be fine with appropriate restraint points fitted. A mate just had points professionally fitted to his hq and his wifes fc.

    The guy he used is melb based.

     

    Thanks, the only thing I wasn't really sure on was because they don't come with seatbelts standard it might be a problem.

    Looking good mate keep the pics/vids coming!

    I'm still not sure which path I'm going to go with mine. I really don't want to loose any handling going from the SR to the RB but I guess I won't really know the different unless I actually do it..

    Is that manifold high or low mount? Do you think you will have any clearance issues hitting the strut tower etc.?

    Thanks for the info mate, I was expecting the manual shifter would sit a whole lot further back than that. I've attached a pic of where mine was midway through the build with a sr20 box/engine. Do you think an RB20/25 engine/box would be futher back or about the same?

    I ended up turning my shifter around aswell and where it currently sits is no problem at all but any futher back and it will probably foul on the handbrake.

    Any pics of the firewall before the engine went in? I'm considering going from a sr20 to a rb20/25 but I'm not sure where the shifter will sit..

    Any ideas? Did you dummy fit a manual box by any chance haha?

    it is registered..... as a stock rolla.....

     

    basic rundown. its got an rb30e+t manual. high mount turbo. trans tunnel was hacked, custom gearshifter made up to bring it to near stock position, new trans tunnel riveted/welded in. r31 diff, custom adj panhard rod. thats what i got off the top of my head.

     

    he towed a patrol with it, happily chugged up hills in third.

     

    Any more info on the custom gearshifter to bring it back to stock position? How much further back does the shifter hole actually sit?

     

    i think he was asking about the blue one pictured

     

    there is a link to its build thread here:

    I tryed that link but it doesn't work? Even after registering?

    the blue one pictured belongs to the owner of garage 7 in mt barker.

     

    the firewall hasnt been cut, but the trans tunnel was a complete hack away, built a new one. lol.

     

    also that particular corolla has towed a patrol no issues.

     

    Any more pics/info on it? Registered?

    hey mate, is that a silvia cross member redrilled to fit or did you cut and re-weld mounts onto the ke crossmember?

    Was there much tunnel work needed to be done?

    also with the gear stick, i thought it had to be re-cut abit further back?

     

    I'm about to tackle a sr conversion in my ke70 so info would be great.

     

    cheers

     

    Na I'm still using the ke70 crossmember with the old mounts grinded off and new ones made up from scratch. But I have heard of people using a s13/180sx crossmember aswell.

    Tunnel needed a bit of bashing but if I was to do this again I would cut and extend the firewall/tunnel to make it easier for gearbox/clutch changes.

     

    The gearstick does sit a bit back from where it used to be but I reversed the shifter which gives it a bit more room. Only just clears the handbrake where it's at now but it's no worry to me really.

    Any more questions feel free to ask :dance:

    Ahh ok thanks for clearing that up. With my ke70 I had a SR20 engine and gearbox, aswell a hilux diff fitted. Took the car to get inspected, got my mod plate then roady then staight to transport depo to get it registered. All they did was come out and check the engine/vin numbers then got a copy of the mod plate papers and that was it.

     

    This is probably a bit off-topic, but what engines are legal to drop into a KE10 in Qld atm? I'm looking at getting one and swapping all my gear into it but it's looking like that isn't going to work for me now..

     

    CA18DET?

    There is a guy in NSW that drives a SR20DET (Not 100% sure on the turbo) KE11.. He is on here apparently.. according to his RC stickers..

     

    What are NSW's laws with engie conversion? Probably a bit different to ours I'm guessing?

     

     

    ke20 is 760kg. doing engine conversions really adds weight to it though.

     

    When measuring the weight of the car to determine if it's legal or not, do they go from the original factory weight or can they actually put the car on a weigh bridge after the engine is in etc.?
