  1. Gave the J-port a miss, above reasons were alot to do with it, mate talked alot of sense into me

    the next purchase with be either a fc or fd front cut, will save alot of time finding all the parts i need

    and i can sell off the extra bits i won't use, next thing after that is finding a suitable diff

    most likley hilux don't want a r31 they are ratshit, and 9" might be over kill for a car that

    will probably do 11's

  2. So this isn't a daily then?

    You know I love rotors but I'd never have a J-port for anything but a track or weekend only fun car.

     

    Think of it as a road car with a MASSIVE cam shaft in it.

     

    You do know what a J port is? There's other issues about them that make them nearly a race only motor..... like blocking up and grinding out water jackets.

     

    Yeah it's not really a daily mate, my work is only 5 minutes away and i use an old sv21 to get to work.

    I was looking at bridgeys and that but i this one is smack on the dollar and its a fresh motor, i know they

    are a fairly aggressive port and are pretty much the biggest you can go before a PP and yeah i understand

    about the water jackets etc, i have to find out who built the motor etc first...

  3. Thanks guys!

     

    Luke, You've hit the nail on the head there mate, i've been in plenty of cars in my time but nothing turns my head

    or makes me smile more than a ported rotor on idle, or giving a 13bt a bootful!!

     

    Just finished cleaning the t50 for the new owner, it came up pretty good but i am covered head to toe in grime and shit

    and i am drenched from the pressure washer, only 3 more hours of work to go!!

     

    If i can i might try and buy an early first gen rx7 and pull all the running gear out for the KE, if i have the heart to

    pull one apart haha.

  4. well I'm from shellharbour and i'd love to go for a cruise when i find a gearbox for the 55

     

    Depending on wether or not my motor sells i'll have a gearbox available mate, in shellharbour too. :blush:

    Convince shaun to buy it haha

  5. Lol settle guys, it was a joke, i put ls1's, 1/2jz, 13bt in the same leauge

    all tough as nuts, i was brought up around v8's old man had a xe 351 cam etc

    blokes that worked for him had xy falcons, xa coupes, monaro's etc

     

    Used to be my cup of tea but not anymore, the tonner should get moving with that baby! This one is one of my favs

    Back on topic now! :blush:

  6. HAHA! Nothing's been sold yet !! lol, We will wait and see what happens!

    Although i will still go ahead prepping the rest of the car, fuel system, pedal box,

    Waiting to hear from you on that front Grille when you get a chance,

    Haven't had too many inquiries about the motor so it looks pretty safe for the time

    being, might ring my mate and see if he's got enough time to come around

    and finally sort out the engine mounts!!

  7. Sad to hear you wanna bin the 4a...

    What water gear you running?

    I might be interested to grab that stuff off ya if it's RWD.

     

    Cheers dude.

     

    I was going to source something from Craig at Just JDM, I think he had RWD setups

    if not i was going to do similar to Cuzzo and convert a FWD one, still works the same :P

     

    It is a shame but i am a rotor man at heart and if it doesn't sell i'm still going to

    put the 4AGE in the car and i'm sure i'll be happy with it.

     

    Taz, I know, worst thing i ever did was sell my tidy Series 4, i miss finishing work

    and looking forward to a drive home in the beast!!

    I'm sure a standard s4/5 motor with a hi-flow will make me poo pants in the little rolla.

  8. Cheers, everyone hates the interior, thats probably why i haven't changed it yet...LOL

     

    ominous:- implies having a menacing, alarming character foreshadowing evil or disaster....This is true to a T

     

    Yeah the L plates are on it because i'm on my Learners for another few months, lost my licence for 14years due to street drags...Next will be P plates...LOL

     

    Must have been hooking!!

  9. Thanks dude, i don't think i did get the PM? lol

    I just texted my mate at the brake place waiting to hear back from him, i'll keep you posted!

     

    Got done the day before my birthday 58 in a 40 zone, wasn't aware of the time and they got me in my work truck

    on Friday afternoon, $252 and 4 points, ARGGGGGH!!!!

     

    On a good note, New things!!
