I too have seen this car. Looks fairly clean from memory..

http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp Use this calculator to compare current wheels offsetting to desired. Trial and error with different sizes until you get it sitting in your preferred position.

I've got a MAP sensor which was taken from a big port and has part number, '89421-12030'. Edit:

Welded diffs are annoying to begin with, but once you get used to driving with it, you learn 'how to drive' with it. You also need to find the right tyres for you as well. Some tyres chirp and hop more than others. Just get quality front runners and you'll be fine most of the time with a locker. Whining depends on how/who welded the diff I've noticed from experience.

Very clean AE71 mate and I love the R32, I wanna see more pics. :hmm:

The things you see in the above picture should secure the injectors between the head and rail tightly. Mine just turn/twist, they don't move up and down or anything like that. Edit: You should also have some 'spacer' things in between your rail.

I believe mostly Japanese imports, but like Stu has mentioned there has always been a Corolla out front.

I haven't had any personal experiences getting my car tuned at Status Tuning in Dandenong, but I haven't heard a single bad thing about them. I've gone in to talk to them about getting a few things done and they were really helpful.

Hey Dan and welcome to the forums. :dance: If the car is all straight or close to it, I'd personally do a full service before anything. Just the normal motor oil change with filter, flush of coolant along with the change of thermostat, gearbox oil if you're up for it and might as well do the diff oil. As for modifications to the car, I went with modifying my suspension first to give it a nicer, lower look. It needed a change of shocks anyway so thought why not.. It really depends what you intend on using this car for though. If you're just after a nice daily rider, a nice set of speakers and head unit would be up in the list of modifications whereas if you wanted to hit the track, you'd maybe go suspension first. Getting power out of an NA car will be tough without money. Have you considered a 4AGE conversion or do you just want to keep the standard 4K-C motor? Enjoy your stay. There's plenty of information around on this site. Cheers

:P Comparing to my meshies they're a little shit, but in general, they're an awesome set of wheels. Cheap with decent widths and offset. Yep, my exams didn't go too bad! Thought I did a little worse than the marks show, but I passed so I'll take it. :) You start uni again fairly early.. :bash: Not to rub it in or anything, but I don't head back until the 10th of August. hahaha! If I damage these wheels again... :no2: I will give up cars altogether and get into stamp collecting. And here's a few snaps of the car with meshies on again. Sorry for the blurry pics. That's all I ever do in this thread now. Take photos of parked cars... :dance:

Bahaha yeah, I'm thinking that at the moment. Alright, meshies are going back on tomorrow.

There's a mix in there. Pair of SSR Formula mesh, pair of Hoshino Mesh and a pair of SSR Reverse mesh. Yeah, you know him? I'm considering selling up these MAs... It's either get some better tyres up front or sell these off. Currently no cash for the first option so I'm considering the second. hahaha. Either that or just suck up the shitty understeery things they are.

Oh I forgot to post these pictures below up. They're on the first page, but I should post them here too. They were taken before we left for Winton's practice day a few weeks back. That's my mates T18 we've been working on the last few months. And here is a photo of one of my walls in my bedroom. :yes: Cheers :wink:

I took a few snaps of my new MA61s which was purchased a few nights back. The tyres on them are all random, but they have decent tread.. The front wheels are a little 'monster truck' like and the wheels look a little gay under my flared guards, but oh well. I should stop receiving those, 'why are your wheels protruding from the guards?' questions from the boys in blue. It must've been a rhetorical question every single time cause when I tried explaining offset to them, they gave me a 'wtf?' look and changed topics. :wink:

AE86 pedal box won't fit/work in an E7 chassis unless you modify it. T18 pedal boxes are a closer fit only needing a few holes drilled in/bolts moved. My 4AGE into KE70 conversion set me back $3k, that was everything needed to go 4K to 4AGE. A few bits and pieces I could have bought a little cheaper, but I needed my car on the road asap. Edit: All work was done by myself.

It has been a while... I've had the wheels repaired since the last post. There's still noticeable ripples, but I can't complain. I went to a few of Melbourne's best wheel repairers and quite a few of them turned me down. :sob: But in the end, they got repaired by Ajax in Moorabbin, $95. Time for pics, Also, who would've guessed.. I've decided to do a few things to my motor. I recently picked up another big port head from the wreckers, this time pretty much complete and I've already done a few things to it. Self port and polish as well as de-shrouding the combustion chamber. Plans are to finish off the port and polish work then give it a nice clean and shave a bit off then reinstall on my current motor. I'm still doing some research into how much the standard ECU can take compression wise. So far, 10.5:1 ratio on the standard ECU seems possible. To get to that compression ratio, I would need to mill ~40thou off this head and use the standard head gasket. New valve stem seals are on the way again, but this time for the new head so hopefully no more smoke! Will keep everyone updated. :jamie: Edit: Longer duration and larger lift cams are planned as well as a standalone ECU, but the current plans are to just increase compression for a little bit more power. Edit edit: I also forgot to mention I am now on the look out for a set of MA61 wheels :sob: I can't damage my wheels again, so let me know what you've got.

Ahaha damn that's low.. Wheels make or break a car.

Yeah, T18 boxes can be used with a 4A, just need to swap over bell housings and get a tail shaft to suit. What I don't understand is why the speedo would be out if it's an AE71 with an AE71 T50.. Fair enough if it was originally auto so the diff would change things, but I've got the same problem. :hmm: Took a T50 from an AE71 to put into my manual KE70 and the speedo is off by about 15% or so, slower. :yes:

Yeah, the wheels should just require a re-roll, but I've heard of it cracking while being rolled/hammered out. Fingers crossed it'll all work out right in the end though. Cheers mate. I hope the thread wasn't too boring of a read. :hmm: Plans at the moment are just to drive it really and replace things that need replacing. I can't tell you 100% though, cause next thing you know I might've just bought another set of wheels or something. :y: Engine wise, I don't think anything will be happening with it. The motor still blows smoke at times because of the valve stem seals. Replaced them but I don't know.. symptoms still point at the valve stem seals. And there seems to be some engine rattle noises coming after hitting the limiter for too long, I think it was from the limiter :( . Sorry if the above doesn't make sense to anyone, I've reread it and it seems understandable, but if it doesn't, I'm sorry, it's been a long day..

The guard looks very nice! :y: The tyre's on the right way, I remember first seeing the RE001s as well, was a little confused. :hmm:

Hit the ripple strip mate. They really need to make them a little lower. From a little researching/reading, the wheels should be right with a roll. Can't see any cracks or anything like that so far so that's a good sign. Will need to take another look once the tyre has come off. Friday the wheels will be going into a few shops for quotes. All exam studying until then. Hahaha I always bagged people out for using skid wheels. 'Why buy nice good quality wheels if you're not gonna make the most of their quality and where it matters?' If I had some cheap china wheels, I'm sure they would've cracked instead of just bend. Always 'looks' better when drifting with these wheels anyway, cause you know.. drifting is all about how the car looks. :P With the guard, I originally bent it out similar to what you did. Wasn't enough to clear the wheels unfortunately. :( Wheels rubbed higher up along the guard as well. I made the guard just clear the wheels while stationary, took it for a drive and it pulled the guard in all different directions. Sure.. No problems Leah. lol Hahaha yeah, shit happens. :y:

Damn... I don't think it can get any cleaner!

Yep, castor is currently maxed out to gain some back after installing 86 camber tops. My car's shell hit 200 thousand kilometers last week. Took a picture of the odometer when it happened, but it's on my phone and can't seem to get the blue tooth working to upload. Hrmm.. the 200 thou wasn't the only thing I hit recently.. Those are the 'new' 15x8 wheels by the way. ;)

240 and 260zs.

That looks very nice. Can you along with your dad do mine? ;)
