Robbo!

ill try that mate but everything was working before i swapped the clusters over

yesterday i took a trip to the wreckers in bundaberg and after scrounging around i came home with a few things. the cluster i grabbed however I'm having a few problems with. everything works except for the lights behind the gauges that come on with the parkers. i tried cleaning the contacts at the back where the harness plugs in, putting the bulbs from the other cluster in and still nothing. any ideas?

i thought id throw mine up here after being under the house getting a rebuild and respray over the past 18 months. started out like this.. and 18 months and 1 or 2 thousand dollars later... inspiration for this car was from biggos green machine lol

Bump anyone wanna help me out?

hey, after reading the topic in the knowledge base on how to install an aftermarket tacho to a ke70, i still don't know what to do. On the back of the tacho there are 3 wires, black, red and green and there are 2 other wires, orange and black that go to a little bulb in the back of the tacho, could someone give me a simple diagram i can follow to wire all this up. Also, the guy i bought the car off, did all wiring himself so the car is a mess. the car will not start without the Altmeter hooked up. Can anyone hook me up with a simplified electirical diagram for a standard ke70. I had a look at the electrical diagram in the gregorys service manual and made no sense to me. thanks a heap in advance

yeh possibly but I'm still working on getting twin carbs for it and a cam and stuff so in the mean time ill want good compression so back to my original question, would the valves hit the pistons now that i put the 4k flat tops in or cause any problems?

the guy i bought it off said the engine block in the boot (4k) he said the cylinders were stuffed but i don't know know what he means by that? thats y i was planning on getting it bored out first but getting the funds is a different story

wen i bought my Ke70 in 2006 it came with a 4k block in the boot however the motor in the engine bay is a 4k-u with the dished pistons. ill be keeping one of the blocks and getting bored out etc. anyway my question is would it be possible to put the flat top pistons in the 4k-u block for better compression or would they hit the valves or cause any problems? EDIT: i will be putting the original 4k head back on aswell

haha this is my time to shine. Benny Benassi brooklyn bounce Ministry is good but its most club stuff Nick Skitz (Sydney guy) put out series called Skitzmix which is all DJ club doof doof stuff. some of them are pretty bassy and catchy Chemical brothers are good especially "Bass test" DJ Tiesto there are plenty more good doof doof music out there but that was just a squiz at my albums of about 400 lol. I have a cd of all bass testers which is pure bass. PM me if u want a copy and ill send ya a link.

I got my L's second go, i failed my learners because i ticked yes on the "are you allowed to exceed the speed limit while overtaking". its my parents bad example haha. got my P's first go about 4 months ago with a perfect score and yet to have a crash or speeding ticket :(

Hey guys, sorry about the very long dry spell. had money issues with new jobs and my girlfriend takes a lot of my time up but this is what ive got done while shes at tafe during the week. The whole car is now primed including a very dodgy engine bay prime. i don't have all the right tools and i have no skills in car respraying but I'm learning and i do with what i can. New pics Any tips for doing the engine bay without having to remove a lot of crap? i don't have the tools, skills or knowledge to rip the whole engine bay apart

nice build up mate. keep up the good work. I'm not a big fan of pink but those dash lights look sick as

i was cruising the forums a while back and found gillys Project Ke70 and wondered what rims are these in the pics below and where could i get me some of them? thanks a heap in advance

@ SBox, yes those little yellow things on the vac lines were clips to hold them together. ok instead of taking a heap of pictures i did a quick video and followed the wires to give you a better idea

sorry the pics aint so great. batteries were nearly dead and had to take em quick

alrite sorry about the very late reply. school started again and ive had other commitments pop up. anyway i took some pics of the altmeter. this is very strange. the car will not start without the altmeter hooked up ;) Dad and i ripped the altmeter out and all the cords and we tried to start it but it wouldnt start even tho it was running fine before we took it all out. i took some pics

ok as some people may know i have a little ke70 in the progress of painting.... my friend who is an apprentice mechanic came over to check my progress and when we looked in the engine bay he said "holy s**t!!!" and here i was thinking " what? its just a 4kc???" so anyway he looked around a bit longer in the engine bay and we found wires going to no where which i already knew. i am hoping the good people here on rollaclub could help me figure out what wires i don't need thanks to the d**khead who owned it previously

oh ok thanks heaps for ur help medicine man. i will post more pics up soon.

oh ok thanks man. ill keep a look out I'm still in the progress of painting it haha. my friend said if i replace the valve springs i could reach higher revs? its a pretty dodgy source but I'm just following up lol

Ok sweet as man thanks. what specifications for the dellortos do i need? ive heard all this "down draft", "side draft" stuff and its confusing haha and someone said 32/36? what does that refer to? oh sweet so repco could maybe order it in? btw how how much would i be lookin at for the manifold, linkages etc?

@ Medican man haha yeh when i saw it, me and dad looked at it and started laughin lol. also, ive seen ur vids and looked at what youve done with ur Ke70, where did u get ur twin carbies and all that from? I'm very interested @ radrollaz umm yeh the body is actually pretty good compared to some cars its age. except the boot was riddled with rust and bog lol but hopefully i should get it lookin all nice and schmick @ 13RENDAN 88 lol thank u someone finally agrees with me haha no it was all there when i bought it, everything was there, even had a little fan on the parcel shelf haha. i ripped out the interior myself so i could spray the interior and there was another reason but i couldnt remember lol

lol yeh thanks they were there when i bought it. i got the whole interior our except for the aircon/heater. i can't be bothered to put the aircon back in so ill just leave it in there haha. well basically i want to respray it, and make it look fairly good to drive around the city until i get another car then i was thinking maybe track car? what are your thoughts? any hints or tips?

First of all id like to introduce myself, I'm Robert Davies, I'm 17 in 2 weeks and about 3 months ago i bought myself a 1983 Late model Ke70. It needed a good clean up and a good tune so i ended up scoring it for $500. I decided it being my first car, i should probly make it look good for its age. i don't have any before pics of the car unfortunetly :drgrim: The previous owner was a retired auto electrician and i must admit he wasnt very good. here is a picture of the dash and his wiring up custom guages. i decided i should also paint it and probably do it up for future racing possibly a track car. So ive stripped it ready for sanding..... this is my progress so far....
