SLO-030

I know the 5K block that i have (dished piston) has no welsh plugs along the cam journals as well as the displacement (1486cc) cast just below the deck height. Also have a flat-ish psiton 5K (concave across top, about 3mm at the deepest) Will check what that has that's different.

Whats the difference in blocks? I've seen a few flat top 5K's around the place.

I just don't have the time to wait for money to go thru paypal/ebay and then more time for delivery. Off to rare spares today to get the moulding that goes in the windscreen rubber. Will stop in at a windscreens O'brien or something similar in search of a rear window seal. Had a look thru the CD at Clark rubber yesterday, had every rubber for the car except the rear window seal >| Bought all the bailey channel from clarks yesterday. needed a Total of about 10meters.......at $12.95/meter :glare: Will head back there to get my tailgate to body seal tomorrow. Once thats all done i gotta modify the gearbox crossmember to take the KE70 mount. And then i can begin to get the engine and gearbox back in the car :dance:

Got some more work done over the past few days. Carpet all in and trimmed 4K cleaned and painted Clean inside!! Windscreen seal on Windscreen installed and the old man seal of approval!

2nd Gen. Oh How I Miss My KE25. 3rd Gen for ease of finding parts (not anymore) compared to both earlier Generations.

Just about finished fitting the carpet. Bloody c**t of a job. Moulded carpet my Ass..... Anyways, Luc has been generous enough to lend me his new windscreen seal until i sort out the rest of the car and buy him a new one :y: Trying to find a rear windscreen seal without going OS for it :bash: Got the main section of the dash ready to go, has a crack below the glove box but it will do for now. Everythings there, just need to pull the finger out and get it done before the weeks end :S

So delete anything regarding to its existance?

LOL

Fark!!! Lucky Boy. VERY Lucky.

Whats happened Rod? Everythings GORNE!!

Man Orgy?

I know theres a minta biege Ke70 getting round with ROLA84 plate. Owner is a member here, mostly in-active.

That was the starter you got off me? Spose the high compression takes its toll after a while.

Route's gonna need a change. Came to this conclusion after driving it with Luc and Jono.

Yep. Brand new underlay and new carpet are in. Just need to put the steering box and drag link in so i can get the steering all working. RKE020/RKE055 is having a look at what we can sling into stock 30 struts as one of the wetleg inserts got ditched. Hoping to get the engine and gearbox together tomorrow afternoon. Got a 4 puk clutch here at home that i'll chuck on until funds are sufficient to get a EXEDY sports tuff like i had in the SLO-030.

Cheers Reed. Just a day. One sneeze and I had a tissue to match the car. Thanks Al and Mick. See how these commo wagon shocks fit the bill.

2.5in lowered sedan. You'd have measurements for stock yea?

Had the same on my 30 as a previous owner had swapped to manual and left the auto shifter switch tucked under the carpet. Wired the reverse lights into the gearbox and ran the starter circuit wires thru a switch. No crank without pushing said switch.

They ARE different in length. The top mount is the same for sedan and wagon. The wagon has a mount plate that bolts to a structual member under the boot. Said plate has the same style mount as sedand. If i knew what measurements i need id be right into it. Just trying to see what people think would work for a 2.5in lowered sedan.

Cheers Guys. Rear suspension should be ready to pick up tomorrow. Brand new leaves. Reversed eyes. Extra leaf. Half Traction Leaf. Lowered 20mm. Keep in mind I ordered KE30 leaves so that knocks 15mm off the ride height before lowering. As for shocks I'm still working out what i need. Wagons have a shock thats around 1" shorter than sedans. Lowered 35mm. Bringing the need for the shock to be about 60mm shorter than sedans (almost 2.5in). Opinions on what shock to use would be great. I was thinking something along the lines of sierras?

Going by the Kingpin inclination thread on TM. there's only 0.3deg difference in XT130 and KE70 kingpin angles. As far as i know, KE70 and KE55 struts are identical (apart from springs etc)

Great work Matt. The C4's are so compact hey. Can always upgrade to the C6 if the C4 fails.

You can ignore Justine Biebette Can't Ignore Rust. Both of them WILL get worse as time goes. I Still hate Rust!!

Well, the rebuilding begins. Engine crossmember, Lower Control Arms, Swaybar and Radius Rods all in. Just need some KE30 steering arms, so i can fit up some KE55 struts and get the front back on wheels. Power requirements will be left up to the trusty 4k Features 20thou over pistons, Small cam (unsure of the specs) and a 32/36 webber. Only done approx 10,000km since rebuild, I do 30,000km/yr just to work and back, so 10,000km is nothing :P To be backed up by an import K50. Thanks to Jason for supplying the Engine and gearbox. Also thanks to Jasons' dad for transporting the engine.
