  1. if you are on your P's i don't think you will have much luck "legally" driving a converted vehicle, unless you A: Don't mod plate it and watch how fast your insurance company gets out of any claims you make, not to mention CTP if you accidently hit someone, you could literally get suied for millions, or B put a 4age in on carbs instead of EFI, then you can go to the transport office and apply to change the engine number from 4axxx to 4axxx, which I have herd works in some states and not others.
  2. yah i think this was cmerlin, has been sold a few times but an awesome car none the less. actually it suddenly became awesome as soon as it lost the hideous rims it used to have lol, only suggesting is maybe use a cleaner looking rwd cooling system, I think samQ has some rwd 20v cooling parts to make it looks alot nicer. but I'm a bit hypocriticaly my cooling system looks like dogs balls haha.
  3. looks amazing with those windows :y: show us the under car porn.
  4. cheers mate, fuel system has been changed since then, I have investigated every type of fuel system that would suit this car and it seems I need a custom tank made with an intank pump, because the pano fuel tanks are useless and extremly shallow, but can't afford at the moment, right I converted it back to just the bosche 070 staight from the tank, noisy and surges but I can't do much about it. There are other people with the same car on here that just run the bosche pump aswell. Update: Fixed car, it's running A1 now, also got the injectors cleaned for shits n gigles and the car is now officially scary. must drive with care :P
  5. yah been a bit slow been pretty bussy latly thanks mate, re-did the fuel system still got a few issues I gotta fix, this might be up for sale in the future, need a more suitable car this thing is soooo much fun to drive, its so hard to get rid of.
  6. great for something different, realistically your probably going to be putting in as much effort and money as putting a ca18det in.
  7. my smallport has over 200xxx on it and it dyno'd 112.8hp on open headers with absolutely no mods but the ems computer. i would expect a smallport 7age to make at least 130hp, I guess a good ecu helps.
  8. haha thanks guys, nah wont need to get a workshop to do it, just wanted to know best way to approach it seeing I have no fluid in the back and fluid in the front, and me understanding how it actaully flows haha. cheers guys
  9. hi all, this is a pretty basic one, just upgraded the diff in my ke70 and was wondering how the best way to bleed the brakes would be, the brake lines hooked up at the back on the diff but no fluid in them, so should I pump the pedal a tonne of times and try to get fluid into the line on the diff or should I just do the usual routine of pump pedal, loosen , pump pedal, will that eventually get fluid to the back. Also going to change the brake master while I'm bleeding brakes, A mate that doesn't really know ke70's said that there will probably be like 4 or 5 places (other than at wheels) in the brake system that I will have to bleed, sounds a little strange to me? thanks in advance.
  10. progress, diff mounts are on, old mounts cut off and test fit seems to be good. (the orange tarp was because I was too lazy to clean up diff oil on the floor)
  11. so the old mounts have been cut off, and the new fabricated mounts have been tacked into place. It was waaayyy easier than I expected. A mate that is experienced doing it helped me out and all we had to do was find the centre point of housing (width wise) and measure from side to side a few things and just tacked it into place, then it's off to get tig welded. If you have the righr cutting disc you can grind off the old mounts like butter.
  12. if it's from AE92 you will need to cut and shut the intake manifold or get a rwd intake manifold with an adapter plate. you will also need to install a spigpot bearing into the crank, the wiring loom will have to be heavily modified as if is for fwd instead of rwd (you could just pay someone to do this if your not confident). You will need to source rwd engine mounts from an ae71 or ae86, then everything else in this engine conversion is straight foward, you will need a pedal box from an ae71/ae86 aswell. it's all writen in the post on the front page.
  13. sweet, thanks for the info, gathered I'd have to get different u-bolts. just can't wait to get it going again because my temporary car chugs the fuel, spent $63 on fuel in 5 days too and from work, need to get back to the 1.6 litre ftw.
  14. It's been a while since I've update, Have been having all sorts of engine problems, have a new question in general mechanical section each week to try and fix them as I am still learning alot and my mechanic mates help me with everything. been having pcv issues that just don't make sense and leave mechanics scratching their head but its fixed now motor NEVER blows smoke and always runs great, fixed fuel delivery issues, fuel pumps dieing etc. so anyway engine is always running great when it is running. decided to upgrade the diff to a T series :) also in the near futur I'm ugrading the fuel system so that I can get rid of the surge tank and lift pump and go to a in-tank fuel pump. The fuel smell in the car is too dangerous to inhale, I will also need to weld up the holes I drilled in the rear of the car for the fuel lines. pulled old stocko diff out pic from my phone of the new mounts the new T-18 diff to go in, will require fair bit of modification, the coil spring stuff will have to be cut off new and old diff JDM AE86 tailshaft, hoping it will work not sure. I have 22 spline T-50 going to a t series so it SHOULD be perfect also go my hands on a some AE86 gear for up front, struts, springs, JDM vented and slotted rotors, braided brake lines everyone is going to think I'm mad but I have ultra low pedders springs or brand new king springs at stock 86 height, going to go with the stockies for now, It suits me better to have a higher car, although I want to lower it so much because it would look awesome.
