How ya goin with this matey ?

Wow this car is sweet as mate high quality work on all levels. Can i ask where you got the radiator ?

Awesome dude you must have a lot of patience. What fuel tank and filler you using ?. We have R31 pintara tank in our SR 1200 datto wagon thinkin of goin the same in the Ke30 but not sure i wanna cut out the wheel well.

Nearly got CA18DE harness converted getting close to drop it all back in connect everything back up. Decided to setup R31 fuel tank where spare wheel well is/was. Few more mods then kick it over.

Yeah more sweet ke30 progress good to see. Just a quick question. Did you modify the mounts on the cross member or did you mod the mounts on the motor for SR ? The cross member appears to still be factory or at least have factory mounts. Keep up the excellent work mate very inspiring. Love me 30's

Yeah have to agree to an extent ebay sellers can be dicey with things at times. The in/out are on the same side as a CA radiator just will possibly depend on where i mount the radiator. We could mount it to one side but that always looks dodgey in my view. Thanks for the tip on toymods to. Cheers Andrew

Thanks mate appreciate it, Any other tips. We are looking at these or something along these lines. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140513565026&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1537wt_1139

Just wondering what radiator members have used in CA ke30/55 ?? Anything bolt in or near to ?. We are looking on ebay at AE series ones some look usable.

Wow man this car is awesome. Very inspiring.

Thanks peoples just gotta figure out what radiator is easiest and best fit. Also after a Ca18de manual engine loom.

Hi Guys And Gals I'm Andy (NewAgeDinosaur) Just thought i would post some pics of my Ke30 CA project and the Ke55 mock up car. The red Ke30 is solid as a rock i could only find one bit of rust in it the size of a 5 cent piece. Has a 4k and 5 speed in it and really it just needs a good clean up new front carpet and 2 new tyres then rego it. Someone gave it to me for helping him get his ke55 to start. Once i have mocked up all the CA setup in the old rusty ke55 will transfer it to the Ke30. Am going Ca18DE to start with while rebuilding the CA18DET. Oh and my 2 dogs love cars and cameras. Work so far mount engine and modded the pedal box and pedal to make the hydraulic clutch setup. Have a 200b wagon tail shaft from borg warner diff that fits both ends just need to get a mate to shorten it about 60mm. Using a series 3 bluebird 5 speed box off a CA20 the shifter comes up just in front of the rail that goes right across that the seats mount to.

This thing is one sweet rolla. Is that the standard radiator i see ?

O.k to start this is a 16 valve 4AGE in an 87 model AE82 hatchback. Anyone know if there's a simple reason why my motor is blowing smoke seems to mainly be grey ? The car has plenty of power actually goes real well. Only thing is it does idle inconsistently it jumps up and down. Also the tappet cover gaskets are leaking but i wouldnt think that was the cause as it mainly seems to be burning off at the extractors. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.

We are just wondering what options we have in the way of rear wheel drive toyota boxes we can put behind a 4A-GE twin cam motor ?. We are considering using the motor for a conversion in a Datsun 1200 coupe.
