Sorry got stock 5k with 32/36 weber apart from that and extractors completely standard. I'm thinking the sound I'm getting is pinging how do I check? Thinking I will just replace the starter motor and while there check the wiring

So recently bought and had installed a recon 5k motor, had all my old stuff of the 4k put on there. First question is while wearing the motor in like a grandpa ofcourse I've been noticing when I slighty put my foot down while not under load and in low revs I get a loud almost tapping sound? Second question is it worth putting a 5k started motor in or is the 4k one plenty enough? Think my current one is struggling so wanting to replace shortly. Thank you in advance Scott

I may know the reason for this, its Adelaide we don't really have much else to do but look around on the internet trying to amuse are selves. Sorry

Name: Scott Car: 83 KE70 Motor & Driveline: Fresh rebuilt 5k with k50 box, extractors and running a 2inch zorst, 32/36 weber and stock diff Suspension & Brakes: stock cut springs (previous owner) and stock brakes Wheels & Tyres: watanabies recently powder coated :D running cheaps tires that came with the rims Interior: Stock interior apart from custom made parcel shelf with 6" speakers, 4 1/2" splits with deck installed down near shifter, tacho dash and just bought some new black carpet Body: Stock body resprayed bumper bars couple of patches of rust but apart from that really straight Other: Custom baracooda sticker on rear and transformer sticker on front, number plates changed and custom exhaust tip

Sorry ignore this thread there was the missing shaft with the almost cog piece on, went down to the local u pull it and all sorted and running like a dream.

I've just swapped over from k40 to a k50 aka 5 speed and the speed sensor has a different terminal to it, my original 1 pushed in but the box had an external thread to screw onto. The new 5 speed I've just connect up with everything else being perfect is there is no thread on the sensor cable. Any1 else had this problem and/or know how i can get around this I.E get a new cable and from and modify the old 1??? Please help

thanks thats what i was looking for throw OUT bearing it is! Done and Done thanks all

Clutch kit? Do u know who has the bearings or is it just a sprint job?

Hey guys just wondering bought meself a 5 speed box from the wreckers and the front end bearing and thrust bearing were gone. They fortunate for me refunded my money. I've bought a new 5 speed and before putting it would like to check if I need to replace the thrust bearing or as some people I've noticed called it the throw away bearing, what should I look for I.E really loose nice and tight? Anything else worth checking this time before installing? Also what oil is reconmended? thanks people Scott

spotted a newly resprayed yellow 70 last nite on jetty road at glenelg VERY nice

Yeah man thats the one, parked next to ya but left before ya go back out

Spotted absolutely overrated nana spec yellow e7* at west lakes car park, have to say sexy thing and one of the cleanest ive seen around.

Recently bought a 5 speed ke70 gearbox and now found out the front bearing is gone, spoke to the wreckers i bought from he will refund my money or pay for the bearing but obviously not labour. Is it worth gettting the front bearing fixed? If so how hard is it to replace? thanks Scott P.s ke70 with 5k and lite mods stock radiator ok? or need upgrading?

Hence people trying to do research by asking questions, or did you always have the knowledge you do know?

thanks heaps mate was starting to loose faith, seems that the only people who write are the people who have something lodged! I'm sorry if funny enough people ask questions on a forum!

Cheers man. Had a look alot of technical stuff and for some1 with car knowledge as myself it flies over my head, I'm at the very base of knowing about cars

Sorry its a ke70, did have a search mate tried ke70 suspension but got nothing so tried ke70 and got endless amounts of pages as suspected. Was purely asking people opinions on what there experiences are, new to this coralla thing and wanna get to know my car and parts which can but upgraded, hence joining the rollaclub!

Also I'm fairly sure my thrust bearing is gone, is it worth replacing that by itself or while out getting the clutch done? What radiator would also be a good upgrade? Whe installing motor was told I'd need one in very near future. thanks again

Yes i have how to much a tough k and the thread but I'm asking from peoples personal experience on there opinions. I have a ke70 with a recently put in recon 5k and 5 speed box, i have extractors and 2inch exhaust and a 32/36 weber. What would people reconmend I could do in the future? I would like to mayb improve steering, handling and braking but not looking at spending the world. Are there interchangable parts from other models or series that would improve the stock without the price tag? thanks in advance Scott

Spotted a few 70's at the drifts last nite, was impressed with variety lol from 4k to 4ac to 4age kicken em sideways

Yay finally got spotted, lol had 4 people in it so she was stuggling abit and i can imagine the height she wouldnt of been sitting at

I've just put a 32/36 and yeah wish i'd gone 32/32. I have to agree with exhuast size ive got 2" with rear muffler and resi and notice the high end rev power but bogging lower, also due to incorrect jet sizing

spotted brown ke70 with meshies on front and stars on rear? Gave a wave got almost a death stare back thanks

I've recently got extractors will these fit onto the 5K?

So 5K is a good starting point, I've recently got extractors will these fit onto the 5K? What mods have to be changed to fit the motor or is it as simple as in and out job?
