Nah, that's me Philbey- I've just fired it and there's a blast haze about where the scope is. My elbow was on the table and I'm sure my hair was tidier, but it pushes you back with unstoppable force! It works over bystanders as well, not so much the noise but the blast from it. They're not illegal in NZ, where I was shooting it, and its quite a show stopper at the gun shows. The arms laws over there are much better than here in Aussie. They vet the person getting the licence much more, but once they've decided you can have a licence they are not as worried about what gun or how many you own. It shows in the lower gun homicide rate NZ has. Aussie gun laws would stop my mate from immigrating over here, which is what his wife would like, so Aussie misses out on a fine engineer.

Same idea- He made the swage that formed the rifling, so he started with nothing bought for it at all. We were shooting LPG barbeque bottles at 400M, in one side and out the other. The Military ammo in the machinegun chain was absolutely terrible, I can see why a 50cal Browning sprays everywhere, but once they are re-sized and reloaded they are very accurate. He wants to take out a 210L drum at 1.5km... Just think, there's only 250million Muslims a couple of hours flight NorthWest of Aussie.. we just need a tiny army of dedicated volunteers to be armed...

You are right! It's probably an AE90 as my Aunt bought it brand-new in NZ, so it would have been an Australian model. It defininately wasn't 4WD! I'm sure they are vastly outnumbered by the AE91s bought in second-hand from Japan, but they look so similar I'd never tell them apart. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Just want to store this data..

Lol! I couldn't believe it when I heard you needed a full gun licence to own a plastic pellet gun! A shooting mate was going to take me to airsoft while I was in NZ on holiday, but we ran out of time. He's got airsoft grenades that they use and airsoft flash-bangs.. it sounds like crazy fun. Aussie making them equivalent to real guns is not only stupid but it works against all the "safe society" bullshit the anti-gun mob push. All they have done is made a whole lot of young people get firearms licences, who can then think "Oh well, I might as well get a real gun while I'm in the shop..." and they end up with more guns in the country. ..and their problem with plastic guns that look like real guns bites their arses too. Would you rather be held up by a thug with a plastic replica or with a real gun?? Speaking of real guns.. a mate of mine made this. Machined all the parts from scratch, including the barrel. It fires .50cal BMG, the machinegun bullet used on the back of vehicles like Humvees, in planes like Spitfires and on tanks & armoured cars... The famous round that Aussie banned because it can shoot down helicopters and blow up ol refinery tanks... So all you need is access to a lathe, a mill and a press...

The nice thing about SUs is that they only feed what the engine can handle. No matter what the butterfly does, the slide only opens enough to feed the engine at its maximum acceleration. There's no 'open the throttle and get a fat flatspot' as the butterfly whips open and the motor can't suck fuel fast enough to handle that much air, like people who over-carb a motor often get.. It might be harder to find a 2" SU than a Weber 40DCOE or 28/36. The DCOE will no doubt cost the most, but they look the most cool! Looks a great project!

Yeah, get a fat single, SU or Weber. You can get plenty of jets for Webers or you can sand your own needle for the SU. What do you reckon the locked dizzy?? Surely that will be perfect for some small rev range but not very good everywhere else?? Love the bodywork! I wanted a flat-front but only slantys were in good condition when I was buying. The old style looks so much better.

There are different acids that guys use, some neutralise rust, others don't. Some strip paint and grease extremely well, but the block rusts straight away. Oxalic acid is what makes rhubarb bitter and is why you don't eat rhubarb leaves. Maybe someone would like to start a thread on this and see what we can all hammer out. I'm running inch & 1/4 SUs, the HS2s, they're great for NA work, but for forced induction I would go for a single 2" myself. Its easy to make your own needles so they are lean or rich in any rev range, and you will certainly need the FMD setup I run, or something that tells you mixture by reading exhaust O2. http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/42407-the-girls-ke70/page__p__445727__fromsearch__1#entry445727

Back again! My two week holiday in NZ for Mum' birthday turned into two months as the roof needed painting and few other jobs had to be done. Was loaned an AE95, originally my Aunt's & when she died my brother got it, back around 2000. Its been passed around his three daughters for 250,000km, never touched except for added dents front & rear. Ran fine, a bit smoky, but was fine going Rotorua to Auckland and back every weekend. Funny spot was coming back to Aussie and driving the girl's KE70 from Sydney up to Orange. I stepped from a smooth and floppy auto FWD into a hard and direct manual RWD, talk about chalk and cheese!! ..and it was raining over Bells Line of Road, and dark! They both did trips OK, at about 7 to 7.5L/100km, but in entirely different styles. Battery died while I was away & big sister hollered for a Marshall for me.... $180 later.... :(

The guys who rally them will know a few tricks to make them go, and there should be some aftermarket bits to hot them up. Any car that has had a one-make racing class would be a good choice, I remember the N15 Nissan Sentras ended up with a following after they had a racing class. The gearbox would be one big problem, and the water system another. Check the sump to see where the low point is compared to the KE70 crossmember. Your mate would easily fab up engine mounts and odd bits, but you might find the geabox input shaft is too short to engage the crank or wont fit around the flywheel. How about a Mazda MX5 motor & box, they start off as RWD.

uummm... shouldn't be a vac problem. For a start, block them all with nails or something, then see if it starts. Sounds like the carb is not filling or the idle jet is blocked. There are vac diagrams around the site, I have both manual & auto at home but I'm away for the rest of the month.

Replace the oil filter! Either it doesn't have a non-return valve or its broken. I'll bet its fine if you start it up after 5minutes turnoff, but it drains away when turned off for longer. We had that problem, easily fixed with a filter, but I replaced the bearings later on as they were scoured from a year of no-oil starting before we bought the car. Its a dog to do in the car, whip the motor out! Make sure you change the studs in the timing-chain cover for bolts while you're doing it.

Chase up my content and there is a "How-to" with pictures from when we changed the gearbox. I'm all net cafes this month so no 'favourites' file for 'The Girls KE70...'

Remind me at the end of the month Andy, I'm in NZ working on my Mum's house until then. cheers

I like 'em- a subtle pinstripe can really accent a line of a car. It changes the shape by drawing the eye to somewhere you wouldn't normally notice. On the KE70s it really shows up that long front to rear curve.

Not over 2" exhaust!! You could use an inch &3/4 and it would do. I reckon very few guys make the 32/36 work fully, its not that they are the best Weber for the motor, its just that they are common and cheap. Twinky is right, you can get a second-hand carb that has been on a 4K, and you really need the cam, the head job and the exhaust to make a difference.

Well, I wouldn't say that... Its just that while you will get a cleaner spark and better running, its a bit more than just plug and play. When i find a "named" spring that fits it then I can say... "go buy a 'something' and pull the spring out of it" :laff:

Well, buy this- All the hard work is done and I don't think you would reproduce it for the money. I think the motors/6speeds go for $2500-$3000 in Altezzaclub. You get a motor that was made in the 21st century if you pick carefully, and that's a lot younger than an SR20. Pulls 8000rpm smoothly all day and puts out more than 100BHP per litre. http://www.rollaclub...911#entry512911

Gold !!! :lolcry: Evan you're a genuis! So simple and it will work perfectly!

Needs a wing!! and it will make her bow-legged & ruin her virginity!! :laff:

Basically you gas-axe the rear floor out & start again. Guy in Altezzaclub built a 1000bhp IS200 around a Supra 2J and did it to mount a live rear axle in the back. I can give you link in a few months if you're still keen.

Weigh them... How much weight do you want in the nose giving you endless understeer until you accelerate and the car swaps ends from the A done-up 4K would be plenty for those crappy cart-springs that the Roamans invented and you still have in the rear of your car! Do a 5K, and when it runs well and you have learnt all about conversions, plan a 4AGE. Otherwise you will be another pissed-off loser selling a half-done conversion on here in 12months time... "no rego, no pink slip, just needs finishing and engineering . Cost me $4grand selling only $800..."

Its too thin fo anything that squeezes it outwards like a bolt or an Ezyout, it just deforms and jams against the block. I think sump off might be the only answer, unless you can find something that works like an umbrella, gib (drywall) anchor that goes in small then opens up so you can pull agains the bottom, not the sides. Tricky... :(

Photo is small, but they look like vents into the fuel bowl. Which means the needle & seat is not stopping petrol coming in, or is being overpowered by the pump pressure. Very odd that it happened with both carbs... Fuel pressure too high??

Start with an O2 sensor and find out if its lean or rich.. Lean is a harsh sharp stink and rich a sweet overpowering smell, but not easy to teach someone in writing...

Usual stuff... cam, carb & exhaust... head skim helps, electronic dizzy is good but not necessary. Here's what I did- http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/42407-the-girls-ke70/page__p__445727__fromsearch__1#entry445727 Philbey that's pretty interesting. I thought the springs started coil-binding above 0.4" in which case they would bend something quite soon. I suppose there is quite a safety margin in the cam grinder's figures.
