  1. helloooo i am selling my nissan gazelle. it has ca20e, fresh oil, filter and plugs. needs a battery. has cut rear springs, comes on stock gazelle wheels. car isnt Overrated, a few rust spots around one of the rear windows. has a rust free sunroof. plates were handed in so you'll need to fill out a form and get new plates! car runs and drives. has a straight pipe. comes with standard steering wheel. 800$ no swaps unless for Ferrari. located down north near mallala. 0447226777 thank youu
  2. yeh i really think bottoming out is the last of my worries haha... i can't find spring rates either. ahh well i think I'm gonna get commodore shocks......
  3. no pot holes but there is ripple strips... idk if it can bottom out, the springs don't let the car move. i jumped in the car and it doesnt budge. i understand I'm only 80kg and it might change on the track under cornering etc but idk. the spring are from a zk fairlane and are probly triple the diameter of the stock springs i pulled out.
  4. its track only and the car is that stiff it shouldnt get any body roll. ill test it for you. i don't wanna spend any more money than i have to on this corolla cause I'm gonna get coilovers soon. I'm not worried either way. just a bit of fun, and I'm doing it all myself just tryna learn. it might work and ill have a race car ^__^
  5. I'm gonna drill a couple of holes in the perches and get some thick zip tied to hold them in. you wont stop me from doing anything :)
  6. i might end up using vk wagon shocks, i want it scrapshitandscrubtire low though :|
  7. so i got one coil doing all the work lol? funny as. i didnt do any calculating, pulled them out, cut them half of my old ones. put them in and presto. i jumped on the car and it doesnt really move at all... I'm a bit worried about them popping out :o
  8. ok so i went to upullit and got some zk king springs diameter was almost the same as the spring i had already, its a very close fit. started with lots of coils ended with 3 coils :) fit the camber tops to original struts cars to low hence the brick... and the thread on the insert wasnt long enough so the bolt isnt held on by much, but haters gonna hate ^__^
  9. do i have to make a account to see the spreadsheet pyrohamish? sounds perfect, stiff as. can't handle the body roll anymore and the car is way to aggressive when i try to link corners. that set up looks cheap and its close too, but can't wait for rebuild :) i just need to know the part number for gabriel of the exact shock i need would make it easy! thanks heaaps
  10. oversteer is the plan :) i got xf kingys from upullit gonna go halfies. just need get the front as stiff now! anyone know cheap way to get front as hard? i got xf spring for the front to diameter was close but gotta fit them tomorrow. its for ke70 sedan like i said guys, this car is by no means for the road, and I'm not gonna lie i considered welding two bars in haha.
  11. alright ill try again if not maybe commodore shocks are the way to go..
  12. cheers for the replies. the car isnt for street use i want it stiff and cheap. i told them the year but apparently theres lots of different models so they keep ringing me back saying which ones do i want....
  13. hello before i get flamed ive searched the forums and google can't find anything that helps me. all i want to know is what model sierra shocks you guys are running? year, soft top or hardtop? etc.. the more info the better. I'm trying to order a pair in but autobarn keep ringing me saying they don't know which ones i want. also gabriel or munroe? they quoted me 100 each, is that decent? thanks in advance ^__^
  14. ive had trouble with this can't get my tacho working.
  15. even buying proper lowering springs they are shorter than standard will stock shocks hold them in? if not whats the difference between cutting them?
  16. ill give the mr2 shocks ago, aw11 i assume? i take alot of pictures. love it :D bought front end off gumtree was in better condition than mine, so I'm swapping it and putting shit one on my drift car. its all painted blue to match the car now gonna put together tomorrow. i wanna play with the struts while the guards are off. my collection ^___^ i wanna do some more tonight but how i met your mother is on effemmell...
  17. i run cut standard springs in my ke70 and ive been drifting it for ages. ^__^
  18. hey guys my names michael, 18 and I'm from adelaide. just wanted to make a build thread for my ke70. i bought the car about a week ago off rollaclub for 600. its very rough but being a dumb ʞ©$ɟ i sold my old baby blue one that was in 20 times better condition but ohh well. i bought my first ke70 with a running 4age for 1000 about a year ago defected for track only, ive since moved on bought a s13 for drifting now and gonna make a 4age daily :\ new car, rust is lighter than carbon fibre ;) 4age ke70 plan is to swap the gear over after matsuri. i bought coilovers a while ago off rollaclub, being a noob i didnt realise how long they were... so me and my brother cut them down so i need to find some shorter shocks that will fit and some stiff springs. any help would be great guys! cause its got me screwed. also gonna hunt down some xf springs and sierra shocks for the rear. got sv21 radiator with twin thermos for it too. ive got a ma61 i was gonna try the front shocks and springs from that in the ke70 but not sure if they will work or be stiff. might try anyway. just bought all new front end off gumtree with out rust, so currently fitting new front end. and thats where I'm up to ^___^
