love ke70

:(

while its usually quite simple, there a situations, where you go, wtf, am i even turning this the right, usually when on your back, the bolt is near impossible to access, and it all just gets a bit overwhelming, this is when this trick is good to have, I'm sure you have had moments under a car up to your elbows in grease getting to a shit of a bolt to undo it, and gone, "what f@$king way am i meant to turn this f@$ker now?"

ive seem them for sale on here before. sunnies that is. taz I'm assuming you contacted roh directly? ive got a custom plasma cut set of steel rims on my car, dunno where they came from though. cheers, andy

bit of a hike but i may be rather interested, thanks for throwing it up :)

block says its still a 4k motor, so don't have to engineer it, would be the only real benefit i can see? perhaps to stay in a certain class of racing?

at band camp?

yeah fkn right. bet i don't see you there :P

what date is it? i tend to head out in the arvo and watch a bit with the missus

have you replaced all servicables like your told to? if the fuel pump is f@$ked, get a new one in before you ask any more questions what gear are you in when it drops from 100 to 60? these motors wont complain about going back to third to keep speed, especially not around the 80 or 90 km mark.

you can go ae71 pedal box, or mod your current one, if you have someone that knows what theyre doing. master will then be more or less your choice, custom lines down to the standard sr20 slave.

it looks the right size to be a doorway, and it looks like a lintel across there, but its very high... maybe its a window and the sill isnt in? either way, there should be nogs on the right hand side, like there is on the left.

where are the nogs in the wall on the right hand side of that doorway?

stop parking across their driveway then? :P

repeats cause its school holidays ;) wgmgs, having to come home from camping. living in the country really appeals to me more and more every year

body wise i think it does match a t18, think...

theyre the same as t18 are they? if so, thats a particularly blonde moment i just had. my bad. haha sorry about that

you wont get parts from australia mate. id be trying http://3tcgarage.com/ thats a US and puerto rican site mainly and they will be able to help you out. if not i guess you could try and bridge the language barrier and try the malaysians etc, but ive always struggled to find anything useful from those guys. if not, if you have specific needs, i would be talking to elvin, http://3tcgarage.com/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=102 hes an absolutely top bloke, bought a 2 door ke70 sedan for me in the states, stored it at his own house for 3 months, while i bought nail guns, which involved me sending him the $5000 for them, and him buying them, loading them into the car, getting the car inspected by state police, and doing all sorts of shit, and he never let me down once. so if its in the states and you want it, he will get it for you. cheers, andy

alright, so after work on saturday swapped a standard shock in, fixed the flange leak and welded the exhaust, got eveything back together and on its wheels, happy that everything for roadworthy was done. did a mad burnout in reverse, filled the shed with smoke, and called it a night, deciding the handbrake had jammed on one side. so this morning i had a play, and after repeatedly doing the same thing i decided it must be a stuck cable, and i had also broken the outer, so without removing the brake shoe i got the cable out, which is easier than it sounds. people that have removed one before will know how fun it is to get the 3 tabs flattened out and through the hole. stripped a cable out of a spare diff laying around, installed, adjusted and took it for a spin. lovin life :) got my 15x7s on the front with toyo t1r, sticks like shit to a blanket :D

yeah man, if you can ring him, you can order and pay over the phone, he will have them there, and you can get the chrome trim that goes around the screen too :)

amen to the proper lsd, just had mine built, 200 foot pound to get it to slip, so will corner nicely, but otherwise it may aswell be locked, theres a reason they are best of both worlds... and theres been so many of these style of threads, it just depends what your gonna do with it... depends how much its gonna cost and how well its gonna be done. if you want the 4l, id be going 1uz...

yeah, that fun never wears off ;) you wont get it on the street, but i am a fan of turbo 6 ke70's but you gotta do it well, and in my experience the motor is the cheap bit of a good conversion, so you may as well do it with something you really want..

thankyou evan!

trying to think of the name of the bloke. hes in brisbane. you will find him on ebay, sells alot of datsun stuff. has the ke70 gear too. big shop everything its all he does. who wants to help me out with the name here? *EDIT* its mazda stuff he does mainly, sorry. and as evan posted below, its phils rotarys on ebay, has a shop in brissie :) */EDIT*

I'm with raven, on outerlimits, you can't post a reply to any classifieds thread. its the best idea. only you get less traffic through the forum that way so not many people wanna do it, but it makes checking out the classifieds so easy :) wgmg, not enough hours in the day. i wanna work on my car, but by the time i get home from work, go to the gym, eat and do essential web activities such as this one, theres not enough time to make it worthwhile heading out to the shed. blah

so on the weekend, which i spent most of working, then fixing the ute. i got to the corolla. tail light earth and dead stop light fixed. exhaust leaks identified, flange from manifold to pipework, and a dirty big crack behind a weld, the thing is ready to fall in half. grr nothing that can't be patched though. pulled off the steering idler and inner tie rod, got replacements. getting the tie rod off was a hell of a job! replaced tie rod went to replace steering idler, and of course, cause i said match it to a t18, the bracket and everything is backwards, lhd rhd etc so thats all good i thought, use old bracket, new idler. wrong, the centre hole was the wrong size. like alot of things on this US car, the stuffs bigger. and they must have had the thing on the shelf for so long the rubber had perished and just fell to bits. got around it though, pulled the old rubbers out of the old idler with a spigot bearing puller, fitted them to the new idler, cause it was only the balljoint that was f@$ked, and put it all back together. win :) which brought me to the siezed shock, and the seemingly simple idea of swapping the struts. well, it should be but i had to go and make it hard, looking at the RA65 steering arms, and got to thinking they would work so much better if i could swap them left to right anyway, i started a thread on here and one on toymods, and was met with, the angle might not work, and if the angle does work, it will be good for scrub radius. so measured it up, and decided to give it a try, got to the point of putting the strut in, and discovered te72 strut top bolt pattern doesnt match ke70. so my adjustable tops don't fit now. now to decide whether to swap to standard tops, order new adjustables and delay the install and hope i end up using them with the final suspension setup. or just replace the siezed shock in the standard strut and pass rego with that. then come back to the swapping steering arms left to right game, which i may never get to, as the rest of the suspension and steering conversion will be getting done... i dunno! haha
