this is not a build thread just a place for some pics and info on my daily.

 

picked this up off Andy after i pranged the yellow 70

 

JDM Te70 Sprinter that must have been imported at some stage

 

differs to local 70's big time

 

Its a TE70 Sprinter 1.8 XL with a 13T-U engine, T50 gearbox and T series drum brake diff. It was factory fitted with a T40 and and an S diff, but someone went to some effort as the car has that upgraded driveline, proper flared rear guards and has recieved a respray at some stage. still has steering box like a T18 but its fine for daily use

 

You can notice that the front end is different (lights and bumpers), along with the C Pillars and the Tail Lights. It has a different dash, and instead of over shoulder seat belts in the the rear, it has lap belts only! interior is pretty pimp too, basic brown but the trim is different on the door cards and seats add to that the DOPEST set of floormats the world has ever seen!! bright blue rubber with "Sprinter" on them the rear one goes up over the tunnel lie skylines etc and looks cool as :P

 

i put my 86 coilvers in and some AJPS stuff i the back. used the cross fevers on the front it came with as it has Corona LCA's so they fit quite well, then added my SSR starshark II's to the rear to fill the rear arches out better.

 

I was going to build this but its just not the right car for it, I don't want to destroy what migh be the only one of its kind in the country :jamie:

 

it's actually going back to stock setup as i have another car that needs those "fun" parts. it will soon be riding on 86 struts and stock rear end and will probably roll on 86 stockies, it will get an S diff as well as the T diff is leaking and could be better used locked in someones skid rig :y:

 

I will daily this until my other project is finished and then it will be sold off

 

i'll have some more pics up of interior etc later

 

 

 

Hey, that car looks sweet!!

 

So whats the diff with the C pillar?? Looks the same to me.

its wider and has that chrome vent trim there instead of the smaller one that sits at the bottom of the pillar

So presumably then seeing as though its a JDM car its got a compliance plate on it?

no compliance plate

 

just has normal plates, actually missing one but the police came and checked it out when the roadworthy was done and QLD transport was consulted and its all good

 

its registered in Qld so it must have the necessary details i guess

Id say they might have records from the importing of it. Great car.

swell car man, rear guards look pimp as. :P

Saw it yesterday and it is definately different to a Ke70....but in a good way i reckon.

Quite a unique car and i especially like the fact that it's badged as a "Sprinter"

Makes the car that bit more appealing.

Would be a Perfect Daily if it was a 2dr.
