cuzzo Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Are you going for the look or for performance?? Get another set of wheels if your going for performance as those 18 will handle like shit. Depending on who your getting it engineered you may want to box the pod filter. But so far so good. This will fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nedic Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 hey mate, I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned it to you but i suggest that change your master cylinder for your brakes to a mitsi pajero master cylinder, i'll have a look at my one tomorrow. Ive got a ke30 with an sr20det, commodore brakes front and rear and a commodore diff. I suggest changing your fuel lines to bigger ones also. Any questions just ask Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had custom brakcets made up to fit the commodore calipers, along with getting commodore disks machined with sleeves put in the fit corolla bearings. It cost a bit but hey thats cars for you. At the moment ive standard commo chasers on it just to roll the car around i don't know what size wheels I'm going to put on yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny t Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 yeah mine is costing f#@k loads! but least you only need to do things once if u do it properly the first time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca18rolla Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 i m in qld pod filter is fine exposed just needs to be secure and not flapping around for the transport boys. I use a patrol master with a adaptor bracket. It is a 1' master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny t Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 yeah thanks.. that pipe between the turbo and pod is like 150 mm long so it isnt flapin in the wind ...i gota put a airflow metre on that pipe hopefully it wont weaken and make it flap in the breeze. what is the reason u used a patrol brake masta? thanks for ur reply :no2: johnnyt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny t Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 just had a big set back the panel beaters have got bak to me and the rust in the bak wheel arches and on the bottom of each quarter panels are to much to fix and if they fibreglass it. the chances of it cracking and wreck my paint job.so I'm lookin for another ke55 and i can just swap everything over to it! but has delayed all my plans!was working on it putin the engine back in over the Christmas break but now its not lookin good :jamie: see what happens will let you know if anyone has any suggestions feel free to let me know thanks johnnyt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Too much to fix. They just couldnt be bothered, too lazy and probably can't weld. Typical useless panel beaters these days. :jamie: Take it somewhere else, or buy a cheap mig and teach yourself to weld, preferably the latter. Please no fibreglass. Probably a bit hasty in my panel beater abuse, but the too hard basket is always real big when it comes to old cars. got any pics of the rust?

Taz_Rx Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 What panel beaters was that.............. so I can tell everbody not to both taking there cars to the LAZY BASTARDS!!!!! If machg can bring that thing of his back from the grave, I'm sure a "decent" panle beater can fix a copy of rusty guards!!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
