Scott_87 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Hi I'm all new to this rolla scene, coming from skyline and before that commodore yeah i know its not looking good so far. I'm looking around and hoping to buy a ke70, ae71 or any equal looking rear wheel drive manuals. I was wondering what should and shouldn't i look for? I.E motor size, type and problems there known to have. I'm hoping to have something with a little kick obviously within reason. Please help oh masterz Quote
Trev Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 Hey mate, What are you looking at using it for? Quote
Scott_87 Posted January 19, 2009 Author Report Posted January 19, 2009 A daily, but i drove the 32 around as a daily so id love it as a project aswel, slow project but project. But yeah I'm hoping for something fairly stock and cheap to run around in Quote
seabiscuit Posted January 19, 2009 Report Posted January 19, 2009 I was wondering what should and shouldn't i look for? I.E motor size, type and problems there known to have. Ke70.. problems? WTF? ;) They do occasionally get a carby problem, which is probably an easy fix, but it has flat spots, or seems to be spluttering. It's not a MAJOR problem, as it can be fixed fairly cheaply. So make sure you give it a test drive. You might be able to get it a heap cheaper and say it's not running right. Other than that, I haven't had any problems to note. Good luck in your search! Quote
JiP Posted January 20, 2009 Report Posted January 20, 2009 The KE70 comes with a 4k which is a 1.3 lt engine. The AE71 is the same body shape but it comes with a 4A. I'm not entirely sure but i think it is a 1.6 lt. Best one would be to go for the AE71 if you can find it. It would be easier to convert the engine to a 4AGE as the cross member is already there.
