corollaart Posted January 10, 2010 Report Share Posted January 10, 2010 (edited) Hay beauc Good to see you started ,4 weeks wow some late nites in the shed coming up :jamie: Best get some more beer id say. As for the cross member just bolt it back on the holes that directly behind where it originally fitted. If your t50 is 20 spline output shaft ,the drive shaft will bolt straight back in no worries.Because your shifter position is at the rear of the box you will have to cut a hole for the stick and maybe bend the stick to suit. keep us posted on progress rob (just read it was auto not sure about cross member may need a manual ke30 or 55 one not sure what auto one looked like) Edited January 10, 2010 by corollaart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like i might have to source a manual cross member if my mate can't fabricate something out of the auto one, I will have to count the splines on it, i put the tailshaft over it before and it felt a little bit loose which worries me... I'm going to sit the motor a little bit forward, not too much though so i might not have to cut as much as i think out I've already got the carpet pulled back ready to go :lolcry: Yo, Beau, Do you still need a surge tank? i got one here if you want. Nothing flash but sure to do the job Thanks SLO, appreciate it mate, i've just ordered one from ebay, just a universal 1.5L i think, Should this do the job?

Beauc Posted January 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Had a bit of a win today, Went and saw Brad down at BDC performance at lunch with a list of stuff i needed and he pulled alot of it off one of his 4age motors that was going in one of his ae86 sprinters, and sold them too much which got me out of trouble!! Also getting a pedal box out of one of his sprinters to see if it will do the job in my KE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauc Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Pedal box and clutch master cylinder from the ae86, used it to match up a brand new one from my old work which is a brake and clutch place. $20 for a new one I think it was part number TJB1140 or something i'll have a look when i go back and pick it up from the shop with my clutch.. Got home and measured the holes compared to the ones on the car and it should fit on perfect which is good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauc Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Car might be going in new direction, stay posted. Edited January 19, 2010 by Beauc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauc Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Sandblasted the cam covers today and picked up my clutch master cylinder and got my oil cap in the mail, pics shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauc Posted January 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Quick update, not much has been happening physically with the car, was supposed to be mounted tomorrow but i've been moved up to 7 days a week working now which is a pretty big chunk out of my week that's 70 hours!! But the money is good and it's helping buy all the parts required. Waiting on a few bits from Craig at Just JDM Imports, he seems to know his stuff and is sending me a complete loom, ECU and Injectors to suit my motor Which we both agreed would be better than the injectors and computer i already had as they might have been mis-matched, this will save and headaches and doubts when it comes time to turn the key. Cam Covers still need to be powder coated, I'm thinking red at this stage and knocking the top off the writing so they are silver.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauc Posted January 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Happy Australia day guys! Had some good news today! The 4x4 is gone...but i have another cheap daily to run around in for a while until my car gets on the road which is awesome because i was never going to finish it in the 4 week time frame that i was given! This gives me a bit more time to do things carefully and not rush it and make stupid mistakes.. Cheers Ryan, i'll find out about that thing tomorrow for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauc Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 So.... I have it sitting exactly where i want it mounted, not too far forward, but not right up against the firewall, i think i have around 5 to 5 and a half inches from the rear to the firewall. My mate drew up some templates of the mounts and is taking it to work to make them up. Also does anyone know what the mystery gearbox that he gave me is?

Taz_Rx Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Also does anyone know what the mystery gearbox that he gave me is? Top or bottom one? Can you take a pic of both of then sitting next to each other from the front? So we can see the bellhousing flange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuzzo Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hey beau, you want to get the motor sitting as far back as possible. obviously don't mount it hard against the firewall but you would be better of weight wise and radiator / fan room wise.
