Nice work mate!

 

I haven't been out to Jap Parts in years...used to have a heap of KEs! A lot of my ke30 came outta jap parts!

Yay! I now have a tacho dash!

 

Argh hehe. Well done. How much did you get it for? I've been on the lookout for a cheap one for my KE70 for ages.

Looks like the MIN i'll pay on net is $60 + postage. I may have to check Jap Parts out!

I paid $35 for the dash, pulled it out myself. I don't think they have anymore, there were a couple of clock dashes in the wagon, but it might be worth a look. Not sure if Jap Parts is selling up? I saw an ad in the Canberra times walk in walk out. I suppose it means cheap parts for us if we're quick.

 

Also, thinking about getting struts from them, I was told $155 for struts with brakes from a RT142. These are similar to XT130's aren't they?

Anything else of interest? 10s? 20s? 30s? 55s?

Sorry! Didn't really have a thourough look, and only had eyes for ke70's basically. If I go back soon I'll make sure to have a good look and let you know. So yeah, nothing there to catch my eye really.

I think I'm gonna check this place out. :y:

Went back to Jap Parts today looking for a T50 gearbox, the guy running the joint didn't even know there was an AE71! So I looked around but coundn't find one, although I'm no T50 expert finderer. Had a look at the cars out the back too, and the most exciting thing there apart from the wagon with a "sik, drift spec" wheel was an early 300zx. Oh, and the gearbox would have costed around 275 dorrars.

Heh, found the KE70 that you stole the Tacho Dash out of! :dance:

 

Will be checking out the Cooma wreckers early saturday morning for those of you interested!

 

Also excited because I've ordered a whiteline rear sway bar and lowered springs for my Rolla. Should start handling a bit better soon! :cool:

I was at super cheap at Q town looking for a dash mat for the kE70. No joy.

 

But I found two for KE 30/35. Pulled them off and lay them on the display unit below the dash mats just in case any one was after a new one.

If you find a KE70 one, let me know! I wouldn't mind one.

 

PS! - Cooma wreckers was a no go. Not allowed to wander around in there anymore. Unfortunately have to kindly ask what the bloke has and wait probably a week for

him to get back to you. We got pretty angry after the 1 hour drive :dance:

Yeah queaby super cheap can sometimes have interesting stuff lurking around. Once found 55 break shoes for 5 bucks, and wheel cylinders for 5 bucks, and points for 2!

 

Just gotta be lucky i guess!

Looks like I won't be getting it. Bloke said it was pretty much sold. It had a 5k, 5 speed, T-18 diff with reco'd centre and solex locks.

All for the measly sum of $250. ;)

 

Disappointed that I didn't get it.

 

EDIT: It had good tyres too! :)

What parts did you want out of it? Because I'm thinking of buying an AE71 for its gearbox mainly, plus a few other little bits. Found a KE70 the same as mine the other day, orange CS, unreg, weeds growing up around it outside someones house.
