caibs Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 5000km since the motor and only a few little issues so far. tailshaft snapped a uni, box was leaking from the rear seal there's a small vibration, i think one of the shifter bolts touches the tranny tunnel. the front end is flogged out. i picked up some new tie rod ends, pitman arm and ball joints and i'll put them in this weekend. also got some 15x7 ssr reverse? mesh rims for it. the fronts have 205's so they foul on the guards. going to put the stock springs back in as well and see how it sits with the extra weight of the sr20. the rears fill the guards well. the dude i bought them off was a champ. had a very cool mx32 and jzx91. will put up some pics of the new rims soon!

Spectre Posted December 25, 2013 Report Share Posted December 25, 2013 What did you end up doing with the visor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caibs Posted December 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2013 visor is sitting in the shed mate, unfortunately i busted one of the mounting points when i took it off so i haven't really gotten around to figuring out a way to put it back on.

caibs Posted January 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 smashed another uni joint so i picked up a 4.3 lsd hilux diff with s14 rotors and calipers. going to attempt to fit it without getting it shortened (1410mm) hopefully my 15x7 +10 wheels will fit with a roll of the rear guard/lips. i think it will just fit, might need to go a bit skinnier than the 205/60's though as they baloon a little. however, nothing will happen for a while as I'm off to the states for a month on tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caibs Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Long time no update. Turfed the hilux diff as it was too wide and I needed the cash. Should have kept it but oh well. Wound up getting a r31 3.9 LSD cut down, new callipers rotors and lines. Diff sucked a bit of power out of it so I thought may as put a turbo on it. Pulled the motor to tap it for an oil return and found crank end float. So turfed the motor, bought a det. Put it in and it knocked. Turfed that one and got a new one. That one knocked too. Got to paint the bay as well. Long overdue Pretty over it at this stage. Perseverance is key. Got a new one from a wrecker with warranty. Ran fine. Had to run it with de dizzy or otherwisethe car needed a rewire. That's cool though not really a problem unless I want to run big boost which I don't. Then I got Z32 AFM Nismo 740cc injectors Apexi front pipe Shiney dump A 2871r which turned out to not be a 2871r, but still does the job And a nistune. Makes 227rwhp at 1 bar. I was a bit underwhelmed by the figure but its mighty fun ! And my suspension gear arrived too :) Basically a copy of chestikophs ae86/rx7/Honda brake and coilovers upgrade. Look forward to putting it all in. It certainly needs it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caibs Posted September 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2014 will be running down the 1/4 on the 24th. i reckon it'll crack a 13 at low 100mph probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Cool read , i don't think you will have any trouble a 13. Funny enough mine ran a 14.9 quite easily as an sr20de stocko with the big diff, so they arent as slow as they feel just lacking in torque.

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 And nice work for persisting and finishing the conversion! It rarely happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caibs Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thanks mate. I should have run it n/a I guess. And I nearly gave up on the det conversion after getting burnt on those two motors. Never thought I'd spend so much on a corolla haha.
