got some s14/r32 adjustable castor rods today

and camber tops are in the mail so front suspensions close to being finished

Does anyone know of what tie rod ends are used with r31 control arms and s13 rack

made myself a gearbox crossmember the other day, the mount sits in a similar position as standard so i started with the standard corolla mount cut a section a welded the centre section of the nissan crossmember in.

My dads home from work at the moment so i took the opportunity to get started on the wiring. I ended up using the whole body loom out of the 180sx halfcut, so first started by cutting holes and mounting the fuse box

being cut from the middle of the car we got started on wiring the back half of the toyota loom to the nissan loom

 

also got my ae86 cambertops so put all the front suspension and steering together including shortening tie rod ends and rack ends to suit r31 control arms

 

now the cars mobile i pushed it outside to clean the shed up a bit and took a few photos

 

and got another one of those sticker on this thing so another trip to the pits soon

I ended up buying this yesterday for a diff;

the rest of it will be wrecked so if anyone needs parts...

 

Also tried the steering column from s13 and was more work than it was worth so continued to wire the corolla switches into the loom, so far i have managed to get the ignition and headlights (park, low, high, flash) all working so still have indicators/hazards and the wiper stalk to do.

Auto or manual?

the 31 is an auto

 

Been a while between unpdates but Uni is finished for the year which should hopefully give me more time to spend on this as I haven't touched it in a while now because I've had exams and stuff.

During the week I picked this up

will be using this as my lift pump to surge tank 129lph low pressure pump.

 

Had a look over my wiring tonight and realized the interior light and the handbrake light on the dash were not hooked up so spent some time wiring those up. So the wiring is more or less done now, need to tidy up a little and that should be it.

hey man where did you get these "Silver" cambertops? nice project I love it :-)

silver-project off ebay, sent them an email and they changed them up a little to suit my needs, they were really helpful, highly recommended

didnt spend as much time on it as i wanted to this weekend, just tidied up a bit of my mess and finished off the pedals

Nice one. should go hard.

 

Wonder how the S13 setup's going to fair.

Been a month or two since ive really done anything on this. Have been waiting on a heater core that I ordered which turned out to be the wrong one and then couldnt find another, so ended up just buying another wreck

So pulled the heater core out of that pressure tested it, fixed the leaks and put it in. So today i started assembling it all into the car and piece the dash back together. I also ended up cutting my new stereo into the top of the dash and wiring that up

plan is to spend some more time on it tomorrow. Want to start getting work done again!

Wow, have fun sorting out that interior :P:

No real achievement as the car been at this stage for a while just hooked a fuel pump to the battery and a jerry can to test if my a/c compressors getting power, which it is not :( but still feels good to have the engine running in the rolla for the first time

Bought a set of 16's off a mate so I wheeled it out of the shed, pulled the rear springs out and took a few photos

Realized that the R31 diff is 60mm wider than the ke diff and the wheels were definitely not going to fit so started rolling/pumping the guard which ended up being a mess as they needed to be re welded, bogged and painted. I've got them done now good enough to put the new diff in and see if it will fit but they are still going to need some work before they are perfect. Also can't decide whether I like the wheels better in black or white....
