crustydemons666 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 hey people, i have a t18 liftback and I'm thinking of putting a 4age into it. If i get a ae71 with a 4age setup, could i also use the rack and pinion setup in my t18? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKsev Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) Swap crossmembers and pedal box and should have no problems :) Might have to drill a couple holes to put the pedal box in is all Edited April 18, 2012 by BlueKsev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19914afc Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 You will need to use the steering shaft and everything as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jono.C Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Why change Pedalbox? It's already hydraulic clutch. Just change the master cylinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Why change Pedalbox? It's already hydraulic clutch. Just change the master cylinder If the clutch master has clearance to the engine, I wouldn't even change that either. Might just need a new rubber line if the fitting is different. These are a t series already why not fit a 3tg-te??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueKsev Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Because if he's using the rack and pinion the steering column will stick further inward of the car then the t18s steering box. Sooo you would use the matching pedal box to get the right alignment yeah? You could make it work with the t18 one though i guess, then sell the ae71 pedal box for a couple grand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crustydemons666 Posted May 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 ive put the rack and pinion in, without changing my pedal box. everyting seems to be the same between the 2 models. no cutting or drilling required. only thing i am unsure about is the splin for the shaft only sits in about 15-20mm, just past the locking bolt. the splin has a lip so it can't travel past the bolt. is the splin in enough or will it couse damage?

BlueKsev Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Is this on the steering column shaft thing where it connects to the rack? Did your t18 already have the steering rack when you got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustydemons666 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) i have changed the crossmember, shaft, column and the boot thing or what every it is called where the column passes threw the firewall. everything has bolted up nicely. without having to drill or cut anything. only thing I'm unsure about is the shaft that joins the rack. can't get the upload to work or i would post a photo Edited May 10, 2012 by crustydemons666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueKsev Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Thats pretty much the same as what mine looks like man, it looks like it should be in much further but i think thats as far as they go Edited May 16, 2012 by BlueKsev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crustydemons666 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) alright sweet, feel a bit safer now... haha cheers so on that note, the cross member, comlumn, shaft, boot thing, shocks/springs and sway bar all bolt straight up from the ae71 to the t18. no drilling, cutting or changing pedal box. any questions about the conversion PM me.
