S13 Brakes, Coilovers And Lca's - Rack Set-Up?

[Ke7k]

Hey guys, I've just put s13 coilovers, brakes and LCA's in my ke70 and having some dramas getting a confident answer on rack end/tie rod end combos to suit.

 

So the s13 brakes & LCA's are in, coilovers are in with camber tops, with ke70 rack, and I've found I'm roughly 100mm+ short in rack adjustment, and there seem to be a lot of different options floating around and I just need a confident answer from someone who has done it?

 

Basically after a combo to connect ke70 rack, to s13 brakes long enough for s13 lca's.

Any tips/help would be greatly appreciated as I get my license back in 10 days and will need to daily the ke. Thanks, Darcy.

Sourced the rack ends.. Do you have an exact model or year? Struggling to find bluebird tx3?

[ke70dave]

Sorry its not tx3 (tx3's are for the ford lasers :S)

 

Its bluebird tr-x

 

I think its a series 3? of the bluebird that looks like a box, from the mid 80s.

 

However....

 

The above setup works fine, i had it for years, but the angle of the tie rod end and the steering nuckle is not that great at static height.

the AW11/s13 one might be worth looking into.
