Sweet! thanks heaps, I was looking into coiovers but im not quiet done with the car and have a few bits I wanna do before cert just want more low in the mean time haha. Cheers

Hi there, I own a 1987 GX71 Cresta with TEMS suspension all round, I am looking for more low in the front and want to get my front inserts shortened but I dont wanna go chopping up my fairly rear TEMS struts,
So will gx71/mx73 inserts fit my struts or is there any other options? Cheers.

Yes it was, yup its still on the rota's.. working on a few other bits and pieces before i fork out for some ssr mk3's.. Hmmm might invest on a trd upgrade then is there any other options? 

The altezza diff is junk. Not worth it. Will 1 wheel as soon as you try do anything exciting in it.

Ill try sort some shims to go with it, I dont really feel like forking out $800 for a trd one :/

The torsen centre will bolt into the head of your car, not the whole altezza head

Will any altezza lsd torsen center fit or only a specific model? Cheers

Sweet as thanks

F252 so from what I hear altezza lsd diff head's bolt into the crestas F series housing? 

Hers a couple of pics of the girl

Mate this cresta in my pride and joy factory 150k km's immaculate shes not getting molested at all! Cheers everyone I did look for the build plate tho ill take a second look now

Hi there,
I own a gx71 toyota cresta (Super Lucent, Exceed 24V DOHC)  witch come factory automatic and has been later converted to manual using a w55 gearbox.
My question is what diff will this be running? It revs out at around 3750 at 100km/h so im guessing it still has the automatic diff in it.
I cant find any information on the diff itself only a very faint stamp on the bottom of it that seems to resemble a 'T' but it has IRS and as far as I know T series diffs only come setup for a solid rear end?
Im looking to swap this old diff out for something LSD so any suggestion of what might fit would also be good. 
Cheers Scott

Cheers guys straight shipping quoted me $149 very reasonable!

Hi there, 
Looking to buy a car from Wellington I live in Nelson but can get to Picton easy enough. From what I know there needs to be a passenger on boad the inter islander ferry to take a car over? Anyone know of a cheap alternative? Cheers

Sweet as thanks for that, what else would be involved in manual conversion? will I need a new master cylinder?
Cheers

HI there,
Looking at buying a 1982 S110 Nissan Silvia for a new project. Unfortunately it has the 3spd auto box.
Dont know alot about these cars so my question is what gearbox was used/will fit with the Z20 engine. 

Also is it a hydro or cable clutch setup?
Cheers

How's it, just thought I would start a build post to try get some motivation to get stuff done!

So yea I own a 1980 jap import EX Lancer, bought it a year or so back pretty standard just lowered. Keep it the way it was for a while until I picked up full time work, now I have some 0 offset 15x6.5 mesh wheels that I'm in the process of polishing and paint and just bought a sohc 4g62t out of a GSR Cordia to put in it. So have a lot on to try work around a full time job.

I will get some pictures up later on tonight

Hmmm that's got me thinking if only I could find a good 62t or a 63t without paying the price of a evo 3 engine :/ your saying 200 shipped to Nelson for a 32t is to much? Turbo is on the exhaust side. Cheera

Talking about a 32t, only because if found a nice cheap one. Alright in quite certain they used the same starter motor so should suit flywheel u could always strip the one off my n/a 4g32 ivguess

Sweet so it should bolt up to my standard 5 spd? Cheers

Hi,
I am looking into buying a g32b turbo engine out of a GSR Cordia for my 1980 Ex Lancer with a n/a g32b.

 My question is will this turbo g32b bolt upto my standard 5spd gearbox or is it a wideblock engine meaing ill need a starion/sigma turbo gearbox?
Cheers Scott

And are they hot or cold setting cheers

Sorry to dig up a fairly old post but just to clarify is .15 inlet and .25 exhaust for the sohc g32b? Cheers

hahaha classic kiwi ingenuity will give it a go! cheers

Thanks very much guys! Yes I now believe they are potenza mesh. Cheers!

Hi,
Bought these wheels off trademe last week still havn't turned up and was just wondering if anyone would have any idea what the make/model of these wheels are.

Cheers

HI there, Bought some 15" mesh wheels and I wanna polish the lips to a chrome like finish. So I've been trying to find a good polishing kit in NZ as I dont know much about what compounds/pads to use ect.. Anyway I found this kit (http://www.thepolishingshop.co.uk/acatalog/Standard_Polishing_Kits.html) witch looks perfect and have seen many good review on it but its in the UK.. Any ideas of where I could buy a similar kit? Cheers Scott

Sweet cheers man after a bit of mucking around I eventually found it.
