E X, if you find out the Gx71 actually fit, can you confirm this? XD cause if so, i'll just import some shit from yahoo japan for mine

GX71 supposedly fit. I'm in the same boat as you mate. I've sussed out the front, but i'm very tempted to almost convert to Silvia rear coilovers and get some strut towers built in shortly. Message oldschool auto's, they've got some in stock that'll fit. I think they were $260 for shocks and $300 for springs? But thats only a 40mm drop. I was wanting 70-80 so bought some Silvia coilovers for the front and going to sus out the arse end somehow. Is yours IRS or Live axle? T series diff?

Naaah bro, I got kicked out of Auckland and now at AUT

Yup, i've got a box. I've also got a RWD kit for your 20V if you'd like to buy that, from SamQ in aussie. Cheers

Have made little to no progress... Been broke due to no student allowance at the moment... Have bought a few little niceties for this. Including: Full set of Teins. $65 - getting them rebuilt then changed to suit my Carina eventually. [/url] ANNNNND Because the old 3AU is a sack of shit and struggles to get my fat ass up hills. We've agreed and paying off this 4AGE 16V until my new engine is built XD [/url] $700. With a K50, A series box + clutch setup. With some spare parts. But mainly because its a GZE bottom end, ( been rebuilt ) 16V bigport head ( Been rebuilt ) with receipts and HKS Jasma extractors... Contemplating running twin carbs so I don't have to bother about wiring/ ECU troubles... But will definitely get a lightened flywheel so I can ring it out on teh streets with my 4.8:1 T series head...

Damn. Was up there picking up parts last night as well >.>

Heey guys, So I needed a daily whilst my V8 is being built due to me selling off all my cars haha. Anywho, Picked up this Carina off trademe. Was on there for a little while... An old guy that worked at Mainfeild teaching students to race cars/ build em? Had it. UCOL or something. We left Auckland at 2am Saturday morning to go get it, thinking it was wof and reg'd it would be sweeeeeet to drive home. However when we got to Fielding, we discovered the waterpump had F#^ked itself from sitting in storage. So from Fielding to Auckland was a long drive. Constantly overheating. Constantly spitting out water. We ended up plugging up the waterpump to get it home from Matamata. So its now just sitting on some flipped meshies I had. My good wheels are staying on my TE31 XD How it is now: Was on shitty little steelies that made it float more than a boat. PROS: Toyota buggered up plates, so it says its a 2L. Electronic dash. Decent brakes. New waterpump. Cheap to run BLOODY MASSIVE IN SIDE! AMOUNT OF TOOLS I CAN GET IN IS RIDICULOUS CONS: ​​​Shocks are routed. Waterpump F%$ked. Now fixed. Radiator 99% blocked NO Radio. Severly cracked dash. Some really dodgy looking repairs made. A wee bit of rust in bottom of guards. ​PLANS: LOOWER FROM 4x4 spec to something decent. HALF DONE Replace 3.9:1 diff CHECK. 4.8:1 in there. New front reclinables Front brake upgrade - to the celica vented. CHECK Fix rust. Tinted windows Chuck on my Sexy Japanese lady gearstick from Nathan in Hamilton CHECK. Adapt an AE86 notch back TRD ducktale to fit.

Hahahah yeah, been told not to cut up the TE31 bonnet as they're rare as rocking horse shit and worth some decent coin. I've got a few different Ke3# bonnets luckily in storage so thats no problem, otherwise if it does have to come down to cutting it up completely, i'll find a rusty or just buy a brand new fibreglass one.. I'm happy with a 2cm/3cm bulge in the bonnet, and i'll get it painted so it still kind of looks factory until you get close, but got to get the mounts sorted out first. The engine ones are pretty whorey, so my old man is going to make me up some that look nicer/ stronger and hopefully sit the engine a tad lower.. Also been considering 'hug fit' type extractors like on the big chevvy v8's/ a winged sump so I don't rip it off going out the driveway.

Oh real? Thats pretty good to know haha Yeah, when I got it, it was on cutties with the most whorey lowering block setup ever.. The guy 'modded' the radiator to suit the 1UZ by turning it upside down, so the bung is now at the top of the tank -.- I've heard the S15/ Commodore radiators have the perfect outlets for a 1UZ so i'm hoping i'll get an Alloy one for an Xmas pressie from someone. Was it red when he had it? Or the yuk toyota yellow?

After dude, I got it from Pukekohe a few months back eh. Did it have the 1UZ and shit in it when he had it?

So I got a new storage unit. We put the front struts after buying new springs and shocks, we chucked em back in after I spent a stupid amount of time with a wire brush and sandpaper... Painted and cleaned the wheel wells, front and rear, struts, hubs, plates and leaf springs.. http://i.imgur.com/FgyOC5dh.jpg http://i.imgur.com/lq8uEwIh.jpg Pulled out the diff, and found out why it was so tight. The guy who 'shortened' the diff didn't do it very well... The axles are kinda warped now and don't spin anywhere near true... Luckily I've had a spare shortened Hilux arse end minus the mounts that was going to go into my ke36... The S14 brake kit i've got bolts onto this one as well which is a bonus - didn't bolt onto the last Hilux one which was weird. We are making the mounts for it ourselves over boxing day/ new years.

Hey, Its a left hand drive TE31, with a 1UZ Sitting in it. Was bought in from the states and lived in Invercargil for a wee while. Was originally running a 2TC when it was road legal here. How I got it: *TE31. Full mint interior. Currently has the shitty interior in it. *Hilux diff, drum brakes. Hubs turned down to suit 13 inch modgies *1UZ-FE import with auto box, all mounts made up. *Driveshaft made up *Wiring started *Standard front struts with SW20 calipers on vented Nissan disc? *Starting of exhaust made up. *13x7 Modgies Has cool little things on it like red indicators behind the rear doors, different license plate lights, and some fancy lights/ switches in the car. http://i.imgur.com/gHVwILBh.jpg Also has original radio too, which is pretty choice. Plans: *S14 Rear brake upgrade. Have got a SEMI bolt on kit which doesn't really fit at all... *Put factory mint interior back in *Finish wiring for 1UZ *Eventually W58 + Link ECU *14X7 Gallop Racing Mesh wheels. Flipped. *Slightly flared guards - metal not fibreglass *Tow bar - to tow my fun car around. *CERT, WOF AND REGO BEFORE UNI STARTS BACK IN 2014. Trying to keep it as standard as looking, however we adjusted the 1UZ today, to the center of the engine bay. Was out towards the left side by 30mm, as we had a massive clearance problem from the exhaust bolts sitting on the steering box and there being no room for the Brake booster/ cylinders. Now the bonnet doesn't shut, and by the looks of it, going to have it cut out the center and put a scoop or something on it. Discuss //oldschool.co.nz/index.php?/topic/41666-fiends-left-hook-e3/

I've got a k50 + starter + 4age... but won't split as i've got no room at dads and don't need any 4age stuff anymore. PM and i'll give you a number to txt if you'd like, not in the country at the moment.

Proper solid mounts The cert guy is also trying to make me beef up the front suspension as well? Even though the V8 weighs less than the standard engine it came out with?

Hey Cletus, can you fail a cert on having solid mounts? the 1UZ that i've got in my te31 corolla has just failed its cert today because of the moutns being solid and rust the size of about a 10cent coin in one of the guards. Cheers

Sweet, i'll talk to him tonight and see if he still wants some place like that. Otherwise i'd be interested in a slot to keep my car. But i'd prefer if it were out West. As myself and mechanic is out here in Ranui - so practically only up the hill from that one.

If your interested I'd be keen for one spot? Just to keep my ae85 project out of the rain etc... And whats the story like for power etc? As I know my old man has been looking for somewhere to set up a bench to make shit.. (he's a carpenter) and if thats sweet i'll talk to him about paying for two spots? One for me, one for him? Obviously just automatic payments coming out each week. But who's name would it be under etc etc.

Got the car - its on blocks at the moment. ( got no diff in it ) If you could check the volvo diff that would be great mate. Cheers

OH yeah? That would be sweet if I could come have a look/ a measure up man Yeah, I was just wondering - after a quick google, found that the ae86 diffs are 1410 wide ( ish ) and was wondering if the mounts would all be in the same place if I were to buy this Hilux diff which is 1360 wide ( so 50mm skinnier lol )

Hey guys, as per title. I was wondering if anyone had a rough guesstimate at where the mounts actually sit on an ae86 diff? I know the diff's are about 1410mm wide ish. But haven't been able to find measurements for where they actually sit. Just wanting to know 'cause I can get my hands on a Hilux rear end thats been shortened - Its about 1360mm wide with a LSD head and all ready to get new mounts thrown onto it fairly cheap off a mate. - Would the hilux diff be to skinny to chuck in an ae85? Cheers

If you're serious, I'll most likely be ripping the 4age + t50 out of my coupe shortly and going back to K series shit... Twin 45mm dellorto's modded K series dizzy + Msd unit... Probably cheaper than buying all the crap + putting it together and shit.. and you can hear it going if you are in Auckland...

If one from an ae85 works, your more than welcome dude.

Safe to assume its Oldschool cars downstairs and dailies up top tonight? O.o

Jesus... That in comparison to my mates diesel Audi ( $20 from Auckland to the Mount and back ) is ridiculous... Definitely wouldn't want anything Rotary now :/

I'll be there, I might have to get another sticker off you as well Chris. I accidentally put the last one on, on the inside. LOL >.> So its currently on backwards.. All goods if you look at it in the rear vision mirror.. But yeah
