AE25

mark aka 'mrtoymonsta' on garagedori recently bought one of these celica-camry (from member 'RA55') to rip the gearbox... is a RA55 GT. 18rgeu, w55 and F series IRS rear. disks all round but non vented. irs diff looks identical to the ta63/tt142 GT-T. almost like its a mix of ra63 running gear in an ma45 chassis.

looks like he's now on-sold the shell to LLR-ae70. could be worth asking for parts.

there are variations in the strut. these type i believe are closer in proportion to a ma45 celicaXX strut. ie the stub axle is larger and same as a ga61/ga71/ma61/mz11 size stub and hub/bearings, but yet still has the ae86 85mm bolt spacing. youll have plenty of bolt on vented disk options if you have this strut but in solid disk.

so dodge fuel pump wiring causing pump not work? lean out etc. sounds like easy fix?

seems like theres one easy solution. ditch that fucked wiring job and start with a non modified loom!

there not much that needs to be changed in a factory loom. basically give it power and earth to the right places. run your alternator, starter, tacho, oil/water sensors etc to the dash and it'll run like a factory one.

i dont recall having seeing an inj resistor pack on the bluetop? been a while tho. even though they're low imped inj.. maybe its in the ecu or something? anyone got definate proof of bluetop with inj resistor pack??? chasing a ghost?

yes some bluetop 4age have a resister thing in the engine bay. but this is to adjust idle enrichment. the ae86 engine and loom in my 25 has this (next to coil/igniter)... but the bluetop from my ae82 fxgt does not. manual shows ae82 has it bolted to r/h strut tower from mem?

where have you given power to the injectors/coil? is it the big fat black/orange wire coming out of eng loom above aircon (over top of cam cover next to dizzy). or has this been tapped into and fed rearwards etc?

did you suss the fuel pump relay? search up 'circuit open relay'. (found bolted to side of ecu in ae82). the wiring diag may be in that 4age manual link. it's basically a relay with two coils... one triggered by STA signal (start key), the other keeps it triggered via the 'FC' pin on ecu. (or the switch in an afm).

This is a 5 wire relay. two wires for fuel pump in/out. two power feeds from sta and FC to the coil, and coils have a shared earth wire.

could also rig up two relays to do the same job.

i have 4age and ae82 toyota manuals. if you need anything in particular from them let me know.

fm901's were my fave tyre back when i was track drifting heaps. but could no longer buy em new about 2005-ish

nice rim overhang too so looks sweet on jap rims. i only had 160hp so grip was good for the application

<---- thats them in avatar... i smoke dunlop haha. squeel like a pig in 1st gear.

yep locked in saturday

cornwall park bbq area. try bbq's area first. i'll be bringing my hungry on. be keen to spark one those barbies up. bring meats! they get well used so they'll probably be nicely caked by time we come the next day if cleaned the day before.

if bbq area too full rock over to carpark other side of round about. drive round till you find us.

im in a faded yellow rolla wagon. will try get there on time this time!

the cornwall park website said something of a jazz band gig on the sunday so wanna avoid congestion in carpark.

oh yeah... it not jap only. anything pre 85ish

should really just call it 'nostalgic car meet'

hey it was mentions at new year meet to have more of these.. so here goes

any probs with 20th march? nup ok good (edit) it only 1 weeks away.

cornwall park meet like old times. near the bbq round-about.. where pohutukawa dr meets twin oak dr.

11am onwards. please hang round til at least 2 for good chin wags.

who keen?

map here

this one

more info here <---

i hear aw11 mr2 rear inserts work with those smaller diameter struts. google it or somethin.

easy option is keep the oil filled strut, and get a spacer made to sit between the valve thing and the top nut.. so the shock doesn't return fully to keep spring captive. then if the shock rate is a bit weak.. fill it up with thicker oil heh.

in my ke26 ive fitted ae85 struts, te28 steering arms, ae92GT shocks and king springs from a starlet. also need to fit camber plates and RCA's for best handling. not exactly low low, but a coilover setup and shortened strut housing would sort that. bit of work compared to just fitting short stroke shock.

more details on that here http://toycrazy.net/tech/ke2strutupgrade.htm

weather is sweet. see you guys there

wheres your eterna got to?

im not doing to well myself either.. wagon is engineless, wofless etc haha oh shit mad mish ahead.

managed to port my 12.5hp lawnmower engine tonight.. man briggs engines have mega fail ports!

more details:

BRUNCH... we're going for a brunch menu for the buffet.. so bacon eggs sausage hash brown tomotoes etc $15ea. 10.30am-12pm

10.30-12pm <------ got that

10.30am - 12pm for buffet brunch. be hungry!

event is free.. support our hosts by having lunch on site!

just a reminder...

one week to go! it's this saturday for those memory deficient peoples

I must make one thing very clear... absolutely NO BURNOUTS! whatsoever. I cannot exert this enough! you have been warned!

anyones seen doing a skid, driving recklessly etc, this includes leaving the carpark, WILL have thier number plates dobbed into police including any related footage. (manukau police are just around the corner).

The event, the cafe owners, and other events that take place in this carpark rely on the good behavior of all participants to keep a good name and allow the continued use of the carpark. previous behaviour has been great, lets keep it that way.

Another thing, sorry guys NO ALCOHOL. Bellagio Cafe are not licensed.

Also it is up to you to make sure your car is road legal. we dont want any colourful stickers handed out on the day!

cheers.. can't wait

just checking.. but did you use the original crown and pinion that was in the hilux head? didn't swap a different crown wheel on or anything silly?

apparently in the hilux heads, theres something different to do with the crown wheel mounting in ratios lower than 4.8ish. what ratios were in the two heads that you've used parts from?

the cars looking awesome

and just in case you missed that...

WHEN: Sat 16th Jan 2010 10am-3pm

WHERE: Bellagio Cafe, Plunket Ave - Manukau City - AUCKLAND

new motorway link from manukau to the sth western being built right next door

chur

Is it definately locked in for the 16th as I missed last years one due to Kumeu being on at the same time?

yep ITS THE 16TH. went in and had a chat to bonney the other day.

pile in one car and head out for a long lunch break or something.

Bellagio Cafe can put on a buffet lunch. details soon. approx $15 ea. need to know numbers. pm me or post in thread if interested.

dunno bout you, but i reckon it'd be sweet if there were a few prizes handed out at the end. it's more incentive to clean your car etc.

16th gives people more time to get cars going. i know i'll be rushing round last minute trying to buy stuff that i couldn't over the holidays cause shops were shut.

oh and DATE is THE 16th

If your trying the judging thing try hit up some sponsors for prizes this year I've found through cannon ball they are interested in looking at one event before putting up prizes so let them know about this one ask for prizes and they will probably support next years one.

yeah good idea. i'll start asking... inviting sponsors.

these events don't exactly see a huge spectator turnout as such, as its a car owners meet, but then again its not widely advertised. i'd imagine that is what sponsors are gauging.. how much thier product or company is 'seen'.

probably start a competition thing next time. due to the open (free) carpark and peoples coming/going the whole time it's a bit unco to organise a competition. (am i the procrastination king or what!) but come the following year i think a gated paddock/carpark is the go where a 'park n show' area kept separate from general spectator parking.

that works out well then. might get a few more mazda's on this weekend too.

16th jan is the date. [/confusion]

going with the 16th. cant make everyone happy. following year will find out opinions earlier!

please post in auckland event thread from now.

viewtopic.php?f=20&t=19626

oh the other thing is BigDayOut on friday. i know there was quite few that attended both events last year.

so next year i'll start poll earlier so can get a clear indication of best date.

9th?

phat, glad we got that sorted

teehee im having a good chuckle. oh man well yes the main arguement was that out of towners will not have to travel two weekends in a row if wanting attend both events. i say this because generally speaking peoples from oldschool.co.nz are into both and even more so now that oldschool has a display at kumeu. but now you guys are saying that the people travelling from a distance are probably only attending either/or event anyway?

the other possible option was to hold it on sunday.. but then this gives less time to recover/get home/fix car etc. ive gone and started advertising in other forums for the 16th so things will get rather wishy washy if i keep changing dates

argg fark what an easy one! never please everyone thats for certain.

ok even tho last minute few votes for the 9th. i still believe we'll get most people there by making same weekend as kumeu.

for those entering the kumeu show which this affects the most.. can you not get arm bands in the morning, then rock out to manukau around lunch time for a few hours (have lunch)? if cars cant leave during the day, then you're not going to miss the show! jump in a couple cars that aren't entered in the show and go for a cruise! easy

its pretty even stevens at the mo. would've hoped it was a clear winner

KE70 is same as ae86, << (top hat bolt spacing and steering arm spacing)>> ae70 same as te71. Me and my cousin have had alot of problems with this, ive got an ae70, he got te71. dunno why the stupidest things are slightly different

just to try clear that up.. ke70/ae70/te71 had an equal spaced bolt pattern on the top hat up til *around* 1983 where they changed it to the unequal pattern that you see in ae86. that applies to all the E7 chassis cars from what ive seen.

i believe the early top had bolt pattern is also same as ke30 and kp61. same as ke20 too but spun around 180degrees.

about this same time, but maybe later like around 1985.. the steering arm bolt spacing on ke70/ae70 changed from 87mm (that you find in ke30's) to 85mm that you find in most T powered cars and ae86. the changeover was later than the facelift of the E7 cars. te71 always have the 85mm bolt spacing.

you can also identify the differences in the struts easily by the way the disk bolts to the hub. the te71/ae86/late ke70 85mm style bolts from the inside out so the threads are in the hub. early ke70/ae70/ke30 87mm style bolt from the outside in so the threads are in the disk. the spacing between the wheel bearings are also different.. the stub axle is longer on the ae86/late E7 so the bearings are spaced wider. you cant swap a late hub on an early strut.

there is also a different shaped recess for the disk bolts in the hub. 85mm style is oval, 87mm style is square.

in my ke70 i run an ma45 strut, ke70 top hats, ae92GT shocks with spacers, ae86 p/s arms and about to swap disks to vented ones once ive made some caliper mounts.
