AE25

badass! hey did you buy this off reo yoshimitsu from Tama?

drftnmaz now gots a hilux diff skidzon bo your carb running a bit rich or something? i could hear ya boost up the road when ya left haha and that corner is a bit a fun aye!

18rg would be a relatively easy conversion in your case tho they pretty heavy and usually need a freshen up if it hasnt already... they 23+ years old now probly easier finding an injected 18rgeu and convert it to carbs rxtoy im surprised you didnt jump on the latest ra28 on trademe http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=52890074 the seller said it had LT on the back and an 18rg under the bonnet

you got pm

hey did ya get that 5k rebuilt or found another?

good to see another E7 on the mod! can you detail what your doing to the 2tgeu? you prolly know this but meh... your te71 stub axles are same dimension as ae86 so theoretically you can swap the 85/86 hubs or just the vented disk onto your hubs but the caliper mounts are different so cant swap em as easy and the te71 caliper not wide enough for the vented disks. another option tho is ae85 struts which are same as 86 strut cept some hav different spring perch size n then buy some new vented disks for em, swap em onto the 85 hubs and adapt some different calipers on that are wide enough for the vented disk unless you can source 86 calipers including the caliper mounts. bit of stuffing round tho with custom caliper mount and prolly get picked up in a wof. cressida, celica etc 10" vented struts can work well but require camber plates to bring camber back in spec, gives more track width and upsets brake bias without finding a bias valve to suit, also ma61 struts are bulkier with thicker disk than say ta63 celica. but using these type struts also require different springs to fit your rolla and wont bolt onto your steering arms. need a bit of research to see whats required to fit in etc.. this page will help http://www.toycrazy.net/tech/struts.html bolt in disk brake diffs can be found in ae86 and jdm te71 efi. the rest require mountings modified.. the corona disk brake rear referred to is quite a rare 2000GT RT132 with 18RGEU and 7.5" disk diff.. very similar diff also found in ra40 GT style celica but again hard to come by. im running mk1 celica/supra ma45 struts which bolt onto te71 steering arms, dont stuff camber up like the later celica's do, have a 10" solid disk but which get hot pretty quick so need decent pads. oh and need to find suitable springs and bias valve. easiest bolt in is find some ae86 struts and splash out for some decent street pads.

those not in the know.. this is their official website http://www.spookers.co.nz

trdchick's point has been clarified thru the aftermath, as harsh as her opinion is! i dont see the need to discuss this anymore. the backlash is pretty clear how other club members feel about it so hope ya think twice bout makin comments like that in future.. hmm another oldschool thread turns poos. i look forward to seeing both club's stands at future shows.

well i was bloody happy to see the club-k stand there and representing! ok some of the cars may not have been in shiny show condition but its a great start and will surely kick off something even better for future some pics here from friday http://www.toycrazy.net/gallery/nats/2006/index.htm i was impressed by this guy's display

say hi to the guys in the club-k stand i'll be the one in short shorts + jandals talking oldschool this, turbo that etc garble

dates: show fri 27th 1pm-9pm sat 28th 9am-5pm drag sun 29th 9am-6pm look out for a dodgy lookin matt black ke70 coupe heh dats me

i have a 2y bellhousing to fit a supra box for sale dont have the box tho. and yeah the Y motors are not built to revs.. just plod along like a hiace or whateva does

argg give us more notice next time, i woulda met up, i was just around the corner that night too! i found that place was funny rather than scary. oh and coming off the papakura exit is easier to find the place i reckon wait for the maize out the back to grow then do a korn-evil night.. or if they ever get the paintball running dat would be mean

where bead blasting comes into its own is where theres a fair amount of surface rust or worse... the bead/sandblast gets rid of it all so when you get it back your only left with the decision of which parts to cut out or fill in. you'll never completely get rid of pitting with sandpaper without thinning and weakening the metal which also takes time and manhours theres no point in a sandblast if your just repainting

hilux's come with a w59 often which will have clutch parts... or the G series boxs in hiaces and liteaces, townaces (G52 G55 etc) interchange with supra box. like the 5k powered liteace has a bellhousing to fit a supra box etc.. funny shit.. but yeah find one with the clutch slave on the correct side as your w57. clutch forks vary in length and pivot point location so find one that suits.. pickapart is a good place to stuff around

you could try thin out the foam and maybe put some harder foam under it to harden it up

theres some guys in waiuku that have started a beadblast shop just for cars.. a mate had a mini completely done and underneath too then they spray some fancy etch primer over it before you get it back.. i think that cost $700 and my panelbeater mate says he'd never sand a car back to metal again! they're booked out till jan tho

keep eye out for the next nzpc mag.. it'll be in there might eventually be on the website? http://4androtary.com/

reece mcgregor having a heads up with an 8sec camaro.. will be interesting to see

i reckon cruize round town with everyone but have a meet up time and place so can head down to meremere as a group then park up down the back and camp out also anyone seriouslyl entering the show or drag day?

heh when my mate parked up he said the row next to him all had opened doors hmmm

also it handy to have a terminal bolted into the engine bay for the starter and power wires to bolt to around where the battery originally was.. just make sure it's insulated from the body lol im about to do the same. if your running a lead/acid battery then try vent it to the outside especially if theres sounds nearby. have heard of speakers and amp corroding from battery fumes

heh yeah tiz rough. but good thing is engine is unmodified apart from exhaust and intake! so plenty i can do to make it quicker (ie i/c)

most diesels have a w59 or w51 with a low ratio first gear im running a w55 behind a 3tgte and it not so bad with a 3.9 diff but too tall for the other end of the 1/4 if i want full rev's in fourth. maybe good ratio if i were running 12's or 13's t50's and w55 arent too dissimilar in ratio.. when people refer to a 'celica box' they should also mention whether it steel or alloy case as w50 and t50 are mostly considered celica boxs even tho they come in just about every other rwd toy in the 70's

massive turnout! i was racing the black KE70 corolla running consistant 14.7 which saw off a cyborg and bretts 4agte ke30 which blew the box, then a last run of 14.61 against the 13bt 120y but i got dicked. entered da burnouts too if anyone stayed that late fun nice to see a couple other ke70's, ke30, mark's ta22, the datto's n eski's out there
