  1. Good to see you covering your ass, yeh i'l have a go... at least il be able to know if it fucks out, -- how ive always learnt Any progress on yours? hows that dizzy prob lookin now? Can i ask you - how your water system is set up as in what'd you do with the remote thermo on the gbox (fwd one) have a look at my one below is it the same or can you see where it'd go wrong? TB - Throttle body, blue is cold side red is hot. Pink things are the sensors
  2. Ok the 4age nutters what do i need to get the gas up front, I was thinkin about reusing the main feed line(original 6mm) to be the return and just run a 8mm rubber hose for the main feed to engine... then run a small surge tank in boot, and pump from there.... Is a commy pump or something else worthy? what kind of fuel pressure is it likely to be less than 40 psi? And a smaller electric fuel pump to prime the surge tank, who has done a cheap comprimise of this? Oh and if anyone is a sparkie out there and can tell me if mixing and joining the IGN1 and IGN2 makes any difference... I would have thought 12vlts is 12 volts but may fuksummit up, one runs the coil side etc and for other stuff cant remeber exactly what its for but yeh ....can i mix them?
  3. those are the og ones widened bro, just thinkin about the cost to get them dipped, he he one day right down on the list. And yes having it rolling is gold. I have problems... garage is going, so hopefully i can find a good storage spot out west or a decent tarp (errrh) What is left to do on yours?
  4. after the barina springs are in and some light truck shocks gabriels the back came down and the front was hit with standard viva shocks stiff torana springs and 10mm play... solved by 2 longer bolts and a horey cuppla nuts packed in... sweet. i am happy with that height for now... and the sills the 175's on the front and the 185s on the back... seems not too stretchey
  5. Hey nick are you going to turb it for real? i saw some ITBs on one of those stuck in a rolla, sounded insane, but if your running a deck on the top then cant have the tubes stickin out unless you make a hole. You could still go for the turb and itbs with a plenum thingey but raw NA will sound mean, and the stuff needed for the engine etc i guess with be under the front hood? heres the link of one for example rob
  6. hey you still need help with the bushes? SAS in mancow got them i think they listed for torana, i got the upper arm (4) lower arm (one each arm but 2 peices) and the ones for the chassis to rear arm the one that adjusts the caster for front. Nolothane or similar aussie make, 5 hundred, nothing else uneless you get from uk.
  7. hmmhmmm yep sure, i knew that ;P its some old compressor hose fits on ther nice for both seperate applications.
  8. Front end done just need to suss out short shocks then after gbox mount is done il be able to get measurement for driveshaft, had some good progress so once thats all done itl be wiring fuel and ignition Can anyone honestly tell me if i mix IGN1 and IGN2 for my 4age together even tho they are both batt fed and do different things what would happen, so long as i fuse it somewhere along the lines between the battery and the main relay?
  9. So heres the latest installment of the project... Front end, new bushes, new bolts, springs, shocks, hubs off 18hundy and a set of cortina brakes from the mangere pickys, caliper sizes vary slightly but between the 13 hundy and 18 hundy calipers they dont seem much diff... anyways after a light grind it was good to go, 2.5 mm washers have helped keep it off the rim face. Have now put motor in for good and the clutch has been fitted and waiting on gbox x-member to be made up.
  10. //oldschool.co.nz/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=26846&start=20 i have some engine mounts on page 2 sitting there, for 3 rib blok not sure if thats what your afta oldschool eddy, yeh i will have to make up something brofessional for that i think... il have to work my way back from drums to wheel cylinders to lines then hbrake... good to see yours firing... i scored 4 weeks off so paid to finish my car so im stoked as... PICs wont be for a while but i plan to upload when possible cos i dont have bband at home.
  11. inlet manifold ready for a plate for the unknown 60 mm throttle body, mmm its off a toyota but not sure if its off a camry/celica 3sg or off summit bigga next is the x member this is pretty tired and the top arm mount was super seized and needed to be sliced out... the drivers side arm is still on so the gas will need to be put on it... and the gear box mounts and x member, the t50 one sits not too far out so will need to suss where the engine sits first in relation to the final possie of this. this is the stuff before its off to the engineering shop... before easter...
  12. Hey nice bug i got to drive one in Surfers for about 5 months, just nice as a cruiser. I have been told that they are pussy magnets if you just leave them as is. I got this job in Austrailia and i show up in this thing, the boys gave me shit hard for about 2 months then i said to them haha come for a ride then dicks, they were all like na except one guy, then he reports back to them that it got the looks alright haha.. the only way to discribe these cars are fun. Puttin the racks on is good we had 2 kayaks strapped on ours looking like big bananas hanging over. Def for the beach this one!!! Nice... Also do you know if there is a stuffd one with reg on hold i could get the tags off? Cheers
  13. Q. Will i get away with keeping everythin i have HC wise and just remove the hub and bolt on 18 undred rotor and bolt on a caliper or will the hub need to be bigger too? I just want to know if the shopping list will need any hens teeth or not. Dropped off the X member to DML yday sweet 60 bux on the inlet manifold and 80 for the x member (the things i cant do...) Also i had to hack out the top arm mount to get the arm off and the bolt was supaseized, i trimmed down each side and tapped the pipe out they'l just need to weld a new pipe in and clean up the grinders mess, also the old engine mounts i didnt drill them out like any normal person would have I just hacked them off at the right level and will seam them off with some nice welds. PICs to follow Time to get the rolling part sussed, ie brakes and lines and stuff. The grotty old 1800 axle had a steel rod mechanism to actuate the handbrake and i have to retire that part and upgrade to some cable action...
  14. Yeah NICE HB you have there, does it get to full noise and how is that for ya? Does it wind out to 7800? i see the huge hole cut out but i suppose it had to be done. The results are O-some. Clean as a whistle. My one ive decided to hang it higher and when the pics are up youll see the method im using for my engine mounts, this weekend i had the motor wedged in and the gearbox jacked into place (as one unit) centred the gbox and the front of the engine and marked on the x member where it will need each plate, just looking at it i get the feeling its too simple to work but im taking it down to the engineerin shop this avo they can start work on it. Started to cut n shut my manifold, a steel plate will block the old end off and ive hacked the other side flat for a thick plate for the new throttle body. NOt ready to get the shocks and springs done just yet but yeh thanks for the info, $$$ Cheers for the torana info, thats great to know Q1. Will the Princess 4 pot calipers bolt to original place and still allign with the rotors? Q2. The Victor brakes, what year and what else interchanges? Do i take the whole arm/hub/brake setup and will it bolt up to top and bottom armand to the x member? and whos got them for how $$much$$
  15. hey man cheers for showin your ride yeh i think da ol viva is a nice shell to work with it was 300 so i think that it was a steal, rust wise shit it was snotty as but i hacked into it much to everyones discontent, start it fresh i rekon clean welds and nice plate and then prime it up as you go, my mate in pics did mine he got welding cert so no arguements about who is better welder, i had to fab plates for cunty places but tin snips and a hammer did the trick weld and tap into place tack here tack there, but the lead paint was smelly as you weld into the old shit too, but eh once its done its done good for a few years andthen some. The sills were done by an engineering shop for 70 bucks each side and the guy gave me a heap of plate enough for the rest of the car, oh man the hours and then of course the front guards and matching the guard up in the similar fashin oh i could ramble on as you guys well no these hacks take up time but seeing the results and seeing al ot of others on here thats awesome too, chur
  16. I had a ugly galant 92 model with some 15's on it after it was lowered it got some 225-60-15 toyos on it which made it baloon like, it filled up the space well cos the 2056515s had heaps of space in there but the only way to know is to have a look with it on eh, 7.5" with 185 70's for now, and then still got some tyre to absorb a bit of the impact when hooning over dodge stuff. Maybe if I go white wall in a 185 70 i will do that and that'l make them look not so bad and take the overall height out of them.
  17. the steel surgeon in manukau rekons $65 each wheel do i go for 6 or 7 inch wide to accomidate the 185 70 13's?
  18. Bro nice job on the wheels, il be doing the same with mine,do you go to 185 60? 185 70? as inthe pics cheers
  19. yeh the sills were one of those things that was going to be a point of difference, i hope they come right once its lowered and i widen the 13's, they do look better with the yellow paint on it but yeh cheers for your opinion
  20. the front end, just sat there not lined up or nothing...
  21. we are approaching the current date, so here is my 3 rib 4age, recond, standard internals, t50 box , just need a 22 spl yoke anyone got one???? let me know
