Coming out of hibernation.

When photobucket starts working il do an update!

Callum

cool wee car. have to come out to some drift days!

ps skinnier tyres, more low, more camber and pull guards. profit haha

So ive been mucking around with this lately.

The new look (version 2) is well under way.

Chucked my 14x8 work equips on the front with 155 55s and some 14x7 starsharks on the back with 165 60s.

Fixed up my fiberglass Goodline bonnet that had flown open on the previous owners car. Gave it a coat of white paint then fitted some alloy bonnet pins to hold it down.

Fitted up my zenki lip. Now that im running 14s i have a little more clearance which avoids the lip getting sucked underneath the bumper.

Put some tint over the fog lights to change it up a bit more.

Also picked up some face lift mirrors which have really grown on me.

Lastly i acquired a fiberglass hatch that has an oem spoiler molded in. A weight saving of 10kgs even with a glass window.

Ive got a drift day coming up in a few weeks time, only small bits and pieces left to do.

ahaha yea the dip stick popped out and sprayed oil everywhere, i put some wire around it so that it couldn't pop out and carried on drifting.

maybe a bit too much crank case pressure. too scared to check compression.

I just run cut lowering springs in the rear of both my cars.

Im keeping my t series as is for a wide track and pumping out the guards.

Hey callum, no one can seem to answer me but can you use ae86 rear seperate adjustable shock and spring perch coil overs in a kp?

im not sure if they would go straight in but there was a guy on here that was running them in his kp. was a 3sge bug eye.

only snapped 2 axles

I went for ling longs this time, generally i just buy what ever is cheapest.   

I didn't know that ling longs came that small lol. That's cool thanks man.

I know should ask this on your starlet discussion but did you end up putting that t series diff in your kp?

 

I haven't got round to it yet, will need shortening etc first

looking good man

 

what brand are tyres?

I went for ling longs this time, generally i just buy what ever is cheapest.

Pretty much this. Rules.

thanks. new look underway.

Ah so its been a while since my last post.

Have made some progress recently. Small port 4age is now fitted with a t50 and locked t series diff.

Interior is minimal, bride fixed back seat, harness and a Nardi wheel and that's about it.

Robbed the coil overs out of my Starlet and cut down some old lowering springs for the rear.

The exterior is pretty basic, some facelift bumpers and fog lights.

some 13x7 / 13x8 ssr mk2s with 155 65s all round.

A raspy straight pipe with a Yoshimura muffler on the end to make those ears bleed.

crappy bookface link from out at Ruapuna the other day.

roll 100mm clearance or bust homie.

titanium next?

where did you get the raybrigs from? need some for my daily but cant find any in nz.

thanks

those headers look awesome, cant wait to see the final product.

starting to look really nice. the old setup looked mental.

Hope this is going to be at the drift south final

Yea should be there as long as i can afford some tires. You coming down? Todd going to make it?

So my exhaust has been annoying me for ages now. Its leaky, hangs too low and just sucks.

I got some equal length stainless steel Jasma headers and thanks to Simon from Surfab for fabricating a 2 1/4" stainless steel straight pipe.

Its an ear bleeder alright. The officials out at the track weren't as impressed with the noise it puts out so will need to make it a little quieter.

The drift day at Ruapuna was awesome with 3rd gear entries off the front straight and manjis. The car didn't give too many issues although the plugs seem to foul up regularly. Im pretty sure the motors on its way out after over heating it numerous times, running with minimal oil and limiter bashing im surprised its lasted this long.

A few photos thanks to Max Spooner and Matt Speedy.

and a small video from Michael macaw.

nice driving! also looks good on the equips.

Looking good man. That front lip looks great where / what did it come from??

Was off trademe. not sure what its made for but have seen them on datsuns before.

thanks for the kind words everybody.

Seeing as all the kp owners are updating there builds thought i would to.

I picked up these 13x8.5 -16 mk1s for spares when im out at the track.

Fitted up some 155 65s. they sit out a little bit further than i was hoping, but will be sorted once i shorten the diff.

Also got an old bride zeta off BradyBro which i made some rails for and bolted in. as well as some harnesses. (not pictured)

Ive been toying with the idea of making/ modding a front lip for a while now and finally made a start.

Got a track day coming up in about 6 weeks time so just starting to sort some things out.

looks sweet. what size tyres are you planing on running?

this is going to be a beast once its done.

this sucks, will keep an eye out for the parts.

I wouldn't bother mucking round with k series motors. 4age conversion will cost about 2 grand if you can do it yourself that is, k50 will make it cheaper.

looks like an awesome drift hack. Any chance you could post some photos of the ae86 caster arm suspension setup? Im thinking about going down the same track with mine. thanks

haha cheers mate yea it was a bit of fucking around finding them aye your kp is sick as too do you have any coilovers you would sell?

Nah sold my old set a few months ago sorry.

those wings off club k are a mold of the jimtune wing. Ive had one for a while but the shape isn't the same as the trd wing and does look a bit strange.
