rb drifter

have sussed a vr4 4g63t dohc turbo motor off a mate, had a cracked gasket but comes with new head.

will do new bearings and rings, gaskets etc  and get this puppy ready to drop in but may take a while as funds to do this don't grow on trees.

have sorted a laurel for my daily car so hope to get a few things done to the sohc setup in the meantime.

r32 shocks will fit rear with r31 top hats and be super short if you use the r32 fronts, for front use s13,s14 shocks and hubs

That Datsun wags is sooooo sweet. Definitely something I would love to daily.

Got this sweet gem a wof and rego. Needed lh tierod end and battery clamp to pass. also I have been collecting new 2" exhaust pipe and a coby and extractors. Also got 32/36 webber carb thanks to Bigfoot. Haven't yet fitted as I want a spare daily car while I do this to lancer.

i bought my dx 4 door wags for 600 with good tyres not running. was matt black but ok condition. sold for 1000 and kept tyres still not running haha. only needs relays for motor as loom was missing them. i feel like such a jew but the guy buying though it was a steal? oldschool cars can be very overpriced sometimes. guess it depends what is "cool" at the time

14x8 tridents with fat bulge tyres on them. i bought a set for the 73 crown wagon when i owned it but never got around to buying tyres for them.

i agree with the widen steelies comment. i perfer alloys anyday, unless they heart steels haha

i think they 19p offset? not 100% sure. i want to sell on car as whole unless i get other wheels to sell it on may consider sellin seperate

anybody have a kelford cam or something similar to suit a 2lire sigma motor?

oooh yes mr padget forgot you had that video haha, 1.6 auto gettin down

ive finally decided to add build thread for this lil gem 6 months after purchasing it....  

so the story begins when i bought this roughly 6 months ago from kaitaia off a 18 year old going to uni and needed funds, he got off an elderly lady that barely drove it local in kaitaia. 

it was fully standard, 1.6 auto. 

no wof, rego on hold

so straight away i removed the 1.6 auto with intentions of putting a 12a bridgeport in it, 

i lowered rear using new mirage shocks and cut 626 superlow kingsprings, sits on bumps and captive as.

put my 14x6.5 dunlop te on it with two brand new 185/55r14 hankook tyres and two same size hankooks off my hearts. i used this size tyres to keep wheel diameter same as standard.

i then got a bosskit and wood wheel off my mate, 

replaced the smashed passenger window it came with new one,

changed fuel cap to one i had off my very first sigma. some people may think it looks stupid but it means something to me and my mates. has a long story behind it.

then this is the breakthrough when i woke up and relised gap this rotary business and get a 4g63 motor.

so 4g63s aint cheap but i set upon finding a whole car cause i needed few other bits too.

this is when i found out my old sigma wagon was up for sale cause it was pink stickered, i pestered the people selling it for about two-three weeks before i got it for what i wanted to pay. i used the starion front suspension out of it for lancer as it had good brakes and superlow e30 bmw springs that were cut. un fortunately the driveshaft was too long and gearbox shifter hit the tunnel in lancer.

so thanks to damien i got a ex lancer driveshaft.

i got a l200 box and removed rear housing to swap shifter shafts over onto my sigma box.

also had to make adaptor plate for gearbox crossmember to bolt to gearbox.

so now it runs thanks to dave giving me a hand with engine swap.

it is low, slow and looks super sweet.

im not finshed with it yet  as i still want to do alot more to it once money alows.

my bigger dreams are for me to know and you guys to find out once i do them

next on list is a wof and rego. 

my personal wof list so far 

-fix exhaust leak

-fix window squirters

-brakes need attention as get stuck on sometimes.

- shave bumpstops to give more travel

and pics....

old engine 1.6litre

new engine 2.0 litre

should have taken tarp off caravan, then parked crowns in pics for lols

update time, progess is happening on this....

so after going on a trip to napier and getting all spare parts for crown off mr seedy al i searched through parts and found, brand new inner tie rod ends and good condition balljoints. also theres all origanil bumpstops and springs shocks etc.

so today replaced lh inner tie rod and lh lower balljoint, next thing to do is put standard bumpstops and sway bar in for wof spec. cert can wait i just want pink sticker gone for now and it legal for nats

watch this space......

chur

yes 14s are super sweet man, and hubbies are so gangs, i rekon even 12slot falcoon wheels will look sweet on a crown.

for front i used, starion shocks/brakes with e30 bmw superlows minus one coil. was off bumps and rode soo nice, was under 100mm on small wheels though. for rear i just cut springs cause i had plenty of spares.

sooo far, put exhaust and intake manifold on, put thermostat housing on with new gaskets i made, built a distributor out of two that were fully stripped, put headlights, new grill and parklights in.

also got some 15x8 0 offset wheels off a mate, theyre cheap knock offs but theyll end up getting curbed up if my mrs is driving so algood.

also straitend front bumper brackets and put it on.

picture dump.

discuss away here....

cheers man

yeah i was wondering if the round lights were off a carina wagon.

ive got a rear bumper and few spare panels just havent bothered to put them on yet.

got a ke70 wagon for cheap as its in parts, needs a decent paint and put motor together etc. fairly rust free from what ive seen just a few hori repair jobs need tidying up

doing this up for my mrs to buy off me once she sells her car so she will also be involved in the work

fairly standard just 4k with extractors, lowering blocks, lowering springs.

spray can paint job, blacked out interior.

wiring around motor was mess, so stripped it all out and put in another loom. much better now.

pics will be up soon

if you wired wrong the electronic points gap part can get buggered, had problem with my l200 van when swapping motor and wired in wrong took me a while to realise what was going on.

haha yeah know what you mean, not the best idea but i hate high cars, although i do have plenty spare springs to bring back to wof standard.

too me that sounds expensive but i am a cheap person. could almost buy adjusties for that much.

cant remember how much shorter but i think i had a comparison photo on my wagon build thread ill try find a link. and starions have better brakes so i think its a good upgrade, i paid $250 for a pair of front starion struts with brakes springs etc in good condition just to give you idea what theyre worth.

cheers guys

its actually interesting how many people like the interior i do get the odd hater but theyre probly just jelous lol

ive got a list of part numbers ill try find sheet for you man cheers heaps. my mate who has my old green sedan crown is also after some suspension bushes so ill see what he needs and get everything at once.
