NicT Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 DISCUSS SHIZ! viewtopic.php?f=18&t=18078 I know i dont post very much on oldschool but i defiantely read it alot. My favourite part is reading the project threads so i thought id post up my shit just for everyone elses interest. Bought this last september :s Was going to fit it to an RX60 Cressida but it turns out the steering box doesnt want to have a bar of it... My other lady Should have kept this and done a 1JZ conversion instead, was a bloody tidy shell. Minimal rust. Engine pulled down the same day we picked it up Megasquirt Being a toyota man it seems blasphamis to fit these to my car but they are so sooo cheap What replaced the RX60, busted MZ10 MS Progress Old wheels that wouldnt fit my brake setup so had to sell Engine in I didnt even bother cleaning the engine bay which i should have. Car is intended to be a beater. I dont intend to ever sell it, and if it ever leaves my hand its on the back of a tow truck to go to the scrappy. Lovely Lady again Sexy Ass Brake Setup and coilovers Cheap as chips S13 coilovers. Also done: - Machined 4140 Chromoly Sleeves for My front struts, need to be threaded and welded to my stub axles - Nolethaned the whole front of my car (D bushes, caster arms, LCA's, swaybar linkages) - Made a gearbox mount from narm - Rebuilt the motor (cambelt, tensioners, waterpump, idlers) All done now. - Designed a oil relcator to replace my oil filter mount (will upload photos later tonight) - Designed a way to mount my rear adjustables without needing to cut anything (maybe able to do a solution to fit any spring/strut style coilover into the rear of a dirty old toyota will also upload photos later tonight) - Finished drivers side headers, almost finished passanger side ones (4 - 2 - 1) Side note. I decided 1 project wasnt enough and i just wasnt poor enough i have bought a 1GGTE for the crown. ECU, loom, block, manifolds. Deicded to pull it down to have a look and it wasnt pretty. So it pretty much needs a complete overhaul. New rings, HG, mains, big ends, valve stem seals, cam belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicT Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Rear shock setup The Orange/Bronze pieces are the bits i designed. They replace to top spring cap and turn the shock so it runs upside down. This means the Adjustable section clears everything, and the strut casing goes up inside your chassi and mounts to the strut towers. This design is based on S13 NPC (same as BC's) coilovers and use the exsisting rear parts that mount to the bottom of the hub carriers. (having heaps of mind blanks tonight of part names) This part replaces the 1uz oil filter assemble that hangs off the block. In its place will be this with 2 FPR fittings for oil lines that will go to an oil relocator. This aprt still uses the factory oil seal and is made from Aluminium. The second part is to replace this 1uz part to clear the sway bar im my MZ10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicT Posted November 1, 2009 Author Share Posted November 1, 2009 Sump time, and alternator bracket. Sump welding Main sump with baffles, oooooo Alternator bracket/engine mount the beast. You wouldnt know it by looking at it, but a dummy block/head and gearbox are still in this thing... Plans now to linish down the main sump bowel and outsides of the main section, weld the bowel to the sides, leak test, turn up some internally threaded section and weld for sump plug and oil return for turbo.

NicT Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Sadly as with all things, i saved the best welds for last Was sick today, so decided to finish my sump, grind up the edges to make them look nice and internally weld the sump pan to the rest of it. Might internally weld the entire sump for that extra oil resistant protection. PHOTOGRAPHS!! Next time i will tig it. Missed out on a tig welder on trademe too. Was sorting funds to buy it and SNAP someone hit buynow from under me Ah well, needed the money for a turbo anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NicT Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 Havent done a bit of an update in a while, but have done a bit of work. My car has taken a couple of days off while i work on something for my old man. Been busy busy, but making a turbo manifold for my dads GT4 So i started hacking up my manifold to fit my t25 flange, and had a look around and thought F*#$ it. Heres todays results. the collector took my 3 hours just by itself, but its worth it. Still needs a little love but you get the idea. Just clears oil filter. My second steampipe manifold, tig welded boyaa Lonely dummy block ready to come out. Will have radiator support, and sump pickup finished by end of weekend, then off to coromandle for the week, then back to put my engine in and start plumbing it up. Have GZE ecu, injectors, loom so should have it running sooner rather then later... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
