fryup Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 How much do you want to spend on an engine? Mate has a green bros 13B PP hes trying to get rid of, 300hp atw. Would be a weapon in a starlet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell'orto Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Was going to say, 13B PP plz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Better get used to putting your hazard lights on while facing the wrong way if you do. what diff is it running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazlyf Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Its not certed but all work has been done at shops to cert standrard car already has dshaft hoop, fuel pump, d shaft, g box and eng mounts and most wiring. Im only looking at spending about $2000 on a engine setup as Ive previously brought several decent rotary engines round this price and had lil problems, been round rotars alot in ozzy and nz so know what to look for when buying a second hand one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazlyf Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Better get used to putting your hazard lights on while facing the wrong way if you do.what diff is it running? Lol standy dif at mo - guy i got it off was driving round piha with 13b 5 speed, standy open dif on the 12s I thought I was crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyteler Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Well, biscuits and 12's aren't about to provide any real resistance so it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Must have been in it for the noise. The bottom has fallen out of the rotary market so a fair few "fresh rebuild bought for a project" motors going cheaper than they should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think NZ has HIGH mazda tax it seems if its rotary Nzers want the world for it - In ozzy Rotarys and old mazdas are just that, another old car and as such ya can get them alot cheaper (man i miss ozzy ) But your right the rotary market is settleing down and becoming alot more reasonable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 I blame trademe for its initial boom. Everyones rx3 was worth slightly more than the last one advertised and it compounded till it got ridiculous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mazlyf Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Sweet N13 A-framing action. The sentra was in struggle town up some of the hills especially out of Piha but the 1.3 Litre pulled the light starlet sweet as! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombsquad Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Ha have you got the MAZLYF number plate now? also cool starlet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mazlyf Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Ha have you got the MAZLYF number plate now? also cool starlet I DID have that plate but sold it when I went to ozzy seen a few cool plates on trades but want to get the running gear first - then the mags sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Oh sweet, you got it! Let me know if you need a hand finding any bits man. There was a hilux diff set up for a starlet for sale a while ago... Wonder if anyone ended up buying it. Either that or an F series would be strong enough for either engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what engine i get im keen to get hilux lsd setup - Im cheap thou ill almost wait until one pops up on trades rather than paying out heaps getting it done myself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidian Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 shit looks like an absolutely epic tow mish. if it were me id look at getting a 13B front cut from TM, was cheap enough a couple of months back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danger Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 13bt would be a lot more effort though. More space required, piping, wiring, bolt ons and you'd have to change front cover and gearbox mount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
