_FNQ_rolla_

:oops: what I should have typed is , “I did not see it anywhere in your thread” Thanks for getting back to me Once again all the best :thumbsup:

Hi there, I did not see it anywhere but what auto are you running. Well done with the 9’s

Mate if you are serious about this conversion have a look at this Have we got a deal for you You know you want to :devil:

Looks like you have a clean looking rolla there Rowie. All the best with your plans

Thank you, The paint is a little tired (a couple of little scratches here and there but thats last on my list to do)and i do think the shiny wheels work well with the colour. BUT it still has the 3K and an auto (but stay tuned as i have big plans for that department over the next 6 months) :devil:

Just Love these little Rotaries, they are just TUFF. Pity about the cars being smashed up (not many around), but at least no one was injured.

So what's next on the “Things to do list.â€

Looking sweet

Sorry to crash the thread and I do not want to start a new one but will the T50 gearbox mount fit a W5* box

The weather is best between April to September, otherwise the heat and humidity might be a little too much

Now here’s a thought :lolcry: , Maybe next year we could have the Queensland Rolla Club dinner in Cairns and they can all fly in or drive their rolla’s up.

I'm pretty sure the car is in Perth and last time I checked on Google Earth Canberra is a Bloody long way from Perth. (just teasing ya mate) :wink: But hey, I too would like to see this thing in the metal. Builds like these do inspire others when it all seems like too much (I'm hoping I will be at this stage in about 6 to 8 months time. Keep up the great work

I'm glad that you saved this old girl and by the looks of it I think she will scrub up alright in your hands. All the best with her

looking good, keep us up to date with it

Happy Birthday Trev, hope you have a good one

You poor bastard Firstly you turn up in a "FORD" to a Rollaclub dinner meet (I would have parked the Ford around the corner and walked the rest) Just joking I can imagine what you feel like. I wish we could have something like this up here in Cairns (people keen to get together to chat about there rolla’s) Next year when I finish the engine I would like to come down (me and the rolla) to meet a few people and check out some of the cars in Brissy, go on a rolla cruise and have a run at Willowbank.

Just a bit of an update. This week the engineer came to town and inspected and tested the brake upgrades. I had no idea what he was going to do, so I just prep it as if it was going for a roadworthy. The engineer was inspecting the following. On the front Toyota Corona struts Toyota Crown MS65 hubs Honda NSX 298mm vented front disc (DBA # 486) Custom made adaptor for caliper to strut VT commodore twin piston front calipers On the rear Ford EL 299mm rear disc (DBA #133) Custom made adaptor for caliper to diff R31 Nissan rear calipers Custom made hand brake cable to suit Master cylinder The above had to have a brake master cylinder that was suited to the upgrades so a 1inch master cylinder from a VN V8 (PBR) bolted up nicely to the master cylinder which worked fine (the proportioning was fine). So what did the engineer do.... 1. Popped the bonnet and checked everything corresponded with the vin 2. Onto the hoist, going over everything (looking at bolt grades ~ I used 10.9) (this went on for about 30minutes or so and being asked a few questions) 3. Testing the brakes at different speeds 60, 80 & 100kms while being connected to a machine that recorded; speed (build in GPS) how much force was used to depress the brake peddle, the stopping G-force, how level the car was under braking, the time and distance the vehicle took to stop and it could also print out a graph (this is one clever little machine). Under hard braking the average force was 1.2 G’s. The engineer was happy with it all and I got my mod plate for the brakes. Now I can move onto the engine mods :devil:

I would like to see this when it is all bolted up (hopefully before it is in the car) Keep up the great work

Hi there, Could you post a few more pictures (different angles) of your engine mounts as i want to start on making up a set for mine. Thanks

What did I do for the master cylinder was to change the Factory Toyota PBR ¾ bore to a Holden VN V8 1 inch bore which bolt onto the standard booster and they work fine. Below the Factory Toyota PBR ¾ bore 30+ years of crap in the reserve Below Holden VN V8 1 inch bore

Have you got that motor back? :hmm:

I have bought some replacement rubbers about 4 months back form Phil’s Rotary (I know I am slack but it’s on my list of things to do) I never knew that you could buy the little chrome strips, here I was thinking that I would have to use the old busted ones. Thanks Keep up the great work

Its back on the road after 4 months :dance:

Have a look at this site under the second heading 4A-GE 16V / 4A-GZE / 4A-GE 20V Specifications and Data http://www.club4ag.com/ all the best

Thanks for the fast reply
