Hey thanks for the reply Definately will look into what needs to be done regarding cams. I'm not really sure what is the best way to go with the front suspension setup. Was thinking S13 cross member, lca's, coilovers, the rest I'm not so sure about. Suggestions?

Firstly Id like to say hello my name is Jason and I'm new to the forum. Ok So now thats out of the way I can get to the point of my post. For a few years I have been following the progress of many Ke series drift car builds with the interest in doing my own. My local wrecker finally aquired a ok (read pretty bad) taxi yellow automatic KE70. After paying a small fee for the car including delivery I set out stripping the interior. I'm going to be updating this as a build so others can see what I have done and how I did it. I have a few requirements, they are listed as follows. Do it right but do it with budget in mind - I will be doing all the work myself. I will try not to spend money where I don't need to. I don't really know how to weld or panel beat or paint but I plan to learn how buy doing it on a car I'm not worried about wrecking. I'm doing this build with a friend and we are splitting all of the costs 50%. Build the car to adhere to cams/scrutineering rules- The car will be a track only car so I can cut costs and it wont need to be street legal. Here is the proposed parts list (if you notice anything wrong or could be better let me know) s13 SR20Det Red top Front cut (with front suspension/brakes if I can get a decent deal) Nistune of factory ecu or equivalent - This will only be needed when we want more power R33 or Z32 RB25Det Manual Gearbox and associated clutch to handle stock SR engine (for now) :) Manual conversion parts needed for change over replacement windscreen as the one in car has a hole in it- should I take this on or get it done R31 skyline diff with minispool Decent drivers seat and applicable harness Rollcage - either half or full Recommendations? Plexi/lexan windows as the drivers side ones are missing and I don't see any point in getting new ones as I would probably remove them anyway. Ba Falcon radiator and clutch fans- I have seen this installed into another car but not sure of ease of fitment. Cheap front mount intercooler- Recommendations? Will be adding pics very soon Thanks for reading. Jason

ok no worries I'll take a look. Just not too sure as where to begin to look.

So no one can help me?

As the title says I'm looking into getting myself a ke70 sedan to beging a ghetto/budget drifter project. What I want to do is make up a list of what parts I need before I start, so as to not end up buying the wrong things and have to spend the same or more again. There are a few questions: 1. What would be a better setup for the front suspension? I hear that S13 Silvia coilovers will fit with a little modifying to the LCA. Or would a complete set of AE86 coilovers be better? 2.What series 4ag would be the best value for money when it comes to a budget build 4AGTE? red top, blue top? GZE, 20 valve? I'm not really interested in rebuilding the engine JUST yet so I'm not to worried in getting a cheap ge and flogging it till it dies (mind you I have heard that you can get in excess of 150hp with a stock bluetop) 3.Which gearbox would be the most suitable for my needs (I wont be using this as a full on track car, but it will be used mainly for drift/track days) 4.Is the 4ag ECU remapable? or would I need a aftermarket one, if so then which one? I have heard good things about the megasquirt. If there is anything else then please let me know. Jason.

So whens the next update?????

i will be putting a 4agze into a ke70 soon. Before I get into working on the mechanical part of it I thought id find out what I need to do for wiring. what I need to know is what wires do I need to look for? If I was to get the ecu pinouts then what do I need to change over? I'm guessing power for the fuel pump relay? power for the ignighter/coils? what else? there's a main harness for the engine that just plugs into the car harness on a mr2 right? is there a way of just finding what things i need hooked up and tracking with a diagram? any help would be greatly appreciated
