Not that rough on cold start, though it doesn't get cold up here. after a freeway run it is very rough. Tightened manifold bolts and changed points and it has stopped stalling, though it is running very rough. New leads next, if that doesn't fix it then I will chuck on twin SU's I have or maybe just one.

Pics! we need pics!

spilled coffee on myself when I seen this. hahahahaha.

exaust = loud rust = quite abit might be a too low, nothing removing blocks can't fix. you'd be keen to take my car on. It needs some radio-therapy/kemo(sp?) for the rust.

wana swap haha

Looks the goods mate, nice and tidy car

I'm half interested in getting one. Would love a pano or wagon for surfing/camping trips.

Getting my jacket and driving to Melbourne now haha

Looking great now with the white walls all done evan :y:

+1. same with me.

Lots of wd40 and a long pole to fit over the end of your spanner for a bit of extra leverage. I'm assuming your removing the whole wiper assembly as one or both or your wipers has stopped working? Just did this in my 55 as the plastic ball joints finally gave in. Pm me for details if so. Cheers, Crowie.

Seeing all those snapped gears reminds me of chillin's mishap. Snapped every gear clean off the pinion wheel. mmmmm Kelloggs gear-flakes :P

Oh how I can relate to this! Priorities, don't buy stuff unless you use your own money. Not mine... cheers kents.

Looks great when it's almost all together. Deffs need to go for a cruise when this beast is up and running. cheers, Crowie

yes and yes. 0.45mm and 46 degrees

I've wiggled and fiddled with almost everything on the car to try and fix it, I changed the solenoid over and checked if it worked, wiggled it a few more times. Seems I might have a similar problem to ac17 "Do I have a Carb problem".

Not a head gasket, oil and water not mixing. Have checked for vacuum leaks but can't find any, coil is locked in tight and not arching. I'm starting to think it is carby related? Carby was off a working car for 12 months then just chucked on. Will be booking it into see someone asap, as I am totally over it.

Hey guys, My ke55 started to run rough a couple of days ago. On Start up the car idles fine, drive off and at low rpm's (2000-3000) in gear the car sounds like it is missing/spluttering. Stop at a set of lights and put the clutch in and it dies. I did a search yesterday and found a possible problem (fuel solenoid) changed that over to another one I have, new plugs, new dizzy cap, and rotor button, cleaned the points(bought a new one but haven't put it in yet.) Car accelerates well, though when I back off the engine sounds like it is only just going due to engine braking. Carby was changed just over 2 months ago to a working model off my previous car, fuel filter is new(3000km). I am going to buy some carby cleaner tomorrow and put it through. New leads have also been ordered. I am lost and don't know what it could be. Cheers for any help in advance, and Merry Christmas, Crowie.

Love the paint work on the 5k, hope its heatproof though otherwise all your hard work will be in vein. cheers, Crowie

Change the top hat over to the original factory one, and you should be right.

I'm on the Gold coast mate, an hours drive before I even get to the cruise. So we're in the same boat. I don't even know if there are RC members on the GC. Hope to see you on the next cruise so I can see your ubber sick 70! (permitting neither of us has commitments). cheers, Crowie PS: Was a sick night a few 70's there, lots and lots of silvia's and skylines, will hopefully get some pictures of my mate soon and post them up.

chillin, mum and me. haha If you were at the JDMST meet last night you would of seen us... but nooooo.

Love this thing it's so different. Equips look great :y:

me and my brother will be there!

Eh Hem!
