The "jdm" Ae71 Build Up

[seabiscuit]

about going to fiji

 

good luck with parts, you can't find them anywhere

 

you see the cars on the road but now at the wreckers, i spent 5hours going around in a taxi to wreckers/part yards and got nothing. the only thing i found was a pair of metal bumpers bars and they wanted $500 so that wasnt happen

 

there car over there are highly taxed so parts arent cheap

Did you happen to see any WHOLE cars for sale?

Did you happen to see any WHOLE cars for sale?

not on the street or anything like that

 

got a offered a complete corolla at a wrecking yard with a shit load of rust, dings, bumper bars were all bent and shit for $1000

[trav_555]

Wow really

 

Cars must be rare over there

 

That sucks, thanks for the info, ill keep an eye out for parts, hope something pops up.

 

How about other Asian countrys? are priced heavily taxed?

not sure but fiji there tax on everything, you pay like $50 fiji dollars for a meal then you get taxed 17.5% on top of that so take lots of money

 

where abouts are you going?

[trav_555]

Damn that dosent sound good at all....

 

Were going to the Coral Coast or something, its down the bottom somewhere, my sister knows, i don't.

 

Update:

 

I made a manual pedal box out of my ae71 auto pedal box today, looks sexy.

 

I'm getting a clutch pedal soon, hopefully after this weekend and i will modify it to suit.

 

And yes i have pictures, but i thought i transfered them to my computer, and i deleted them before i checked they actualy transferred, so i had wrong pictures on computer and originals not on the phone :wink:

 

And no I'm not gonna go to the workshop just to get pictures of it for you,you will all have to wait till tomorow or whenever i get down there again :lol:

 

Trust me, Its worth the wait.

 

Cheers

ooo ooo ooo show me these pictures please good sir

 

i am interested in how you did it bud :wink:

[Budowski]

very interested :wink:

[trav_555]

Ok so here are the pictures of the pedal box.

 

I need the clutch pedal, so far I'm only half happy with the position of the holes for the clutch cylinder, it loks about 3mm out to me..... i think the peice that the pedal connects to is too wide.....

 

But i need the pedal to check, and i need it to be a ke70 manual pedal.... which I'm getting off a mate anytime soon.

 

Heres pics:

 

 

 

 

 

Opinions?

 

Really want that pedal!!!!

 

Cheers

[SLW42]

how are you mounting the pedal bro if it is outside the box then it should be fine aye but if it inside the box then it will basically be the same as a ke70 pedal box

[trav_555]

Which pedal?

 

Is that how the pedal is meant to sit on the original pedal box i have? not the modified one? cause i had to bolt the pedals up myself and since ive never seen one i don't know if i mounted them right :)

I might be having a moment here but have you changed the side you mounted the clutch parts on since the pics towards the top of the page??

 

If you have you now have it all wrong.

 

Am I having a moment?? :)

 

EDIT : I'm having a moment, forget it

nice welds, the pedal is mounted inside that box thingo not on the outside like in the pic

[trav_555]

Yea Roo i figured that out when i had a second look at it today after Justin questioned it

 

Meh welds are OK.... was so thin, and i had to weld pissy thin stainless in awkward positions to the steel pedal box....

 

But it will hold I have no doubt in my mind that the welds will hold

 

I think I will use different material next time for ease of welding.

 

Nah Luke you must have been having a moment I copied it off the original pedal box i have, so its correct :)

 

Now i just need to get a pedal and make it suit my needs :D

 

Travis

[trav_555]

Alright,

 

Car is payed off, i bought one of those supercheap engine stands, got it home realised it was nt the exact one i wanted (its a T shaped one.....)

 

Anyway, it will do for now.

 

So tomorow after work, gonna pull the engine apart, and chuck it in boxes ahahaha.

 

Decide what i want to change, and well save up and change it :)

 

Only issue with time is money, so someone should buy my microtech :)

 

Cheers.
