The "jdm" Ae71 Build Up

[trav_555]

Alright started stripping down the 4age

 

I need an impact wrench, can't put it on stand till i have one, so i did what i could for an hour and a half.

 

 

 

 

And heres me and my 2 best mates, Gonna take the girl for a slide in the ae71 when its done, shes actually really into cars and if she isnt caught up by hsc is gonna help me with the ae71, she has already come down and helped abit and so has her sister :D

 

And the other lad is my best mate, helping me build it and gonna be passenger/pit man in most of the events i go to :jamie:

 

 

Yes we were bored at the Jetty so i whipped out the camera ahahahahaha, why am I not in any photos of my cars?

 

Cheers

Started doing a bit on the pedal box again, ive decided I'm going to use the auto brake pdal out of the other ke70 as the clutch pedal instead of the ke70 clutch pedal BECAUSE:

 

* Ke70 and ae71 and t18 brake pedals can be used

 

* More brake pedals thna ke70 clutch pedals, obviously

 

* Already Comes with hydraulic gear! ie the little pin and stuff!! just drill the hole again! and walla done!

 

* Also there thicker steel than the clutch pedals for some reason

 

So yes thats what I'm doing tomorow, is modifying it to fit

 

I will post pics if it goes well :y:

 

Cheers

You need the impact wrench to remove the flywheel bolts?

 

I normally just use a breaker bar and a rubber mallet. Couple of decent whacks and they loosen up. :y:

[trav_555]

I don't have a breaker bar either...... Their the ones that have a pole that you hit in on the end right?

 

I don't work in a mechanics shop, this is unusual work for the workshop.

 

Cheers.

You can use a ratchet instead, just don't use a cheap shitty ratchet as 1 hit with the ballet could wreck the ratchet mechanism.

 

Thats why I said breaker bar, but in all honesty I normally use a quality ratchet....... somebody else's quality ratchet if at all possible!!! :y:

Also i went into Coffs Harbour today to get prices for rebuild and things.

 

Quotes are being made up next week, but 160ish for a trd 0.8mm metal headgasket, I can't decide if thats expensive or not ahahhaahah!

Cheers.

Block work and new pistons - 1000-1500

headwork - 1000ish maybe more

304 cams - 250-1000

genuine gasket kit - 350-500

new parts ie water pump and shit - 200-500

any other mods i think of along the way - 0-1000

Interior:

 

f@$ked if i know about 3000+

 

so thats:

______

13,000

 

f@$k!

 

LOL

[benzo]

What are you spending $3000+ on for the interior? lol

[trav_555]

I just put that as a guess, i don't know yet.

 

Its the last thing to be done, will be stock interior until next year.

 

I was thinking Sparco steerer, Sparco seats, And then A complete white leather interior.

 

Havent decided yet, i will see how things go, Its a very undecided area.

 

What do you think about oter prices? am i being reasonable? I think i am being pretty close

 

Wait also add megasquirt $400+ tune....

 

:D I hate prices hahaha!!!

 

Travis

[benzo]

idk prices seem fair I suppose

 

although you will also need decent sized wheels and good tyres which will ad AT LEAST $2000

 

don't know why you want full white leather interior in a track car though lol

 

I have a overrated 16 year old MomoCorse 1000 Laghi VTR fixed back on AE86 rails, Nardi wheel, HKB boss, alloy Blaze gearknob and a decent Pioneer MP3 headunit with some Kenwood 6" splits for tunes and thats only just over $1000. I have no need for any more for driving...

 

Cheers, Ben.

[trav_555]

Yea i just thought might as well go all out on interior if I'm going all out on everything else

 

Its not just a track car its mostly my daily that I'm gonna take to the track very often

 

Yea i forgot wheels.

 

Darn

 

15,500 so far........(including 3000 for interior which could be a bit much i think)

 

Cheers

lol a worked 4age with 304 degree cams is gonna be very loud (as in very very loud), terrible to drive in traffic and would make the shittest daily...

 

You will be defected straight away, even if the cop is deaf you'll still get defected for sussy, wheel track etc :D

 

Cheers, Ben.

[trav_555]

Haha Do you have any sound clips of a 304 powered 4age?

 

I think if its set up right it A.) Wont be too loud, and B.) Should be able to drive in traffic.

 

Yea I'm a little bit worried about the suspension

 

I think I'm going to go a nicer stance than massive wide track stance.

 

This is the kind of stance i was aiming for, not heaps out there but still really nice:

 

 

 

I think that is reasonable

 

Also i REALLY like those rims, great dish and style :D I want :fuzz:

 

Also There are many different types of 304 cams, they have different lift and such

 

Will lift affect noise? i was thinking the HKS 304 cams that are like 8.5?ish lift. Considering stock is 7.5ish

 

Cheers

[southslide]

those rims are mk3's trav :D they are very nice wheels. and yeah thats an awsome stance :fuzz:
