johnnyblz Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Posted May 16, 2012 Well after going through my s-chassis crisis i decided to go back to the small rwd which i love. So recently picked up this tidy granny spec 1983 Ke70 Gl Limited Edition goodness. Plans as the title suggests is to get back to where i was around a year ago when some lowlife stole my ride. With a few changes here and there. So I'm going with a CA18DET between the towers. http://corollabrotherhood.blogspot.co.nz...-ke70.html Now started the collecting of parts to get this project started. I picked up a CA18DET and Box with loom ecu etc AE86 Discbrake rear, with new bushes, bearings, rotors, rebuilt capipers and a 2way LSD to top it off Te71 Pedalbox New clutch and Lightned Flywheel Turbo Manifold Chucked a new timing belt and tensioners and waterpump on. New thermostat, clutch and flywheel fitted. Quote
johnnyblz Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Posted May 16, 2012 well for my gearbox setup once again i have put a split my ca gearbox and put the rear half of a skyline r33 gearbox onto it. the main reason i have done this is because the ca box is about 75mm longer then a rb box. in turn makes you have to chop more out of your car and hits handbrake. Plus its stronger and has mechanical speedo. also this week, i have installed my ae86 diff with some of my leftover parts that i had held onto for some reason from my old car cars almost ready to mount engine. can't wait. more stuff to come Quote
ShowUsYourTints Posted May 16, 2012 Report Posted May 16, 2012 Hey mate, What engine mounts are you using? Any chance you could knock up a second set while you're at it?m Cheers, Shazza Quote
johnnyblz Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Posted May 17, 2012 hey shazza, have grinded off crossmember mounts and building up off that. Quote
johnnyblz Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Posted May 17, 2012 Hey guys, so ive been finishing off this TE71 pedal box. At first i thought sweet its gonna work out. But then NO! 2 problems, steering wheel was out of alignment and clutch pedal hit very bottom of column. Luckily ive been speaking with a 86fiend and he sent me a link for a spacer. So i went out and brought a tap and die set and came up with this. And for the clutch pedal i got my stock brake pedal and welded it and chopped clutch pedal to suit. it feels good and in the right position unlike bending it. prety happy Also in the last few weeks ive manage to keep collecting the parts that i need for this sucker. Got stuff like exhaust, bov, gauges and most exciting of the lot, Some adjustable front suspension. They've got Wilwood 4pot calipers and vented disks, ps arms, rosejointed lower arms. Should give me enough stopping power to get cert, and its still possible to run 14's Just waiting to get engine all mounted up and then i'll have all guns blazing Quote
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted May 17, 2012 Report Posted May 17, 2012 Nice work man, will be back better than ever. Quote
johnnyblz Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Posted May 18, 2012 yeah cheers man, thats what I'm hoping. All the little things i wasn't quite happy with on the old one I'm changing about this one. Quote
