sNoOkDoG Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Posted March 10, 2011 haha alright, i knew they had the same bore and the difference was in the stroke, but i wasnt sure if there were any random differences in block weight. cheers Quote

SLO-030 Posted September 21, 2011 Report Posted September 21, 2011 Keen to see it all happening Will. If you need a hand n shit, drop me a message :cool: Quote
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 Nice car man. Really cool motor choice too. :cool: Quote
benhachi Posted September 22, 2011 Report Posted September 22, 2011 Nice car mate! I got the steering arms off of that guy! :P how are you going about putting coilovers into yours? I'm at this stage now also. But I'm 1 step ahead with the 2t/3G hybrid :) are you getting te27 camber tops? Ben Quote
sNoOkDoG Posted September 23, 2011 Author Report Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) cheers ryan and ben, I'm going to find some ae86 ps arms and get an adapter for the ball joint off of techno toy tuning. ke25 and te27 camber tops are exactly the same and cusco do a pretty good one for $350. I'm jealous that you got those te27 steering arms, that would have been nice, I'm not sure how the lengths of the te27 arms compare to the 86 arms. other than that, I'm buying all the parts like coilover sleeve and springs and weld it all together myself. as far as brake boosters go, i have no idea, they confuse me haha so ill probably end up just paying someone to do that for me and id say your a few steps ahead of me seeing as my motor is in bits haha also the head is no longer yellow like in the pics above!

Once you get defected, they seem to pay more attention to you. Quote
Tally Posted October 4, 2011 Report Posted October 4, 2011 thats not good to hear man, not the only ke25 to get defected in Adelaide lol, is it regency or cop shop? my brown ke25 is on par with yours condition wise, and no way will it get through regency how it is at the moment Quote
