im sorry but my AE92 takes the cake

Sorry to go off topic, but whatever, my Sister was considering an AE92 as her first car, which I am all for, I cant count the amount of ppl who praise the name of these corolla's.

The only thing that I wasn't overly thrilled about was the fact that it has a carby.... is it worth spending a bit more for the AE93 to get fuel injection??

Any advice appreciated :)

haha no i didnt mean it as a bad thing... well.. i dunno :)

i bought my AE92 off a female owner who had it involved in several minor crashes.. she had owned it for 5 years and NEVER serviced it... I paid $300 for it with rego, and i changed the oil.. which was like sludge, changed the plugs and various other things.

Ive owned it for over a year now and its never let me down apart from a front brake line splitting and causing me to hit a tree and unable to stop.

all in all ive spent 200 on it. and it is THE most reliable car. its got fantastic air con, heating, power steer, and its efi.

however it looks like the biggest heap of shit on the fact of earth :)

I thought the AE92's were all carby.. and the AE93 had the EFI ?

nah. the Diff between a AE92 and 93 is trim spec mainly.

theres the base model, carby with drum rears, then mid spec, which is 4afe efi with drum rears, and then ae92 seca which is 4age and 4 wheel disk

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
