AE86DC or rollaclub are your friends.... Mine has a very basic setup... ADM sprinter front end/brakes, TRD struts, AJPS springs, modded stock R32 struts and springs cut in half, LSD (locked standard diff) Corona Lower control arms (15mm wider track, 2.5 deg camber) and new bushing in the rear end. Could prolly have a similar setup for around $1k installed..... Buy a Keto for $500, you're ready to go.

Im changing the whole setup soon....

JDM twin pot calipers and vented rotors

AJPS front coilovers w/ Bilstein adj struts, 7kg springs, Cusco camber tops,

Bilstein rear struts and AJPS 5kg springs

AJPS 35mm RCA's

Whiteline front and rear swaybars

Noltec panhard rod

Cusco Tower bar and tension rods

AE86 power steering arms for more lock.

T18 diff locked

Not cheap (Bout $2800 - $3K all up) but it'll probably handle/slide better than my R31.... all it needs is a SR20DE in it and she's ready to go...

You can also fit an entire S13 front end, using RA40 celica/910 bluebird parts.... good if you can get S13 coilovers cheap 2nd hand....

they are essentially a AE86 without takumi tax.....

Oh, ordered my new wheels today... 17 x 9 and 18 x 9.5 drifteks in white for the 31, and 15 x 8 -4 superlights in platinum silver for the '70 .... gonna look hot.

nah, havent changed my mind.... just happened to be what I wrote.... :laughing-smiley-014: 4AGE, SR20DE, N/A 13B, CA18DET... ANY of them would be spastic in a KE70

Stiill trying to sus out everything for the conversion, It's a lot more difficult than a standard 16V RWD 4AGE......

Like I said, let me know when he gets back from holidays...

And that 1st/2nd video.... those cars are exact doubles of mine LOL......

Edited by R31 drift pig
anyone know if u can get a permit to drive a defected car once it has been booked into regency and mods removed?

Yeah, go to a police station and get a clearance.... they'll come out, have a quick sus, and sign the paperwork that you can drive the car until regency or your rego runs out.

i started this project like 6-9 months ago using what i had lying about ive spent 2500 on it so far .

its ready to be started just ive given up on the car.. as my plans have changed

like fixing my r31 with rb30det and getting my r31 with sr20det going ...

    • We used Knox Drive shafts years ago when we were doing gravel rally, good guy but I heard it had changed hands? He's got a lot of stuff and is miles cheaper than GJ and so on. He used to have a lathe setup with a MIG torch on the tool holder so he could get the uni welds just right, quite a clever guy. I just got a driveshaft done for my sequential installation and that was through Balancing Services Australia in Preston, they did the Gibson cars in the old days. New genuine CV's, billet yoke, new centre bearing and chome moly shaft was $2k.
    • Thanks for sharing that mate, I've got a couple of spares on the shelf but all the unis are tight....will give old mate a shout. BTW are you sure it wasn't just a $400 paint job? Any detail of what they replaced (cut/reweld?)
    • Yeah I saw that about the US Q50 recently, apparently it was shown to Inifiniti dealers (probably to help with their depression about the cars they can sell). Seemed like a really obvious step to me, the platforms are very similar in many ways. Even if there aren't many people who actually put the money up it should really help with image/reputation. What hasn't been clear anywhere if that is a V38 model of if they are just going to add the trans as an option in a new model year. What they did with the Z from 370z to "Z" is just weird so I'd be surprised if they released this as a V38. Great news for me to have an option; it is far from confirmed that I can get any decent track sessions through the auto so having a manual I can swap to is great.
    • I ordered it this morning, I'll disassemble it post pic's and info following delivery.
