skyline geoff just left my place, he was tryin to convince me to mount TWO 4AGE's in a side by side V shape with a sandwich gear which would send power to the gearbox. When I said no that would f**k up weight distribution he then suggested running 2 CA18DET's east west in a configuration similar to an Audi TT twin engine car, one at the front and one at the back, each driving an axle and using sensors to detect wheel rotation and delivering power accordingly.

In the end we just decided to stick to a plain old simple CA18DET mounted north-south.

Ive been trying to convince my mate to remove the black stripe from the side of that car for ages..... this might just convince him for me :)

those black rims set that colour off really well, and the lower lip.... any chance i can find out where you got it????

4age costs about $1000 with loom and ecu

4agze about $1600

4afe bottom for a 1.8L conversion $500

realising that you can just put a CA18DET and get a lot more power... priceless.

Losing the sound of a 4AG(Z)E revving its tits off? A damn shame :P

Lucien.

ae86 in a factory turbo... nah, not according to all the sales catalogues i've got.

In the US the Corolla GT-S, and in europe the Corolla Coupe and in Japan the Levin and Trueno Sprinters, all had non turbo 4AGE's and other n/a variants.

  • 3 weeks later...

nie... locally delivered like ours. I got the trueno headlights in the mail, altho I'll need the fibreglass bonnet and guards to put em on, along with a body kit.

But first I'll concentrate on getting the CA18DET into the car, get my wideband O2 sensor happening and tune the ECU along with the Bee-R rev limiter (so I dun end up blowin the engine at high rev's like chris :)). Just finished gutting the car, next step is to fill the subframe with foaming eurathane to stiffen up the body and then rivet the skin to increase rigidity. For now I'll just run with a bootlid with reduced reinforcement (ie circular drill taking out chunks of the support bars on the boot n bonnet) until I get the fibreglass bonnet n boot. I picked up a 6 point roll cage for $200 (includes bar that goes behind the dash) but I've still gotta get it from japan.

Dunno if I'll run rear strut bar as I don't want the rear to be so still that I lose traction, but I'll probably use a really heavy front strut bar.

As an added bonus I found that my car actually had disc brakes all around and a mild suspension setup (unusual for a locally delivered model that's supposed to come with drum brakes on the rears owned by an old couple.)

Found some orignal tanabe rims on a DR30 in japan, that's the exact same offset, width and nut spacing... 14" diameter by 8" wide, which should be more than sufficient.

Project's comin along nicely... nice pics too upgarage.

Craved: thanks dude! Umm the lip i got off a dude on the Toymods.org forum the email is [email protected] and they do a pretty good kit and other fibreglass goodies for the ae86.

Duncan: I sold mine for 12k but really depends as always what work was done and condition, some are priced crazily some less..

And yeah, never any turbo ones released

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
