I just saw on toymods a group buy for gearbox bell housing adaptors to fit w55 box to 4a motors, so it must be an issue with the weaker T50 box as you mentioned

I may have to read a bit more on this

I was also thinking about painting the AE86 Ford blueprint to match my R33

Are going to do the same?

HEHEHE your line blueprint too? cool

yeah . i dont know for sure about those boxes .. but i wouldn't want any power going through them!

jap spec ones would be a totally different issue.

it's my mates car, but me and his brother do nearly al the work on it.. so it's getting resprayed in red.

DAYUM , rb25 with 3040 would hammer in one of those.. would love to see that car go!

apart from the clutch slave being on the opposite side they are the same. They are definitely strong enough for a n/a 20v... i have run one on my 20v for close to 3 years and it is still going strong.

cool, thats good news for Darrin ..

I am having a look at buy another ae86 this afternoon

genuine import Trueno

twin cam, P/steer, P/window, pop up head lights, disk brake LSD rar end, digital dash, white, 5 speed, air cond. complied approx 2 years ago 56,000km??

Has minor damage to front right corner

needs bonnet, head light and guard

Price $1500 ono :P

Had a look at toymods site, these things sell for approx $7000-12000.

Should be a bargin.

Even it is rough, I can always strip

Disc brake rear and LSD $1000

4age and g/box ecu $1500

Body and panels $1000-2000

interior and dash $500-800

mags $200-500

other parts $1000-2000

either way i can fix it and drive, the best option

Use the good parts in my other AE86 and sell the rest of the parts

Repair it and sell for $7000 plus

Too many options

The Trueno turned out to be a AE92 Trueno :rofl:

Never trust a women, no idea.

I have been doing some reading, the CA18det sounds like a good idea

Craved, have you got much further with yours

I have read your other posts about the conversion, It does not look too hard

Will the handbrake be fine in that location for daily use?

Why did you make a custom inlet plenum? Performance gain or install requirment.

Have you got many more pic's

Any more info would be great

other option is NA sr20de and 5 speed.

i was thinking of getting a ae86, but of course they are pretty rare here in vic, and seeing as i live about 2 hours outta melb that dont help either...

personally, i would like a sr20 redtop conversion into that beast and sha-zam! one fast little drift beast!

yeah, and i wouldnt mind if anyone knows of anyone else whos selling one eh?

-JL

Yeah there is one i found in brizvegas at banzai motorsport www.banzaimotorsports.com.au but it doesnt have a price listed for it.

y0 craved, my engine mount for the CA18 seems to be showin some stress due to engine twist. My fault I guess for doin some ghetto welds :) How much is the full engine and gearbox mount kit from where you got it?

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
