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?

    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
    • Plan B? Get someone to machine up a metal bush/collar/whatever it needs to be to replace the rubber? I haven't had a close look at that part recently to have a proper feel for whether that's possible. But it might be easy.
    • I do not want to install a short shifter and the only other stock throw shifter I have seen is the Nismo "Rigid shifter" for $290 So plan A is to fill it with sikaflex to stiffen it up and hope for the best
