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.

Even it is rough, I can always strip

Disc brake rear and LSD $1000

Body and panels $1000-2000

interior and dash $500-800

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.

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?

      The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.

      But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...

      I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference

      I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:

      Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
