1JZ VVTi

Would be prohibitively expensive to be reliable, and problematic for rego.

Dropping $10-15k on the 86 is pretty stupid and hardly justifiable, dropping double that would be idiotic.

I might be stupid, but I'm not a idiot (anymore)...

Sorry Mark I know that I should not say this but I love 86 drivers and I have been following your thread since day one enjoying the discussion.

Whenever I pull up at the lights next to an 86 in a Skyline or even my Stagea they seem very intimidated as soon as they hear the RB rumble next to them.

It is very amusing when I am in one of my 28 year old Mazda 626 daily's. 86 drivers are then very interested until they see me leave them in my wake as the old 626 does a great 60 foot time.

The 86 is like a Mazda MX5 - a great little nimble handling fun car. They were never meant to be a real performance car and they should be enjoyed for what they are.

I 100% agree, Toyota 86 = MX5, but, if your flippant with your money they an be "more fun".

 

Just like a 500hp Skyline is "more fun" than a 300hp one.

 

What I initially wanted was a S15, but most are trash or, in the case of a mint car low km car, like I wanted, at least 30k ish, for a old car.

If I got a S15 they are pretty slow stock, and handle average, so work would need to be done anyway, albeit alot less than the 86 to eek out some more power.

So, in the end the only cheap new RWD manual Coupes that are available are the twins.

Will I lose money, hell yeah, no where near as much as I lost with my R33 adventure though.

Right now my car is as fun as ten fun things, but everything can be improved.

As long as gearboxes are not a consumable item I will be happy, hence a supercharger, as the torque produced down low is much less than a turbo.

The weak link in the twins is the aisin.

Haha was a joke :)

1JZ would actually be super reliable.

The engine would, everything back from the gearbox though?

I've been in a couple of boosted twins, the added small increase in power makes a big difference.

Whilst the turbo had all the whooshy, the supercharger just felt so much smoother in it's power delivery.

Anyways, time to start squirreling away cash in the bottom draw away from prying eyes.

What she don't know can't hurt me...I hope...

Miss the days when you could lowball a low km good condition AUDM S15 for $13k

NSW and 'P' platers legally being able to drive the ADM version hey ;)

The amount of messages I've gotten about mine from kids in NSW is bordering on ridiculous ?

Spotted! About 9am :)

I was heading up New Illawarra Road towards Bangor Bypass in the 86 Chop machine haha 

The eldest girl got on the turps and left her car at Menai.

Obviously me and the Mrs had to go pick it up because she is to lazy to do it herself and her mum will not say no to her.

In saying that, I rarely say no to the Mrs, I might be dumb but I'm not stupid.

Car now beeps when opening and closing.

 

Well, that one of the added features.

 

The boy has a new game, how many times does it take for him to kick the tyre to set the alarm off till I throttle the life from him.

It's getting close to the winning number.....

Lololol

Need any Turbosmart or Elig or Intima stuff? I can help :)

 

Will need pads eventually, current Brembo pads are dust making machines.

Only problem is the car doesnt go fast enough to wear them out quick.

Plus I do avoid using brakes because I then need to get back up to speed, which can take a while.....

  • Like 1
  • Haha 1
  • 2 weeks later...

So, sitting at home bored looking at supporting stuff required if I do boost.

Next minute. 

I pick them up tomorrow.

And yes, they are unequal lenght I've dropped a coil/plug/cylinder design.

FULLY HEKTIC

Disclaimer: eBay and pain medication strikes again.

All I need now is a supercharger........

    • The jack pad placement always had me scratching my head. I only have a small section to work with on both the E90 and E70 (and insert new project car here ) and I could see lining it up to be a bit of a bugger. For me, the E90 is just too low and needs small ramps and then the front centre jack point is a bit tricky to line up (it's half way down the subframe and about the size of a tennis ball, its really hard to see unless your head is on the ground), so I definitely like the idea of not having to do a multi-stage jack and just sliding these bad boys in under the sides. There's only one small point at each corner, so I can't jack AND add a stand on the same corner. Or, maybe I can and I'm too nervous to try. 😟
    • Is this not the biggest deal of all? I was hoping the whole "will slide under cars with skirts etc and lift evenly quickly with minimal fuss" was the entire point of such a device? 
    • Here's Neil's car up on mine recently
    • Yeah I've got one of these, Quick Jack not Quick Lift, but your link looks like a good copy For me, it's better than no hoist, but it is definitely not as good as a hoist  It lifts the car about 60cm which is a nice working height compared to regular stands and it is only under the sills so it doesn't get in the way like regular chassis stands do.  No need to use regular stands, it has a safety lock on it. On the down side it is really heavy/unwieldy to drag into place, and you have to place it after the car is there (no option to drive the car to where the frames are. You need to try and line it up with the proper sill points which is hard as it swings up in an arc and there is surprisingly little adjustment in the distance between the rubber pads for different car lengths. Not a big deal, but in practice a jack + stands is probably quicker. Also there are hydraulic lines to each side and you need either a 240v or 12v source to power it depending on which option you have, I use 12v as I always seem to have a battery around.
    • Finally addressing my catch can and oil setup Plan is to do as much as practical without having to remove the motor or pull it apart. (no back of head to sump drain/breather or oil restrictors) First step is a set of full length baffle plates from Hypertune and a Tomei cam cap stud kit. I could probably have laser cut and bent up my own ones but this took any guess work out
