Upgarage.. where are you located? looks like sydney in the photos! i have seen a sprinta similar to that colour at my mechanics... but i think that was gonna use a 20v or std 4age with side draft webbers etc..

that was gonna use 6pot brakes and stuff too!

have you sprayed the outside of it yet? are you using for street or just drag/track?

Looks like I will be getting a daily driver AE86 and leaving the r33 gtst in the garage

AE86 comes with met brown faded and flaking paint, white bonnet, rust in the tail gate and a blown head gasket

Has 5 speed and Air cond :)

$300

Have not decided what engine to put in

My last car was a AW11 MR2 with black top 20v and motec M4 but cost got too high. I think I will put a 20V silver top and factory ECU.

so you want a N/A engine in it? There was a pink AE86 drifting at wakefield on the weekend, NA 4age .. was going good but something broke, needed more power fo the long, high speed corners.

what price can you get the 20V with gearbox and loom for?

I have not started looking for a engine yet

My blacktop 20V in a front cut and auto box with 13,000km cost me $1850 about 6-7 years ago. Was only about a 12 month old motor at the time. It took me 6 years to get the MR2 on the road (got married and bought a house :) )

Silver tops are anywhere from about $600-700 plus

I will probably use the box that is in the car and just get a complete 20v with ecu and afm for approx $1000

not progressed coz its a low priority...

we're spending some time recently trying to use the old engine that we took out of the car (4ac) gonna make a blow through carby turbo, with the carby housed in a pressure chamber to avoid fuel backflow. plus some thick head gaskets and piston shaving to reduce compression should see a nice engine ready for another AE86 shell :)

what about reinsforcement of the float so it doesn't implode ... prety sure i've heard this happen on blow through systems.

do you trust the gear set for the 4ac to cope with that power..

same thing for you Darrin.. i dont think the gearbox from the 4ac will handle the 20v 4AGE power and revs etc.. i havent looked into it, but wouldn't think so from looking at the one we took out of the sprinter here!

The gearbox should be OK

The 20v only has about 120kw at the engine and not alot of torque

13 years ago i had a TA22 celica with a worked over 3TG twincam a that had more power and torque than the 20V. They use the same gearbox.

That box lasted over 2 years of constant thrashing (I was 19 :) It did eventually break 2nd gear. Went of the wreakers and bought another $250 g/box

If I was to turbo the 20v then i would start to be worried about the box.

      Drivers R32 GTR seat

      By mtopxsecret6 · Posted

      Hi everyone, just looking to see what's available in the GTR seat options, testing the waters on what's available. Wanting a driver's seat to replace my old school OG jap race seat, going to re-register the car so need a factory seat. Prices currently seem to go from $300 to $2k for a driver's seat. What's options are there, that's good condition and actually a realistic price? Located Brisbane. Thanks

      Are these a plug and play setup, and do they need a tune, like a haltech ecu etc? Thanks

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      Been over 2 months since I have done anything on the S15 and had a day off today so got stuck into mounting the radiator and intercooler. I ended up using factory bottom mounts as bolted in and I did order some gktech top brackets but didn't work with the PWR radiator so made up some with aluminium flat bar. Spent way to long on them but pretty happy how they are. Next job was the intercooler. Used some more aluminium flat bar and did the bottom mounts first. Top was easy as just one long piece and 2 90 degree coming off rad support and welded them on. The bumper support required some notching to let the outlets sit where I want so will add some reinforcement later to strengthen it. I have also bought ecu and waiting for it to arrive. Went with a Link g4x Xtreme but will be adding a ptmotorsport expander to add a few extra inputs over CAN. Went through a few different configurations on pclink to get what I want to allow future expansion for sensors and gearbox upgrades. Ordered gktech rear arms but looking at the hardrace lower control arms to have some extra adjustment too will see how the alignment looks after first setup. Got 2 more weeks of work before shut down and will have almost 4 weeks to work on this so planning on hopefully firing up mid January.   Also bought a 2015 brz with a heap of good gear, did noosa hill climb a month back. Owned it for 3 days changed alignment and sent it. Finished the weekend 2nd in class and only .3 off the 180sx best time last year. MCA Red coilovers, gktech rear lca, bolt on lock kit and tie rods, whiteline toe arms, cusco 1.5way diff and 4.5 ratio, endless brake pads, headers, exhaust, perrin intake and e85 tune. Electronic steering adjustment, nankang crs with koya wheels 17x9 +35. Have bought rear traction arm and relocation kit, extended studs and v3 tie rod kit. Planning on also getting flex tune as lucky to get 300km a tank with e85 and short ratio. Car is a heap of fun to drive and super easy to work on. AC in the line up at Noosa was mint in 35degree weather.
