Reply With Quotelove this, how is the rack an pinion conversion working out?
keen to do teh same thing to my ke18 panelvan
don't suppose you have a spare front bar you want to sell by chance??
Parts room haha - Yes those are brand new KE10 Tail lights!
Ke70 cut down cross member with stock Ke70 LCA with Ke70 struts with Ke10 top hat.. works nicely although RCA's and Custom Adjustable LCAs that are shorter are needed, so are camber top hats.
14x8 -15 SSR Meshies.. Look nice as and suit the car perfectly!

I've actually just payed for a 3SGE BEAMS motor for the car. Rack and pinion works well. I do have a few front bars. I want $300 for a mint one or I got bent rusty ones you can have for $200 but theres a few people who said they want it but haven't paid yet so yeah.. might not have anymore. Also do you know Jono in Tassy... his got a ke10 !
Saab Interceptors to be widened to 8" next week
Nice fat 205/65's
I get my 3SGE BEAMS this weekend hopefully. I picked up the Nissan S13 gear a few hours ago and plan to bolt it all in tomorrow morning on my custom LCA's... Need to cut the Spring perch off the nissan struts and modify them abit
I'm not actually sure if I'm going to use the Nissan stuff. I need to do some measurements first, make sure it works.
Either way I have to:
-Shorten the LCA
-HSD Coil over sleeve kit
Ke70:
Pros:
-Bolts in
-Its all standard
-No steering geometry issues
Cons:
-4x114.3
-Brakes are small
S13:
Pros:
-Adjustable camber
-Brakes are sorted out
Cons:
-4x114.3
How i'm going to overcome my 4x114.3 stud pattern issue for a while... I got a set of SAAB 900 1985-86 4x114.3 chasers, same as the Saab 4x108 chasers on the rear just different stud pattern so that fixes the wheels problem for a little bit. I will end up changing all the brakes later on me thinks D:
Low much?
RRRRMMMM
I really like these rims haha!
The Camber is adjustable, the spring height is adjustable, the lock is amazing and the ackerman angles are very very close to original KE10 spec. But honestly, who knows if it works until you try it. By moving the wheel up and down on the shock I've noted that theres virtually any bump steer which is a good sign.
But in all seriousness... it looks rediculous.
At the moment I'm stuck, don't have any 4x114.3 rims so the car has to sit on space savers
Shot of the Diff setup. I still got some work to do on the rear end but it is substantially easier than the front part of the car.
If i haven't mentioned... I'm putting a 3s Beams motor into the car. It's going to be sick
Any day now the halfcut should turn up
what an epic thread, nice work, good to see you getting your hands dirty, kep the updates coming!
Some JDM love yo!
ah the Saab chasers fit so nice with the nissan suspension in the front. Get my HSD sleeve kit soon... then I can actually set it at a proper ride height!
Bloody hell, nice work. Can't believe I hadn't spotted this thread until now!
I have a soft spot for KE10s...
Though you should be slapped in the back of the head for putting an illest sticker on a KE10... lol
Nice build thread.
Can't wait to see the progress
it's happened!
Thanks Nicko, Hahahahah... I love being a tosser with all these random JDM stickers, It annoys the shit out of all my mates.
going to take abit to get her in... drop the cross member... place the engine on the cross member then shape a firewall around it!
Beams + KE10 = FULL OF WIN !
It will be quick, well balanced and hopefully should steer, point and feel the same as my gearbox superkart
