AE71 + JDM 4AGE

[anastasios]

Hi all,

Seeing as I have been around for years I thought I may as well put up a thread of my 71.

My goal is to get to as many events as possible and keep the car on the road.

I have competed recently at a hillclimb in Canberra and had a ball, next is marulan on the 21st of oct

engine is a jdm 4age bigport with jdm ecu and extractors
fuel tank is jdm 86

both supplied by just jdm

installed engine how i got it, only thing i had to do was have the injectors cleaned/rebuilt and it actually goes really well!

also bought brand new trd rear shocks and springs through streeter and running bridgestone gymkhana 4 way adj fronts (standard stroke though)















tried to remove pin in dizzy so i could rebuild it using kit from kblox

did this



so now waiting on a dizzy from NZ so i can get her running again

Looks good, something different other than drifting!

Yea its more fun imo, you are competing against the clock/other cars in your class rather than the opinion of someone

i will take it to a couple drift days though.

Cool car, u gunna do more events in Canberra? How much the trd's cost new?

[anastasios]

for 8/6 race spring non coilover type and rear race 8 way shocks $700

As im still waiting on dizzy....i noticed the dizzy cap is melted/charred from the exhaust and being a jdm ae86 engine does not come with a heat sheild.

So i bought a toda heat shield, fits perfectly and should offer protection to the dizzy cap

[joeschmo_57]

What suspension do you have in the front?

[anastasios]

TRD 8kg springs non coilover type,
standard length bridgestone potenza gymkhana kyb 4 way adj inserts in ae86 struts with JDM brakes.
stock ae71 strut tops, ke55 lca,
custom castor rod for less squirm under braking by bilstein/heasman steering

I was planning on using a TRD shock and cutting the strut to the correct length but when i bought the struts the kyb shocks were in them and the seller did not know and i thought id kill them first.
