Yeah soon,

Car is painted,

but

Dealing with seperation stuff with ex inc. kids, so this will absorb a little time.

It will however release a whole bunch of $$

A little lost, a lot gained.

the colour seems to make the chrome work standout, which was the plan all along you see.

Toyota pics coming when the car arrives in 7 days.


No mucking about here.

Start at the easier end for now.

Take out rear subframe

[ img ]

[ img ]







Bushes for subframe to body need swapping over
Easiest to do them now...

[ img ]








diff bushes need to be sourced and chucked in

[ img ]


[ img ]









rear brakes need completing, been rebuilt, just a quick spray and in.

rear lower arms could do with a strengthen. Its a gaijin copy of the Nismo options. Very high tech stuff this cardboard.
Since Ill get a local engineering shop to press in/out the bushes, they can weld up some plate to the lower arms until such time as the TIG turns up.

WARNING

THESE ITEMS ARE NO LONGER OEM GENUINE NISSAN ITEMS

VIEWERS BEWARE

Before,
sophisticated templates cut out with kids snips,
welded in using 2mm plate
paint applied

Had to press out one bush again so it didnt melt out

I believe Ive spent more on this rear end than a 2nd hand skyline complete...ergh.

Subframe bushes in - Autolign in Carbine Rd
Good fast service, cheap prices.

Diff mounts are not listed under ER34, but S14 Silvia, but fit well.

Rear end shoved together with little love.
Some bolt threads stripped from panelbeater/painters lack of love.

Ill need to replace a few of them
Might even need to get that one camber arm the right way round, doh.

Dug up the rubber trim that heads around the FAKE super wide ZG arches and gaurds
also used the clips that cover the screws, looks pretty tidy.
Could do with a minor adjustment later.

While AUtolign were sweating over the bushes,

I mucked around with the rear end.
Need plenty of parts, rear lamp rubber gaskets, straighter lamp garnish? panels etc.
Decided to keep the original rego plates, look period.
Rego still live, smart boy...

Stainless roof channel chrome given some lovin and clipped in

Cant wait for the xmas break, there should be a bunch of progress,

but,

my new ride has arrived after a fun weekend road trip around the North Island of the country dodging cops and other nutters on the road.

Now please pardon the shift in brand.

Ill have a link some stage soon to the appropriate site for the continuation of this cars build and development.

Its a 1973 Toyota Celica Ta22
It has a 4cyl 2.0l engine from a ST215 Caldina GTT (the ugly station wagons).
Engine is totally stock internally.

All power adders are external.

The chassis has heaps of work done to it, coil overs Bilstein and Carrera rears.
Camber, castor plates, bushes, Evo 8 brakes, LSD...

It has 400hp at the rears, it weighs complete all fluids/fuels 1060kg.
TD06-25G turbo, 800cc injectors, Link G4 ECU, Elec water pump, elec boost control etc...

It will teach me plenty about what driveability Im after in the zed.
This car requires some work before Im completely happy with it.

Car is completely legal and engineered.




Collection location
Not ready for the PepperTree just yet

Just to state the obvious, I didnt build this car. I bought it as is.
I will start mucking about with it. It will be kept driveable while I put the zed together.








Other random car shots that were in the same location as the collected TA22,

FD3S race car 550hp @ wheels,

[ img ]



Corvette, engine blew up soon after purchase, go figure...
1UZFE & GT35R would work well....

[ img ]




To replace the love of the TA22, try a Datsun 1200 instead,
12A PP, mid mounted, flat floor = lovely car!

Since owning the Toyota, I have been driving around like a hooligan.

I was chasing a motorbike - newish CBR1000 from Kopu to Hahei turn off, before the tick tick time bomb went off, 20kms later (100m before the Whitianga town sign) the rod from cyl 1 went through both sides of the block spitting sufficient oil out to cause a fire on the turbo side.
I put the fire out with cabin mounted extinguisher and drank the three cold beers still in storage on the back seat.

The biker was in some shock as to what the f**k was following him at those speeds.

I had to laugh so as not to cry.

Engine out, new 2 piece rotors and new pads ordered, new engine arriving this week, light flywheel etc etc. It should be together by next weekend.



SO now that car 3 is down, back to car 2.
Now the GF has flown the coup, I have no more excuses.

Begin then!










Thanks Glenn Martin for the crane ! Enjoy the vinos and the smelly nappies!







All I need in the garage that reads over 30 deg Celsius in the day












Note the welded up water pump, it runs the housing but nothing inside. The electric pump same as the toyota will do the pumping and job of the thermostat.
New cambelt, idlers tensioners etc. Timing needs looking at later.












Apparently good for 400ps, we will see about this. Copper mix, should be driveable though.
Light Cro-mo flywheel from Japan
Replace and clean up thrust bearing and fork in gbox completed
























We have a problem. As per usual, change one thing buggers up everything else. Im sure I said this before. The new frame rails had a slight kink in them increasing the overall width between them. The new ones dont, so the radiator needs to be chopped and re-welded at the lower end. Thanks Hayley for the welder use approaching. More wine required.





























The above shots and work were completed over a period from 8am until 4am on the zed. One long drunken shift.
The toyota will absorb some time this week when all the parts turn up so wanted to fulfill the promise of getting the engine in the zed at least before going back to work Monday.

Happy New Year to all, make the most of it, life is short.
