well most of the running ka's go quick or are sold fast
alot of the times the motors are just blown or something wrong like headgasket
Nice idea for the mount... I'll have to try that one...
i just mounted the driveshaft/ trans mounts.. the welded them together with some plate lol. tacked em on the car, pulled off to finish the beads
its like my 4th trans mount. the rubber shit falls apart
just remember to oval out the holes... hard to get a solid mount perfect

SlickS12 on 12:26:49 PM / 29-Nov-10What do you mean? Pictarrs? (duh, found them)
The rubber on my mount is basically trash, wanting to try window weld on it. The bad thing is that means the car has to park for a couple days grr.
What did you put in between the two parts of the mount (where rubber used to be) a metal piece of some kind?
Does using grease/wet paper + hammer + socket to remove an auto bushing damage your thrust bearing?
Malcolm on 08:12:32 AM / 01-Dec-10Does using grease/wet paper + hammer + socket to remove an auto bushing damage your thrust bearing?Only if you do it wrong. by wrong meaning not having a good seal and end up bottoming the socket out before the bushing comes out.

You swap too fast, it makes me jealous. I'm interested to hear your opinion on going from SR to na KA after the event.
considering ka cranks are unbalanced to begin with...i kind of doubt it matters what transmission is behind them.
sam31183 on 01:17:39 PM / 01-Dec-10considering ka cranks are unbalanced to begin with...i kind of doubt it matters what transmission is behind them.All KA cranks are externally balanced.
all nissan cranks are externally balanced arnt they?
i mixed up balancing and counter weighting....sorry,my mistake.
i think im selling all my sr stuff to a friend, and going to get a 1jz from JEI this winter
Do it
go big or go home... 1UZ-FE+R154 and call it a day! lol
i dont know alot about 1jz's. i just like looking at them, and hearing them
plus, gotta get a feel for a 6 cylinder, ive about gotten alot of the nissan 4 cylinders in there already in this car
Dude, go for it! lots of old corolla's swap SR's so why not swap a JZ into its twin car the s12?? haha. as for 6cyl their alot of fun, easier to get power and sound sicker. in my opinion the RB26 and 2JZ are my fav import engines to hear revv to the limiter~!! :yay!: :yay!:
1Jz's sound sooo sick. Actually been thinking about one for quite some time
i love the way 1uzs look for some reason. I am sure a 1jz s12 would be win....but you + a ka = awesomeness because you seem to be able to beat on kas until the cows come home with zero issues.
If you dont bounce kas off the limiter in 2nd all the time it seems they last a little bit longer lol
sold my head and both manifolds for 1k. getting payments from a friend.
:)
I've got an 87 Supra Turbo you can buy. Lol. Start small with a 7M, then work up to the 1JZ.

You forgot the differential, BTW
buy my vg crossmember.
Yeah, I realized that after we were about 20 miles out. cheesy
I said it before and will say it again... 1uz with a r154 and call it a day...
P.S. totally agree with you on the 7m HG... worst thing toyota ever did... before their prius brake deal...lol
Doubt it's going anywhere anytime soon. It got put back on the "shelf-o-diffs"
Say that out loud. It's kinda fun
i have heard you just need to torque the 7ms beyond factory spec to keep the headgaskets from popping...but, then again, not my favorite yota engine.
I got one of those! It has an old disassembled R180 and a WRX VLSD R160.
i would be more worried about the snow breaking the floor/ceiling and flooding your apartment.
whats red and has pop up headlights? ford probe?
yep
The lights were up because I had the front off to redo the intercooler. Now the only place where a chargepipe can pop off is INSIDE the engine bay. No more slitting my wrists on that shit. If I'm gonna die that way, I at least want it to be by choice. Not an accident
Now you got a fusebox to install too, better get crackin'!

tommy on 10:20:09 PM / 11-Dec-10worst thing toyota ever did... before their prius brake deal...lol
speaking of toyota, my new job is awesome!
got a free beanie/gloves/scarf from lexus this morning
Good call getting a S14, I picked up a shell as well, That being said I am keeping the S12 as my Drift missile/DD because it is fun to wreck people with nicer cars with it lol. But Honestly S13/14 drift way better, I use to say "blah blah, 240sx are dumb cause everyone has them" But After drifting them, its easy to see why people get them. They are just a better over all car with aftermarket and lots of info.
Don't get me wrong I love my S12 to death and will probably never get rid of it, but I pretty much gave up on the idea of it being a full on pro car. At least for now considering the amount of custom fab it would take to get it to that point.
fuck anything that isn't an s12. i'm gonna be full race building mine here in a couple years. saving up parts and money. gonna be full cage. 450whp ca18det. fully built suspension setup, power brace, tubbed fenders, big ass brakes, hydro e brake, custom harness for weight reduction by like 50lbs, custom seat rails with bucket seats, 6 point harnesses, fuel cell, plexiglass windows, body work, paintjob, perfection pretty much. i'm never giving up on my s12
nismo_200sx on 11:30:56 PM / 08-Mar-12fuck anything that isn't an s12.
Ju_S12_Turbo on 01:59:49 AM / 09-Mar-12 Lol and have you ever drifted a s13/s14 that is set up for drifting? they drift themselves! lol
I could always get another one, I'm 21. But for now I need a whole car together you guys will see, and yea, I already rocked the shit out of the s12
Hybrid swapped, tandemed etc
Ju_S12_Turbo on 01:59:49 AM / 09-Mar-12Lol and have you ever drifted a s13/s14 that is set up for drifting? they drift themselves!
D-sport S12 on 08:38:31 AM / 09-Mar-12They are soo easy. That is why I'm looking at buying a friends coupe as a back up for when I wreck my s12/ dd. I had big plans for my s12 to but I need to be more realistic
You're telling me, given the chance, you wouldn't do what Ken Block does for a living?
Never said I wasn't gonna stop drifting it. My s12 isn't gonna leave my grasp until it is so utterly fucked that it can't be fixed what so ever
kelso840 on 11:18:23 AM / 09-Mar-12You're telling me, given the chance, you wouldn't do what Ken Block does for a living?
Love it, especially the 6666 customs rear wing. Love them on these cars
Redneck on 12:36:44 PM / 09-Mar-12This is by far the most overused Ken Block supporter defense ever. YOUR TELLING ME YOU WOULDN'T DO WHAT KEN BLOCK DOES FOR A LIVING GIVEN THE CHANCE? Thats like defending Justin Bieber because "who wouldn't want to make millions while having tween bitches put your posters all over their bedroom walls all for just singing BABY BABY BABY over and over again". At the end of the day Block, like Bieber, is an overrated poser. Both have mediocre skills (at best) at what they do but for some reason large amounts of clueless people like to think they have massive talent.LOL who pissed in your cheerios?
And what exactly does Ken Block do for a living? He promotes his shoes for a living while making occasional gymkhana videos that all look the same (that also require 100's of takes for him to get perfect since he is such an "awesome" driver). Ken Block knows he couldn't compete in real rally racing if he tried which is why he spends all his time making the same old gymkhana videos while using his car as a poster board for all of his brands/advertisements/capitalist interests/etc. At the end of the day he doesn't care about being a good driver, he only cares about his low intelligence fan base continuing to keep purchasing his products by wooing them into thinking he is a much better driver then he actually is. Which is basically the same principle most s13/s14 drivers use. They try and make themselves look like much better drivers then they really are by getting a car that basically drifts itself. It is sad the lack of pride people have at actually taking the more challenging and ultimately rewarding road. These days its all about maximum vanity and selling out to make the quick buck.
