Didnt get as far as i would have liked during uni break due to working and other distractions. Made a driveshaft support plate. Both machined pieces o-ring to the engine, the upper is filling the original supercharger shaft thru-hole, for a turbo oil return.  please overlook the poor tig welding, ex...

Neat conversion and car!
The distinctive inlet manifold gives it away, it's a Daihatsu EJ-DE
wikipedia says 989cc, 41kw.
Originally fitted to '98-00 L700 Mira

DIY transaxle idea didnt pan out so I spent some time researching and the best I could come up with was an 012 from audi. Manged to buy a whole '98 A4 for 350$, ripped it out, degreased it (sorry local car wash) and did some rough mocking. https://scontent.fbne3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/32105655_101...

Good work dude, very neat!

Front end supports itself on s13 knuckles now. Finding I definitely underestimated the time involved in each little step but I'm enjoying trying some new things. Few things im not totally happy with but overall I think its coming together ok. https://scontent.fbne3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/27750839_...

Back from work again. Have the next week and a half off, hoping to have the front together enough support itself in that time. Last few days i made the cross piece with rack mounts and internal braces, and mocked up tension arm mounts. Ended up using ke70 rack, hoping i can shorten it a little to su...

Thanks for the kind words guys.  Brayden it was very cool to come back after almost ten years and see a forum still alive, and find a heap of creative and inspiring builds to read! I have an engineer that has been quite lenient in the past, when I get closer to starting the rear I will talk to him. ...

Thought I'd start a thread for my project, might not be everyones cup of tea (ruining a poor boy), but anyway.  My first few cars were mightyboys, including an f6a swapped one i sadly pranged (2007). Ive owned a good few cars since, mostly nissans and toyotas (have been heavily involved in drifting)...

Chasing an ok example for a reasonable price.
F8b would be nice...but i'm not fussy.
Must be manual, auto to man conversions = lame.
Rego desireable.
Brisbane area ish.

Also if anyone is interested i have a clean standard nissan silvia i would be willing to trade...

cheers

yo. Been a while since i've been on here...so thought i'd re-intro myself. names mitchell. have owned 3 boys in the past, including a turbo one. i have other cars to ruin now so i'm looking to get another boy as a daily. still have my old rear window with a big tamon sticker on it in the shed :D cat...

hey, long time no me.

Don't worry about adding my old 'boy, when i have a new one i'll be sure to pester you to add it!

I've been informed the boy is damaged so much so that it isn't worth repairing. The left hand side is twisted and pushed back 35mm or so. This is due partly because of previous dodgyness, but mostly due to the accident. The only damaged parts are the subframe, underbody, front quarter panels and rea...

In QLD the rotary doesn't carry the multiplier of engine capactiy. A 12a is considered 1243cc and a 10a somewhere around 1000cc.

Good luck with the k6a!

Mine is done using 4 custom mounts and a modified passenger side rail.
I wouldn't recommend it though, as i've had so many troubles with them in the short amount of time i've had the car.

I'm getting mine completely remade because after a small accident they were trashed.

lol, i must admit i've done that too ceej.
they always give me a wave though, and one pulled over and we had a chat.
