I have an obsession to MK2 Escorts :facepalm: Since all my bits were stolen for my galant rally car project,I gave up on it and sold it. I later acquired a MK2 2 door roller that is straight and rust free. During negotiations,the guy informed me that there was another 2door and a really good 4door G...

Question for the guys with racing experience. If I was to make this car a club race car (to race at Awaba rally club), and just wanted to keep the 4g32, what sort of mods are allowed and still be classed as standard? Obviously things like motor internals could be played with, but that's not the sor...

Chris If it is the repairer in Avoca that I am thinking of,they might not be very helpfull. Give the motor Vehicle repair Industry Authority a call on 0297122200 and have a chat with them. It annoys the crap out of me ,the way that some repairers get away with repairs that are potentially life threa...

by shortening the knuckles,you are acheiving more movement for a given amount of movement at the steering wheel.
It all comes down to leverage. You will get more lock,but you will get that a lot quicker.

4G32 and 4G33 share the same internals.
I had a 33 that was bored to 1700cc in my rally car for years.

It's a 2L SOHC Carby RWD, came 3spd auto, I've put a KW132 5spd manual in it. It's got an SE badge on the side, but is it a GE? How do I finally figure it out?

It looks more like a GJ than a GE.

Sand it out and re fill it. If possible,don't put any bog over the paint,because it looks like it's been painted in acrylic. the reason behind this is that Acrylic moves around as the temperature changes and bog doesn't. after a few weeks,you will get an edge appearing around the repairIt's good to ...

Don't panic about rubbing through edges, Prime any rub throughs and if you are worried about rubbing through.go to your paint supplier and get some grey scotchbrite. wet the scotchbrite and put some cutting compound on it and rub the edges with it. In my 35 years as a spraypainter,I have never been ...

definately looks the goods Dave.

They probably cost twice that new, second hand would be about the same though. The Rota's are knockoffs of the TE37, probably why they look similar :P I've seen too much of this: http://g35driver.com/forums/attachments/wheels-tires/98513d1227639244-rotas-k-repicla-wheels-garbage-img0193ir0.jpg on t...

I was under the assumption that the leyland engine had a wider Vee as well. Years ago,one of our clients had a rover that spat a main bearing cap and we thought of fitting a P76 engine,but it wasn't a straight forward swap.

They were a Buick V6 with an extra 2 cylinders added on. No resemblance or similarity to the Rover engine.

I have dealt with the Toy Store in the past and found the staff to be more than helpful and friendly. I think the treatment that customers receive has a lot to do with their attitude.
We needed a 2JZ for a trial fit into my mates race boat,and the guys gave us one that was high mileage for zilch.

Looks sweet Dave

The Toy Shop at Beresfield have some nice rims in stock. might be worth a drive.

All fun and games :o I had a guy come up from Mittagong to pick up my Telstar that he bought form me. It was weeing down all week,and we live on a HUUUGGGEE hill. the poor guy borrowed a Commodore ute from one of his workmates to tow it back. After the telstar decided it wasn't going to start,we tow...

You need to adapt the throttle bodies to the weber manifold,weld in injecter bosses to the manifold and build and instal a fuel rail

I'll get the details off mine next visit to the bush. Currently engineless,jap 5speed,bilsteins all round. It was origionally Silver grey with black interior.Currently fitted with steel bolt in roll cage and a bloody roof vent. Absolutely rust free and amazingly straight considering it was rallied f...

thanks for the links guys.You've made life a bit easier for me now.

What engine are you planning on using them on. I know jamie with his twincam 4g63 coupe up here has a 4age manifold and throttle bodies with just a basic 10 or 20mm adapter plate. The holes line up pretty well for that configuration to clear each manifold face. I dont have either manifold here to c...

They are going on my 2 liter Escort( Don't ban me Dave

),but if they appear to work better than the webers,I will do the same mod on a 4G32 for my hardtop.

I have recently acquired a set of throttle bodies from a 4AGE blacktop and plan on fitting them to a modified weber manifold. My biggest drama is how to adapt the injector rail to the manifold,and also is there an ECU that will do EFI only as I am running an electronic dizzy that has been modified f...

Wax and Grease remover (Prepsol etc.) and a lot of patience. Scrape the excess off with an old credit card or similar. Under NO circumstances use a caramel wheel that coltA51 is refering to if the car is painted in acrylic lacquer or if the paint is really fresh,otherwise you will do more than scrat...

If your mechanic freaked it,then he should fix it. there are authouriities that you can go through if he won't come to the party.
In NSW,contact the Motor Repair Industry Authourity (MVRIA)

Phil,the key to a good performing 4G32 is the head,cam and induction. Years ago when Gosford Dyno built my engine,they skimmed the head .75mm,cleaned the ports by trimming the valve guides flush and smoothing out any humps and bumps. I ran a #5 cam and twin 45mm Webers and a set of works extractors....

Another consideration if you are contemplating doing it yourself is as you say there are crowsfeet developing,you will need to strip the car back to bare metal. this is when you will find all sorts of uglies,like bog etc. Be prepared to have your car off the road for a long time,and be prepared for ...
