after a busy few days she was ready for a wof, i drove in thinking what if it fails i haven't got much time before Christmas he drove it in and then after going over the car he drove it out and gave me this look of at least you tried then handed me the wof sheet hesitant to look at it, i took a brea...

So i started to write a list the other day of little things that needed to get done so i can drive her over Christmas and i didn't realize how much was actually left to do Mount and wire in fuel pump* Change inlet gasket* replace front seats lower the front again* get a puncture fixed* replace alter...

Not a very exciting update but I have finally got the motor running again. So this weekend consisted of all the little things like fill the gearbox with oil, replace the reverse light switch, connect the speedo cable, put a fire sleeve over the clutch cable, bleed the brakes, fit a thermo fan switch...

oh and i sorted the lower control arm bolts

I did it lol finally had the engine swap weekend last weekend motor out, change carb and release bearing and back in only 1 problem the alternator didnt fit so i need to get another one but that's not a biggie this weekend it driveshaft in, radiator in and wire up, while the gearbox shifter was out ...

so i decided it was about time to pull the 4g63 out and either fix the alternator and carby problem and replace the release bearing or drop in the 4g54 i had lying around, after taking out the driveshaft and taking off all the wires so all i had to do was hook up the crane and then unbolt motor and ...

Small update i have decided i want to drive this for another summer so the DOHC Turbo swap i on the back burner, however i took the car for a drive and then couldn't stop, eventually when i stopped i popped the bonnet and sure enough the master cylinder was empty so out with the old and in with the ...

Not much of an update but i picked up a chin spoiler the other night so then decided to mock up how it would look on the car, and it didn't turn out too bad. i am still yet to make up metal tabs to secure it on, i don't want to drill extra holes into the body but then again i don't think i will take...

I have managed to score a set of starion strut/hub assembly and on my shelf at home have a set of new rotors and rebuilt calipers so looks like i am putting in a starion front end .......... if i ever get time to start lol Also i have started to buy little goodies to make this better looking (and fi...

Not much been happening except little things like i am on my 3rd alternator and second gearbox lol. Also i fount Hiace rear shocks are shorter and work then R31 front shocks with a spacer work a treat. But i just picked up a 4g54 and gearbox last night and was thinking about putting it into the sigm...

it has new plugs, leads, fuel pump, filter and i will be changing the coil next week

Has anyone done a 4g63 single cam carb to efi change, i seem to have problem after problem with carb feeling like it is running out of fuel and just want it to be reliable. i have re-kitted a couple of carbs and one ran worse the other is "ok" but coughed and spluttered on the way home las...

Thanks guys, and no I don't have a wiring diagram but it would be helpful if some one had both

Hi guys i have recently changed from a 4g32 to a 4g63 in my ge and all is well but... the 4g32 alternator has a 4 pin plug and the 4g63 one only has 2 has anyone done this or has anyone got a wiring pin out for the 4g32 i have had a look and have got it temperately wired up but my charge light on th...

i dont think they are factory, a old boy had it before me and he did some cool stuff like the horns and kill switch. i like them

ill have a look and see if i can find online sizes for the GE

got some lowering springs yesterday, i went with cobra as i have had them in the past and always had a nice ride (softer than king springs). it has dropped it about 30-40mm both front and rear and loving it, however all springs have become un-captive and need to get shorter ones. My question is has ...

Hey guys Haven't done alot to the car now that the 4g63 is in but just wanted people to know if you do the swap you will need a longer speedo cable, today I went to pick a part (self help wreckers yard) and got one out of a 93 L200 2.6L 4g52 and works a treat. Just another thing no one tells you lol...

Also if you are changing the tail housing on the gearbox it is worth noting there are to output shaft sizes and that in turn means there is 2 different seal sizes. The one I used was a 89 ute tail housing on a 83 gearbox so I needed a seal with a od of 52mm and a id of 32mm but I didn't know that un...

IT'S ALIVE I got home on Friday night after work and got the motor out, then Saturday bolted gearbox to motor and dropped it in, all bolted up to factory 4g32 mounts and there was extra bolt holes in tunnel as the gearbox mount sits back but all mounts were there. Just got to figure out the wiring f...

Will do thanks for that. Last night I got the gearbox back together and yes it can be frustrating but when a mate turns up it makes things easier. I also got the old engine and gearbox out and put the clutch on the 4g63. Also I found out her name the other night when I removed the back seat it had a...

Thanks Sorry for all the photos but i think visuals are the best way to explain. anyway i needed to change the tail housing on the gearbox as the one i had sat the shifter too far back and had a quick look on how to do it and haughty id show how i did it. i took off the shifter (8 bolts) and undone ...

Rocker cover, the base of the distributor, thermostat housing and water pump pully I painted them with vht anodized base coat, basically silver with a flake to it.

Clutch arrived today just went with a Exedy standard clutch but with the silver Japanese cover. Also got a little carried away with the spray paint but owell got plenty of bits to change it later if it looks crap. And got a set of extractors on the way super happy I didn't really want to use the fac...

Thanks, there not hooked up at the moment but once I get the 2.0L in I'll get it sorted. I didn't want to make it suit the 4g32 and then have to change it again.

so While waiting for my clutch to arrive i have been doing a few little things like i now have rear seat belts and have tinted the inner headlights yellow, they will be crap but they look good.

New fuel return line in and ready for the 2L, i got 5 meters thinking id have heaps left over but after all the twists and curves under the car there was only about 1.5 meters left. I also got the correct bits for the rear brakes so that's tonight's job. http://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah188/Pqu...

Last night i started to redo the rear brakes,mainly because the cylinders were seized and did no braking at all. But got in there and went to start pulling it apart and sure enough the parts i got were wrong :banh: I also noticed that there is no return line from the motor to the tank so have to get...
