i thought roll cages were for fast cars, just kidding, good work.

**nine2nine** · 12-11-09, 01:15 PM

^^^^You're just jealous of my 'swedish' wheels, i told you they wont fit your car

Progress....

i drilled the battery cut off switch into the rear of my car, and created and welded a bracket in.

Also drilled a hole for a boot lock into the rear, it has already been deleted on the bootlid,
but ANDRA rules says i have to put one in. So i put it in the ke25 position instead.

Pulled the engine out to start on the engine bay, this one will not be going back in as i plan to have the new one built in time.

Removed the manual pedal box, column, and any other junk in my way.

The sr20 auto bellhousing requires a heap more clearance than the manual one, so i had to dummy it up to see what neeeds to move out of the way, i grabbed an old block and mounted it up.
There will be changes made to the front of the tunnel.

,
I am using a c4 auto , so only the nissan bellhousing has clearance issues.

Started welding up some of the holes i don't need,

Then started to really get into it, i am thinking about straightening the sheetmetal over the wheels on either side to make it really smooth.
still not sure if i will bother as there is a lot of work in it. :hmm:

The missus sprung me, this is how i spend my spare time........so sad :yes:

epic

look forward to more progress!

**nine2nine** · 27-11-09, 05:46 PM

some progress!

Engine bay has had lots of attention, lots smoother, many many man hours.

a bit of surface rust starting..

New tunnel clearance for the auto bellhousing, bolted the crossmember back up, put dummy block in,
real happy!

Started to build the new engine, waiting for a few parts atm,

apparently i need new head studs.

Also picked a new colour for my interior, decided white is tacky, so this is it.

I picked it off a vinal sample and got it colour matched for the roll cage and other little bits

**hrt5l** · 27-11-09, 10:59 PM

apparently i need new head studs.

I shouldn't laugh at this but i will.

Nice updates though.

**hrt5l** · 05-12-09, 05:38 PM

Pics of engine bay in colour not loading...

**nine2nine** · 05-12-09, 08:12 PM

The cans of motivation i ordered havn't showed up yet, man i hate bodywork!

Shouldn't you be busy wiring? HR+304+GT42+LAZY OWNER!

**nine2nine** · 25-12-09, 04:36 PM

so shiny!!

Also spent a bit of time removing some of the casting edges to improve flow

Todays effort, finally got some etch on the engine bay again, looking pretty straight now, still got a bit of work to do before undercoat.

**JZK25** · 26-12-09, 08:05 AM

Cool build. Have you recently bought an MS57 Crown wagon?

**nine2nine** · 26-12-09, 02:32 PM

thanks man,

yeh man, a few years ago actually, but just started working on it.

Who are you on another forum?

**JZK25** · 26-12-09, 04:28 PM

Saw it on rollaclub. Stints and I are building a KE55 coupe with a beams RS200 driveline for shits and hillclimb giggles so I have been on there looking for ideas.

You still on the sunshine coast?

**nine2nine** · 27-12-09, 07:51 AM

sounds mad, awesome engine. yeh nambour atm.

Toymods has a fair few beams powered rollas on there.

**nine2nine** · 23-01-10, 03:06 PM

small update.

Doing a bit more to the head atm, it has a port job which i would like to make more wild, wallet may not sustain the damage atm.

It is already solid pivot, adjustable cam gears, approx 10mm lift cams.

I am adding 1mm oversized valves, and 12.5 solid cams, will give it a touch up at home to suit the valves if i cant afford the full job.
Been a bit sidetracked lately, getting a new daily ready.

The rola got booted from the shed.

**JZK25** · 23-01-10, 06:29 PM

Don't fuck with me man, is the Crown the new daily or is it the dunger Pajero.

**nine2nine** · 23-01-10, 06:52 PM

The crown. Pajero is ex-daily after a big end knock put it our of order. Hopefully it will be getting a commodore supercharged six to get it back on the road.

**hrt5l** · 23-01-10, 08:12 PM

Ha ha go the super6. I hear their good, at least thats what i tell myself every time i drive mine. They are really torquey which is good. And get that rolla back in that shed promptly! you cant give me crap about getting no work done and then push it out on blocks.

**ALLMTR** · 23-01-10, 08:16 PM

Are you going for some number of project car record

**nine2nine** · 23-01-10, 09:25 PM

Unfortunately. And lets not forget the ke25

Nah, its not quite as bad as it seems, me and my brother both use the same user because of email address issues. So i own the sr20 ke30, the ms57 crown, the pajero and the ke25, while my brother has the 2jz 929 and xt forester. Might make a bit more sense...

**nine2nine** · 16-02-10, 07:29 AM

**nine2nine** · 19-02-10, 06:13 PM

Moar on the crown please

**nine2nine** · 02-03-10, 07:09 PM

I haven't done a thread on here for the crown build, this is "performance forums", and the crown is 7mge powered....................

Build thread is here the rolla forum:
http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index...howtopic=37023

will be regoed in a few weeks i think.

**rolin7** · 02-03-10, 09:08 PM

Just had a look at the crown thread, you really know what your doing and have a shitload of motivation.

Do you build motors for a living?

Also did you just spray the crown in the garage?

**nine2nine** · 03-03-10, 05:28 PM

Thanks man
nah, im a sparky, i just build my engines, which is pretty often, im a pretty harsh driver.
it was sprayed in the garage, was damn tight in there, very difficult to spray in a space that small. The paint wasnt real flat, halfway through buffing it.
