hello i shall soon be another levin owner hopefully and in doing so have a few questions about the car etc.

1) for medium power eg 150hp what should i do?im thinking the best way to do it may be to get a 4AGE 100kw 16v block (is this the best 16v?) and mod it, but what mods?? i have got some prices on AE92 MAF GZE motors and the best they could do for a 1/2 cut was $3000! does anyone know any other places around sydney for cheaper GZE's? also if not what other engines/modifications would be suitable for drifting? i am pretty sure the 20 valve wouldnt as power is to high in the rev range right?

2)cheap suspension mods - what can i do to the suspension to make the car stable for drift? i was thinking about the whiteline works package but it aint exactly cheap. spring rates etc.

3) Brake upgrades??? i heard VK commodore calipers with magna rotors will fit but i think the Fc3s brake upgrade it better, but i have no info on the FC3S brake upgrade, does anyone?

4)what do i have to do to get an LSD into my car? what good ones will fit straight into the standard drum diff?

5)where can i get nice (eg. NOT RICER) body parts from?

thankyou,
for any help

1) 4AG 100KW, Can be picked up from Delux Jap Iport Spares smithfield from $200/250 i think no gearbox. You'll want to go N/A as for drifting, Your constantly on high revs so best stay with N/A

2) ring up whiteline and tell them what setup you want and what your going to use it for.


4) Ask around about the T-18 Rear ends.. apparently there easy to convert

5) You can get them from .T. on this forums. He can do JDM bodykits and N2 Bodykits

T18 rear end bolts right in.
You will need the following parts:

T18 drum to drum
Handbrake cables
T18 Tailshaft ( slightly shorter than the ae86 one)

thats about it, everything bolts up including brake lines, hand brake cables..etc

Then whack an lsd in. Very Happy

the car is called T18, and its a T series diff is the one you want,

i just finished my ge conversion, its not that hard just make sure you get all the parts and the wiring diagrams and its pretty easy, all up my conversion has costed around $1800, i've done all the work myself, but i bought the 100kw engine that was already a rwd config,

Go to one of those "Pick a part" type wreckers, bring your tools take what you need. Ends up costing much less.

The diff you need is from a Toyota T18, also known as a TE72.

4AGE conversion is easy
