I'm in Perth, when I previously tried to order Camry bolts not sure what code I used but they where not locally available and stupidly expensive so I got the Mk1 MR2 ones with the codes on here which where about the same price you paid but they are only going about half way into crankOriginally Posted by knightrous
I have noticed ARP do ones which are a good 5mm longer than mine for the 4age so I might be ordering a set as I am getting other stuff anyway
did you end up getting the 4age bolts aussiemr2?
Quick question, I have two unmolested 4agze automatic ( I assume they are the same as the manual) axles I was lucky enough to find in a junkyard. Will they simply bolt up to a non-LSD e153 with out modifications?
As long as the inner CV has that 6 bolt flange then yes it will bolt straight to the output stubs of any E153.
Awesome, thanks paul!
Random question for those out there.
Are the MK1 NA drive shafts the same length as the MK2 NA drive shafts?
I've taken a rather large dislike to the 1-piece design of the MK2 NA shafts and I'm considering on using the MK1 shafts, but cutting the splined input shaft from the MK2 shafts and transplanting it onto the MK1 flanged stubs. This will give me two piece drive shafts that will work on my V6 project and allow me to run a ZZW30 LSD in my C56 gearbox on my 20V project.
Some conflicting info in your post there, i think you're a little confused, just to clarify....
Mk1 NA and Mk2 NA shafts are the same length, they both fit a Mk1 with a Mk2 NA gearbox.
Mk2 NA shafts are the same design as Mk1, they are not 2 piece, ie no supported shaft like a Mk2 turbo has, there is no difference using a Mk2 shaft, a Mk1 shaft won't work with a Mk2 NA gearbox anyway, its input shaft is 1mm smaller diameter than a Mk2 NA shaft.
If you want a 2 piece shaft setup you will need a Celica supported shaft, and a Mk2 NA short shaft, you can then build a frankenshaft that is the correct length for your Mk1 V6 and you will also need to make a support bracket for it on the block. The same shaft will also work on your 20v setup with ZZW30 LSD, but not with the stock C series diff. ZZW30 shafts will not fit a Mk1 hub which would be the obvious answer to having a supported shaft setup.
Hope that helps.
The MK2 NA shafts cannot be unbolted from the stubs that enter the gearbox and diff. As seen below on my MK2 NA shafts (unequal length) mounted into my S54 gearbox. This means you have to drain the oil from the gearbox and bugger around every time you drop it the gearbox :(
My MK1 NA shafts (unequal length) you can unbolt from the stub. Below is a picture of my C56 box with the MK1 shaft stub still in the box. The MK1 shaft was unbolted via 6 bolts and were left in the car during the gearbox removal process. I didn't have to drain any oil out of the gearbox because of this.
If the MK1 shafts are the same length as the MK2 shafts, I'm going to look at cutting the spline from the MK2 shafts, then cut the spline off the MK1 stub flange and weld the MK2 spline into the MK1 stub flange. This will let me run MK1 shafts on a S54 gearbox, or use a ZZW30 LSD in my C56 gearbox with MK1 shafts.
Ah i see what you're trying to do now, i thought you meant two piece as in supported/unsupported shafts... right well in theory what you are suggesting will work, but welding the stub axles is a big ask of someones skills, hats off to you if you can pull that off.
Would it not be easier to get the axle rods machined / modified to use different stubs?
Even I pulled a face at welding them!
