Will ae86 stock springs fit TE71 liftback ?

[Eric]

te71 will be hard to find, try Celica/carina,. they had the same engine.

Hmmmmmm, I was able to get a USA based factory service manual for my AE71. There will be some differences... but the USA manual would have the 3TC specs.....

the company is http://www.faxonautoliterature.com/
then follow the menu for year, make, and model...

Please can anyone point me to some good site where i can find some user manual for TE71 liftback with 2TB engine from 1981 ? I need to check for fluid specs/oil/belts and so that i need to replace and other stuff. Simply do the maintenance on the car

I do have the 2T(B/G) engine manual. I'll have a look at what I scanned from it up so far...

Banpei please let me know if you will have any luck to scan this manual i will be very happy because is nowhere to find, thank you.

Well I started scanning it last summer, but I haven't scanned more than 60 pages so far. The reason I stopped is because the manual is quite hard to scan properly (I literally have to push the book with some force on the scanner) and the result isn't that great. I was planning on taking the book apart to make scanning easier.

Lucky enough the 2T(-B) tune-up section is at the beginning of the book, so that has been scanned. I'll upload it somwhere tomorrow.

Well actually what concerns me most is to do maintenance now on the car and i do not know anything about what type of oils i should use it got T50 transmission so that is easy in the engine i put some 10w40 spec oil but the diferential is complicated because i do not know how much oil it takes and if i need LSD oil or it can be jast normal 80w90 GL5 oil.
So i must just guess what i should out in. Also i will look at it more this week because a problem appeared with gauge that is not showing engine temperature so i hope it will be easy to find the cause for this.

Including the picture of repaired car there was not broken spring at the front but the spring holder was rusty (gone) and spring just fall trought it.

[Eric]

you can just use normal oil for the diff erential, exactly the same amount as any ae86 diff.
so all info can be found on here or google

Thank's Eric.

The 1.6SE Lift Back came with a 2T motor with the dual carbs where as the 1.8SE Lift Back came with a single carb.

I had the 1.8SE and my dad had a 1.6 SE back in the days.
There is a lot of differences with the front grill and lights, back lights, bumpers front and back as well as different clusters.

Below are pictures of my Lift back and do I miss her.

I had a set of 45 Dellorto side draughts with a Cowley branch(Headers), 57mm SSteel exhaust front to back, port&polish head that was gasflowed and a 280 degree camshaft.
I made 150HP and 149NM...I was planning on dropping a 3SGTE in but saw my current AE92 and decided to sell the Lift Back which was the wrong thing to do.
I had a set of 15's Nissan 200SX rims on
