Re: [WIP] Project GTeV - Toyota AE86 meets Nissan Leaf
Thanks Marty. I haven't ruled out a 108S, I have the space and one more BMS slave isn't an issue. I have ruled out a 3P config though because it weighs too much, almost tripling the weight of the cells, and the AE86 was a light car (970kg). Also, I don't need the additional range, which was a consid...

Re: [WIP] Project GTeV - Toyota AE86 meets Nissan Leaf
I was going to use a 3P96S configuration but I'm going to drop it to 2P and probably 104S. There's a company up the road that does a BMS (https://www.prohelion.com/product-category/bms/) that has monitors configured for 8 cells so that would fit neatly. Tell me if I'm wrong but I figure that a 104S ...

Re: [WIP] Project GTeV - Toyota AE86 meets Nissan Leaf
A little bit of catch up is overdue! I've been slowly chipping away at this. The Motor to Gearbox adaptor plates are just about finished, just a bit of clean up, and locating to ensure alignment of the two shafts before welding it all up and having it machined flat. My engineer provided some advice ...

Re: Project GTeV - Toyota AE86 meets Nissan Leaf
I've had a bit of a slow down due to work getting busy, but yes, I'm cutting the adaptor plates using a jigsaw. It's a little slow but quite workable and significantly cheaper. I've used 20mm 6061 plate for the most part. I'm hoping to finish welding up a welding table/ workbench this weekend and th...

Re: Project GTeV - Toyota AE86 meets Nissan Leaf
I haven't given an actual update in a while now and a few things have happened. 1. The Leaf was taken away. 20230406_130251.jpg 2. The AE86 was delivered and rolled into the carport (whoops, I forgot to take pics!) I've since removed most of the sound deadening using dry ice but need a few more kilo...

Re: 1994 Toyota Celica powered by Gen 3 LEAF.
Those celica gearboxes put up with a lot of abuse from heavily worked 3SGTEs, so (in general) it should be up to the task.

Re: 1994 Toyota Celica powered by Gen 3 LEAF.
I'll be following with interest, very keen to see how all the components come together, particularly batteries, bms, and charging. This is the first I've heard of anyone using a gen 3 leaf motor, I look forward to hearing how you get on. @Jacobsmess I'm using a Gen 3 leaf here (160kw version) - http...

Re: Project GTeV - Toyota AE86 meets Nissan Leaf
Once again, thank you very much for your advice and offer of help (though I'm in Australia, so it's unlikely I'll be taking a trip to London anytime soon). Your description of your experience and advice of starting from first principles really helped clarify my thinking and spurred me to consider fu...

Re: Project GTeV - Toyota AE86 meets Nissan Leaf
what do you mean? its a fully function project many people, including my self are using this method. push the gen2 inveter to 130-140ish kw with it. I mean with regards to the Gen3 160kw inverter (I was looking at threads like this: https://openinverter.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2324 and https://op...

Re: Project GTeV - Toyota AE86 meets Nissan Leaf
Cheers Janosch. It's useful to have the complexities laid out because in most threads there's little explanation of why a person chose to use 'x' controller/adaptor board. I have been trying to get a better understanding of Damian's ZombieVerter as well as other options. Part of the challenge seems ...

Re: Make Nissan Leaf Gen3 adapter board
I have none of the requisite skills to help build or design this, but I do have a full set of Gen3 160kw components so I'd be happy to test when it gets to that stage.

Re: Project GTeV - Toyota AE86 meets Nissan Leaf
Yes, GTeV, what exactly do you mean by straight transplant? What I mean is taking almost everything from the Leaf and putting it into the AE86. The core part is the motor stack, charging ports, and battery (+BMS), and associated wiring/fuses/controls (VCM etc), but in addition I'd like to also keep...

Re: Project GTeV - Toyota AE86 meets Nissan Leaf
So, I got lucky! I bought this leaf at a salvage auction and it was the only one salvage leaf I could find in Australia at the time. I took a bit of a gamble as the compliance plate listed the car as an 'e+', but the auction listing had it as a base model and the rear of the car had no additional ba...

Re: Project GTeV - Toyota AE86 meets Nissan Leaf
I have had a look at your adaptor plates (I actually have your shop page bookmarked). However, shipping a couple of plates of aluminium from Canada to Australia makes much less sense for me than getting them cut locally. In saying that, I appreciate the effort you've put in to design and manufacture...

Re: Project GTeV - Toyota AE86 meets Nissan Leaf
The Leaf (my little girl named it George) has been disassembled and I will be getting rid of the shell this week to make space for the AE86. 20221110_091325.jpg 20230211_141053.jpg The engine removal was relatively straight forward after I'd managed to get the locked hub nut off the axle - that took...

[WIP] Project GTeV - Toyota AE86 meets Nissan Leaf
Hi All, I've been sitting on an AE86 for the better part of 20 years. It was my daily driver for a while and then sat for years. It's now time to revive it and electrify it. The plan is to use all the running gear from a Nissan Leaf, I have a 2019 (ZE1), and move it all over. I had hoped for a 62KWh...
