I'll tell yah what bobby, I'm down in Chch fairly regularly for work. I'll bring it down with me if you show me your datsun's. There's loads of datsun fizzers in Chch anyhow so you might be able to all crowd around and circle jerk each other on this mag. Some stunners in there

Question. Who has the coolest Datsun in Auckland? Preferably B chassis really.

I have a present from one (recovered) beeoneoneoh piner to another. 

I did not unfortunately KY, I didn't go to take photos, just to hang out and watch some drifting. Plus, it was wet for a 1/4 of the time I was there so didn't much feel like photo'ing. Was pretty much only hanging around to see this + NA + KE. Everything else, as KPR mentioned on his blog, were typical Nissans. I did get a photo from my MJU2 of Todd in the middle of the massive puddle in his wagon though haha.

I saw the Corolla out at Hampton yesterday and it was looking good man! I kept hanging out for Luke's MX5 to catch up to see NA x AE drifting but I think it only happened once. Keep on keeping on, the car looks/sounds great.

This... is a damn cool KP. 4AGE, locker and 13" Streets/Commands is such a good combination!

Keeping an eye on the build

mesh suck

I'm failing to see the wrongness of that car? One could argue the front lip being pretty big assed and it needs factory rear spoiler... but still? Unsure if they are fake 03s or what at that angle and distance but I thought it wasn't bad considering the amount of nasty 11s out there?

I reeeaaalllyyy want to see this thing all sick and shit tgb

I know you have seen the pic but is it not possible to just do this:

without taking into account bead width

10" = 254mm

254/2 = 127

3" back spacing = 76.2mm

127-76.2= 50.8

14x10 -50

well that's just retarded... like your exhausts

i lold

goodluck

1 vote for NA8 MX5 if you had to buy a new car. awesome awesome base. One of the best handling factory cars I have driven.

I think after cert you need a locker if you are going to drive it around the streets.

Spinning one wheel when you beach yourself is the woooorssstt

less on the ground photos bth, makes me want to stab children.

Take a photo of it next to a normal new sedan plz. Actually, nah, bring it up here so I can take some real photos you bromo

*giggles* awww shucks

dude get some gaurd fill asap.

I tip the hat to thee sir, tip tip tip tip tip

FUCK those are some leafs man

here's some conversation topics for such a thread titled "leaf spring tech"

Has anyone here had any experience with a coilover/coil spring setup in a originally leafsprung car, using a single leaf as lateral stability? In stead of using a panard rod/watts etc and a 4 link is what I mean.

I have seen quite a few b110s/b310s in japan running a coilover shock and spring to the shock mount on the u-bolt plate under the leaf with no added arms. Logic would tell me that the lateral stability of the factory leafs where never that great and adding atleast a panard/watts etc would help greatly. However I am interested in hearing others experience with the setup.

converse...

I saw this in hamilton recently and laughed, actual irllol

Snells springs guy talked me out of reversed eyed leafs for reason dave said/i told dave. Argued in favour of reverse arch and gave examples of factory cars with reverse arched leafs. If you think of them as a flat piece of spring steal, it shouldn't matter what way they arch. Although he did mention different toe characteristics under compression due to the shackles moving inwards rather that outwards. He noted it shouldn't be any problem however.

My springs sit with a reversed arch with load on them and flat when not loaded. Will be stiffening further and reverse arching them more for lower in future. I have always wanted a very long, flat panard rod because the factory leaf setup feels like it walks around a lot. Even when it didn't have blocks (which suck too).

all a series gearboxes fit all other a series

If it's a four speed then it should just fit in no problem, unless it's a 60 series 4 speed which has a smooth belhousing (no ribs) and then you will need to make a new gearbox crossmember.

in conclusion, yes

WTF do you think you're doing?

just looked it up, its 20mm bolt ons

I thought slip ons where illegal

edit:

be set screwed or attached by another secure method to the wheel or hub face

Tried to copy paste but won't let me

page 16

DOUBLE EDIT: If it's a hub adapter, ie changes the stud pattern then its max 27mm. If its just a spacer bolt on then its 20mm. Or atleast that's what I get from the standards

are wheel spacers max width 27mm?

think max allowable bolt on hub spacers is 20mm, then need cert for them

brendan can do them alright

Haha was just about to pick up my phone to call him

yes to efi
