sheepers Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 yep, shes commin along. spent most of today doing fuck all, made a new part for the inlet pipe and not much else. it now starts and idles sweet as and will happily idle and rev with no problem. it wont fucking stop though, turn the key off and it just keeps on going. this is the next thing on the list........ the camera shake you speak of is actually the motor starting up. the camera is sitting on the roof of my blue car, no one is touching it, so the shake is totally induced by the V8, fucking cool ay. sheepers.

Toucan Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Nice steady progress mr sheepers. Cannot be far off driving, awesome stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 its a little way off driving yet............... still got the whole rear suspension to do. there will be ALLOT of work in that.... anywho, I'm going to do some radiator related shit tonight. need to make some brackets or something but the frame on the radiator i have is steel so i can weld shit to it. this will make life much easier but the rad is a bit of a bastard of a shape. would love to make an alloy one but cant afford at this stage.... I'm trying to get it to the stage where it moves under its own power by crissy but its going to be tight. just keep going and hope somehow it all works out right sheepers?

Testament Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Man you really have done it now! are the shafts splined on both ends? i.e. what about making new shafts rather than filler welding the existing ones? Also I'm pretty certain if you do weld them up "properly" you will probably have to do pre and post weld heat treatment also you have access to spline making gear?? - I think I should come around with some beers sometime............

Spencer Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 surely making them is easier? only the cost of the steel for you, zap two splines on bam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepers Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 they are only splined at one end, the other end has the ball race carrier as part of the shaft. i think anyway, once i take it fully apart and clean the grease off it ill know exactly how they are made but at this stage it looks like one end is the ball race carrier. i think the only reason one end has a spline on it is so you can get the boots onto the shafts....

MRT1TRD Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Im pretty sure they were splined at both ends as both ends have the same type of cv joint for mine i just cut and welded it with handy 3ph mig, It would be ideal to heat treat and ballance it but drives fine and has not broken yet and ive tryed hard to break it as I need new tyres now.

sheepers Posted October 4, 2009 Share Posted October 4, 2009 i have it on good authority (Jamie with the 4WD 1UZ turbo TA22 told me) that nissan navara shafts have the same ends but are shorter so im going to investigate this first. it would be extremely excellent if i could get "off the shelf" bits to do the job. i shall see. sheepers.

Testament Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 is it really worth going to all the effort to shorted the GTR kit? What about going for a different rear subframe, silvia or something that might be narrower? But that also means admitting defeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
