Popular Post Marino Fischer Posted May 17 Author Popular Post Posted May 17 I have mostly got the rear end together as well for testing. It all bolts in now and clears the diff and full bump and full droop so next is to modify axles to fit as they are slightly to long. It’s a beast of rear beam. There will be no need for a rear sway bar😂 10 Quote
RUNAMUCK Posted May 19 Posted May 19 My apologies if I missed it, but what differential are you running? That looks like a nissan one? You're not running an R200 are you? For the power levels/weight of the car, an R180 would be plenty big enough. The bigger diff will have greater driveline losses too. 4wd primera/Avinir had a LSD r180 rear diff. Quote

RUNAMUCK Posted May 19 Posted May 19 20e powered A31/C33/r32 ran the r180 with those 2x3 flanges. The primera/avinir had a 1 piece inner CV iirc. (Not flanged) If you get a viscous LSD you'll need the matching inputs, as one side has the longer secondary spline to engage the viscous cartridge Quote
Marino Fischer Posted May 20 Author Posted May 20 Ahh yup I’ll keep that inmind for future. I really don’t know how this car is going to drive so I need to get it moving under its own power for testing. Quote
Popular Post Marino Fischer Posted September 23 Author Popular Post Posted September 23 Since my last update I’ve done quite afew things. I’ve fully mounted the engine and box, made a custom drive shaft, shortend axles and adapted an exhaust manifold to work. Currently im working on a custom intake manifold to work with the rwd layout. Once that is done and my cv boots arrive it’ll be ready for a test drive. 35 4 Quote

Popular Post Marino Fischer Posted September 23 Author Popular Post Posted September 23 I ended up going with a steel bell housing as my steering rack had to pass through it and it seemed easier to just make one from scratch and I trust it abit more than my previous one😂 14 2 Quote
Roman Posted September 24 Posted September 24 Whoa, custom metal bellhousing is cool as. Good progress. How is the other car going? Coming to OS drags to school some nerds in their Nissane Notes? (Highly personalized attack towards @xsspeed ) 5 Quote

Once the Platz runs it’s full steam ahead on the itb car till it’s Finished hopefully for summer. 2 Quote

Im addicted to taking photos of platz. Nope no metal on the fire wall was removed. Only the tunnel will have to be made a bit bigger. I also made sure there is plenty of room behind the engine so it’s not a pain to work on. Engine weighs so little it’s not too much of an issue having it so far forward. (Nothings welded or finished just a mock up in the photo below) 9 Quote

I’ve almost got everything to go turbo minus waist gate and intercooler/piping. But I need to test the work I’ve done so far na and also learn how to drive a rwd without ending up in too many ditches😆 3 Quote
