#51 Re: Stanza strut/brake upgrade- Camber/castor specs from other upgrades.

*bump* - the castor problem is sorted but ahs anyone found an upgrade with decent camber characteristics without using plates?

i.e.

R31?

180/200B?

etc...

Would be good for a comparison to help people get the best conversion straight up. The stanza conversion needs to be dropped another inch to get a degree or two of negative camber, but then you would have to shorten the strut to retain a decent amount of bump clearance.


Cheers.

Ah yes - but we have just finished building a road car from the ground up - registered it last Friday.
A real road car with no special mods except for the drive train - we had a spare 1220cc race engine, clutch and box sitting around doing nothing so we popped it into the new road car - and succeeded in getting it through engineering with no major probs as it is a 73 model with the early lack of polution requirements.
As I said it was a ground up so has turned out pretty well. It will pretty much be a daily drive

Adam BDA- you are on the money there, I am starting to wonder why the hell I am screwing around with a road car. Everything is such a massive compromise...... can't have castor plates, cant have trackwith increases, can't have the wheels you want..... aaarrrrgggghhhhh

so you are running a straight cut box & racing clutch on the road? You cant really blame the missus for having a permanent headche with all that noise and jolting!!!!
Saw a wrx with a straight cut yesterday, the noise even drowned out the 3" exhaust.

The motor is a little rocket with forged flat tops , everything lightweighted, blueprinted, balanced, ports, cam, twin 40mm sidedraft, extractors etc - ran about 72rwhp and about 85nm.
Clutch is big clamp load with good organic plate.
Gearbox is standard 4 speed with complete rebuild - bigger bearings, drilled and cut synchros etc
The vehicle used to break the standard universals on the start line so we had to build a bigger tailshaft and are using this. The race car is using a Toyota T50 3T box which is handling the power so far

The Castor rod/Radius rod conversion that 1200coupe uses:

Yep the LJ ones are very close, all that is usually necessary is to open up the two mounting holes at the back end of the rod and maybe grind a little off the end........ Remember its the LJ ones you want as every other model I looked at doesnt mount up properly.
Happy hunting.

Paul.


The Holden wrecker I went to swore that the radius rods were the same for LC & LJ so I just grabbed a set despite the angle looking very wrong

R/rod comparo


The stockers mount diagonally:

But the Torana ones look to be spot on when you mount them on the parallel bolt holes:

Possibly the bolt holes are different spacing for the LJ vs LC models, because these ones will need a bit of work to fit
