after not playing with any datsuns for a while n the need arised to build a hillclimp/drag/drift/lap dash car i searched my workshop to work out what to build after toying with an rx4 sedan then 1200 ute i decided the 1200 sedan needed a new life so today was spent making measurements and organising parts

it will be running a worked rb30 with a 5 speed box as it was sittin in the corner taking up space and wanted to stay with the nissan brand after deciding on the motor realised the diff wont last so i dug up a vr commodore lsd in it has already been started shorting it down 150mm then attention was turned to the pissy single piston front brakes after a lil playing around ive worked out i will be able to fit up some vn front brake rotors and callipers so i can keep the stud pattern all the way around next i got one of my workers to strip the vehicle and we have started to design a rollcage


next things on the list for friday will be removing the firewall and tunnel dummy mocking up the motor and box and removing the diff so we can fabricate some mounts to mount the diff in the rear end with the starting day on this project today and i have 7 weeks to have it ready to race i will be having a few late nights ahead of me

Lol might want to do something with the shocks :) sweet keep posting as I'm interested to see how this goes as im building a coupe and have just come from a r32! Is it gonna be Na?

nah a dirty turbo hanging off the side of it will be quite quick im thinking but yeah that is one thing im sorta tossing an turning about weather to throw the hole struts away and find somethen to squeeze in there and just make some new lower control arms but with how far the motor is goin to be set back it wont be much more different then a fatty driving it im thinking

and a ? if i was to change some struts what have guys used b4 i have some stanza struts sitting in the corner that i have told fit in but they dont seem to be any bigger should i just grab some koni or bilstein struts n heavy duty springs

Prob s13 stuff for front end I'd say if you can make stuff which it look you can that the new fad I think anyways!

yeah not a prob to fab some stuff up but i woulda thought s13 stuff woulda been alot longer mind u its been quite a while since ive played with any s13s 180s etc

do the stanza struts but you can chop the bodys down and fit a 240x koni or even shorter a z series insert..... will allow it to be low but still have travel

and just chuck a coilover sleeve on it u rekon

Without any pics, this can't be true.

Yeah sleaves will do, and camber tops.
