Stew! Glad to see the car rockin out again. I'm gonna have to make it to the Dec. 4th event!

Keep it up man.

Johny5 · 10-18-2011, 07:00 PM

ummmm that'd be freaking awesome stranger hahaha!

gprb25 · 10-18-2011, 07:05 PM

Haha, no shit man. Been crazy busy with work and buying a house instead of building cars like I should be..

Btw I just looked at the calendar and that's a Friday... Is that date correct? Or is it an all weekend deal?

Johny5 · 10-18-2011, 07:08 PM

ummmm ill double check, lol i feel dumb now. congrats on the house!!!

gprb25 · 10-18-2011, 07:26 PM

Thanks man! And please let me know because I'm for sure making it.

ka-titties · 10-18-2011, 07:59 PM

what do you think caused the axle to break? i didnt think mid 300's would brake an axle, at least not during straight line beating (maybe drifting with the lateral forces n such).

Johny5 · 10-18-2011, 08:20 PM

there's a couple of reasons, i'll address them when the fix is out though for sure. very soon!

ka-titties · 10-18-2011, 08:28 PM

hrmf.

couldnt have been axle angle since you have DW knuckles.

hypercrush · 10-18-2011, 08:46 PM

im kinda mad at Texas for blowing up George's motor but your car is real sweet so i'll get over it im sure. and it was George's doing anyway, he blows up so much fiberglass i shoulda known he'd do it to the motor too

Johny5 · 10-18-2011, 08:53 PM

coincidentally, george's new motor may be coming FROM texas

hypercrush · 10-21-2011, 02:02 PM

oh really? the plot thickens! btw i saw you got the ASD mob dealio, congrats!

Royal_T · 10-21-2011, 03:57 PM

CONGRATS STEW!!!! on the ASD Mob thing.. Time to do work in 2012, bro

s14pit · 10-22-2011, 07:34 PM

I went to thejackstand.com to see about getting the hydro hand brake you have with the cyl with built-in res. and I could not find where they sale it. Can you point me in the right direction on this I am also going to be running the dual caliper setup.

Here you go sir

ASD Universal Hydraulic E-Brake (16" Pull-Back)

az_240 · 10-22-2011, 11:06 PM

Hmm seems a few people have been breaking their axles with the DW knuckles. Could be unrelated...

Did the axles seem stretched at all? Maybe axle spacers would help... either way very interested

hey where did u connect the lower strap to?? my front end is like that too its twisted like 1/2 inch

Z33dori · 11-25-2011, 05:18 PM

never thought about that, my car might be in the same shape

hypercrush · 11-26-2011, 11:00 AM

so hot right now. modified DMax hood is cool

Walperstyle · 11-26-2011, 01:03 PM

probably warped slightly from fabrication, that happens!

Even the guys doing tubs, I'm surprised don't leave the strut bar on to help hold its shape while working.

Johny5 · 11-27-2011, 09:43 PM

no it warped from driving, pre any fab work. but during fabwork i made sure to leave the motor plates bolted to frame rails and strut tower bar attached and triangulated

haven't updated this much, figured there was no need. been researching axles and hubs/diffs/combinations/etc.

id have more to report had my ideas worked but they didn't so oh well

came up with my most reasonable solution being 350z differential and axles w/ oe 240sx hubs so i can keep my ben hurrs

must cut out 2" of material so pinion angle remains OE

uses 1 rear stud, 240sx cover did not interchange (sucks because all the ones at jyards had snapped that stud off

)

the nuts are the previous internal "loose" nut setup so it bolts on just as it would have from the factory

along wiht this i've eliminated my eccentrics for the toe arms and RUCA as well, on the ruca i've slotted the holes a good bit and welded my washers outwards. i want the option of up to +1 camber just so i can literally put it wherever i want (as-is wiht eccentric maxed its not enough camber can't even hit 0)

I'm proud to say the 350z differential will be brand spanking new with fresh pinion bearings, fresh output shaft bearings and seals, 4.08 R&P from 2wd frontier new nissan OEM and a brand new custom spec'ed OS Giken 1.5 LSD. this shits gonna be a ripper!

i plan on putting an optional RLCA flattening bolt hole with optional sway bar spacers and a couple other neat tricks on this subframe since its already illegal for anything professional anyways.

anyways, ill report how it works this weekend after the event at TMS.

icedsole · 11-27-2011, 10:04 PM

way cool stew!

BILLFISHER21 · 11-27-2011, 10:08 PM

Stew you actually like having 4.08s? I feel like i want something taller like 3.8 or 3.7? I ended up finding a great deal on a face plated 30 spline gearbox locally. Thanks for all your info though. Still loving your trans?
