i have a few rear end/suspension questions

[Ryan@CiNcity]

has anyone seen any info on how to tub or mini tub a 4door 510? im wondering if i want to keep it IRS or go with a solid rear end. i already have a R160 LSD in there now but i dont know how big of a tub im going to do. i want to at least fit 10in. wide tires but no wider than 12in. i dont really like the IRS setup it has now so if i was keeping it IRS it would be swapped from something else but again i have no idea what kind of newer IRS would fit in a 4door 510. any links or info to get me started would be great!

if i was keeping it IRS it would be swapped from something else

This is a nice tub...http://www.bryanf.com/510/rsusp.htm

well as of right now it has a N/A ka24e in it. long time goal it a beefy CA18det. but thats down the road.

 

well what kinda spurred the idea ia that i was on a car show that had a cuda with G35 IRS swapped into it, now i want newer IRS or something better than what is in it..... and my tires cant get wide enough so its going to have to work with a tub job. ill be the first to admit i know nothing about the 2 and im looking into all the information now since this is a recent development :)

and that link is the car that pops up pretty much anytime you search 510 in google. thats pretty extream. like i said before i know nothing about tubing. is the whole rear going to need to be framed like his or is that a purpose built kind of thing?

The book... How to hotrod & race your Datsun has some info on mini tubing. Here is a pic from one of the pages. http://www.datsun510.com/modules/Online_Manuals/how_to_modify/175.gif

 

I think the book is also in the manual section on the datsun510.com site.http://www.datsun510.com/
