Skib Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 "is it possible" isnt the question you should be asking.... its a question of "do you have the time, money, skill, and resources to do it?" take the time to search and youd find Chad Copeland's badass SR20det 620 http://www.motormavens.com/2010/09/center-stage-datsun-620-warmachine-pickup-sr20de/ http://community.ratsun.net/topic/15875-chadcopelandcom-620-build/ Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 It becomes an exercise in proving that you have the money, tools, skill to do it, or have it done, more than does it need to be done. It's a truck and will never handle like a car. It's heavy and high centered. Yes it can be done, yes it will improve handling. If this is a drift project then no it won't help as you want maximum oversteer not improved handling. Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 . Can I fit a 6 ft wide subframe in a 52" wide truck???? Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 If drifting, the solid rear would be as good and likely better I would think. IRS is no advantage for this. Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Under heavy cornering where the IRS suspension is compressed or rebounds the camber is constantly changing. At extremes of travel the tire toes in causing the rear to steer the car. You can always add a 1" sway bar and mega stiff springs and shocks to limit this, but why not just run a solid axle? Zero toe in and camber only happens if the opposite wheel lifts off the pavement. IMHO IRS is for track or auto-Xing. For drifting, keeping a solid axle is easier than modifying an IRS to basically imitate a solid axle anyway. Quote Link to comment
