Yea I guess it is a little on the sad bastard side. Maybe I'll re-do it with a more upbeat song.

Thx Hurley. Yours was sweet.

 

Small update: replaced the outer front wheel bearings yesterday with hopes that it was going to get rid of the vibration I get at 65mph. The result was it helped a little but the wheel still vibrates at that speed. Ugh! I didn't take pics cause I figured everyone knows what bearings look like.

 

So since that didn't fix it next i will try balancing the one piece drive shaft i have and swapping it out. Also I should mention the front shocks are blown and the kingpins have some noticeable play. Damn it I will get this figured out!

There are a lot of things that can make a front end vibrate, if you have a loose front end and the toe is perfectly even, meaning no toe in or out, the whole thing could vibrate/wiggle, a very small castering type motion, and if you were to toe in a little bit it might stop.

I had this very long reply earlier that I erased about this, I also don't have any clue what negative camber, and riding on the bumpstops and/or shocks will do either.

 

Personally I would toe in a little and see if it changed anything, just remember what you do, so you can put it back the way it was if nothing changes.

 

Also I am assuming the wheels are balanced and round.

i got a sloppy front end it does a plethora of things at speed but adding new shocks helped,  then making the new upper mounts and increasing the travel helped too .....shocks dampen more then just the bumps .....mine also needs a alignment bad but dont wanna hear how i should re build the front end to make it really right..i should at least dial the toe in better... its easy enough to get close

Ok thanks guys. I didn't realize toe could affect it like that. Ill check it out.

 

The wheel bearings are bothered new. Inner ones about a year old and I cleaned everything in a solvent tank and packed them with clean frag grease.

 

Yea I dreading doing the kingpins. But I feel the time has come.

Hi guys I'm new to ratsun, figured I'd join to learn what I can about my new 521. It's a big project and I'm pretty much starting from scratch. The previous owner put a Nissan SR20DET engine in it but lost interest so that's where I come in. The engine is not running as it needs to be wired up (have an auto electrician looking at that) and a few mechanical things tidied up before its driveable. It has a huge abnoctious front mount intercooler on it which i intend to remove and hide a smaller one behind the grille. 

I don't have any pics to upload right now but will get into that for those who may be interested in seeing it.

I would like to know if anyone could tell me if the diffs on the 521's are strong? i.e will it handle the power from the 2 liter turbo sr20det engine?

Also does anyone know where i can find a rust free bonnet or even a fiber glass one?

 

Thanks!! :)
