mrbigtanker Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 It might be the toirson bars man, they might be cranked down? when you do the coilovers set up your supposed to remove them aswell. witch is the point why alot of use do this set up. when bebanni did his thread he said that 350 was good enough and 400 was stiff on his ka. torson bars are quit heavy so removing them might help, i also relocated the battery to the rear so that helps too lol Ok, he removed the torsion bars and im doing fox coil overs myself.I guess my point i was trying to make is if the KA/Sr20's are heavier then the L series,so then you might need heavier springs.but if the 400's work then right on.

socaldatsun Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 The 620 truck is back on the road! Thanks again to the hard work from my friends at R Rated Motorsports in Ontario. They installed all new coil overs which required a ton of cutting and welding. New Kingpin kit, new bushings for the sway bar, torsion bars, and control arms. Everthing was cleaned and powder coated to match. They even spent a full day adjusting my powersteering so I would get full turns without rubbing. The 400 lbs springs are OK on ride hieght, but now strong enough to support the heavier KA24DETs weight. Not to mention my own pounds I seem to keep packing on. Here are a few shots now that she back at home for a few test driving miles. Smashed springs when its on the ground equals no travel! IDK if he did man? and might be the shocks, i do see that he used a difrent shock looks a little short. i asked BEE to see whats going on, i know that bottoming out the shcoks voids the warranty so i dont want that to happen on $500 shocks Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted May 25, 2012 Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 I was thinking he is not the only guy that had problems with 400# springs,i cant think of the other guy,also if you check on page 3 of al allen's truck you will see the torsion bars all cut out.i will try to find out who the other guy is.just hate to see you buy or go through he work if its not going to work or waste money,like i said im doing it to so i would like this figured out to before i buy and fly.

socaldatsun Posted June 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Hey guys just an up date! Got the cab off and sat the motor in, its ALOT easier not having to worry about any body parts getting in the way and just having the bare frame. The KA mounts fit nicely on the 620 motor mouts but not exactly *flush* the is a little angle difrence between the mounts and that engine brackets. the transmission mount fit perfect but it was alreadt modified by the PO. It kinda does sit a little low though. the only challenge i have is trying to fit the turbo intercooler cause it is prety massive! since i am getting bucket seat i want to go with a hand E-brake, any sugestions on with car to snag one from? cant think of anything else for now and this time i will make sure to come through with the pictures :) Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 good job bro,there is some one on here that switched one out but i dont remember who.got dome pictures please. Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted June 27, 2012 Report Share Posted June 27, 2012 Look for an 2001 or earlier Maxima. Maximas used a spring loaded e-brake caliper like the Isuzu calipers. Some VW's did. Obviously Isuzu used this design also. Some earlier rear disc Pathfinders might be the ticket. Anything would work really. Go to speedways website. Might find something usable there.

socaldatsun Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Evo8 turbo intercooler. going to chop radiator suport to push this as far in as possible. Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 driver side motor mount pulleys have enough clerance passenger side mounts. both have to be cut at an angel to have them sit flush transmission mount was already modified when i got the truck. it also fit my L motor so maybe the stock one doesnt need to be modified eather?

socaldatsun Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 T25 turbo need a top mount manifold to clear the steering columb and the oil line will not clear the frame with this manifold relocating the E=brake aswell cause the exhaust will not clear. removing that braket on the frame aswell Quote Link to comment
socaldatsun Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 some one said i have a vg30 tranny witch is why the yolk didnt fit. can some one help me out on that one? I saw some of the 510 guys putting a 3'' hole in there rear crossmember to run their exhaust so im going to do the same with the trasmission crossmember where the toirson bars use to be.
