mainer311 Posted August 5, 2019 Report Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) I suppose he's also singlehandedly raising the resale value of our Datsuns. Keep going! Edited August 5, 2019 by mainer311 2 Quote Link to comment

Do yourself a favor and look up the OS Giken TC24B1Z. Completely nuts. It goes for 1775.00, lets say I got a little deal on it. You know it is a overkill but I just want to do it right. I am having Currie enterprises build me a rear end. And I have a KA24DE Trans that should be fine after it gets massaged. 1 Quote Link to comment

Duncan Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 That's some hella-snazzy rear axle there, Bro. You gonna throw some huge meats in the rear? Looks like you'll gain some room for that.. Sheepyrace? If I was a sheep around you, I'd be pretty nervous when you have those boots on... 2 Quote Link to comment
Stoffregen Motorsports Posted August 17, 2019 Report Share Posted August 17, 2019 I just narrowed a rear axle for a Sunbeam Alpine project. We used a Toyota AE86 axle and narrowed it 2.375" per side to fit big tires. Thought about a custom housing, but this car is a sleeper, except for the 20V 4AGE under the hood... 2 Quote Link to comment

mrbigtanker Posted August 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2019 Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Untitled by raymond medeiros, on Flickr Then I took my baby on a longer drive same night to the IE meet. She did well, however I need to make a new Turbo oil feed line as this one is too close to turbo. Also she is running real hot, bottom radiator hose is leaking simple fix, and need to make a custom one off overflow catch can. 3 Quote Link to comment
