*Stolen* ProjectFeint 610

[bonvo]

why not just cut the stockers?

[ProjectFeint]

I was thinking about it but id rather not cut up the stock springs and just use them as rollers like micro said

[MicroMachinery]

^^^Good man. ;)

[ProjectFeint]

Got a set of d50 springs and ordered some kybs for the rear along with a little something special for the L20b ^_^

[ProjectFeint]

Soooooo Im in the process of changing the rear springs out, and I can't get the stockers out...

 

I unbolted the bumpstops and the shock, and it looks like the halfshafts are preventing the control arm from going any lower.

Can you take the top part of the bump stops off? Really lost :geek:

[MicroMachinery]

I didn't have to. Can you get in there with a prybar and move the arms down further? I didn't have to remove the halfshafts when I did mine.. I think it's just the resistance in the bushings that you're fighting.

[ProjectFeint]

That doesnt seem to be it, i put a scissor jack between the arm and body and its not really budging

[ProjectFeint]

[bonvo]

drop the half shaft thats all thats stopping the are from swinging freely

[Tristin]

You might be able to pry that rubber piece off the bottom of the arm... then slide the bottom of the spring out and then down. Otherwise youre going to have to disconnect the half-shafts to get them out.

[ProjectFeint]

I ended up dropping the whole subframe to take the old coils out. But that's good to know! thank you Bonvo and Trisitin! (Going to have to redo it again soon anyways)

 

Kybs

 

 

Cut one coil off the d50 springs and this is how she sits now

 

 

:cool:

[ProjectFeint]

Also....

 

[MicroMachinery]

D'oh! Had I seen that picture, I would have been able to tell you that those bump stops unbolt from the bottom. Good job, however :thumbup:

 

That engine's lookin' sharp. Specs?

[ProjectFeint]

Thanks, the engine is a bored l20b with l18 pistons,W53 head with ported intake ports, Polished crank, and a mild cam.

Also have a matchbox dizzy laying around and those dcoe 40s that I mocked up :)

[dobo]

god damn that's a sexy l series. i thinks that's gonna be one nice 610 to drive when its done!

[ProjectFeint]

god damn that's a sexy l series. i thinks that's gonna be one nice 610 to drive when its done!

 

Hope so! Ive fallen for the L series! It felt nice with the 60 hp barely running l18, Can't even imagine what she is going to be like with a decent powerplant

[Skib]

a well built L can be a lot of fun :cool:

[ProjectFeint]

50% off pick and pull today and snagged these seats

 

Saw this lonely 240z, took a look inside and pulled the nasty seat covers off like it was christmas.Thinking I should make a ratsun patch to cover that hole :lol:

 

 

[ProjectFeint]

I was lucky that hundred shot of nos only blew the welds on my seat :(

 

[bonvo]

i spy a subi in the backround

[datzenmike]

Im getting a roadster pressure plate, also read somewhere that there is some fitment issues with the 4 speed bellhousing and teeth of the truck flywheel?

 

Then again aren't all L - series transmissions compatible with each other in terms of engine to trans?

 

All L series auto 3 and 4 speeds and standard 4 and 5 speeds will physically bolt up to L4 and L6 motors, but there may be clearance problems with the larger clutches, yes.

[ProjectFeint]

i spy a subi in the backround

 

she's my track car while the 610 is soon to be my daily :P

[ProjectFeint]

Thanks for clearing that up Mike :)

[ProjectFeint]

Some small updates...

Bored the canon manifold to match the intake ports and soft mounted the carbs and got the linkage on.

Removed the clutch fan from the water pump and grinded down pulley.

Also got some new led socket holder thingys for the dash lights since the old ones kept falling out.

 

Bay is done and painted and L20b is going in within the week :baby:
