mcmlxxxv Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I dont know that it would have worked for me, but straight cut gears are not a stock or street thing. They are typically very noisy, but strong. Possibly close ratio as well. You probably had something there. I will check with the guy who have it now , I might be able to have it back Quote Link to comment
mcmlxxxv Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 impossible to get it back but , for those that could be interested it was a tranny from a fiat 124 or most rwd Lada with Colotti gear set :blush: should have sold it lol Quote Link to comment

Thx :) , im running on a low budget these times so I work with what I have did something funny tonight ! :D I flipped the rear wheels ahah looking much better , still too much camber tho ...(lot too much ...) a little bit of body filler too ... 1 Quote Link to comment
denis.drc Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I flipped the rear wheels ahah looking much better , still too much camber tho ...(lot too much ...) a little bit of body filler too ... I bet those wheel spacers will help make them fit even better.. ;) Quote Link to comment
mcmlxxxv Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 lol yeah , I will get the enkies rimmed in a few week and will make a fittement test ... I will need some brackets from Dave? well .. those on futofab to get the camber at the good place too.. plus some camber plates for the front .. I saw the top hat you did for your coilover setup it's pretty awsome , I might copy that if you dont mind :P Quote Link to comment

I saw the top hat you did for your coilover setup it's pretty awsome , I might copy that if you dont mind :P You mean the top hat with the needle bearing? That is a MUST! You don't want rotational force going into the spherical bearing. The rear kit that Dave sells is NICE! This one, right? http://www.futofab.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=78:datsun-510-rear-cambertoe-adjusters&catid=22:datsun-510-suspension&Itemid=22 Just remember that you need to either have stock rubber bushings or something else that allows articulation. It doesn't work too well with stiffer Delrin or full-metal bushings. Quote Link to comment
mcmlxxxv Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I might just cut the control arm and weld something like I did on the front control arm like a ball end or something like that if the bushing is too worn . it should be alright tho :) Quote Link to comment
mcmlxxxv Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 installed the wheels ... no real progress but it's damn motivating began to assemble the new engine (just kidding .....) those are parts from a train engine ... just took the pictures for fun :P I needed to sit in it now ahah Quote Link to comment
