DREWSDIME Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Well hopefully I can put this cross member to use soon, I have only had it for a few years now! Hard to get work done where Im staying right now not much room in garage with my 2 door in there. My buddy has made a few of these cross members for KA swap with the KA rack and pinion also, everyone I know who got one of these still none in a running 510. Hopefully I can scrape up enough cash to have my friend Rod install KA for me. I used Por15 chassis coat on cross member and it came out OK I guess. I gotta get the rack and pinion rebuilt first and steering arm welded up. Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Looks good. What are the details of the rack and pinion setup? Quote Link to comment
DREWSDIME Posted August 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Well my friend has a jig and made this for me it was not cheap but I think worth it. Basically flipped crossmember center section and center section of Nissan 240sx 90-95 (I believe) cross member and graft into 510 cross member and also shorten arms on 240sx rack and pinion. I will post pics of rack and pinion after I get it rebuilt. I will try to using as many 240sx parts as possible for swap since i can get KA shit all day long brand new and from all the local yards. Im trying to make this swap as cheap as possible and last a while hopefully. I already have a rebuilt 1995 KA24DE calling my name everytime I open garage. Quote Link to comment
