datsunfreak Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I just have 160ft lbs of torque, if anyone has any experience with the H165 and drive like a maniac with a swapped motor please let me know I do. Don't ever put really sticky tires on it. B) 1 Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 I beat the living fuck out.of.my.A10 with a KA24DE.... Clutch drops at 6K just fine. Didn't you total the car shortly after finishing it, though? I'm thinking more long term, like 2-3 years down the road, not 6 months. 2 Quote Link to comment
Dmb3sge Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I do. Don't ever put really sticky tires on it. B) really ? I´m gonna look for tires and breaks this weekend and I was planning to buy something with Treadwear around 200-300. So ... I´ll be fine for 6 months? and then I`ll break my axels ... damn I could swap a rear end but I really want to keep it looking stock on the outside(not touching the fenders) plus I`ll probably run of $$$ to do it lol , I was even planning to get the LSD`s convertion kit but if the Diff is gonna die on me or well on my abuse maybe I should just use it for a couple of months and re visit my plan of swapping the whole rear end of an s13 or something like that.Just out of curiosity, have you broken a Diff or an axel ?

Um... Hm... Well... Yikes. A real, quality LSD 1.) Hard to find. 2.) Expensive. That $200 Phantom Grip you see on eBay ain't gonna cut it. A 200sx axle will be an upgrade and keep it as close to stock looking without going crazy. An S13 is IRS. You better have some fab skills and a welder. And more money. Get it running. Keep it simple. 1 Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 FAT stopped bidding on genuine Nissan one on Yahoo Japan at somewhere $800.+ BEFORE shipping ,, about a year ago. It went much higher Quote Link to comment
bananahamuck Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Get that Beams the fuck in there and haul ass till it breaks,,,,,,,, then fix what's broke... Repeat as necessary . 1 Quote Link to comment
Fat510 Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 If I find a 200sx disc rear, I'd be in there like swimwear (Sweet Nissan LSD would be sweet too) and I'd be pretty much got everything drivetrain-wise. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I´m gonna look for tires and breaks this weekend and I was planning to buy something with Treadwear around 200-300. That is at best average, not sticky. My daily has 240s I think? You'll be fine there. Sticky is like 140 or less, or tires that have the words "not for street use" on them. B) So ... I´ll be fine for 6 months? and then I`ll break my axels ...Just out of curiosity, have you broken a Diff or an axel ? You won't break an axle. What you will do is very quickly introduce a large amount of wear into the ring and pinion by applying more force than it is prepared to handle. Then it's going to start clunking, louder and louder, until that fateful day you do a burnout and break 3 teeth off the ring gear and have to call a tow truck. I pride myself on learning from the mistakes of others. Have I torn up/broken a diff? No. I've seen enough other people do it that I know better. ;) Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 I have trashed a few outer axle bearings from drifting, though... :rofl: Quote Link to comment
Dmb3sge Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 I have trashed a few outer axle bearings from drifting, though... :rofl: so the Phantom Grip is just another shitty product, well thanks for the heads up I was about to waist my money.The motor is already in!!! I posted some pictures on facebook( Finally after being an imaginary project on my head for years... it feels good B) ) though it won´t stay there for long it has go to paint shop next week if everything is in schedule. So well here is the plan: I m sticking with road legal tires (not going under 200), no LSD kits, no hard launches I´m guessing that dropping the clutch between 2000-3000rpm won´t destroy anything(please tell me I´m not wrong lol ). Btw after that comment I MUST ask : what engine were or are you running ? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Fuck your Facebook. You will find most of Ratsun.net does not use Facebook. Sharon is Karen. Quote Link to comment

Btw after that comment I MUST ask : what engine were or are you running ? Depends on which car. I've built maybe 50+... ^_^ What we damaged axle bearings in and had to replace them was an A15 1200 and an L20b B210. It's more about how you drive than what engine you have. Which was my original point. Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 The motor is already in!!!

I already tried the image button and it gives me an url option :confused: Damn 50 builds, this the first time I build something apart from legos lol Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 You have to use a third party host then copy the img url to your post here Quote Link to comment

Got it now, thanks to all! so here are a few pictures the original breaks: and I´ll be replacing them with these ones .. well not exactly those ones cuz I didn´t manage to find slotted Discs but the basics remain : 4pistons, 11" discs Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Locate some 280zx struts/brakes. Plenty of stopping power for what you want. Good calipers. Better rotors. Matched with good tires- more than enough whoa down for a 3sge. Probably cheaper than whatever overkill 4 pots you're currently shopping for. Quote Link to comment
Lockleaf Posted July 3, 2017 Report Share Posted July 3, 2017 Also, your Facebook pics are temporary here. Facebook automatically changes the links to your pics periodically so they don't have to act as a 3rd party host. So just fyi, your pic links will fail in a month or two. 1 Quote Link to comment

For what it's worth, it only does that on mine every once in awhile. Checks some posts from 6-8 months ago, maybe 90% of the pics still worked... 1 Quote Link to comment
