Phixius Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 are you gonna integrate the skyline shock towers to the 510? or some one off costume suspension? Quote Link to comment
510sss68 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 all the skyline suspension will be used mounted to the custom chassis rollcage Quote Link to comment
Phixius Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Well, If you pull this off.. You and Bob3 are real life Forza miracles .... 2 Quote Link to comment

Ratwagon1600 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Fuck me! (statement by the way,not an offer) it does live. I've got a WC 34 series 1 Stagea (currently unregistered). Got to admit, I pondered doing an AWD conversion in my 1600 racecar but decided it would just be way too hard. Good luck if you pull this off, it will be a weapon. Keep the pics coming, Ratsunners are pic whores, especially with something like this build. Quote Link to comment

Ratwagon1600 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 you all doubted me !!! haha :P Not doubt per se, more so Aussie pride on the line :) You came through though (with a fuckload of credibility) and that's what matters! We must be the only two Aussies inhabiting this site that can't sleep at the moment. Just found your Gumtree WTB add. Quote Link to comment

captaingamez Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 why didnt you use the rb26? you are going to have to buy one anyway to to the front wheel drive portion. the rb26 is the only one that is 4wd stock so it has the integral oil pan/differential on it. plus you will need (or rather for the sake of ease want) an rb26 transmission with the transfer case, aditionally, if you want to work the ATESSA system you will need the computers and sensors, or you can also lock it up, or other things, I have read some interesting atessa hacks, but usually you will want the whole system intact, even on the r32 drivetrain. I am very interested to see this done you will probably have to swap most if not all of the front suspension, or make custom axles and do all kinds of custom craziness up front, remember that the gtr uses dual wishbone in the front and the axles pass through them, you could use a cheaper macstrut setup like is stock, but you will end up modding more i think, and either way you will need custom axles. this car will be very evil when done though. the cage would be the absolute last thing on my agenda, cause you may end up cutting it back out for the build. 1 Quote Link to comment

aintnobiscuit Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 FYI, if you post a link and the [/img] portion is on the line below the image, that's why it says that message about not accepting the file extension. Awesome build. Can't wait to see more. Subscribed :) Quote Link to comment

I assume the rb25 in your pictures is for mockups. 1 Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 RB+510= holy sheep shit. I've seen a 510 well bluebird actually in Japan with a RB swap with extended front end was super fast good luck I will keep an eye out on this build! 1 Quote Link to comment

Not true. There were other awd rb setups, not just the 26. 1 Quote Link to comment
510sss68 Posted May 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 yes i have both 25 and 26 AWD :) Quote Link to comment
captaingamez Posted May 24, 2013 Report Share Posted May 24, 2013 the rb25 AWDs only came in automatic tranny. except the r32 gts-4 which had a manual. but it was an rb20 1 Quote Link to comment
its_karl Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 That one didnt have the electrontic power distribution, as i recall it was simply mechanically awd. Which still in many cases is preferable. Oh and I love this build, I was originally wanting to do this with a 620 pickup. Before I knew the following that Datsuns held. I was a farm kid from Idaho, a couple years into the military and overseas in Okinawa almost 10 years ago now (if I knew then what I had know now I would have filled shipping containers with 180's 240's R32's MarkII's and everything between). 1 Quote Link to comment
