bonvo Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 why the 240 suspension? in the rear i can see it but in the front i never liked what it does to the truck especially when you can convert to qa1 coils using the original truck stuff and not have to build huge ugly shock towers in the bay Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 240Z suspension is an awful choice. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Why? Because the truck suspension is not designed well in regards to bumpsteer, toe, and caster effects during bumps and turning. And it gets even worse when lowered. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hmmm .. dual a-arm suspension is generally superior to McPherson strut ... Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Yea if we are talking Mustang II ok. But this is a truck, for hauling loads. Not for road carving. It just wasnt set up the best. Go read the CA18DET 521 build. They went through the front suspension pretty well. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I was talking generally. To set up for road carving, 620 alignment is adjustable. 240Z is not adjustable except toe-in unless modified. Quote Link to comment
TheArtist Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 thats pretty much what the plan is, maybe miata coilovers in the rear to keep the bed stock but i doubt that will happen. Quote Link to comment
Russell Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 i would look at a full subaru drive train swap like 92-99 impreza legacy EJ18, EJ22, EJ25. I've never seen it done and I really want to do it to my 521 but college happened lol some day I'll do this. Quote Link to comment

BlackBird620 Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 talk about having to pull the motor to change plugs Quote Link to comment
TheArtist Posted April 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 im thinking if this SR is bad that im going to just go to the VQ35 and turbo it. ive already done that in my maxima and the engines are cheap and all over the place. Quote Link to comment
Laecaon Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 talk about having to pull the motor to change plugs Nope. They drilled holes in the inner fenders. Remove a wheel, extension, and its out. And I think its an EJ20T considering its RHD. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 So the 510 engine bay is big enough for a boxer ... I like that! Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted April 7, 2014 Report Share Posted April 7, 2014 this does not constitute fitting to me i shouldnt have to pull the wheels and tires off my car or if i dont want to drill holes in my strut towers pull the engine tyo do a freaking tune up that and it just doesnt look right in the bay to me 1 Quote Link to comment
