If you imagine looking down inside the driveshaft tube at the bent U-joint, you will see that it spins in an elipse or oval. It speeds up and slows down as it turns and because it is mechanically connected to the engine mass which tries to turns at a steady rate, there is vibration. As far as driveshafts go, less angle is better, however with any angle, vibration can be reduced by having two U-joints arranged at each end so that the acceleration/decelerations will mostly cancel each other out. Obviously the two U-joint angles must be the same or equal for this to work. The angle at the transmission to the drive shaft must equal the drive shaft to the differential. As shown below: http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q251/datzenmike/Tranny/transdriveline.png[/img]"] In the case of a two piece drive shaft the same applies. Treat each half as a separate drive shaft. Input must equal output. BTW BEEBANI gave me the tutorial on this. I only hope I remembered it correctly. Quote Link to comment

Greiggy Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Liking the round notches & good progress! Was wondering..whats the P next to the license plate? in australia we have a licencing system where you are on a provisional licence for 3 years - during that time there is a power to weight ratio limit on cars, and also total ban on driving performance cars ( turbo/supercharge or V8) Quote Link to comment

peanut2425 Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 lookin good, is there going to be enough clearance for the 20's up front? how far are you going to body drop it? looks like you got a L series engine and some disk brakes on there already and bag on bars I see, good choice and looks like a cracker of a work space and I see 4 grinders in 1 pic, why on earth do you need 4? When are you planning on having finished by? Quote Link to comment
nosh1t Posted December 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 finsh date hmmm wel 4 grinders one im a carpenter so two are work grinders and the other 2 was a deal at a magnamart shop in ablino park rail its like bunnis and it was when i broke a work grinder 20 inch rims will be fine in the rear and pushing it in the from boday droped to the rocker and not like how you done it peanut because i will need the inch half or what eva it was you cut off i'll be running a 30 by 30 4 mm wall on the ground and weld that on the back of the rocker and make the tub line up far as the from gose have to z notch the front of the frame 85mm (2 and half inchs rought translation) or maby 2 inchs if im lucky with the changes im going to do to the bottem control arm done nuthing to day but check measure ments and figure out the front end and the pinnio angle issue (where i fucked up) layin have to make the cross member go up 35 mm (inch and a half) genrall ride hight ryan.

nosh1t Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 g'day ratsun well i got rite back in to it today and hit it slow with out any steel suppers opened and no 4mm plate to make a notch for my front end. ----------------- motorivation plus ----------------- and i all so had the time burn my hand a+ for enought because i burn it good got two fingers and my thom is white i work on as any one would do so i got some new toys measure up before un bolting the bottem control arm mark a center line and square that up and cut it off making it esayer to make template so then i cut the bottem control mounting patten out flat dics (grind off bers) till smooth and got it ready to be used as a template for making the blot holes out clean it up ready for welding and marking out marked it out like so plasma cut it out, cleaned it up and marked the mounting holes out looking good clean its not finshed but its enought to bolt it back on so i did there we go and i took the engine out because im going to have to z the front of the frame tomorrow ryan. thanks for reading and comments Quote Link to comment
Figbuck Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 Noice! We need to come up with a rating system for cool or hipness. Like crossed rat-wrenches or something. Brotha Ryan here is working on four crossed wrenches so far. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Quote Link to comment

nosh1t Posted December 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 demanding more picture i could put some up of my famaily at christmas time ? joking im going to go work on it now all the picture from now will be of body work because i have ran out of steel Quote Link to comment
peanut2425 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Why do you need to do a z? Is it just because the top ball joints are binding? If so you can just pie cut your upper control arms. Quote Link to comment
airedout Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 Cool, its always good to see another bagged datsun. You may want to look into lowering your drive shaft hoop with the upper links mounted on it. Your geometry would be much more correct a good bit lower, right now it looks like you have no instant center at all. Just my 2 pennies. coming along nicely, keep up the good work!!!

hacked521 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 wow, looking good. deffinately digging the progess of your work. The notches in the back flow with the frame pretty good, wish I would have done that on mine a little better. like airedout said about your driveshaft hoop, lowering it could help your geometry out alot. Other than that, it looks really good. Nice welds too, looks like you got alot of heat into them. Quote Link to comment
nosh1t Posted December 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 lol thanks peanuts yes that is why i had to z the frame and pitty i have oready done so but main reason is that im using 20 insh wheels and they will have no camber at ride hight and i still need to do what you said and make a custom upper arm but i will do that when i can get some steel with the rear end i see no problem with the 4 link set up or the hoop so not sure thanks anyway ryan.
