SLO-030 Posted May 6, 2010 Report Posted May 6, 2010 Hey Rod, May have missed it, but how wide is the diff from hub face to hub face? and offset/back space on the wheels? CHEERS Ryan

13BT_KE20 Posted May 8, 2010 Report Posted May 8, 2010 youve done very well to build it for that price. Got any more vids?
JAZZA6 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Posted May 10, 2010 mate that is a mean as wagon and very cheap build . you must be farkin happy with the results :yes:
curly Posted May 10, 2010 Author Report Posted May 10, 2010 Thanks Guys, yes i am happy with it, almost finished and i,m already starting to look at the next one. maybe a full on race car this time
LXY-642 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Full on drag? Or going down the circuit route?
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted May 11, 2010 Report Posted May 11, 2010 Usually for the drags 3spd's are usually considered too bulky and 1st gear is too short. But I'm sure Rod would know this !jamie.gif Imagine your 4 speed from your 4kc engine, but smaller, that is a C4. I can take pictures side by side if you like. The aforementioned jatco is a big bitch, but has a 4th gear, so great for the street. In a light turbo car a 3 spd auto is not considered 'ideal', but is a great compromise for the street.
cuzzo Posted May 12, 2010 Report Posted May 12, 2010 Got a gearbox yet :blinks: ? Manual or auto is the question. If you go auto you'll have to up the boost to 35psi just to compensate :(
_FNQ_rolla_ Posted May 12, 2010 Report Posted May 12, 2010 So what’s the plan . . . . . . change this one into a full on race car, or start from fresh. keep up the good build.
curly Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Posted May 12, 2010 So what’s the plan . . . . . . change this one into a full on race car, or start from fresh. keep up the good build. Na ill keep this as an everydayer, wheres all the pics

If you go auto you'll have to up the boost to 35psi just to compensate :( HP isn,t my problem, I'm just not sure if I'm ready for an auto, i think it will run a 10s now if i get it right, but then if i want to keep doing it i have to do the cage and other stuff which isn't the point of this car
