thomo Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 ive fitted the ae71/ke70 x/member to my 30, bit of cutting and drilling to get it on the chassi rails, use the 30 sway bar and drag links, getting the collom in is a fair prick of a job, the pedals fowl on the base of it a bit, and the 30 indicator wont fit so you have to wire in a 70 one, not tohard but with the differences in the looms, hazzard light switch will activate ign mad camber on the front too! good for corners, crap on rubber Quote
oh what a nissan feeling! Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 I believe I will be able to convert the ke30 steering to rack and pinion, I have done the measurements and it looks easily do able. Would be interested to see how you go with this, if you are using a ke30 crossmember. Keep us updated on the progress. Quote

thomo Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 why the f@$k do i bother answering questions and why do people ask them, you have some half baked idea what you want to do, the fact that someones answered your question and told you what to expect, your still going to do it your way, good luck, it wont work, the angle is wrong between 30 column and the 70/71 rack, it needs to be recessed 100mm or the angle will bind bad mood, deal with it Quote

thomo Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 mines a track car, 1 deg camber, perfect, don't care about tyre wear yes put the rack on a 30 x/member, but don't think you should try and mate it to the original column and have you considered just shortening the original 30 eng mount brackets, the 71 has a shorter step where it mounts the chassie rail, using the brackets of it will raise your motor causing trans tunnel, bonnet or firewall clearance issues Quote
