Great work so far!

It would be good to see some examples of front double wishbone set ups on R32/R33/R34 GTR's but I think some people keep the details close to their chest. I for one would be interested to know if it can be done using the standard strut towers and pick up points (inner) for the front upper control arms.

i eliminated the bushes in the rear LCAs, converted to heims (just like i did with the upper arm). Also, me and a pro drifter friend of mine (forrest wang from hawaii) just finished 2 days of hard work on the vmount and aero, plus a serious front end ready to battle... I dont want to post pice until completed but you guys will really like it. huge adjustable front splitter also

Geoff....wouldn't it have been easier to just buy an EVO and fit one of your twin scroll GT35R or GT40R kits? :cheers:

Seriously though, what I am seeing is testiment to your dedication to making cars go faster - you have taken the "nothing is impossible" attitude in order to achieve that pursuit.

Lesser people (like me) would have given up at the thought of fitting a full RB26 and 4wd system into an S chassis. And the suspension modifications just makes my head hurt!

Cheers,

Ian

oh boy do i have updates... getting tuned on weds so i dont have any time to download pics or post. soon after tho ;)

Hi Full Car Geoff, very courageous work, and looks good. I take it you are butting the cradle to the chassis now, to raise rear roll centre? Being a later model Nissan so you don't need to change rear lower control arm squat angle, as I see the forward control arm bracket is near the seam of cradle, unlike Z32 and R32, S13 and early S14, which have too much anti squat.

Space front of diff snout down to get some diff pinion angle, so when you accelerate the diff wants to straighten and indirectly drives tyre into the ground?

I see strengthening of upper cradle mount brackets, good idea and Nismo sell these that bolt in, although welded is better.

Need to raise rear inner steering arm pivot pint to reduce toe change and have toe in under acceleration for better grip.

Happy to talk over the phone or come around if local? Cancel that I see you are accross the big pond.

Also see our site in motorsports section, to see what we have done to our zed. Our site might be down atm though. Zeds are very similar to GTR R32 and S14-15 other than MacPherson strut, although you changed this. You now need our pivoting top control arms.

We are currently doing lots of mods to a ZTT setting up for the track see this thread. I am Unique Zed

interesting choice on the rear LCAs, i would have thought (and did) that changing to full custom was better. Nothing special about the stock arms and pretty easy to replace with chromoly tube. Did you keep the standard rear LCA ball joints, we found it difficult to match an aftermarket cone for the ball joint socket (no machine shop readily available to me)

Yes it is Duncan with options to test and adjust and see, but depends on budget and we worked on this zed by raising the rear it raises roll centre and improves squat angle in one.

We will be raising rear inner steering pivot point next and plotting it, as in theory it should be better for toe change and toe in under acceleration.
