What have you done on the Rear? At first I thought the front's were going to cause me the most problems, but after actually looking at what's involved then it really isn't the case

I was thinking about ditching the springs then fitting S13 coilovers to the shock mounts, then it looks like I'd need to fabricate and weld in some new towers.

Thing is... I can't weld!!!

Yeh the biggest issue is the mounting of the top. Unfortunately the tower is very narrow.

I just had lowering springs and gas shocks on the rear. I never ended up trying anything out

JackieFan · #13 14-09-2006, 11:43

What shocks are you using? (assuming it's not the Monroes i'm collecting on Saturday

)

30psi · #14 14-09-2006, 11:52

Yeh you are getting my rear shocks.

I'm not using the S12 anymore. The engine is going into something else

JackieFan · #15 14-09-2006, 11:54

Oh I see!! Fair enough! Have you got shot of the S12 then?

Any clues as to what you're dropping it in?

30psi · #16 14-09-2006, 11:59

Nope you'll see the S12 on saturday looking very poorly. I would take you out in it, but I havent even driven it since putting standard rusty discs on and it has no rear shocks at moment lol

The engine is going into a Datsun 910 2 door

Shame, would have been cool to see what i'm trying to head towards in action! Nice choice for the engine swap! Don't see to many of those about!

I can't remember if you were running the DET or ET lump

30psi · #18 14-09-2006, 12:16

Its an ET with a DET block:

JE Forged pistons
Piper cam
Ported head
Vernier Pulley
Adapted DET inlet manifold
Cossie T3 turbo

Its currently on standard management at 240bhp but have some 550cc injectors and DTA for it when its dropped in the Datsun

JackieFan · #19 14-09-2006, 12:30

Nice! That's exactly the route I was looking at for mine. I was going to post a thread asking if anyone had put the DET block under an ET short engine!... No need to bother now

30psi · #20 14-09-2006, 12:37

Yeah it means at a later time I can use the DET head which will no doubt see much more power. Mine will prob only get up to 270bhp at 20psi.

The S13 coilovers are going on the Datsun, with Z32 discs and calipers...
