just read the whole thing. this guy is a real fabrication wiz! i am insanely jealous of his skills and workshop. very clever that he is designing all this shit himself too. just wow...

he's doing literally everything i want to do to my car with the exception of the 1uz-fe. though im sure dennis will like that part.

inspired.

Very nice build!

It is a UK thread, so if you plan on doing all this to cars in Aust check your registration authorities, because what he is doing isn't completely legal in Aust. Registration authorities in Aust don't like welding cross members, wether it be bracing or not and engineering would be compulsory.

Remember if you plan competing your car in anything CAMS affiliated, just one rose joint means "Sports Sedan Class" without exception.

Cheers, D

thanks for the heads-up man. dunno what a rose joint is though... what is it?

[Ghostrider]

Where he has fabricated the all new lower control arm, he has an Rose Joint (Ball joint thingy) where it mounts to the rails/cross member.

And another member of the forum is now enjoying my 1UZFE V8 Cressida. With 2 x PNV's, an DR, Jackaroo & Cressida in the stable, I can't drive them all so something had to go and reluctantly, it was the V8 ultimate tourer/cruiser. With LPG/Diesel getting fitted this week, the Jack will now take over my daily role.

Cheers, D

Very good job, a lot of attention to detail.

but does make me sad when the car is hacked up for cages and other makers engines are put in.

Rust everywhere in these cars.

Thanks for sharing! Awesome read.

And here I was thinking that my coilover adapters where an engineering masterpiece :,(

Wish I had the initiative to do some of these/similar stuff to mine. Can't wait till the next installment.

This is not true.

Plenty of rose joints in Datsuns in non sports sedan CAMS classes. Just need to broaden your horizons.
