Solid Mounting Rear Subframe Confusion & Diff Friction Plate Question

[Risking]

If your machining them and have access to a mwither well then cut them into a C an make a few different thickness pairs

You'd be surprised how easy they are to change at the track and what a good running tool it can be once you are looking for that little extra grip in the rear without effecting the front too much.

Access to a mill as well...

Thanks for your advice Brad, much appreciated

Ended up spending a couple of hours on the lathe on Saturday making some aluminium spacers and bushes for the rear

We machined up two 4mm aluminium spacers to put in the rear of the subframe.

We're going to take your advice and make up a few 'C' shaped spacers for the rear of varying thickness's.

Old thread but how did this ever work out? I have the same exact problem but with poly driftworks bushes.....

Some of you had made up some spacers for the rear subframe. I had done the same but 4mm all around. I see you tried different thicknesses and that someone mentioned 2mm up front (of the rear diff) how did that work out and what was the final spacers used? Did you have to make them into wedges so everything cleaned up evenly when it was different heights or they just fit right?

Also, my brake lines are banjo tight and the car is up in the air meaning its just too tight and may bust when dropped back down anyone else had this issue with these? Or it could be my N1 diff flanges are longer than stock...

Why did the Gibson nissan/bathurst GTR's have welded plates into the top and bottom of the subframe bush locations with crush tubes if it was going to make the geometry worse??? My mate did the fab work for their cars back in the day and said they wanted to get the subframe as high as they could. Think they couldn't change the arm mounting points? Can't remember...

All the money of a race team or randoms off the internet. I know who I'd be trusting.

So many people waste time and money on here. Why they just don't go and talk to the right people I'll never know. I learnt more in an hour with this escentric bloke than I ever learnt off the forums in 10 years.

Look at Nemo. Race car builders built a car and it was fast...wow who would have expected that....

Btw Steve's built 4-5 bathurst winning cars incase you wondering it he has a background in racing. That was his life for 20 years.
