    H150 fail point

    I honestly couldn't care less for my credentials. I'm not new to any of this. I don't understand why everyone acts like a dick head when someone comes up with a far fetched idea instead of taking the beaten path. Honestly in my group of car people no one questions each other, we support and help each other to figure out problems instead of acting like your to good to fuckin help people. But on a real note that kind of makes me happy, it drives me to disprove people. Im never one that finds gradifcation or self worth from others. Shit you may never hear from me again. I may not even do this. But in the end who actual cares and looses sleep about it at night? All I have found from this page is a bunch of unsupportive ass holes, all I wanted was for some one to help me with the question I had. Maybe my plans are over the head of a few of these members. Do I care? No. Do I act like a child about it... No...

    Ehh you clearly don't understand when a say a tube mount. The subframe isn't going to touch any sheet metal. I'm going to build a tube structure that mounts into reinforced areas of the chassis. And have the r200 will fit in the subframe in the b310... SMH

    Yeah, see the course I'm usually at the entry speed is anywhere from 60-75. So not really a slow track at all. So even on low power car toe in, little camber and a fairly stiff rear end helps out a lot. And like I said before this may be a TSL car in the future, and irs would be the only way todo it with 200hp. Considering some of the tracks have top of fourth entries. And the r200 will hold that power with no issues and I have a couple r200s just sitting, and I have coilovers for it. So all I would need to build is a custom tube mount and a custom drive shaft.

    Well IRS is extremely easy to stiffen... And no you don't want zero body roll it makes the car really twitchy and unpredictable on transitions. You couldn't understand this without actually setting up and testing a car. And on the rear we run a slight bit of rear camber and tow in which adds grip and keeps the tires flat on entries. If solid axel was so much better you would see them more in drifting. There is no adjustments on them. Which is horrible. If I'm running a faster course I add more toe in for more grip. When you actually get into drifting you realize the set up is barely different from a road race car at all. The stock four link is garbage. Solid rear axles are cool for donuts but actually building a competitive drift car needs adjustments. That's not an arguable fact. And this car may eventually compete in Texas street legal. I don't think I have ever seen a truely competitive 86.. They are really cool cars but really are not the best for drifting at all

    Yeah you are right about the lsd. If I already widen the body of the car I will have to have extremely low offset wheels. A low low offset ssr long champ goes for 1700+ a more normal offset wheel goes for 750+. Anything classic low off set is always over 1500. Having a wider track width (I don't like spacers) from the subframe makes up for the gap and having to buy crazy wide wheels, and then struggling to find wide tires for 14's

    It's a light spring rate for the s13. It will work perfect.. I don't think I've ever seen a non JDM CLSD. All i have seen in Nissans are the garbage VLSD's. Those things suck.. Who knows I may. But weld in flares were part of the original plan with this car. And it being wider makes it easier to use more affordable classic JDM wheels. More than likely long champs or some meshies.

    I understand that. But two main reasons I'm going s13 rear end. A) I hate ford. Lol B) when I break something I already have replacement parts. I would also rather not dick around with leaf springs when I already have coils for the s13 that almost have the perfect spring rate on them Not sure I or anyone else asked for your opinion. While we are throwing opinions out. I think your lame and people like you are fucking up the fun for the rest of us... Lol

    Thank you. That's all I wanted to know. I recently decided I'm just going to throw a s13 subframe in it and more than likely have todo some sort of fender flares, so the wheels don't hang out and look stupid. I believe it's about 3.5 inches wider on both sides, so this should be interesting at the very least.

    Honestly all this horrific things people talk about with locked rear ends have never happened to me or anyone I know. I under steered and high centered on the edge of a road, but that was my fault. Miss judged an off camber tightening radius corner on a mid night hill climb. No crazy traction loss or anything of that nature. Maybe if you were putting down some crazy ft/lbs. To this day I have yet to hear of any car under steering then suddenly breaking traction, quite frankly that doesn't even make sense to me. I gess you could faint and trail brake at the same time and maybe oversteer, while under steering, but you would really have to be trying to slide then.

    Oh okay, my last post was directed towards the other guy. But yeah welded diffs strain a lot more of the drivetrain for sure. But IMO it's worth it for how much fun they are. And they do cause quite a bit of under steer while "grip driving" I found less dampening and less spring rate helps out with that.

    LOL. I don't have any missiles, I plan to have one but not anytime soon. Throwing a KA into something isn't a big goal. No need to get butt hurt cause of the sport I do.. I'm just going to use a s13 subframe I have laying around and build a tubular mount for it. You clearly don't know how anal I am about the upkeep of my drift cars/any car I own for that matter. No need to get a stick firmly logged up you ass, because I enjoy what I do and have no plans to stop anytime soon, espically when whinny little girls start PMS'ing.

    The way I have always described it to people is, if you have a single hair on your nuts it won't bother you. Some of us don't I guess. Lol Or maybe you've never experienced one on the street? You never notice it except for parking. When driving normal the rear end isn't any more likely to kick out than a posi. Although if you don't drift, then you should think that's stupid.

    Well the trick is to plate them. I haven't heard liconln looking since I was a kid. Lol But no one seemed to be able to answer where the fail point in the rear end is?

    H150 fail point

    LOL. Fair enough. I street drove a s13 daily for well over two years with a welded diff. Honestly it doesn't bother me at all. I feel more weird not hearing the chirping now. Pretty much regardless of what rear end goes into it, it will be welded.
  15. I'm not planning to throw this together at all. I have a straight up drift car to finish building and maintaining. This is going to be a resto mod style project. That I would like to use as a street car and drift it when my actual drift car is down. Well I do all my own engine work. And really only need rings and bearings and I have a built engine. And I've got some good plans for a ford 8/9 inch with a fully custom coil set up. Also I am a fabricator by trade so these suspension set ups are pretty simple to modify. I'll run 280zx brakes and if I don't like it I'll just buy the techno will wood kit and make it work.
