Dam this build is great, how much more steering angle did you gain from the bmw rack compared to stock? And did you use the stock mounting points?

I don't know what stock angles are. The car has a whole differant crossmember and rack mounting position

Just curious why did you stay with the R180 over an R200? I feel like the r180 may crumble to pieces when you hit boost.

 

Also , holy fabrication thread. I love it.

The rear tires are M/T drag radial 2s 205/50/14 I may not have the traction to brake anything we'll see. Right now I'm rasing the diff 2.5" to strighten the halfshafts. I do have the 27 spline wheel axels, 240 halfshafts with neapco bruteforce ujoints and yes the r180 (3.36) I'll have some pics soon the the diff raising and I left room for a r200 up grade.

With those tires you will have plenty of traction. But I don't know if you will break anything. I never did, but I have a 280Z with the stronger stubs and an R200 (open). With a good clutch and drag radials I tore the crap out of a stock diff mount, but that's it.

 

I witnessed Shane breaking an open R200 off the line, with a 400hp L28ET. He ran slicks and 280ZX CV shafts.

The engine should be able to achevie 450 Ft/LBS (@ flywheel) at the line with the 8" converter I have x 1.76 low gear = 792 FT/LBS at the pinion x 3.36 rearend ratio = 2661 FT/LBS at the rear axels /2 = 1330 at each diff stubshafts, I don't think these numbers will be devastating to a welded r180 especially with the low shock of the auto trans. I'm thinking and hoping my tires are the fusable link. I guess we will all find out. :)

My obsessiveness sometimes gets the best of me. I couldn't help myself, the axel flanges had a few thousands (.003"-.004") face run out so I make this tooling to true them in the car. Also trued the wilwood hats (inside and out) to the rotor.
