    Yes. And if using another year Subaru rack, then I think 86 Celica inners are what you want. Or for example an STI rack.

    So you spent 3 times as much money for weaker parts with bad geometry... brilliant. All jokes aside, if the s30 tie rods are too short, you have serious UNCORRECTABLE bump steer issues. See, the s30 rack is already too short for an easy replacement to be found for power steering add ons etc.... and that's with stock steering knuckles. The mustang knuckles allow the use of factory length Subaru racks to be used with either Celica inners or s80 Volvo inners, depending on the year of the rack... all the while maintaining correct geometry for bump steer and improving geometry on lowered cars over stock s30 setups. And BC is a great company, they offer custom coilovers for the neon as well for a great price. So getting high end custom valved and sprung bc coilovers from them will still leave you with a cheaper, stronger and better stopping set up.

    No worries, plenty of pressure coming from me. I'm in Oregon again and hoping to have it all together before I need to leave in a week.

    Thanks, yeah baby Luke had surgery at 6 days old, and has had many surgeries since then and many more to go.
  5. Invincibleextremes
    I never stopped working on this, and will see this through to the end. This is my son Luke, he is 9 months old, and was born with half a heart. It's a rare condition called hypoplastic left heart syndrome. It's fatal without emidiate surgery and even so it's an uphill fight to make it past puberty. He's had several heart surgeries and his first one was the hardest, with his chest being held open for a week. Reason I'm even bringing this up is to get the back story of what we're up against, and what has been taking so long. While we as a family were in the hospital in San Diego for 8 months I spent a lot of time researching everything currently available for high hp datsuns and the prices, weak links and other issues i came across currently on the market. I then dipped into my personal gun collection (which is a shadow of its former self now) and over time purchased parts for this conversion, while measuring and doing more research as I went along. I just recently finished up the actual design and have test fit everything and plan to road test it all soon. I just want everyone to know that any hold ups I have aren't because I'm vacationing in Europe or have lost interest in 240z cars or playing with other toys. So long story short, if I can make this kind of progress while fighting the fight of my life, you can bet your butt I'm seeing this through. And yes I'm seriously considering doing a tacked together kit as well for the diy types. But just to make it clear, I will absolutely NOT be sharing or selling blueprints or CaD files. I sacrificed what little bit of time and money I didn't even have to spare to bring something like this to market, and I don't intend to give it away. It will be the cheapest, strongest and most versatile bolt in diff setup you can put into these datsuns. But it wont be free. And no, this isn't my first rodeo on bringing something to market where there was a need. The 2014 mustang disc brake adapters I've designed for classic mopars have saved a few dozen people a total of 30k if not more so far. And yes, have put food on my table and diapers on my kids when we needed it most.

    Quick update, rough prototype is finished and test fitted in car and on the diff itself.
  7. Invincibleextremes
    Yes the same will work for left hand drive. The videos go into detail on anything you need. Just finished up the dash and put in the steering column as well.
  8. Invincibleextremes
    Swapped the rack over. Came out perfect, very happy with it. Here's the video overview.
  9. Invincibleextremes
    Well the lava stopped... flying out tomorrow or Wed to pick this back up.
  10. Invincibleextremes
    On the jeep one I had to yes, fairly easy though. I think I pulled out the jeep one and replaced it with the datsun one... and put the c clip back in.
  11. Invincibleextremes
    1979 to 1986 cj7 jeep master is 13/16 Or something like that and is $35... bolts right in. Worth a shot. Supposed to be 7/8
  12. Invincibleextremes
    Bingo.
  13. Invincibleextremes
    Just finished up the lava thing I was doing in Hawaii. Heading to Oregon next week. You're welcome to come on down and say hi, see my progress, provide input from and outside point of view etc. I'll be there for a few weeks, and hope to finish it up.
  14. Invincibleextremes
    Parking brake?
  15. Invincibleextremes
    2015 mustangs use dual balljoint setups as well. Which is the reason I went with the 2014 mustang spindle on my single ball joint setup. Just something to look into if you're set on a set up.
  16. Invincibleextremes
    The super 8.8 in a nodular iron case will handle that no problem. And yes I will be offering a bolt in kit, that's the entire idea with this. My own personal goal is to have a street driven 1,000 plus hp 240z widebody with 275mm and 315mm tires, so our interests align, that's for sure.
  17. Invincibleextremes
    To be honest, in your shoes, I would go with the techno toy tuning setup. Then use 240sx brakes, not z32. The bearing mounts are the same, and parking brake is built into the caliper. Win win. Your only problem will be they make the uprights only work with their strut, but that's easily adapted to any modern coilover. Also, it's 500 for a pair, not bad pricing. 240sx will let you stay 4 lug, just use shortened 240sx cv axles and that's it.
  18. Invincibleextremes
    Yeah, hit me up
  19. Invincibleextremes
    Went with srt4 coilovers because they have both a cheap market and high end ones available. The front spindles are 2014 mustang brakes, which do have plenty of options. I had to drop everything and come deal with the lava situation here in Hawaii so it'll be a few weeks before I can pick it back up. Good news being that I already have the 315 tires, so I'll be able to drop the car back on its wheels and test it all out once I come back to oregon.
  20. Invincibleextremes
    Yeah, I've seen failed chromoly cages and control arms that have failed, not a pretty sight.
  21. Invincibleextremes
    Definately glad you guys are pitching in with ideas.
  22. Invincibleextremes
    Thanks, had to stop and go to a different state for a few weeks, but hoping to get back to it soon and go drive it some more, but with the new suspension and diff.
  23. Invincibleextremes
    Regular mild has been great for the brake brackets that I've been building, so I'm seriously leaning towards that. And there's less chance of making it brittle, which is something I want to avoid at all costs. Uncle Sam has me pretty much booked till July, so I'm a few thousand miles away doing my thing. Brainstorming in the mean time but can't physically cut and fit anything. At least my driveshaft adapter and 315 rear tires are there, so I'll be able to do some vigorous durability testing once I bolt it all in.
  24. Invincibleextremes
    I'll look into 4130, it's easier to machine, so my brother will have an easier time with providing me with the perfect fit spindle pin sleaves...
  25. Invincibleextremes
    The Nissan and the ford hubs are completely different. And since techno toy tuning offers a really nice Nissan part for a decent price I don't think I'll be offering a Nissan specific upright. I could drill the holes for a Nissan hub if needed, but I'm not seeing any reason to bother except for people who really want it for some reason. Still debating on material, meaning towards something mild, to avoid cracking, and definately won't be stainless. Open to suggestions actually, but I see no reason why someone with a mig and gas bottle couldn't finish it themselves.
