I am doing research for parts, and best practices for just this type of install. I live in Midway, UT and would like to see this swap in an actual car and talk to you as an owner/builder if you have time and interest.

Please contact me at 435-671-7862 or email me at: warren.rohrer44@gmail.com

the stock shaft was right in the way of the mounts.

 

i went with willward steering components because they made u joints that connect directly to the datsun rack!

 

i did something similar to emrwhyrohen's setup.

Pretty Cool...   Oh on those Steering linkages.  I'm just using spare 280Z steering Ujoints in mine.  The stock steerign column I'm shortening to about 18" and going to use the 350Z tilt column in place. I don't really have to have Tilt, but it'll be a fun detail. The Ujoints are compatible with the 350Z steering yoke, and they fit the top where the stock steering wheel fits. I only needed two spares from the Z graveyard.

Nice build, how is the weight and distrib with this set up? The car sits low, what spring rates are you using, and any comments on handling from the track? I'm starting softer with 250 ft/200 rr with slightly higher ride height. Are you running track days or sanctioned events?

thanks! the radiator actually works really well that way. the fan comes on being controlled by the factory relays. i think i used the low speed output from the IPDM to control the low speed on the fan. im going to see if i can get away with just that for now. I run running no thermostat as well because it heats up pretty quick anyway, within a few minutes. I was having issues with coolant not flowing, after multiple attempts to bleed the system it just never worked out so i pulled it. that steering wheel is an old Tomei wheel ive had laying around forever, i finally get to use it on something.note taken on exhaust, ive wanted to remake my center pipe for a while, but it will have to wait, i have a track day on the 6th of october, gotta hurry.here are some updated pics. Got the test fit CCW classic! these wheels are so awesome.2012-09-25_22-38-45_734.jpg2012-09-25_22-38-03_198.jpgIMG_2307.jpg
