VERY VERY HAPPY!, was not expecting this to work!

[pwalker]

after having the car up on a ramp in our unit the other week and jokingly holding up some parts we had laying around and thinking "hmm that actualy might fit lol" we decided today to give it a go for the hell of it. and got a very pleasent surprise that it actualy seemed to fit..... basically my front left suspension set up now looks like this....

POW!....s13 bilstein coilovers with s13 driftworks arms! and s14 hubs! and r33 disks... the best part is that all the arms were pretty much a straight fit! :|

looks asif its jacked up on the other side lmao!... the original shock tower is higher than the bonnet now sits on its own haha. it needs raising up a bit from how it is atm and the anti rol bar needs a little mod to fit but didnt have time today im just ****ing impressed it worked with very little work!, hopefully i can find another s14 hub and can get the

[stribo]

I think it's probably safe to say, you're the first person to have done that.

[theflyingbrick]

nice result there mate,love those wheels as well ;)

[T5RPete]

Holy crap that's some lock you've got there!!

[Biff]

Fair play to you on working that out.
Nice bit of lock too! ;)

[pwalker]

I think it's probably safe to say, you're the first person to have done that.

well we knew huxley had fitted s13 suspension to his bdc 240 and saw how close it looked so we gave it ago :P


cheers yeah i love the wheels :p, the problem is i dont know whether to get some more spacers or not now, i had volvo to jap 50mm spacer adapters and was going to use over arches but obviously now the front is just jap fitment anyway so i cant use the spacers. but not sure wether to get some j5x114 spacers and use my arches or just roll the arches a bit and run it as is

[smithy]

Weldone there sir

[pwalker]

Fair play to you on working that out.
Nice bit of lock too! ;)

we might be able to gain a bit more lock but tbh im not too bothered it looks pretty good as it is, will have to test it out before i even think about bothering to train gain some more. the steering might go over centre etc so will have to test it out

[pwalker]

Weldone there sir

cheers, i feel like there is potential to open up a world of options to the volvo comunity from this haha, hopefully it will all work when it comes to testing it

[stribo]

cheers, i feel like there is potential to open up a world of options to the volvo comunity from this haha, hopefully it will all work when it comes to testing it

It won't help us front wheel drivers. ;) But yeah, could be a great mod for the RWD cars.

[martybelfastt5]

lol WIN!!

[AndysR]

Wow look at that camber! Nice find and the lock you've got! Six pence isn't the word!! Lol

[pwalker]

Wow look at that camber! Nice find and the lock you've got! Six pence isn't the word!! Lol

i dont think the pictures actualy do the camber justice, il have to get some better ones tomorow from the front, possibly could get a bit more out of it but i dont want more, certainly more than the usual volvo "camber mod" haha. still might encounter some sort of issues yet like im trying not to get too excited about it untill its tested haha

[wiganer31]

very nice, hope it all works well when tested, whats your plans for the rear?


cheers

[stephenevans99]

I take it you've fitted longer brake pipes lol

[pwalker]

very nice, hope it all works well when tested, whats your plans for the rear?
cheers
nothing exciting, for now just getting some springs of classicswede on turbobricks and then going to find some shockers to go with it. unless we can come up with something different when we come to looking at it


I take it you've fitted longer brake pipes lol
havent touched them atm there isnt one on yet, going to use an r33 caliper

[pwalker]

havent had time to do anything on it today but stopped by for a few quick photos just to show the camber off better etc

wow awesome car.
Those Nissan hubs are interesting, may borrow their design.
The bearing is part of the hub right?
(I'm designing a tube chassis car and all the suspension components etc)

[dionbullock]

Those wheels look good!! With Nissan hubs I presume Nissan fitment??

[artfulflounder]

I presume it'll be easier to make spring and insert(damping) changes to suit the volvo weight too.

Be interested how it all goes together.

Brakes will be big improvement also, not huge variety for 940s out there so good to have full range of compounds available.
Best bit got to be availability and price, plenty second hand parts out there. opens door to much higher spec stuff.

Cracking job.

yeah 5x114...i was already running the wheels tho as i have volvo-5x114 50mm adaptors which i still have on the back

yeah thats one of the biggest benefits...these coilovers might have seen better days but once its done i have a vast range to choose from from absolute top makes to bugget £150 coilovers...who doesnt make coilovers for an s13 lol!

[Plodmonkey]

Not going to lie you car is my phone background can not wait to get a 940 estate drift toy just got to sell my c70

yup... iv officially made it in life :cool: haha, its still got a bit to go yet, still a bit tatty in places and a few things needing doing.

your not far away....when its all sorted youl be able to pop down to teesside autodrome to see it in action haha

[artfulflounder]

Do you know the amount of camber contributed by driftwerk arms?

Wondered how much camber standard s13 arms would give.
Mines used soley as daily driver.

When you doing it would love to see it in action

wouldnt have a clue tbh

erm not sure....i would have liked to have entered the drift cup on the 17th in it but very unlikely it will make that now as i still need a ttv flywheel and clutch, il post on here before the next drift day, if its a practice day you should be able to have a passenger ride aswell :)

[Plodmonkey]

Don't do that it'll defo make me buy one

I seen this today parked outside your unit, Looks awesome! very different.

Ahh right haha small world...are you the one that lives/parks on marshouse?

[pwalker]

Right big update....

Right where to start....

Basically fully fitted just need tiny few finishing touches on the drivers side and geometry setting up,
Have just removed the arb for now and gunna see how it performs if it sways a lot il look into moding it or making a new one.

Few pics from along the way

Disk comparison...r33 is top one, actualy very little or no difference in diameter

Even more brilliant news is that the Volvo brake line even fits straight into the skyline caliper! Win! Haha everything's just meant to be :p

All that was needed to get the arms to fit, odd washer to pack the spacers out

Pic of the top mount, not sure wether some people will approve of this and deem it a bit sketchy with the slight bending of it.

Very short sightedly I never even thaught about the steelies not fitting over the calipers but luckily had a 5x114 50mm spacer laying around which I was planning on buying anyway.

Over arches in position...unreal couldn't have worked much better if I had took the time to calculate all the distances etc and planned it lol

Quite a big difference in size lol, also the Nissan stuff feels nearly half as light

[wiganer31]

i wish you had not showed that all the nissan bits fit, giving me ideas now lol, i swore my 940 wouldn't turn into a drift car like my last volvo bit but starting feel the need to go drifting again

[pwalker]

Haha, Be interesting to see if standard s13 arms fit or wether they need the adjustability to fit

[Dan H]

Ahh right haha small world...are you the one that lives/parks on marshouse?

It is lol, Na thats an 850 on marshouse, Never seems to move that one. I'm usually about in my at the weekends, usually hear it before you see it

[wiganer31]

Haha, Be interesting to see if standard s13 arms fit or wether they need the adjustability to fit

yea would be interesting to see if a few s13 bits would work, my mate has alot of skyline spares and bits, might have to see if any of that stuff could be used, will have to stick with being lowered and a diff for now till the rest of the stuff is done

[pwalker]

well after my suspension im moving on to power and proberbly going to run my standard skyline turbo so theres more nissan bits added to the nisvo lol

[wiganer31]

orwell il keep an eye out


well after my suspension im moving on to power and proberbly going to run my standard skyline turbo so theres more nissan bits added to the nisvo lol

nisvo, like it lol. your doing it the correct way, brakes and suspension, were s i have ended up with all the bits for power first and no suspension or brakes, will have to run it on low boost for a while till i get something sorted

[pwalker]

Well tbh I'm normaly the same and it kinda was on this because I have injectors turbo chips etc but the clutch started slipped if I was a bit aggressive so there was no real hurry to up it untill clutch is done aswell

[wiganer31]

ive got most of the bits i need, dont think im getting chips, what clutch setup you going for?

[pwalker]

ive got most of the bits i need, dont think im getting chips, what clutch setup you going for?

the lost are of chips were only £60 delivered would be rude not to :p,
erm proberbly ttv flywheel ££££ :( and t5 clutch, wasnt convinced by the diesel clutch idea and theres not much other options are there?

is that the guy off turbo bricks? i was supposet to be doing it on abit of a budget, ie just buying the bits i need but that's started going out the window so might end up getting some.

sweet, im going to use a dogdish fly wheel mainly because i already have it in my 360, hot sure what clutch im using yea as ive not really looked into it, im going to do some research and then go and run things by my mate as works at a clutch center and he is a drifter so he should be able to advise me well,
what sort of power you going for?

yeah thats him, i was pretty surprised at the price when i heard like, £60 delivered anywhere in the world.
is it the dog dish type which allows you to run a t5 clutch? if so where can you find them?.

i only want 250 anthing over that and its a bonus, im building my skyline for bigger power so im not bothered about massive power, aslong as its got eneugh to drift comfortably

yea its not a bad price tbh, what rev limit did you go for?

not sure if you can run a t5 clutch really but i would imagine you could (dont take my word for it) you can run a diesel clutch on it and i ran a mix of 360 and 940 clutch parts in my 360 with a b230fk in it, so a few bits fit it, i really struggled to find one at the time but in the end got one from the local scrap yard from a 740 non turbo with the m46/m47 gearbox, i believe they were in 240 or 740 with a B200F or B230F and some 940's.

250 will be more than enough, will go well with a welder

[pwalker]

The diff is already welded :p,
Il just suck it up and by a ttv I think
Erm 6800 I think it was, but up from standard but not too much

[pwalker]

Not much but still an update,
The drivers side wheel bearing wouldn't tighten up and realised there is a washer missing from the bearing, so having to source one of them
Biggest part being that I have found some steering arms so that they do not need to be welded...

Mk3 vw Pasat tie rods, fit in nicely and have the extra length needed :)


The Pasat arm I tested was slightly bent off my brothers car so I obviously won't be using that iv ordered 2 more for £20 each also another Nissan tie rod end which I need which should all be ready to pick up tomorow. Hopefully if there are no more setbacks the front will be finished tomorow

[pwalker]

Bad news Volvo fans, ran into a problem,having bad Ackerman issues, major tow in when turning, doesn't look like it's as much of a bolt in job as first thaught, looking into ways we can sort it now, going to try mod some more standard nuckles and see if we have any success, but looks like this will no longer be an easy swap for everyone to use on the road

[pwalker]

Haven't updated in a while, I ran into issues...I don't think it this will any longer be a simple part swap modification that anyone can do anymore, basically having Ackerman issues, got everything on and put the tie rods on and seemed fine turned it on full lock and whichever way you turn it the inside wheel goes to big lock and the outside is very shallow.


The problem I'm having.....

With the rack cantered wheels straight and tie rods on everything looks normal.

Right hand side turned to the left, has good lock it's actualy better than it looks on the picture, I think I took the picture at a **** angle but anyway...
http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w507/Peter_Walker27/AB9B84EB-7C02-45A9-B1B3-99CA42A6F9E9_zps7q9mgund.jpg (http://s1079.photobucket.com/user/Peter_Walker27/media/AB9B84EB-7C02-45A9-B1B3-99CA42A6F9E9_zps7q9mgund.jpg.html)

This is the angle the left hand wheel is at the same time as the right pic above, has very little lock in comparison, the problem swaps sides when turning the opposite way
http://i1079.photobucket.com/albums/w507/Peter_Walker27/71650BD1-F289-4228-AA22-B63A9AC74027_zpsxu5g5plb.jpg (http://s1079.photobucket.com/user/Peter_Walker27/media/71650BD1-F289-4228-AA22-B63A9AC74027_zpsxu5g5plb.jpg.html)

Or comparing the left side again to its inward lock....

Current objective....made little plates to try and figure out how the knuckles need to be modded for the right Ackerman.

The reason for the problem is the Nissan has a rear mounted rack and the Volvo has a front mounted rack. This gives you a reverse akerman

[pwalker]

Haven't updated in a while, front end is now on the ground and all bolted up just needs a propper alignment but can't do that until the cars m.o.t'd so that's this weeks task. Basically just need the back arches putting on and a few daft things like indicator bulbs etc. hopefully mot'd and tested out this week :)

Yeah we've now sorted it...well hopefully..will officially find out when it's tested. Btw cheers for the back springs you supplied, seem spot on cheers

Looks Sweet!! what arches did You use?

Am I the only one who thinks it looks crap, what is the point of doing this? What improvements does it make to the car? The back wheels look odd as well.

they were just universal arches off eBay

Your just not down with the kids these days ;) haha nah it's a bold sort of style and a lot of people won't like it. Tbh most of it is purely for the look, The spacers are 50mm but tbh I'd need 25mm ones anuway to clear the brakes on the front which would still put the front wheels in the way of the arches. Other than for the look a wide track is beneficial for track use and helps minimise body roll...a useful benefit on these normally soggy cars haha
I still need to chop the back up and put the arches on there aswell

[Nari]

I like the flares... don't like the tyre/wheel combo :(

Would you please share the solution with us? I'm really interested :)

the steering soloution? basically just the position of the tie rod end mounting point on the knuckle, we had to modify the knuckles so that the mounting point was as close the brake disk as we dared go to get the ackerman right (or somewhere near atleast haha)

I love this thing! Keep meaning to get some sneaky pictures of it when mine has been parked outside the unit (Green V70) Will try get some next time your down and i'm there..
Will be good to see it on the road! Been sat there looking sorry for itself for the past few month

I think when its finished it will look awesome. Its very similar to my brother's project - different car mind.

Anyway, the point - is to be able to do this! (I hope to see this Volvo going sideways very soon! - just need to do a bit of tinkering with the diff).

looks good, a lad near us drifts one with the same style...all be it a lot less tidy lol

[Dan H]

Yeah it was me who was helping out getting the supra sorted

[pwalker]

Baught a turbo the other night on suspicion of it Bieng a hybrid rb25 turbo with steel internals and I have just had it confirmed :)
It's good for 350-375 bhp so 300 for me is a piece of cake, I got it for £100 and it's like new, an absolute bargain! :) and speaking to someone on turbo bricks he said he ran a standard rb25 turbo on his b230 and hit full boost at 2500rpm this sounds very exciting haha

[pwalker]

iv just got some replacement front coilovers with seperate height pre load adjustment so hopefully i can get the front riding properly rather than bouncing along.
also ordered some adjustable rear shocks off classic swede. cant wait to shot them both on

[barkster1971]

You need 20+ psi to get near 300 bhp. Bung it on and report back!

Are you sticking with stock actuator pressure, or are you going to fit a MBC/EBC?

[pwalker]

On a skyline the standard turbo is good for about 330 iirc and you can only run them to 0.9 bar because hey snap the ceramic shafts
Il go to about 1.2 and see what happens :p I'm tempted to up my power plans a bit seen as though a guy on tb has just ran 365 wheel horse power on complete stock bottom end on a 91 motor with the supposed weaker rods haha. Il be updating on here when it's on as this is basically turning into a project thread,

Erm I'm not sure what be actuator is set at but proberbly using a boost controller
