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

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.

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

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

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.

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]

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

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


Decent difference here tho




4 is definately better than 1 :p



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.


Wheel on all bolted up looking awesome!


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



Just need to cut away at the arche etc now and fit them





Only found the one spacer for now so untill I find the other one the other side will have to sit on a rota haha



HopeFULLY get it all finished and tested tomorow

[pwalker]

Also not sure I posted this before so...



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

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

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

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?
