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

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...
[IMG][/IMG]

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
[IMG][/IMG]

Or comparing the left side again to its inward lock....
[IMG][/IMG]

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

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).

Shame this pic is before his arches went on
