my AN ferrules are all wrong, JOHNY5 build thread 08, LS1LS1LS1LS1 - Page 55 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Are you planning to bow out the overfenders to clear the tire?

Johny5 · 03-06-2012, 12:09 PM

of course, thats just a test fit to see how much my camber changed, it originally fit inside the fender just enough to rub the sidewall lettering.

hypercrush · 03-06-2012, 12:13 PM

im going to make a terminator fender replica for George's car to carry on the spirit in 2012.

(im just not going to fix his fender when he smashes it the first time he drives the car)

Johny5 · 03-06-2012, 12:14 PM

Both George and I will be leaving XDC Arizona without fenders..possibly more

Royal_T · 03-06-2012, 12:48 PM

Straight up killing them Stew..

pacotaco345 · 03-06-2012, 01:14 PM

How much is powerfab charging to port the heads, what are they doing exactly? I was thinking about doing it through Advanced Induction Cylinder Head Development

I really like the spherical tein mount you did on the coilovers howmuch would you charge to do that on my teins s14.

Johny5 · 03-06-2012, 01:52 PM

I can ask what going rate would be on doing the heads and get back to ya if you'd like? As far as the spherical bearings yeah I can do it but I still need to find out of my offset solution is going to work on the upright stud. Once I know I'll let ya know

95KA-Turbo · 03-06-2012, 05:04 PM

You've got some crazy awesome stuff going on, I hope it all works as awesome as it looks!

SicBastard · 03-06-2012, 05:50 PM

Are you really going to be running zero camber? I saw MAX advertising that their new rear drop knuckle got rid of camber gain. Is this the new trend in drift set up? If so what's it achieve?

surge s14 · 03-06-2012, 07:18 PM

Watch out AZ hammers a coming!

irritatedmax · 03-07-2012, 06:15 AM

Over the top man. Can't wait to see it ripping!

Johny5 · 03-07-2012, 08:46 AM

Love the compliments guys, thank you! Its great motivation to know people are digging whats going on with the car

Drew, absolutely. The less camber I start with the less I'll have when I gain under squat. I know Dan and company are busy over at PSM but I don't see how you could completely remove it, perhaps lessen it but I wonder how they changed the track of the RUCA to do so and what it did to the RC? The more contact patch the better, and the S-chassis is a nasty little camber gaining bitch of a car from the factory!

Yo Sergio I got a question for ya I'll run it by you later today, saw something on the car I wanted to ask about.

Also guys, got everything summed up into one blog finally instead of little blurbs and pics. I've gotten some questions about this so here you go

I'd appreciate it if you spread this around and helped get the website out there and exposed a little bit. Anything helps!

Your comment scared me into digging up the camber curves of the 240sx. I found this great post by Epstein on NRR. I calculated out the camber gain from his pic. Presuming the car is already lowered 1.75", and an S14 subframe: the first inch of bump gains 1.08 degrees of camber.

Playing with S14 subframe - Nissan Road Racing Forums

That kind of camber gain looks about perfect for grip. So you definitely don't need much static camber. Is 1.08 deg per inch really a nasty gain?!

I also stumbled upon some of my own front suspension models. Depending on how much roll center correction your running the front strut gains 0.45 - 0.63 degrees of camber per inch of bump.

The new suspension looks awesome. All cleaned and lubed changes should be super easy. It'll be interesting to see what kind of spring rates you end up with. Any chance you have shock dyno's you can post?

Johny5 · 03-08-2012, 03:05 PM

Visually when you see my car in motion you'll notice it changes a lot more than 1deg. per inch but I suppose everything is somewhat situational. Perhaps the urethane in my spindles is offering too much deflection or the height my car was at in the curve wasn't optimal. I am definitely lower than 1.75" however the drop spindles should reverse that effect. This is a chart I should try making for my own car soon, see how the two differ. I feel like that could be interesting.

Front I've never had any sort of issues with, I'm happy with the functionality of the front suspension.

I finally have access to a shock dyno and once the cars sorted/I have time I do intend on laying one down to see how they do

Johny5 · 03-11-2012, 11:14 PM

The first event is in 5 days now to be exact and my car must be at the chassis shop in 4. Not really having much of an idea what I should do on the car I decided to focus my efforts on getting the "tow vehicle" "brodozer" "texas special" all fixed up and ready for the year. She rides so damn nice now

ka-titties · 03-12-2012, 08:08 AM

thats definitely a brodozer lol

Johny5 · 03-21-2012, 07:10 AM

The car just made it back from its first event in 2012. I am still smiling. So many things could've gone wrong or not worked, EVERYTHING worked, PERFECTLY.

Stewart Leask at GGP 3/18/2012 - YouTube

The rear wheels are so relaxed with their new setting! The car settles over bumps miraculously. Its an absolutely animal at following now. I love my car more and more with every single part and hour I put into it. Finally, I feel like I'm going in the right direction with it.

I also want to cheat and throw this in here. I'm no Toby but I'm proud of this piece!

OBEEWON · 03-21-2012, 07:28 AM

I absolutely love how much work you put into everything and you still didn't replace the fender lol. That's something I would do.

smellslikecurry · 03-21-2012, 07:41 AM

i need to become a stackbro!

Johny5 · 03-21-2012, 11:10 AM

ummm duh! we both do!!

scottie · 03-21-2012, 11:21 AM

Cluster looks great Stew! Man it is clear to see when I watched footage from the event that your car was planted to the ground. It never looked unsettled and the rear had a nice squat to it which probably translates to higher grip levels. Truly inspiring!

tricky_ab · 03-21-2012, 11:53 AM

I'm pumped to hear that you're starting to really dial your car in!

Seriously, this is one of my favorite threads on this forum.

Johny5 · 03-21-2012, 05:11 PM

thank you very much I appreciate it!

Broadfield · 03-23-2012, 08:21 PM

Damn you Stew, it looks like I may have some competition

I am jealous though because I haven't even gotten the time to make my own cluster yet.
