I have heard about the plug tubes before, only happens when running high lift billet cams. Did you take any pics?
How much piston to valve clearance do you have with the 1.3 pistons? And what valve spring are needs for the cam? I run a set of stage 1 springs I bought from Allen Waye a few years back.
I have just over 2mm of clearance on the intake. Exhaust clears fine. It didnāt even dent my clay. Iām running standard springs. Im a little worried about them. I think Iāll just keep the rev limiter at 7K for now.
2mm clearance is enough.
I paid $145 for my springs back in 2012 from Performance Springs in Queensland, might be worth considering.
Thatās a decent price. Kinda wish I did them now.
Id suggest keeping an eye on the inner front arches as they are prone to cracking. And no the later model ones didnt resolve the issue like iw as told years back as my 92/3 model g102 has now got cracks in front arches behind the shock
Yeh Iāve been keeping a good eye on it. These chassis are Coke cans. From what I have gathered from CAMS 3J improved production manual is that Iām not allowed any additional bracing, but I am allowed to run a strut brace, which is on my shopping list. Hopefully itās enough to strengthen the front end until I fabricate a roll cage.
Thats odd that you can have a roll cage but not other braces.
well I guess roll cage would be more to protect you in the car eg from getting crushed etc and braces for better performance etc.
āIt is permitted to seam weld the bodyshell. Metal to a thickness of up to 5mm maybe added to fully sprung
components to a distance of 75mm from the edge of each suspension pivot point aperture. Such metal must
follow the contour of the original metal at all times. It is not permitted to add or incorporate any other
components which contribute to the rigidity of the bodyshell, other than the safety cage structure as
described in Article 14.1, and a strut tower brace as described in article 9.7.ā
Yeh I think it is a little odd. I can still seam weld the chassis though which would probably help out a lot.
As per daddioāso info yoy should be able to plate it, Iād do that from under the guard/outside if you can. Plug weld every 50mm or so if a large plate
Hi. Iām looling at buying some Yellow Speed coilovers. What is your honest opinion about these units.
I think the springrates are insane. Iām looking to get softer springs for mine itās hopping over every bump. They might be fine for high speed circuit racing but for street use they are a little Savage. Other then that they are great.
I had been looking at Ftuned for my G102 - they have 3 levels of spring rates, but I have no personal experience with these or Yellowspeed.
Iām thinking if dropping my front springs to 3kg/mm and see how it feels. Iāll get to the rears later down the track.
Made some progress. Finally got the engine out.
So Daddioās Daddio hasnāt finished the nissan chassis or is that a diff one? ( I know your old man is a busy guy)
its daddios mommios daddioās chassis. Alby has upgraded and is doing a cab swap on his old maverick.
How is your Nan and Alby? Hope they are keeping well.
Yeh they are good, helping Alby build his shed these last couple of days.
So I have managed to get this far.
