my D22 getting SAS

[joshy]

Rolled it outside to flex the rear..

Coilover fouled hard on the rail....I knew they would get in the way..

 

[joshy]

Cut the lower mounts off and moved them in a bit further. Then ratchet straped the drivers side of the diff to the chassis and lifted up the chassis.

And now the tyres hits the chassis...nothing spacers wont fix...

Thats without the front extending at all. Should be pretty good when both ends work together.

But im not convinced flexing it like this means the coilover wont scrub the rail so tomorrow ill roll it back out and lift the front end and see what it does.

Looking mean and nasty should be a weapon when finished.

 

[Dion]

Wouldn't a bit of sandpaper and paint have fixed that rust???

I thought you weren't a stickers guy?

Looks real awesome joshy.

I reckon we'd all benefit from a CAD model of the D22/D21 chassis... but CBF.

Funny how it wets itself when you pick up the back end... it really is an animal

Looks great Joshy, this thing is gunna go anywhere.

It might have but that quarter was in the way of my tyre
Im not a stickers guy, the suspects one is coming off once i get round to it.
And yeah it likes to lift a leg n let it out.

 

[Deadly]

Geez, this thing is going to be 1 EVIL BEAST when finished.
Top work mate

 

[SOLID D22]

Cant have rust in a 3 year old car..

Just have to plate that up now.

Joshy is there anything obtrusive in doing that, i was always worried when i fit bigger tyres that that shitty corner would get in the way. If you weld in a flat plate all should be good yeah? Doors should still work as normal?

 

[joshy]

bit of a structural plate in there ill have to patch up but nothin major.

 

[joshy]

added some bumpstops. Chassis now doesnt hit the coilovers tyre still hits the chassis but nothing the right rims wont fix but stopped us from getting the full travel out. still 6" or so left in it.

 

[joshy]

For the fun of it

 

[Dave]

Jeez Josh you dont mess around do you, haven't been on here for a week and a half and the rear is finished.

Looks awesome.

Dave.

 

[joshy]

Cheers dave. rear was so easy compared to the front. me and aj knocked it over in 2 days. engineer is coming over tomorrow. then building the rear high pinion diff, finish welding the rear up and start the wiring to get this handgrenade ticking again

 

[Dave]

I seen Simo diff the high pinion diff on Toyotamonthly, anyy idea on strength ?

Diff you ever consider a H260 for the rear ?

Dave.

 

[Aido]

Ok so have the video rolling on the Engineers face when you throw open the garage door!
I bet he sucks wind through a cats arse ( well thats the best explanation I have for how he will purse his lips and go " oooooohhhhhssshhh Gee Willikers Batman!")

That gq in the pics has a high pinion and he thrashes his truck. no dramas yet. Winch challenge trucks run them aswell so should be right.
Not really, i didnt want to have to shave it to gain more clearance, i think the h233 will be plenty strong. I plan on going to rockwells in the not to distant future hopefully.

yeah its guna be interesting. Although it wont look nearly as mean when its on 33/35s. Just need to run through with him the plan n stuff. Im most concerned about the airbag. A different engineer tho said i could get it done with the airbag removed.

 

[SOLID D22]

Your right after seeing it all this time with those monster tyres 35's are gona look like 14' rims.

 

[Leprechaun]

but 35" aren't legal, you would have to run 33"

 

[Dave]

I dare say since the diffs have been swapped over to Patrol items there is a good possibility of getting it engineered.

I have seen a few Patrols engineered on 35's.

Cheers for the info Josh.

Dave.
