pretty sweet at least someone is doing it and putting in the r&d.

If anyone can do it..this guy can. He is on NOR where he originally posted up about the possibility of doing it and after some research he went forward with it.

Here's the thread where it all started: http://www.nissanoffroad.net/messageboard/index.php?topic=7587.0

The best place to keep up with the build is on his page though, posted in the original post: http://nissannut.com/projects/SAS_D40_3link/

Scratch that, saw the picture on the last page of the first link posted.

Looks to be tall and narrow, waiting to see pics of it with bigger, beefier tires. Stoked to see this built up though!

 

[AndysLog]

yeah you see it to. maybe there wasnt enough room to mount it out a little further. could have brought the coil/shock in a little. maybe it would have gotten to close to the frame. i dont know how well of flex its going to get with pinching off the suspension midway.

They are still working out some kinks, it's not 100% done I believe looking at some of the posts.

"We noticed it was kind of bouncy. Turns out the shocks were binding on the towers. Much better now with some spacers. Moving the link mounts inwards caused that issue. Going to redesign the lower mounts. But its drivable for now."

Their going to remove the BL, make a driveshaft for it and modify a crossmember.

No problem, now get busy doing this to your truck :mrgreen::hi:

 

[rorybellows]

looks awesome cant wait to do it to my truck. think im gonna use leafs if front though. didnt some body already work out the abs deal?

 

[metalman]

i wanna see that flexed out, awsome job man!

 

[HKYStormFront]

:\ coils look like they are going \...../ dat's not good

Again, they aren't 100% done - they are still working out some kinks. The guy that is doing this build has done numerous solid axle swaps on Nissans including lmhin's. This is his FIRST 2nd Gen SAS so it's a bit new to him but this guy won't leave anything unsafe on the vehicle.

I asked him about it over on NOR, i'll see what he says about it.

 

[HKYStormFront]

yea i got that part (still in progress) but i would be worried about the angle of the coils if it were my truck.

He will be tending to the ABS with tone rings: "install tone rings so ABS is happy. This will be interesting. I can barely see the ring inside the unit bearing. Need to press it apart to access the ring."
