What size is that wheel?JDM Dime wrote:
Combine the stock Bluebird steering box with wide, sticky 17" tires, and even a 350mm wheel isn't exactly all the leverage in the world - and that wheel looks smaller.

Re: Project: East Coast Bluebird Coupe
Something like that. The torque you're going to be putting through the stock steering components when they're attached to sticky modern tires is pretty huge. Much more than was ever dreamt of by Nissan circa 1967.JDM Dime wrote:Are you referring to this?okayfine wrote: As long as your going to reinforce the steering box/frame rail connection, maybe.

I know no updates in forever. Just picked up a R200 lsd diff from a very nice Z31 owner who DID NOT rape & pillage on the price
