Tuning and Driving my Rotary Swapped Datsun 1200 with More Boost!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Part of what excites me the most about this thing is just not caring. The first car I've felt confident to tune myself - and do much other less than ideal modifications to get it driving how I want. 13B Bridgeport Datsun 1200

    Convert the leaf spring to traction bars or trailing arms to keep the diff from moving forward and backwards, then to keep the diff from moving from side to side you need to install pan hard bars on the back of the diff and front.

    The fact this has 103 likes tells me nobody understands leafsprings. A traction bar bolts under the leaf springs using the axle U bolts. It had a rubber snubber in the front. When you get on throttle the snubber tilts up against the front leaf spring eye thus stopping axle wrap. You could also use Cal-Tracs which are similar-ish.

    Since its a series 5 transmission, make sure you get the delrin bushing from LRB speed which goes in the shift block of the trans. It makes a lot of the slop go away, as long as your shift block hasnt been worn away too much.

    If you’re keeping the leafs for now look into traction bars like caltracs or the old school slapper bars like what old muscle cars used to use, another option is a pinion snubber (not ideal) but ultimately a triangulated 4 link would be best if room allows

    All you need is Lakewood Traction bars. Make sure when mounting the the rubber snubber it presses against the spring eye. They are universal and can be cut to length. Then a good limited slip or even an air locker for that 9" and some decent front brakes with 5 lugs.

    One of the key ingredients to rotary cooling is the oil cooler. Those factory coolers that came on the older 12a motors are excellent but there's an internal thermal bypass that can fail and restricts flow. If your car had one of those units then remove it and just make sure you get the engine up to temp before you rev it.

    Adam, Pick up a watts-link cover for the diff and install a watts link for axle centering, and then just pick up a pair of slapper-bars (Google it, they bolt to the u-bolts and brace against the front of the leaf spring) and bolt em in, wheelhop solved. Add some good shocks and that's all you need. Classic muscle car formula. This is probably the easiest solution. You could go with a panhard bar instead of the watts-link, but since you have a ford rear end in there anyway, they make watt-link kits that replace the diff cover.

    Auto manufactures staggered the shocks one mounted to the chassis firward of the axle and one behind. The engineers say it assist in axle wrap (the term used to describe your situation) you can get the old school traction bars that have a rubber snubber on the end of the bar that smashes into the front of the spring to stop the torquing of the spring.
