MrBean Member 400 Member For: 20y 4m 9d Location: Melbourne Posted 28/03/10 08:01 AM Posted 28/03/10 08:01 AM Hehe You guys kill me.Reason I want to use the GTR IRS is for reliability with 450-500rwkw. Ford IRS = nogo.Plus, my UTE only has 10k on the clock - virtually brandnew, and I have a G6E sedan, so not another car - luv the UTE....except the live axle of course....Thanx for your input though!Soz Dags, I'm a Ford boy - luv the Expensive Daewoo though, but not enough to trade my Ford for.....
MrBean Member 400 Member For: 20y 4m 9d Location: Melbourne Posted 30/03/10 11:03 PM Posted 30/03/10 11:03 PM Hello Guys,After careful deliberation with myself, and some discussions with Simon Gishus over at Nizpro, I decided that I will go ahead with fitting an R33/R34/350Z IRS to my UTE. Most of the work I will do myself. This will be a slow process, as I will need to get my hands on a 2nd hand suspension, and will do all the prep-work to it, like fitting brakes, cleaning/powder-coating, overhauling the diff, correct crownwheel/pinion/fitment of new bushes/et al before stripping my UTE to built the cradle.I also need to source the correct Ohlin rear shocks, and make the 1:5 rocker arms for the shocks.I will start a new thread within next few weeks, and will post a detailed log of my progress, should anyone be silly enough to attempt this Br,Beanie

MrBean Member 400 Member For: 20y 4m 9d Location: Melbourne Posted 31/03/10 10:36 AM Posted 31/03/10 10:36 AM Thanx Pat, will keep your kind offer in mind. As with most mechanical mods, one can never do everything by oneself.Witin next couple of weeks I will start assembling components, and definately shocks and bushes will be needed.Will be in touch
