Re: suspension mods

Adam,   Before you go spending heaps of money, get what you have working 100%. i.e, Grease all the bushes in the suspension Pump up the tyres to about 38PSI front and rear and get a wheel alignment ~$30. (You might be surprised at how much difference it makes)   Then if you still want more The TRX Bluebird had anti wind-up dampers on the lower (rear) suspension arms. They also had Nolathane bushes and gas shocks. Try some alloy (TRX) wheels and wider tyres. Get a thicker front anti rollbar from an R31 (Skyline/Pintara) (preferably a sporty model = thicker) You should have a rear anti-roll bar? Check and see though   A couple of things that you could investigate are; 1 The R31 rear axle could bolt in to a B/Bird, this means you can get an LSD (From a Skyline Silhouette) 2 The R31 front arms could bolt into the B/Bird - if they are longer this will mean more neg. camber   Then you start looking at lowered springs and matching shocks $$$.   I could help you out with the rear suspension bits, I am in Sydney Regards, Nick 1978 Datsun Stanza ----- Original Message ----- From: adam tildesley To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, 10 June 2001 4:35 PM Subject: suspension mods Hi, I have a 82 bluebird sedan and I want to get better handling from it and I need to know if any one can recomend anything I can do to get it to corner better etc. any help would be great.
