Pics will explain but if you remove the rear arms
And the swing arm of the k11, A ke70 / t series diff will bolt straight
In on the lower trailing arms. Arms need to
Be extended by 120mm to centre the diff.
The you just need to centre your diff and make a Box
Section for the upper arms...
I'll try to get some pics up today....

27042
next the rear floor lost a bit of metal for the diff
27043
uppre trailing arm bracket tacked in there. upper arms will be made adjustable and shortened, to adjust the pinion angle

As the k11 and the ke70 share almost identical
Front and rear track we are looking at running a
Ke70 crossmember and rack. Will require new
Front rails most probably but at this stage the
Rear end is going to get completed and then
We have strip out the front suspension and have
A proper look in the front. Might have to borrow
An engineer or two from our racing shop:)

Those kind of resources are handy to say the least. Is it just for drag racing?

SR_andy

Drag in the beginning. But a rwd micra will
A definite at a drift day:))

Ive been told u need to put a lot of bacing in a car when u cut the floor out as it flexes heaps and u probs wont get it in the right spot again

As it sits at the moment just on jack stands the whole car is almost
Square. Every door shuts perfect. Once the new chassis
Is built the new floor will go in and then the roll
Cage will then tie every in and keep it all square.

So not really an update but, it looked awesome so. The chassis rails now sit flush with the sills so I'm hoping that once the rails are in the car it should be pretty low

sort of.... its mainly when you remove the roof of a car not the floor pan, so long as it still has a,b,c pillars and the sills it will stay in shape as sr_andy said with the doors still closing etc.

U can remove a roof off of a vehicle and its not going to move out of square. Roofs are just panels that are sat on top and spot welded on. They have zero structural strength.
