No experience of datsuns, but with the 86 its always the trailing arm bushings, & dont replace them with expensive rose jointed arms if its for street use

mm fair enough i just don't understand how it would cause tramp. wouldn't they help eliminate it being VERY stiff?
if it is the shocks i'll totally buy them off you if you're not using them anymore

dude, the shocks cannot extend any more as they are fully extended alreadsy, so when you dump the clutch the diff torques up and the diff starts tramping cause the shocks cant controll it.
ah makes sense. thanks

I agree with Simon.
But Re: Trailing arms. Trailing arms should be parrelle with the ground. (level ground) This therefore lets the trailing arms do what they should be doing. When you lower your car you loose this angle and this can create axel tramp. This can be fixed by running traction brackets.
Ra60 rear shocks, bit longer, fairly stiff and cheap as=winna
i recken simon is on to something. it makes heaps of sense ill play around with some diffrent shocks and ride hights let you guys know how i go. thanks for all the input.
my shockers might be for sale hokey. if this is the case there brand new to.
It Aint A Motor If It Aint A Rotor.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey yo i went out to my shed and cut half a coil of my springs now my shockers dont bottom out. no more tramp 10 kudos for simon.

haha that was the best solution ever
testing would have been fun too

haha sweet as!
another way to retain those shocks and have more effective range of travel is to chuck the car on a hoist, undo the shocks, cut the shock mount off the lower platform on the diff and rotate it 180 degrees so the mount is higher instead of lower. then reweld back on.
