I just want to see the look on the service manager's face at his local dealer when Simon turns up and says "Hey there is a clunk in the rear end of my ute, could you take a look at it for me"←LMAO Will be all new from the gearbox back - and you are right - the OMFG look if the service guys gets it on hoist would be priceless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its truely a work of are, but I wonder what hassles he would have to go through to make this legal.←As F6 Ute as pointed out - these rear ends hold up on some VERY high hp GTR's, and offer a much greater level of sophistication than the ford ute suspension, so add a lot more than just a stronger diff.

There a big HP GTR's running rwd into 9's, so it should hold up..←That is basically the idea - plus he has a lot of exerience setting up the suspension on the the GTR's... Will be interesting to see just how good this all proves - if it goes into the sedan, It could well be my next mod... So says he still waiting on the current lot... Cheers, Ben.

Goldbullet Member 883 Member For: 19y 7m 24d Location: Frankston Posted 09/08/06 04:40 AM Share Posted 09/08/06 04:40 AM I was considering this option for Bullet but after doing some discussion it was found the the GTR is alot lighter than the Ford. But if you put the same rear end into a Ford Sedan with the exra weight the rear end will actually be alot weaker than the current ford set up.Dave.

The basic suspension cradle and all the other componants look plenty strong enough to me - I guess time will tell!!!Cheers, Ben. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonford Member 16 Member For: 18y 5m 24d Posted 09/08/06 05:13 AM Share Posted 09/08/06 05:13 AM I was in shocked when I saw that at Nizpro a couple of weeks ago... and simon told me that he was going to put that up his ute... I was like... WOW... that's a different thing and those gangs at nizpro are always full of surprises and good works! I believe it will turn out well giving that simon always knows what he is doing with both Nissan and Ford (of course and others too )cheers,richie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
