No doubt I think the QR would be great for rallycross, and even rally. Should I end up building a new car someday, I'd strongly consider a B15 SE-R with a custom rear suspension to replace the multi-link. Though I'd probably just do a rally truck for stupid cheap sideways RWD fun.

All Wheels Driven and I discussed a lot on the B15 rear suspension system when he was working on one. I am not sure I still agree with the way he went with it. I recommended looking into the 1998-2001 NIssan Altima Rear subframe and custom strut towers... Not sure if it would work but no one has ever really looked too car into it. But the B15 is so old now that no real Nissan Sponsorship will come of it. SO maybe a Rally Built 2.5 Altima Coupe or something... That might get some support.

You know, a Versa actually handles really pretty well on gravel. But the entire suspension would need to be massively beefed up. Stuff looks like tinker toys under there.

Though, I did have my Versa airborne a number of times and it seemed to suffer no ill effects.

Vector, I thought you might enjoy a pic of my car in "Street" mode. This was taken before I pulled my lights (25lbs) off to put in my no pound grill.

they are all HID and man does it light the way at night...

But at Nationals it doesn't really seem practical to have them on the car...

You are running 15"compos with the r32 brake setup, arent you? What disc is that?
would like to have a similar setup for tarmac events like Empire State Performance Rally

I would highly recommend that you get the calipers and find a brake shop that can take all the proper measurements and order you a 3 piece rotor setup... Would be all around better than what I had to do.

I used Altima Front rotors (26mm) 4x114.3 and had them cut down diameter wise to clear.

The rear is 240sx non-abs front rotors (18mm) 4x114.3 I had to cut them down too.

The bad part is I had to use washers on all four calipers to get them to line up. and the rear hubs had to be cut down to clear the inside of the rotors...
A 3 piece would fix that.
Because of the washers I have to use some small front spacers to have my Team Dynamic Wheels clear the brakes. wit 3 piece rotors i wouldn't need the spacers.
The rear has 1" spacers.... and the caliper eats gravel in a bad way, needs a custom deflector made to stop the rocks from getting caught
