Thread: NX2000 Awd Conversion

got damn that thing is going to be nice!

So how high do you expect the back of the car to be? Will it be up too high once on the ground? How did you make your measurements, to be sure it is in proper place, so it doesn't dogtrack or screw up the suspension geometry?

In no way am I bashing, I am inquiring about this very cool project. Good work man , Keep it up.

It won't be off by that much height wise from what it originally was and I can always adjust my suspension if need be. For measurement wise all you can do is measure and recheck then hope your right or at least close enough that it can be adjusted later. Like any sub frame you will have about a 1/16th of adjustment either way to fine tune things. I used a yard stick, tape measure, squares and the laser level to help figure things out. A lot of measuring was done on the front and strut towers so I could line up the back off of that and as of now the front wheels line up exactly with the rear. The suspension angle also appears to be good and the sub frame is level with the drive shaft. All I can do is hope for the best right now and I’ll see how much things are off when I let my brothers friend put it on the alignment machine at his work.

Thanks for all the comments/feedback so far guys.

Finally some updates for you guys.

The red hydraulic cart I was using to support the sub frame became all bent out of shape and was screwing me up. I'm using 2 jacks now to support it. Anyways I had to redo the two rear brackets since it actually had to sit lower then how I originally had it.


Here is one support bar and more two come.


Started on the front sub frame brackets.


I drilled a hole in the center of my bottom plate, then bolted it to the sub frame and built my sides off of it.




Top feed Precision Turbo 880CC injectors I picked up from Jaker

Minor updates, worked on my rstb/support today. Did all my measurments and cut out my stb brackets.






I also added a couple more tools to my kill list since starting this project.
My chop saw is now dead and I broke a couple hole saws that were purchased today so they were replaced for free. Puts my total to 5 grinders, 1 chop saw and a couple hole saws so far.

bussniess man, you are like a mad scientist....with a frankenstein NX...
