Walked into P.E.T performance in thomastown today to watch a mates Datsun getting its Autronic tuned, im sure someones mentioned it before but they have a yellow TG sedan there with an RB30ET. And a VL rear end...
So i had to climb underneath and have a look, and what do you know its 4Link. Excuse the dodgy pics but i was wedged between a wall, the car, and i somehow had to angle my phone underneath.
Obviously un-equal length setup, but it would have to be better then the drag link/3link type. Whats the disadvantage of having such a short upper link?
Also been thinking about the setup that Gene posted as used in Camaros, corvettes etc - would it be possible to run brackets off the diff tubes [as close to the housing as possible] that boxes underneath the diff and runs up along the front and bolts near the torque tube mount?

the diff will roll alot earlyer in the the suspension travel.. also they wouldnt be parallel either cos the floor is to low, so it would cause it to roll earlyer againGeminiCoupe wrote: Obviously un-equal length setup, but it would have to be better then the drag link/3link type.

yeah u can do that, thats basicly how that rally gemini has been done as well as ZEP's gemini... only differnt is your mounting to the tubs on each side. only problem is, is if u mount the arms to the center of the car u will need a 2 piece shaft.. where as if u go to the side u can use a single as they wont get in the way of eachotherGeminiCoupe wrote: Also been thinking about the setup that Gene posted as used in Camaros, corvettes etc - would it be possible to run brackets off the diff tubes [as close to the housing as possible] that boxes underneath the diff and runs up along the front and bolts near the torque tube mount?
