Finally got the suspension set up all the way in - new bushings, new lower ball joints, new coilovers.
Might dial it down a hair (maybe 1/2") for shits and giggles. I'm really happy with the way it sits now, though.

Finally, An Electric Crate Motor You Can Drop Into Your Old Car
The idea of converting classic cars to EVs has been around a while, and a number of companies, including some major automakers, have been retrofitting old, classic cars with all-new EV drivetrains. Individual tinkerers have been doing this as well, but it’s not as easy as you’d hope. Dealing...

They bump the power up to 200hp, that'll be in the Datsun immediately.EV crate "motor" coming out next year.

I heard somewhere the Chinese not only have the battery swap almost figured out, but they also have developed a 300,000 mile battery that only loses 10% capacity over it’s lifespan.
Buy stock in Blue Sun now, motherfuckers.

Nissan Leafs have decent batteries that I could package up to put where the motor used to be.

I must've missed the part where you took out the rear "steering" rack and tightened it up to be regular FWS. Seems pretty wtf to me to be forcing stuff to twist in the bushings, like come on man one or the other not halfway both ways.
A little bit would deflect about like how things do when the suspension moves I guess but it seems pointless to go through all that and add extra parts and not end up with actual steering.

I'm pretty sure the EGR system is fucked up in the truck again. 200k+ miles on it and no issues. Swap the engine and it decides to start shitting the bed.
Pretty sure that Tesla is working on that too. It's the easiest fix for the 'fillup' issue. I'm sure this will give @Mr. Asa another angry boner.

Tesla Model S's are actually designed to have an easily swappable battery, but that plan's been abandoned in light of new lithium battery tech that'll pretty much have the battery capacity outlast the rest of the car once it comes online.

This isn't optimistic bullshit, I know Jeff Dahn and his team. They've got quite a lab/test facility built and lots of work happening here in Halifax. Can't say much more.
Tesla May Soon Have a Battery That Can Last a Million Miles
Elon Musk promised Tesla would soon have a million-mile battery, more than double what drivers can expect today. A new paper suggests he wasn't exaggerating.

I think the issue is charging times more than lifecycle, though the lifecycle thing is definitely interesting.Tesla Model S's are actually designed to have an easily swappable battery, but that plan's been abandoned in light of new lithium battery tech that'll pretty much have the battery capacity outlast the rest of the car once it comes online.

Hopefully there won't be a tradeoff of cell life for charging amperage, like there is now.

All that fresh exhaust actually making its way through the passages instead of stopping at the nearest carbon blockage has the old valve all confused.

New valve. Everything in the EGR is new. I had two old solenoids on there when I swapped the truck but now they are new.
