S38 325iX - The real scoop

[The Dark Side of Will]

Was pretty sure it was a Skyline setup because of the right hand drop. What's he using for a front diff? The diff case is cast into the oil pan on the Skylines.

Not sure, i will try to dig some more info!

It uses Skyline front diff, with pretty custom mounting "on top" of the oil pan :)
I have more pics if anyone wants to see.



The car:

Drag radials at all four corners. Nice.

I understand why the E30 has a left drop... the engine tilts to the right and BMW could package the diff more compactly by slipping it under the engine's left pan rail.

Why the @#$% did Nissan put the drop on the right when the Skyline is designed to be a RHD car? The driver's weight already offsets the car's weight dist to the right.

Yeah kinda strange, but maybe better room for exhaust?
