bolt er up.. stock s30 tie rods and stock s14 arms

still running stock rack as well.. hybridz have talked about s13 racks and from what i've read u can use a jdm rack and flip it or there are a couple other options aswell, just haven't tried it yet

Sub'd got any more detailed pics of the front suspension setup? I've been thinking about doing s13/14 front lca's, spindles and what not I just don't have the parts yet to test fit. It seems like it widens the track out quite a bit from stock, or is that just an aggressive offset on the wheels?

If you're using the stock front mount steering rack, with S14 knuckles, how are you making the tie rods reach the mounting points on the knuckles? Aren't the mounting points in the rear on the S14?

bit of both wheels are 15x8 0.. and the entire s14 swap is a bit wider than stock

as for the knuckles, they are both identicle so u can swap sides= front mount rack.. guys have been doing it and its proven. and the stock s30 rods reach with lots of adjustment

wouldn't swapping sides mess with the built in ackerman?

not sure but its a common swap for these so it cant be affecting too much..

Cool beans man I hope it works out right cause this is badd ass!

Love these cars ... This is pushing me towards my next build being one :)

Bored, honed.. rings filed and installed, shes coming along

mmmm shiney ha

Little update..


http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/o...s/photo1-1.jpg

so motor is coming along still need to get a couple big ticket items.. oil pan, trans and buy mckinney or fab some mounts etc. Currently the subframe is ripped out getting powdered and adj. arms being freshened.. picked up a sexy pair of these the other night

super stoked for these seats, love them.. but me being 6,5' I sit too high with stock z seat mounts, normal for most.. I just like sitting lower so gonna fab some brackets and reweld them in.

more to come..

I tried looking in your suspension pic but what did you use for the tension rods?

Did you swap tension rod and bracket or did you use the factory ones and redrill if needed?

Also, does anyone know if there is any difference between the s13 and s14 LCA in terms of the subframe mounting point. Would S13 gear work also?

U can use either depends on preference..arms mount the same and what u mean by gear?

When i say gear I mean like knuckles hubs LCA tension rods etc.

Which way did you go with the tension rod factory or 240sx? If 240 did you use the tension rod bracket and drill holes?

I went factory but either way u need to modify something and the rear subframe won't be a straight bolt in gunna have to fab for that aswell

Got it, I bought a 240sx donor car that I'm going to tune everything for the Z on and then swap it all over. I'm trying to decide if getting aftermarket LCA's and tension rods can work in the Z application.

How much welding did you have to do for the rear sub frame?

very cool project, can't wait to see it moar complete

U gotta look at the pics dude, it's not a quick swap.. From the sounds of it, just get a mint running sr20 an buy some mounts, wire it to the car and buy 240z aftermarket arms from techno toy tuning and weld on some coils get some wheels.. Done. then u can look cool like everybody else

Not sure if this was directed at me

I'm just saying that it looks good, no animosity intended.

Just because i DO have a SR20 in my 240 doesn't mean i spent any less time or effort on it than you did, kind sir.

I do like your engine though, carry on.

Nope not directed at u, it was for buddy with all the questions above lol

If what I said was directed to these kind words ^^.. I'd have to be some kind of dick lol

sub'd.. looking forward to seeing it done.

well, this IS zilvia :D

Love the S13 dash and the RB swap, can't wait to see this done! Don't give up on it!

Looking good, in for updates.

Def. not giving up! Just delayed on stuff and work lol.. I need to roll the dat out and weld up some more frame before the subframe goes back in but no free time lately. Was gonna do it today but it decided to rain, so hopefully tom. Also waiting to get my sub back from powder coat so I can reassemble and get some pics up. Unseized all my multi link except for my cusco camber arms.. To the parts bin they go, and need to decide on new ones.

Hopefully in the next couple weeks I can have the motor complete and ready to drop in.. Or at least temporarily to fab some mounts.. Once that's done it should start coming together a lot easier with just plumbing and wiring.

K so still waiting on a trans.. I have someone i've worked a deal out with so hopefully i will be seeing that soon.. In the mean time this is what i've been up to

bought a rear sump pan, price was great and certainly not anywhere near the price of the mckinney ones. Only problem i ordered it for a rb20/25.. so now have to mod the pickup but no biggie

Also received my subframe back all nicely powdered so installed some bushings and threw it back together :)

I've maxed out the camber in the rear.. it isn't horrible but not the look i'm going for.. Also fixed the front when i installed the new sub up there, seems to be a bit better the tires are a little more flat on the ground. Keep in mind the set that's on it now are 15x8 et 0, looking for 15x9.5 +15 or 17x9.5 +15

That's it for now stance wise until i come across something else, but in the mean time i've been playing with some wiring :ugh: lol

http://i366.photobucket.com/albums/o..._rs/wiring.jpg

I could just buy a wiring kit for like $700 but why? It's super simple if u can read them and get the proper diagrams with pinouts.. most of the engine harness is divided up already just need to get the motor in and get the proper lenghts of wire to make it all pretty in loom tucked out of sight :)

The dash looks great man. Good work, keep it up.

Props for doing your own wiring, glad to see someone else doing everything they can themselves!

in for more...
