z32 rear spindles q? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have z32 brakes, hubs, and rear spindles. ive done some searching but have not found exactly what im looking for.

1. Can i switch back to stock rear spindles with the setup im running?

Reason beeing its alot easier to get coils with stock mounting points, and i noticed my z32 rear spindle has a crack in it. forgive me, i did purchase the car with all of these modifications done and im realy sick of the sloppy, and uneven ride height of stock z32 rear shocks on the hoopdy. thank you

The biggest thing is keeping the the lower shock mount hte same. S14/S13 use a different style (bolt through) than the Z32 mount (fork)

Yeah i know lol. im runnin factory z32 struts in the rear and factory s13 in front, it sits so crooked because the shock length is so much shorter from what i can tell. Im trying to revert back to s13 stud type mount so i dont have to hunt down powered by max z32 fork adapters.

OBVIOUSLY you didn't search hard enough. This has been covered to death already. Here is your answer.

And if you want the quick version for whatever reason, yes you can use stock s13 rear spindles with your z32 setup, that's what the majority do when they install z32 brakes on their s-chassis.

Wait, you have shock/ spring combo? WHY YOU NO HAVE COILOVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???? ????????????????????

Yes I did read that, like I said I'm learning about this setup and since I did not install it I wanted the peice of mind of having someone who new the answer let me know. Thank you for the help!

And no coilovers yet because I need z32 adapters.

A good fab shop can take an S chassis lower mount and cut/weld/ hack to make it work on a Z knuckle.
