[Found a rotor for my 5 lug swap out back]

R33's are wide cars so I wasn't too surprised. I may get to measure up an S13 this evening, but don't expect pics straight away as its at my mates house :>

[Found a rotor for my 5 lug swap out back]

 

Thats about as much as I can think of measuring. The only thing missing is the R200 long nose diff length.

 

Measured with a tape measure and hopefully minimal parallax error.

[Found a rotor for my 5 lug swap out back]

Now I compare the pictures there really are not that different. :\

[Found a rotor for my 5 lug swap out back]

Here is some pics I intend on displaying the measurements in a way that makes more sense but this will do for now :>

[Found a rotor for my 5 lug swap out back]

R32 (Skyline) Z32 (300ZX) S13 (Silvia - 180SX) C33 (Laurel) and A31 (Cefiro) all have a very similar rear cradle from what I have seen all have the struts pitching inwards. The R33 is still very similar but the struts are more vertical. :>

 

Want some pics? I have the R33 and S130 cradle down stairs. :>

[KAAZ CLSD install in a S130 Turbo done (Finally...)]

From what I have seen you could use a C200 CLSD if you have a early R200 open with the 10mm bolts in the ring gear (I am yet to try as my car is broken at the moment). Though there is the same problem mine and all I have seen don't have provisions for the internal snap-ring.

[Found a rotor for my 5 lug swap out back]

I told a friend of mine about this and he was like "I'm throwing a few S13's away" and his S130 needs a rear so i think I'll be watching this thread rather closely. That or you may inspire me to put the R33 rear on his but he wants that for the C110.

[Found a rotor for my 5 lug swap out back]

Yea, thats what I thought you were talking about. I might be wrong, but I think the top of the coilover will be where it will angle at. It has a pillow mount. So i'm thinking it should be fine down on the bottom end.

 

Sweet because the only guy I have seen do this did a butt tone of fabrication.

[Found a rotor for my 5 lug swap out back]

Well the pin that holds the strut onto the knuckle is angled downwards. I'm assuming that would make the strut bush quite stressed, as the strut stands a few degrees more vertical. Hence my original intention to inspect the R33 cradle for fitment.

[Found a rotor for my 5 lug swap out back]

Mounting points on the subframe need to be moved inward 0.875 in.

 

Nothing a grinder and welder can't solve..... :/

[Found a rotor for my 5 lug swap out back]

Thats pretty dam cool :>

 

How is the angle of the strut? Is the pin sitting nicely in the lower strut hole or is it angled?

[Found a rotor for my 5 lug swap out back]

Was looking into this and I assumed the strut was not going to fit through the S13 upper link and into the strut top. I hope I'm wrong :> but if for some reason you have a R33 rear multi link lying around it looked like measures up better and once my shed is done (july-ish) I could look closer into it. I think I'm gonna stick with semi trailing arm though as I have to many goodies for my current setup.

[L28 vs L3.1 turbo]

na engines do have to worry about cam lag though, the added weight is barely noticeable in most applications (worried about weight drive a striped car and maintain a lean body mass index). a turbo car does not need to make an excessive blow off sound if plumbed correctly.... both options have there ups and downs i find the question is not about turbo or NA, V8 or straight 6 ect... its how do you want to make your power (eg low down torque or reving till 11k or somewhere in between) also do you want to go with an engine for and aesthetic reason eg pop culture reference, restoring.

 

then when its all said and done is it better to spend $30k+ and make a L31ET or $2k and use an RB20det (or RB30ET) and with an other $2k or so get a real close result ~

 

have fun with your dilemma i decided to build an L31 and one RB20DET one for aesthetics and one for speed and cost

[280zxt turbo flutter at 4k]

My friend bought a AE86 that had a battery relocated to its boot. It had a 4k dead spot/ flutter that sounds the same as you describe and he replaced the battery leads with bigger stronger ones and the problem was solved.

 

I don't know much about turbos I am just giving an example.

[280ZX rear coilover conversion using standard Tokico HP shocks]

Well cutting springs is not a very good idea unless you love super soft springs....

 

Also buying a few sets of springs, not cheap. It would be cheaper and easier to whack some S13 rear coil-overs in and then you only need to get a 2 to 3 bolt pastern changer, or just drill the strut tops its a quick safe and cheap option.

 

But Ill give you 20 points for inventiveness, It was people who think out side the box that invented the wheel.

[My Love of a Dying Breed]

^^^I was going to ask the same question.

 

I currently have the option of 17x9.5 or 16x8. I think for a sub 300hp/1300kg car 16x8 should be good with the standard road tires, right?

[Offset Help]

 

The back is the standard suspension setup, The front has had the s13 hubs put on it (not sure how it affects offset). I was told they are 10" wide -19 offset but they are rotas so they may be 9.5" wide.

You could drill 3 extra holes in those 300zx tt brake rotors, Its very common in aussie.

[what can you fit in your S130]

I did the same thing with my 40" TV. The sales guy was trying to tell me that LCD TV's can not be laid down flat, wrong. And to make it better it was raining so i was like BAM in you go TV and cruised off.
