So I've hit a road block in my build and i don't know which way to go... My 73 240z has a z32 rear subframe and i want to run ground control coil overs in the car. Should i just buy the front and rear coil over conversion kits separately? If anyone else who has done this swap please chime in with some info on how you set up your Z32 suspension in your Z car. I plan on purchasing T3 weld in camber plates to go with the coil overs.

Can a f-body brake booster and master cylinder be used? Ihave z32 calipers in the rear and i plan on purchasing wilwood front brakes. -Nick

Thanks letting me know, I'll search before i ask next time.

Whats up everyone, i bought a 240z project that came with a 300zx rear subframe. How can i tell the difference(if there is a way) between the NA and TT set up. I need to order some rear suspension parts and need to be sure which model i have. -Nick

Little update... I spent some time today really getting to see how much was done(wasn't much besides cutting aimlessly) It needs a lot of work, i have a pretty good mental plan on how i will run the new subframe mounts. Im going to replace the cut out frame rails and mount it directly to that with studs welded in with a sleeve inside the tube. Then connect the front and rear subframe mounts. I also measured the thickness of the old frame rails and they were .065" so I'm going to be ordering some 2" square tubing in that thickness tonight. Hopefully will be here early next week. Unfortunately my phone decided to delete the pictures i took today so i will add them tomorrow….

Thanks for the pictures, this is how i envisioned my set up to be as well. Do you have any more pics of your build? Did you fab custom floor pans too? Ill be replacing my floors too and am curious to how you did yours. Nick

Ill post up some pics of their progress made. I just got the body in the air today actually, used modified Harbor Freight engine stands for a DIY rotisserie. Im working on the car thursday and friday!

Cary, those tube sizes came from a bunch of searches on this topic. Maybe 2x2x.083 through out would be good?

thank you! also I noticed you have techno toy tuning suspension on your 280z, I plan on running their front suspension parts. Do you have any comments/ recommend them over Arizona Z cars front suspension?

whats up everyone, so I bought a 73 2400z project, the previous owner started to swap a z32 rear sub frame but didn't complete it. After looking through Mull's project HUGO, it looks like he used 2" square tubing for the sub frame mounts. So my plan was to build the sub frame mounts out of 2x.120" square tubing, and connect the rear sub frame to front with 2x3x.083" tubing. Stock ls1 is going in now, but have plans for a 6.0 turbo making between 600-650whp Would this be appropriate for the power I plan to make? The car will be media blasted after I finish the subframe/frame rails, then primed and any major rust will be repaired. Basically I want to build it right the first time so I don't have to tear it all down in the spring. This forum is awesome and filled with so much helpful info! Thank You!
