Yeah, that is what I have done, 86 300ZX turbo hubs up front, so an easy 5 lug. But the Z32 wheels barely clear the strut. So barely that a clamp on weight on the inside of the rim hits the strut body. Obviously not acceptable for driving, but it looks pretty cool to roll it around !

Probably possible, I would want some type of reinforcement if I notched the "rails" where it seemed to me to be needed. As far as driving impressions, I wish I could. I am so far from driving it I don't like to think about it. One thing that you will need to think about, and all of this is from memory, but I think the rear track on the S13 is only about 3" wider than the s30, but the S13 uses FWD offset wheels. I have Z32 wheels on mine right now (just rolling it around) and there is only about 1/32 of clearance for the front wheels. My point is that I plan to use RWD offset wheels all around, but it wll get fairly wide n the rear. I think I am about to order a set of YZ flares from John Washington. Did you mention, are you wanting to try this on a Z or ZX ?

my car is a full tube frame. I stuck the subframe under the stock unibody, and it seemed to me that the front a-arm mount would try to occupy the same space as the "frame rail" where it curves up behind the tool storage. As for the reasons for doing it, mine have mostly already been mentioned, but modern suspension, easy LSD, easy disks, easy 5 lug conversion, lots of parts available. Of course easy is relative, but when you are doing a tube and all you have to work out are the subframe mounts..... I will try to get some pics and post when I have them. Jason

It's been a while, but I seem to remember having a similar problem that turned out to be an issue with specifying the proper port in the software. I'll have to dig it out an have a look....

Before I bother John, does anyone have the total width, drivers fender lip to passengers fender lip, of these 2 kits (rear is all I need). I don't see it anywhere, although I may be overlooking it. Thanks ! Jason

I saw the car at Charlotte too, I was shocked it was an auto as well. Its not SUPPOSED to be an F40 kit. According to the sign with it, it's supposedly an IMSA kit done factory. I'm not sure I buy that part, but haven't researched it any. Jason

Hey, count me as a maybe, but it would have to be after Christmas. Which unit are we talking about ? With or without coil packs ? D or E I think.... Yes, I am new here thanks to Mike Gibson for posting this to the IZCC list..... Jason
