RPS30.Drvr Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 Hey guys, well i think my build is finally on the way. I already tore down my s13 car and sold the shell. Now the rear suspension will be grafted onto the rear of the s30 as well as the front cross member. I know everyone will wonder why and to copy someone else's statement. 1) Easy to source parts for CHEAP (and easier to replace if broke) 2) I know and understand the S13 suspension and culture. I have a lot of friends who can get me parts on the cheap. 3) I wanted something different. 4) It widens the stance of the 240Z by a few inches. 5) I have already spent quiet a lot of $$$ on upgrades to the s13 suspension. Including z32 brakes, coilovers, 5 lug hubs etc. I also have a fully built sr20det that made 377 rwhp on a Mustang Dyno @ 11psi. Here are my pics so far. New MSA Type II front air dam.

RPS30.Drvr Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Well Its been a couple of years in the shop with nothing done to it. After getting back from Afghanistan It was about time. The s13 suspension was fitted in. I also fully modified the front suspension with a doing away with the McPherson strut system and replacing the crossmember with a Double A-Arm front suspension with coil-overs. it was NOT a "Mustang II suspension but designed more like the Camaro/Corvette style suspension. The front also has 13" Wilwood brakes with manual Rack and pinion steering. As soon as I can figure out how to post pics I will share with you.

RPS30.Drvr Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 https://goo.gl/photos/z5q6Y5rFFRyMys2J6 Here is the mounting location for the front ears of the s13 IRS. I had to cut out the seatbelt retractor "pockets". that is the exact spot where the mounts/bolts had to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
