mattausten23 Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'm interested in doing a S13 rear subframe swap on my 72 240z since I can get a complete one for $300 with LSD and disk brakes. I know it's documented pretty well on here but I couldn't really find any final pictures. I was just wondering if I swapped the S13 rear subframe in my car will I have to run fender flares? Also can anyone hook me up with a link that documents the swap really well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forcer Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Call up Vildinni Motorsports. They've done the swap, and the car that it was done on has flares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RB240zDET Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Not a S13 subframe but I did a R33 GTS skyline rear subframe. You are going to want to run flares. Most modern cars have wider rears then the S30's had. The face of the hub on my skyline subframe is a few inches (2-3") in from the edge of the stock wheel flare. Take a look at my build and you will see that flares are going to be needed. http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/topic/102035-rbs-builds/page__p__955455__fromsearch__1#entry955455 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
