Calico Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 One if the guys in my Z crew has a z31, recently he had a moderate level fender bender and damaged his subframe. We went to the U-pull it to look at a few cars and he said one from a s13 looked identical. We pulled it and have it back at the shop, does anyone know for sure if the z31 and the s13 subframes are interchangeable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelp Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 LOL! Subframe for semi-trailing arms looks identical to a subframe for multi-link? I don't think so. Yes, do some fab work and you can put the entire S13 suspension under the back of a z31...but the subframes are in no way interchangable.

HowlerMonkey Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Maybe he is referencing the front crossmember? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelp Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Maybe he is referencing the front crossmember? Its still completely different....motor mounts are for a KA, the frame rails are different lengths apart, the rack is in a different spot, the offset for the control arms is different....

HowlerMonkey Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I know that. It was referencing your assumption and rant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calico Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Sorry i been away guys, ive recently started school again. My friends Z has been put on the back burner, and yes I was referencing the front crossmember. Since it is now useless i will mock it up to my s130 or simply junk it.
