jhm Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Here's another couple links you might like....there's some parts interchangeability between S130s and 510's, particularly front suspension IIRC. https://ratsun.net/ http://www.the510realm.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

260DET Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 How cool, the US reaching out to Poland. As for the questions, either transplant a S chassis suspension into the 280ZX or else race spec what you have or look at using a Z31 rear end. As for the transplant the problem is with the rear S cradle, getting it high enough for a PROPER RACE CAR is a big job involving severe fabrication.

TUME Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Yes, S130 suspension is totally different over S30. As said, Z31 is with same principal than S130. Personally, i think, S30 suspension is better than S130. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Never heard of anyone even thinking of putting a S30 strut type rear suspension in a S130 (280ZX) but you know there are plenty worse ideas. Fabrication would be required of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
