Gollum Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 Ok, finally took the pics I promised. Sorry it took so long. So here's the rack in my ZX, and it's the ONLY type of rack i've seen in a ZX so they're fairly common around here apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave88SS Posted July 24, 2006 Share Posted July 24, 2006 will a z31 rack fit? It looks like it bolts in the same way, I don't know how much wider it is though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jason84NA-T Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I don't think a steering rack swap is going to cut it based on looking at the S130 engine bay. To really position the engine well, you may want to consider a different turbocharger and/or manifolds. As for the VG's strength... it's a non-issue because people rarely push them to their limits. With a stock bottom end I made 453rwhp/484rwtq on 93 pump gas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade_Charlie Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Sweet! Im not a huge fan of the 280zx since I had no headroom in them . But Im a fan of the vg so any car with one gets two thumbs up! Everyone loves pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s12dave Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I just started thinking. The s12's front suspension is based on the s130's, so maybe the crossmembers could swap. I just measured the width of my s12's crossmember and it was 24.5" from control arm bolt to control arm bolt(not entirely exact because it was dark and I was under the car). What's the width of a 280zx's crossmember? If they could swap, it would make for easy v6 and even 4 cylinder swaps into s130's(s12's came with vg and ca engines). Not to mention that it could go both ways and make for easy l6 swaps into s12's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
