Do you need a 9000 page factory service manual, or a haynes manual?

If you need somthing more like the haynes manual, go here:

http://arrc.epnet.com/autoasp/index.asp?sid=30212596&uid=s5524901.main.autorefctr

log in with "user" and "password", then scroll down to the auto repair reference center. It's got almost every make and model so you should be covered. A tip for using the resources offline:

Find the section that you need, and use the print option on the page; then send to PDF instead of to the printer. then you can keep a copy on your laptop, etc. hope that helps, pm me or reply here if you need anything else.

...im researching fitment of Z32 calipers and rotors...i hear without to much modification you can fit an s14 sway bar in and an s13 rack (need better adjustable tie rods)

 

...I'm considering doing an s13 rear end swap just to have a better selection of aftermarket parts...

 

I think most everything off of the S13 is a near bolt on endeavor, we have a local drifter here in Montreal who was selling his very nice, street S12 and he stated that only the shell was S12, he had an SR20 and all susp., direc. and brakes were from the S13...

I was looking for a proper service manual, not a haynes.

 

 

and I sortedout what I want to do with my front end as far as suspension and brakes go, but the rear end is trailing arm like a Z31. same thing actually (early Z, not the later/wider setup)....so theres not real 'bolt on' lol and an SR bolts right up granted u have an MK2 s12. also, what's his screen name? I'd probably know him off the s12 forum

i had the motor out to do some work (still need to finish the oil pan) so i just slapped the member on there, but you get the idea. i was a complete bonehead when i welded the mounts as i welded on the top plates backwards then followed suit by boxing in teh wrong end. DOH! thank god for a plasma cutter is all i have to say! haha they looked fuckign sweet too, now its butchered crap, oh well. ill grind/clean them up later and rebox them. i also quickly sprayed on some primer too so it wouldnt rust. ill paint it later as well. hopefully ill get the firewall/trans-tunnel cut out how i need it adn get the transmission mounted this weekend. yay

 

here's some pics
