twistex Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I have my whole 240z front suspension out to refurbish and put all new bushings, tie rod end, tie rods, ball joints, bearings, 4x4 brakes and more. While it was out i wanted to see how nice the 240sx crossmember sets inside the engine bay! I did it rear rack and front rack just to see. I think it would fit pretty good. rear steer rack 240sx style Mounted like a 240z rack and member would look, also it looks like it fit nice. mountning points more mounting points not perfectly lined up but you get the idea. again not perfectly lines up but just a rough idea! Anyways i would do a 240sx front setup on my z but! you have to fab or i will have to check and see how a front tension rods would be mounted to adjust caster of course and what sway bar to use or mounting for 240sx style sway! also i would use a 240sx style coilover setup and use the weld in z caber plates. The 300zx z32 brake calipers I would then use and sell my 4x4 caliper setup! JUST A THOUGHT!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt K Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Very interesting...although I think it would probably benefit more from having the rear suspension. Better LSD options, beefier axles, etc. There was a Japanese guy back in Okinawa who had a kick ass S30 with a fully built SR (T04Z) and the rear subframe from a GTR...that thing hooked!

twistex Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Yes the rear 240sx irs would be cool, but just thought i would check out the front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueovalz Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 Interesting. Thanks for FYIing that to us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twistex Posted March 13, 2007 Author Share Posted March 13, 2007 Yeah Np for the FYI! I was also thinking of possibly using a 240sx lower control arm so I could use a aftermarket 240sx coilover and 300zx brake setup. All in all its just easier to refurb your stock 240z suspension, install shock and spring and get some aftermarkey adjustable stuff. Possibly putting the sti rack also!!

edsonflores@yahoo.com Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I know this is old and stuff but I do think t would work with not much modification. yes reversing the 240sx crossmember to be that same as the stock s30z and reversing the sides of suspension from left to right, right to left. and use oem rack and pinion with the 240sx rack and pinion tie rod. maybe idk just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
