240sx crossmember in 240z pictures


Recommended Posts

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.

Mounted like a 240z rack and member would look, also it looks like it fit nice.

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!!!!!

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!

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!!

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
