Default Z32 suspension in Z31?

I know this would be a bitch to do, but exactly what would it involve, how hard, cost.

Also feel free to comment on other possible solutions to the shitty semi trailing arm suspension on Z31's and 280ZX turbos..

I'd love to stay nissan and get a nissan GT car, but the toyota MK3 supra dosent have this problem.......


Please help me stay in this forum lol

Hammer had that previously.

Regular upgrades suck for the Z31.


Mike, Tempy put an entire S13 rear crossmember into his car, and is in the process of running S13 spindles, s13 ball joints in his Z31 88 89 control arms with spl parts.com front t/c rods, and tein flex's all around..


talk about bad-ass!!

Cool, I am gonna go check out the costs involved... I've been riding in and driving some MK3's and Z31-T's here in orlando for fun....

I REALLY REALLY miss mine... SO FREAKIN BAD.

Question is.. if u get rear s13 suspension and I'm guessing S13 coilovers, now what do ya do with the front? who sells Z31 coils? in twos?


P.S. I wish Z31.com wasnt such a pile of shit.. their search function is terrible...

z31.com is better than any other Z board you will ever find for the z31. Try finding a better collection of information from people that might actually know what they are doing. I think you should be banned to zcar.com just for saying that.

If you use S13 ball joints in your Z31 control arms, and S13 outer tierods, then you can bolt an S13 spindle to it, and bolt an S13 control arm to the spindle, and then just drill three custom holes in the top for the S13 pillowball mount. UBER retrofit!
