    Parts compatible with Front suspension

    What parts can be possible be compatible with the Z31, besides all the welding cutting chopping custom method? How much of the S13 suspension can be crossed over, or any nissan suspension parts to the Z31, for example LCA+Knuckles? I've just noticed alot of similarities, between the control arm and knuckle, but don't know exact demension wise wether it will line up etc.

    ^^^ this. And all that effort you're not gaining any benefits over modifying the stock suspension parts.

    You own a z31, you should know that fabrication will be part of any modification. Or you can pay a company to do it for you.

    I had a dream one time that I could go to a store and order aftermarket parts for my Z31, one time.

    I went down the same path.
    I now know the parts quite well and understand what wont work and more importantly why.
    In doing so discovered that s14 brake adaptor plates with slight machining will fit z31 turbo spindles. And YES I'm excited! as this allowed me to implement my big brake upgrade relatively easily.
    Love z31's as much as I do? Check out my build: http://www.zdriver.com.au/index.php/…__80#entry2219

    Only on 87+ turbo spindles. Most should bolt on, no machining.
    Prius… because Pretentious wouldn't fit across the back of the car…

    Cheap, Fast, Reliable - pick any two
