300ZX knuckles bolt to a 240sx?

[RichthePoser]

Hey guys, while i was at the local 'pick and pull' i spotted a 300zx that had the rear-end intact with the brakes and whole shabang. Im wondering if I unbolt the entire alumnium knuckle/carrier will these work with my stock s13 rear end?

Im just worried the 5-bolt pattern hubs from the 300zx...

sort of, read about sport compact car's project silvia.

i assume you are talking about the '90-96 300zx, (Z32). your 4 lug hubs will work if you want to stay 4 lug, as long as you redrill the z32 rotors.

yep, i read through the section on the z32 rear swap, and was just wondering if I could keep the car within budget. $100 rears here I come

The z32 knuckles will work, but you have to use the 300zx strut assembly, which supposedly fit the s13.

strut assembly supposedly fits, however I recommed not using it. Dampening and spring rates are higher, due to the z's weight. What I do recommend doing however, is getting the z's shocks, and using 240sx koni inserts w/them. This will give you the right mounting poing, and killer dampening. I think, springs are interchangeable, but I'd do some measuring beforehand.

well i went back to the wrecking yeard today and managed to get the calipers, e-brake shoes w/ hardware with the cables. I left the rotors since that were down to the limts... but I left the knuckle w/ mounting plate since I left my gear puller at home (can't belive it did that.

The whole idea behind this is keeping it 4-lug with z32 rear brakes, but Im having trouble finguring something out. Do I need the z32 knuckle, or can I use its mounting plate with our stock iron knuckles?

I said screw it to the aluminum uprights, since the price was out of my wallet.

[RichthePoser]

not bad for $86

the stock knuckles work fine.
