Re: installing 300zx suspension on a 4 lug 95 240sx

[chuckie500]

hey, i would like to know i have a 300zx entire suspension the whole nine yards. i would like to install this on my 1995 s14 240sx. before ibegin i would like to know is everything going to be a direct bolt on in terms of the hubs spindles shocks and springs and also ball joints. i really liek to know are there any extra parts i am going to need to purchase and also do i need to do any conversions or customization to make this work. also about the ride of the car as we all knowthe 300z is a heavier car and the spring rate is gonna be different if use the stock 300z springs would the car be extremely high and how woudl it ride???? if i was to go and purcahse a set of eibach sportlines?? how would it ride and also the height of the car. would it be low or high????

first ? is why....

SEcondly I HIGHLY doubt anyone has ever done this so noone will really be able to give much feedback on teh subject. If you have everything then I woudl swap brakes front and rear, brake lines (for rear Ebrake) and call it a day...

Post the rest up on TT.net and make a little $ if you can. Dont waste yoru time tryign to do somethign that will make your car worse off than it is now, not to mention all the money you would spend customizing **** to get it to fit...

First off, be happy b/c you have a 300zx suspension already on the rear of your car. It's the exact same design. You can literally bolt on the z32's rear knuckles, but will unfortunately need different struts (the lower mount is different).

Second, the front suspension of your car is almost exactly the same as a z's...the only problem is that the z has an extra wishbone on the top (and of course a different spindle to compensate). To install this piece to your car, you'll have to custom fabricate a mounting bracket and probably some reinforcements too.

thanks for the feedback when u say the struts are different would i need to purchase the 300zx struts ????? would it be worth it would the handling of the car improve??? but you guys are saying just the the 5 lug conversiona and call it a day with the 5 lug conversion alone what exactly do i have to swap out i am i going to need to purchase anymore parts.

thanks

bro

the z32 sus doesn't interchange with an s14

but s14/s15 rear sus is the samedont listen to that guy

trust me

you'll be pissed if you did

wahts wrong with S14 sus? its pretty damn nice..nicer than Z32...just buy some new OEM SE hubs, put em on the car and drive!!

there is no point to interchanging your damper/spring with another car unless say you get a pair of real cheap cusco 02R coilover for an A31 or something...you can put that on an S13 since its the same sus, and i would, because i got a deal...but i wouldnt give myself a headache just to say i have z32 sus on my s14...
