What will fit my Z31, years, models. And whats the length of a solid axle for the Z31? Are there suspension and mounting mods necessary? If so, what? Are there kits? What about the differential, wanting an LSD of course, and what about the drive shaft. If I am able to do my engine and trans swap soon, will I have to have one made. the engine and trans I'm looking to get I believe come out of a solid axle model... Skyline, early 00s I believe the one I particular liked... RB26DET w/ 5 or 6 speed I can't recall,( I was going to print it out for the loan proposal so I don't recall the trans, I'd take either). With dreams of moving up to twin turbos.

HAHAHAHA!!! You're going to buy an RB26? Now that's a riot.

No solid axle bolts into place. NO rear suspension swap is a bolt in procedure. Any swap you do requires intelligence or common sense. You still appear to be quite lacking in this department.

I can't wait till this all comes together. I'm really sorry i can't explain myself better. i know what I want, and I am learning what will work for what I need. Had a blast on ebay the past two weeks stocking up for build. You guys must be very satisfied with your Z's, I'm glad. Another a year or so and well as you said I don't know anything, which allows me to do anything.

I'd tell you about the new turbo, Voltage module, grounding system and intercooler, but what do I know. All of its probably a riot, like the RB.

If I can take it off I can upgrade it. Its that simple. If there's no solid axles then, I'll be doing alot of maintenance on mine. And it already has an LSD apparently so, so that's solved. What's your problem with the RBs? It seems like the best bang for the buck, especially the N1 series. You just got a b**** about any of my ideas you don't think are practical don't you?

Get it through your head I'm alittle eccentric, and drive very unorthodox. Which inclines me to do some far fetched things with my preformer ( that's not my daily driver in case your not understanding).

Nope. I'm going to point out how stupid you are being. If you actually do any of these things you say, post pictures and prove me wrong. But I don't think you're actually capable of doing even one tenth of what you say you're going to do.

The RB is the best bang for the buck? Really? Have you priced an RB26DETT?

What's in my head is you're a little idiotic and you drive like a moron. All this does is convince me that you're just daydreaming about stuff you'll never actually do.
